    I bought the Rhinowalk 25L pannier(s) from Amazon and the battery fits fine in it. It is a very good quality waterproof bag that also comes in a 20L size but the battery is too tall for the smaller bag. There is lots of room in the 25L bag to put protection in for the battery.

    Let's design an inexpensive work stand for the XP

    Looks good, I think I would double up the wood in the center where the flange is screwed/bolted down. I would also use my hole saws and make a plastic spacer to put on top of the union/coupling to protect the bike.

    I'm riding my bike with a 34t and I love how it helps get up the hills even when the battery has been drained. Most of my riding is in the middle to higher gears so having the 34t is like having a secret cheat code that you don't use too often but really appreciate it when you need it.

    Just the brake or left side of bike axle was not seated all the way in the dropout, the axle was straight. No noise, vibration or rubbing on mine.

    So the 11-34t freewheel I ordered from Aliexpress on Oct 15th arrived at my house on Oct 25! I decided to put it on that nite and it was a bit of a battle, I found that my rear axle was never fully seated on the brake side of the dropout so my wheel has been sitting crooked the whole time I have...

    Carrier bag to hold a Lectric XP

    That's the one I'm using, just be sure to buy the BIGGEST one they have and the bike will just fit into it. The bike does seem heavier though since the box is not as easy to pick up as the bike by itself. I only found these at Lowe's and they do sell another one from Craftsman of the same...

    The bottom has a long adjustable lever that fits over one of the legs of the rack, it seems to work best when pointing to the rear or down at an angle towards the rear.

    Look up the Rhinowalk 25L bike bag on Amazon, you can't tell the difference between it and the Ortleib and it only costs $56! It's fully waterproof, has a small pocket on the front for tools, comes with a shoulder strap, the mounting points are adjustable so you can push it right to the back of...

    You did what you did with best intentions but if you don't have time to explain say you will explain as soon as possible, not just "I wouldn't buy that battery" leave everyone hanging and then get upset when called on it. We need your brains and experience but a little explanation and thicker...

    "P.S. Don't apologize , it's a sign of weakness , plus it looks like some here like rude statements." Apologizing in real life (not in movie quotes) is usually considered to be not a sign weakness but of manners, of maturity and accepting that one does not know everything and sometimes we do or...

    The old school kickstand may not work with our style of bike since it clamps to the V of the frame under the seat that goes to the two sides of the rear wheel. If you look in Roadies post under Known Issues & Problems with Lectric eBikes Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes page 1 he shows how he...

    Nice to see that you figured out the mounting, did you make a new mount? What did you buy to connect the light or did you cut the original wires?

    Lectric XP

    I went to the Rattan site but the "fatbear" code did not work for either of the fat bear bikes. I like to think that I would buy one if it was available for 1000/1100 but the XP fenders and rack make it a much better deal and more usable on the "wet coast" and I can add hydraulic brakes and a...

    I used to live in the desert in Mexico where there are these "goat head" shaped thorns. I couldn't do even one day without a flat until I added slime and didn't have a flat for 5-6 years except when I parked the bike for a few days but as soon as I pumped up the tire and went for a ride it was...

    Looks good but don't trust the blinkers, every rear bike light is of the flashing type so cars won't expect you to turn!

    The XP is my third e-bike and all of them drained the battery on uphill runs but the level goes back up on the flats.

    Did both and the bike will not match gps, will keep playing with it and if it still doesn't work will probably choose accurate odometer over accurate speed
