    Thought I'd share a letter I sent to Lectric on behalf of all of us waiting for our bikes.

    The key that you use to turn the battery on, also turns on a "lock" mechanism which protrudes from the battery through a hole in the frame. So the key is either "on", "off and battery locked into frame", or "off and battery is unlocked from frame". There isn't a special trick here other than...

    Thought I'd share a letter I sent to Lectric on behalf of all of us waiting for our bikes.

    You know what, you are 100% correct. I totally misread that, my apologies. I still don't think I can consider that jumping the line. In all actuality, those paying the extra while getting their bikes sooner, they are also likely freeing up bikes that might already be on a boat? It sounds to...

    Thought I'd share a letter I sent to Lectric on behalf of all of us waiting for our bikes.

    I agree there might be better ways for them to have handled the bottleneck for sure. I also imagine that for every single "other" way there would be some other kind of backlash as a result. Personally, I would have liked to see a "we don't charge your card until we ship" approach, but then...

    So...whats this hole for?

    To me that back part looks welded on, so I imagine it also goes on another bike and is used to hold something else. But it looks pretty solid like you could mount something there if you wanted to.

    Thought I'd share a letter I sent to Lectric on behalf of all of us waiting for our bikes.

    I can understand the frustration of everyone waiting on their bikes. I too shared in that frustration a few months ago. I'll offer this. After the estimated timeframe was up, or close to it (I can't exactly remember now), I started to send emails to inquire about my order. I was polite and...

    Lectric Battery Replacement

    Well there are a lot of batterys out there that are similar to this, I wonder if he might be able to retrofit a newer one? https://www.sixthreezero.com/products/battery-for-ebikes?variant=33317892751495 I found that, but I think that one has a built in tail light, and I am sure would need to...

    Ever think of getting a companion to the XP? Of course you have.

    I swear I saw someone riding one of these just the other day, or something similar. Its just to small...reminds me of a clown car. Its not the rider looked uncomfortable or anything, just like like an adult on kids bike. Thats one of the reasons I was drawn to the XP in the first place. It...

    Lectric Battery Replacement

    Is that a "lectric" battery? Is there a part number somewhere? Its kinda cool with the gauge on it, but a part number or the specific thing it came off of would help in trying to a find a replacement.

    Mirror question

    So I am researching what type of mirrors to get for our bikes, just wondering what you all have or think of these two types? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XWRMZZF/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_xax2EbKEHAX7K?th=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009R96YK So I like that the hafny ones don't require...

    Motor feels like it is crunching when I pedal

    Try turning off PAS (set setting to 0). If the crunchiness still happens, I would take a closer look at the gear train and chain first, maybe you picked up a rock or it’s dirty or out of alignment. If you think it’s that, I would find something to support the bike on…bike stand..something so...

    Cleaning.

    So Muc Off makes a nanotech bike cleaner, a waterless wash and a ebike waterless wash. Finish line also makes an ebike wash of some sort, but seems more of a aerosol than a pump spray handle. Does anyone have experience with some of the “ebike” products? I want to order on Amazon. High powered...

    Cleaning.

    What is the best way to clean the bike if covered in “trail dust”? I assume hosing it down is a no no. I can imagine an air compressor will help, but I can’t imagine it will get it entirely clean..

    Witch is better

    It’s unfortunate you will have to wait to get your bike, but I think you will be happy when you do. :) Right now it’s going to be hard to get anything near this price point. Even the more expensive ones are hard to find.

    What is the correct voltage for a 'fully charged' Lectric XP LG battery? Please & thank you.

    Even after a full charge on a lithium, you are still going to experience some decay. Especially because I am sure the supplied chargers are charging at a 1c rate at the nominal voltage. If you could crank the voltage charged at up a little bit higher you might see the full 54.6v. Also every...

    Why I'll stick with Lectric and wait it out...

    I’m not trying to steer anyone away, because I truly feel these guys are doing the best they can to try and get everyone their bikes as quick as they can, but if you read up on the previous venture, I believe it has a F rating. That said, everyone deserves a second chance. I have only put a...

    March 17 '21 order: 3-4 weeks until shipped; Waited 11 weeks until delivered on Jun 1 (OP) & June 3 (Tom J B).

    Charging, the battery is going to handle what it’s going to handle. I’d have the do the calculations but I doubt that 4a vs 3a is going to hurt it. The higher the current, the faster it will charge, the faster it will also go, at first. The real benefit is if you can charge the cells at a...

    I like the handlebars. Do you have links too all that aftermarket stuff up there? Are the handlebars wider? (That was the second complaint behind the key lol)

    March 17 '21 order: 3-4 weeks until shipped; Waited 11 weeks until delivered on Jun 1 (OP) & June 3 (Tom J B).

    So second bike came today finally, the white step through. No issues with the packing but I did call fed ex and worked my way through to an actual person to complain that my bike had been sitting just a few miles away since Sunday or Monday. Holiday aside, no reason for that. Surprise surprise...

    March 17 '21 order: 3-4 weeks until shipped; Waited 11 weeks until delivered on Jun 1 (OP) & June 3 (Tom J B).

    Well I put air in the tires, 20 front, 25 rear and rode it a bit last night. It is a fun ride! I haven't even hit a mile yet, but at least I know it works. Chain did not rub against the tires, seemed to shift fine. Wish brakes had a bit more stopping power. Should I lubricate the chain? I...
