There’s another thread on the forums discussing the expected lifespan of e-bikes, particularly the motors. Given most e-bikes are, at the core, just bikes with regular bike parts, the real question is motor and battery replacement. When I ordered my Rover a month ago I did so expecting to ride...

I bought a Lectric XP back in December and love it but after 6 weeks riding I realized I wanted more range and front shocks. I ended up buying a Rover and have been riding it now for just under 3 weeks. As of this morning I’ve got 394 miles on it and after today’s ride I’ll be up around 424...

Another range report and I’m adding a new e-bike to my collection but not a Lectric. I love this bike but when I bought it I was not expecting to be taking long rides. It was for a 2 mile round trip to my parents which I‘d assumed would often or always be unassisted, throttle only. But I’ve...

Up until 2000 I was a regular daily cyclist for recreation and commuting when I lived in Memphis. A knee injury forced me off the bikes. 19 years and I’ve just yesterday gotten my first bike. I unpacked my lectric at 2pm and brought the battery inside to warm up before charging it. The green...
