I guess the Facebook forums are more popular for Lectric dialog than here. Lectric released an announcement last week stating that in a small batch of XP 3.0 bikes, they found safety issues that could lead to brake failure. They are initiating a program to offer every XP 3.0 owner a hydraulic...

I see a number of threads about Hailong batteries - but mostly about how to mount, etc. Anyone know any facts about the quality and safety of these batteries?

I find that many people in the Lectricverse are obsessed with claiming the stock brakes are crap, and it's hydraulic or stay home. I'm not getting it. My wife and I both have Lectric style bikes with disc brakes. They provide More than enough stopping power. I lived on my bicycle as a...

I haven't been here in a while. I jumped into the ebike world last year in March or April I think. I had a great time last year. Bought basically a Lectric clone - from a 3rd party dealer selling Paselec ebikes. It's possible Paselec makes Lectric bikes, but I don't know. All I know is the...

I watched a fascinating YouTube video about the possibilities of sodium ion batteries, but it sounds like it will be a while before it could possibly trickle into the eBike world. Anything significantly new/different coming for the 2023 season? How about U.S. dealers? Any other names...

I didn't get this when I first started, but now I am. Because I am not using most of the gears. Basically living exclusively with 6 and 7. 6 for a hill, 7 for everything else.

I'm making big strides in comfort as I adjust the bike for my body. First was seat cover. Then seat height. Then very important, and I didn't realize this - seat angle. Today, I reversed the bars. I'm only 5'6" with a short reach, and I always felt like I was putting too much pressure of...

So, sometimes I swap batteries for charging, and sometimes I just charge inside the bike. Probable dumb question - if I am charging inside the bike, and I have to interrupt the charge to move the bike, having to pull the plug out, does that waste a charge cycle? Does a typical battery pack...

Got humbled today trying to go too far too soon. Most of my rides, often after work at night, are not very long - 5 to 7 mile sprints. There's a ride happening in my area tomorrow that is 28 miles - 14 one way and 14 returning. This morning, I tried to *test* if I could do it. With the heat...

I need to raise my saddle. I have a Lectric type bike, and the post is locked with one of those locking levers. I did it today, super tight, as tight as I could make it, and eventually, the saddle slid down. I'm sure I could come up with a home hack, but, what is the Proper way to deal with...

Can you take a look at this pic and possibly recommend the Park Tool spoke wrench I need? The tire is a CST/CHAOYANG 20x4. I don't have info on the rim. Here are a couple of pics. Any help appreciated.

I came across Honeywell eBikes. Anyone know anything about them? Is this the U.S. company, or, is this a Chinese company using the name until caught? The Dasher eBike they have looks interesting, actually. For a brand with so few eBike models at this time, they actually have one of the...

Some of you know that I am fairly new to eBiking. Started my journey in March researching, placed order in 3rd week in April, received bike at end of April. I *thought* I did lots of diligence, but, I have to raise my hand saying I failed miserably. I *love* my bike, and I don't have any...

My bike has crap cable wrap. Once I take it off to repair something, I don't believe it will go back on nicely. I also want access to all the wiring. I want to be able to see connectors so that I can purchase some replacements in advance of failure. What's a tidy cable wrap solution that...

I had a good regimen going since end of April - pretty much riding every day the weather allowed. That all screeched to a halt last week when I got very sick. Still recovering, and I feel like it will be some time before my lungs would allow for pedaling. Might take some throttle rides just...

Check out the seam on my rim. Is this normal or the start of a problem? Thanks.

Anyone know of online sources of replacement parts? I know Letric will provide some, but I am looking for a 3rd party source for things like motor, brake, and chain related compatible parts.

I ordered a spare battery, and today I did a swap for the first time. Fortunately, the new battery went in and the bike powered up. But, the battery I pulled out: what is the proper orientation of the pin when out of the bike. Pin in or out? Does it matter? Thank you.

I tried to get my wife to try the bike. She tried, but she got off very quickly. She was very spooked by the acceleration, with PA1, when starting out. I Do think there is room for improvement with that, and maybe other eBike manufacturers have improved it already. My bike is basically a...

Spring here has been up and down, and even when it is mild, it has been 60's ish in the evening - sometimes cooler. Today was my first ride in real heat. It is currently 85 here, with a heat advisory for it going higher later. Zero cool in the air. Feeling very hot out. Was a glorious ride...
