    Lectric service in Nashville area

    Most local bike shops will do common repairs. You won't likely get them to work on the "electric" stuff but will likely get brake repair, shifting, tire, chain, gears and the like done. Ask around to different shops as you might get turned down the first few shops. For the electric stuff...

    Replacement for control unit glass

    I'm confused. Do you mean the display that is mounted on the handle bar or the controller installed behind the battery input plug inside the top tube? The controller doesn't have glass... Call Lectric for the replacement display, they will send a replacement.

    Flipping the stem on an XP3.0 Step Through - any issues?

    Yes, rotate the handle bar back, then rotate all the peripherals, grips, brake handles, shifter, switch group.. Because the bike uses a folding stem that is also adjustable, it's not practical or simple to do anything other than adjust the handlebar. Do the easy things first.....

    Flipping the stem on an XP3.0 Step Through - any issues?

    Replace the current handlebar with a riser bar. Instead of mounting the handles higher, rotate them towards yourself. The stock bar is about 3/4" rise so switch them out with something that has the amount of inches you would like to have closer to you. Most bars are going to be wider which...

    Rear Brake linereplacement

    I'm not familiar with the xpeak but here is something that might help you pulling cable through the frame: Use the old cable to HELP GUIDE the old cable by connecting the end of old to end of new. You can use an allen screw or anything of similar diameter to stick in the ends, then electrical...

    New XP 3.0 folding step through - power bleed w/ switch off ?

    Capacitors on the electronic boards and power supply control circuits hold a charge kinda like a battery even though the power is disconnected (or battery key switched to the off position). Capacitors work different from batteries though and will discharge all at once so when you push the power...

    1.0 battery discharge pin bent

    The battery itself doesn't have an On/Off. There is a key that turns off the power on the battery itself but it is part of the assembly L Weaver is replacing.

    1.0 battery discharge pin bent

    It's like a car battery, keep the two leads isolated from each other.

    1.0 battery discharge pin bent

    You will need someone with good soldering skills and understanding of high power battery handling. This is the link for the standard battery connector but the vendor carries the step thru version as well but you'll have to look through their store...

    XPedition feedback: good design, bad execution

    Paul, I welcome you to the forum. I don't think the orbitor rack was designed for a toddler of 4 years old. A kiddie seat is likely more appropriate. The Lectric Orbitor Rack web page states "A passenger incapable of riding a bike on their own should not ride as a passenger. Use your best...

    (2) standard (OEM) batteries or (1) long range battery

    On my XP standard battery on PAS 2 then PAS 3 as the battery ran down some I was able to get comfortably 35 miles in range. The bike would run at about 14 mph throughout on the flats with very little effort peddling. If you don't run above PAS 3 the range is pretty good but as you push past 14...

    (2) standard (OEM) batteries or (1) long range battery

    How many hours at most do you think you'll be riding on a single trip or how many miles? With that information I can give a real answer.

    Handlebar diameter at the grips 7/8”?

    Great. Gave you accurate info then. The 3.0 step thru is definitely 22.2. I was a little concerned if you had the xpedition, cargo, peak since those are bigger bikes that Lectric may have put beefier bars on.

    Handlebar diameter at the grips 7/8”?

    22.2 millimeters is how you will see it described in bicycle lingo. It is 7/8" Imperial USA. Santa, also want to welcome you as a new member. It's a good practice to give us an idea of what you are trying to do something like this: "My handle bar grips won't stay in place and I don't like...

    XP-2.0 500w motor

    Just reach out to Lectric. They are very reasonable with prices after warranty and they are known to even replace for no charge after warranty expires under some circumstances. They will send the whole wheel assembly so you won't have to build the wheel and true it. Unless you're a highly...

    New Lectric Xpress

    In my experience with them (6 purchases), they have been the most respectable company I have dealt with in the past 30 years. They are a company that tends to under promise and over deliver a vast majority of the time. They are a U.S. company that does all manufacturing in China and so they do...

    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...
