We've had two of the XP2.0st bikes for about 18 months and love them. Great machines in nearly every respect, but as noted on this forum before there seems to be a "buzzing" rattle that comes from behind the rider at a certain speed when the motor is under load. I've traced it to a sympathetic...

3-alarm fire in a New York highrise, with 38 injured. Apparently caused by a lithium cell in an apartment occupied by a bike repair guy who has received complaints in the past. The Fire Marshall said there have been 200 such fires this year. I suspect a major factor is the proliferation of...

Bought two of these XP 2.0 st models last Christmas and we love them. I've added a couple of bolt-ons on mine; the most recent is a pair of rear footpegs and a rear seat. It makes sense--the XP can carry an extraordinary amount of weight (330lbs, I think) and the luggage rack in back is rated...

We've had our Lectric 2.0ST ebikes since Christmas and love them. Well-made, lots of features, and an amazing bargain for the price. One minor issue I noted early on was the riding position. For my body at least I had to lean slightly forward while riding, causing fatigue in my wrists and...

So the BAQI USB Handlebar port arrived the other day. --I was concerned that I would snap off the handlebar mount so I heated up the plastic with a hair dryer and it slipped on with no issues. No need for spacers, it fit the handlebar diameter perfectly. --The power cable is just long enough...

Bought two of the XP step-throughs last month and we are enjoying them very much. One topic that often comes up is the location of the battery keyhole. It's at the very bottom on the bike, which makes it hard to see while inserting the key. I've resorted to just leaving the thing on unless...

So I've been educating myself on these ebike battery pack designs, and once again YouTube has been my friend. From what I can tell Lectric could easily offer an extended-range battery pack by using 18650 cells rated for 3.5Ah rather than 2.4Ah. One fellow on YouTube did extensive tests with a...

Just one week into riding a step-through Lectric, so perhaps take my thoughts with a grain of salt. BUT-- I think I can see how some (perhaps many) think e-bikes are dangerous. I hadn't ridden any bike for years and it has taken me this past week to once again feel the balance sensations and...

Just got a white ST and set it up last night. First impressions: (1) Beautifully packaged and the workmanship and paint are excellent. (2) This thing is HEAVY. Hadn't ridden in years and I was then on a featherweight street bike. But heavy isn't a big deal; I'm not carrying it up a flight...

Okay, second post here, so go easy on me. Getting delivery of an ST Lectric today, looking forward to riding it. Yeah, strange key location, which I'm sure will be modified in the future. But my question is, if there's no possibility of theft, why not just leave the key on? If the display...
