    Lectric XP 3.0 folding e-bike pedals

    The pedals are fine for typical use on most surfaces and riding that 80% of people use the bike for. Some people playing around with bmx style or trying to ride like a mountain bike will find them insufficient but that doesn't sound like you since your second sentence started with "Old guy here".

    XP Lite Owners - Wish you had more power?

    I have a lite, that replaced my xp (too heavy). The lite is a reasonable compromise if you want a simple somewhat light weight somewhat decent speed handy ebike with ok range that folds for stowing at a really great price for what you get. There are lighter and better stowing bikes but they...

    I ordered Xpeak

    Nine times out of ten when I see about a person hitting toes on the front bicycle wheel when turning they have a motorcycle background. On a motorcycle, the middle of your foot (arch area) rests on the pegs. On a bicycle the ball of your foot is placed on the pedal. By placing the ball of...

    Lectric One

    Seems like a strange setup. Why put a robust expensive drive train on a hub drive e-bike? Hub drive e-bikes barely put any strain on the drive train anyway. On the other hand, end user adjustable automatic shifting will allow the bike to be set for the peddling cadence and peddle assist the...

    Changing percentage of power within the power assist levels

    Reach out to Area 13 ebikes, they carry some upgrade kits for some brands (not sure of your brand). Eggrider also has a programmable display but it only works with brands using a particular communications protocol on the controller (can't remember which one).

    new XP2.0

    It seems error 9 is a controller error not a throttle error. You can go through all the connections but if that doesn't work then the controller needs replacement.

    XPremium Q's

    I suspect you won't find a freewheel with 11 tooth anyway. Only way to fix the ghost peddling is to increase the size of the front chainring. Will likely need a longer chain. I got used to the PAS jump and actually ride PAS 2 then switch to PAS 3 at towards the end of the ride as the voltage...

    XPremium Q's

    For transparency I own the XP 1.0 but am very familiar with the lineup. I have other bikes mid-drive, full size standard frames etc. Same fat tires, similar frame & gears. I've used suspension seatpost with the 4" tires. For me I vote meh, my wife has back issues and is a big fan of the...

    Clueless Slime question

    Slim will prevent most thorn/nail/splinter caused flats. There may be a little pressure lost as some air can leaks out before the slime does it's job. Depending on how hazardous your paths are, your risk tolerance, and distance traveled from your start point (you can push the bike with a flat...

    Actual range of XPremium?

    Pg 46 of your manual says to push the button on each battery to take it out of "sleep mode" and or to activate the led battery bar charge level. So it is likely you only pressed it on the main battery on the downtube.

    Lectric XP - Correct Threading Die

    Don't you have a local bike shop to take the old and new fork to? Probably charge less than the cost of the die....

    What will it take to convert a 2.0 to accommodate 4” tires? Post links if you got them!

    Check out the 20" tires on RAD Ebikes site. They have a couple street tread in stock that'll work. They are big enough to get tires Ebike rated that are not available elsewhere. I'm thinking they are 3.25" to 3.5" but with street tread.

    What will it take to convert a 2.0 to accommodate 4” tires? Post links if you got them!

    If you're going from 4" to 3" the stock rims and all will work. I put the Kenda Kraze 3x20 with street tread on my stock XP. Much nicer ride on asphalt, concrete and still does gravel well. Not so good on dry beach sand but ok on damp.

    Xp2.0 what's a good derailleur replacement?

    Depends on why you want to replace it. If it is broken beyond repair I bought this as it allows you to run 7-9 speed Shimano cassette/freewheel and can also handle up to a 45 tooth granny gear not to mention some other benefits over the Tourney derailleur that came with the bike. Great deal at...

    What will it take to convert a 2.0 to accommodate 4” tires? Post links if you got them!

    I would put the Kenda K-Rad or CST Big Boat road tires available from Rad Ebikes one is a 3" the other is 3.3" road/multi use. So much easier than replacement of fork, axle etc

    What will it take to convert a 2.0 to accommodate 4” tires? Post links if you got them!

    So if your front fork is too narrow for the tire you purchased then either switch to a slightly narrower tire or...... Replace front fork, front axle (because the drop out will be wider) add the correct width spacer to the axle. The front wheel bearings are loose ball cup and cone so you will...

    What will it take to convert a 2.0 to accommodate 4” tires? Post links if you got them!

    So it seems like if you could have stayed with a 20x4 instead of the 4.5" it would have just barely fit without any other modifications? While riding and turning hard the tire will flex laterally and more so on a narrower rim than wider. That lateral flex might rub on the fork without 2-3mm...
