    Replacement controller options?

    Been around 8k of throttle only use on my XP 1.0 the controller gave out and started giving me a code Error 09. Ordered a new controller from Lectric for the 70 bucks; hopefully this solves my issue.

    Known Issues & Problems with Lectric eBikes Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Yikes! My XP is about 2 years old with 6k or so miles on it...hopefully this wont be an issue for me. Did you do a lot of curb hopping? At least you could part out the rest of the XP and sell the parts out to get some cash. Battery and motor could fetch some pocket money for the next eBike...

    Roadster V2 Gravel Edition

    Ive got the regular Roadster and its a great bike...silent and quick with virtually no maintenance on the belt. The Gravel Roadster with all the upgrades...Gates belt, disc brakes, and wider tires; are all ideal upgrades and makes me wish I had the Gravel edition.

    Warning to those thinking about buying an lectric bike 2.0

    Putting motorcycle tires on an eBike is not a great idea IMO. Regular fat bike tires are 2-3 pounds each while motorcycle tires are 9-10 pounds each...that will be a whole lot of tire resistance added to eat away battery range and power.

    looking for studded tires 3" x 20" for my xp 2.0

    I would think motorcycle tires would add a lot of rolling resistance because of the added weight per tire, that would eat a lot of battery life and capacity while riding. It looks a motorcycle tire that would fit the XP's rim would average around 10lbs each tire while regular bike tires are...

    I have an Outbound Lighting Headlight for $175 which produces 1800 lumens and has a cutoff for the light like a car headlight, it also comes with a 3 year warranty and is a USA made product...it is easily mounted on handlebars. The headlight is super bright and I can see debris on the road even...

    I just got my 14AH Samsung battery pack upgrade from Aliexpress/China this Friday. Paid around 370 for the battery + shipping and had to wait around a month for delivery. So far from my limited testing the battery has better range/capacity and capable of providing a higher drawing amp current...

    Balance charging and BMS' on eBike batteries

    I am getting told by a manufacture that their Retention eBike battery BMS' make it so balance charging is unnecessary....I am skeptical.

    Balance charging and BMS' on eBike batteries

    I read this article but its a bit complex: https://batteryuniversity.com/article/bu-803a-cell-matching-and-balancing Will an ebike battery still require a balance charge every once in a while even with a BMS? I think the BMS does not matter for balancing unless it is an active balancing system...

    Anyone with a 500 series ST with a noise issue?

    Sounds like a regular hub motor noise at high speeds. A higher powered motor will make more noises. Its kinda like comparing a v4 to a v8 for example. A hub motor contains planetary gears inside that power the hub and wheel. When in heavy use, those gears will make noises; this is normal.

    Bike Light powered by my on/off switch connected to a battery bank?

    I would be wary of those no name Amazon and aliexpress branded lights that have silly claims such as "40,000" lumens or "1800" lumens for 15 bucks. They are usually way underpowered...you get what you pay for, basically.

    Noise from rear hub when going 21mph+

    Yep, sounds like the fender reverberating from the motor vibrations. Fairly common.

    When is it time to replace the battery?

    Yeah I think I am going to have to take my stock XP battery to a battery repair pro to salvage it. Ive tried balancing the cells doing a few deep discharges and extended charges but the battery is still having the same issues. The battery voltage tops out around 54v, when doing rides it seems...

    Guy was traveling in the bike lane that I usually travel too...pretty scary stuff. I passed by it yesterday and the officer stopped me and told me to stay safe and if it were him he would ride on the sidewalk, there was a cylist who just got killed by a car. I saw what was left of the...

    Bafang Ultra 12v Headlight Wiring?

    Check out the Fisherfabhouse 36-96V 3200lumen headlight, its one of the brightest headlights out there. Additionally, I would recommend checking out the Lumotec IQ-X E headlight; 6-60V DC power supply (requires minimum 7.5W nominal output). It is not as bright as the Fisherfabhouse but it does...
