    helloooooo Anyone bought the adjustable riser on their site to raise the handlebars and bring them a little closer? Looks as though it comes with a new screen. https://luckeepbike.com/collections/accessories/products/x2-adjustable-riser

    Did you see the new version with the bar on the top? Should make it more stable as far as the wobble upon taking hands off. Also much more structurally sound than any step through type bike. The big downside is that you can't fit a big 2nd battery on the new bike as the bar is in the way. I...

    I went ahead and took off the front tire to see if it would fold. It's really not happy about being folded though it does not appear to have wire in the tire. Left some creases that didn't want to come out when unfolded. It went back on the rim and as I added air I massaged it back into...

    Sorry for the late reply. YES about a month ago I was on a ride and wanted to pull my gloves off so at a medium speed I took my hands of the bike for a split second and it immediately started oscillating in the front. I assume it is because there is no tube at the top to offer more rigidity to...

    Where can I learn more of the differences between KMSS and Protocol 2? Good to know that a different controller is needed. Not a big deal but good to know. From that it is possible but unlikely the brake wires would be different and perhaps no turn signal that exists on the current...

    With fresh battery it's hitting 28mph level ground and dropping to 26 after a couple miles. This is throttle only. I looked through a lot of bike reviews and was not finding much in the way of class 3 bikes, with normal (not fat) tires, comfortable sitting position (not a race bike) that would...

    Thanks guys. I will look at the KT controller and the motor mentioned. I enjoy the bike and it fits my needs as is but I like to tinker and I don’t count the cost in fiddling around with something I enjoy and get to learn something while I’m doing it. The existing motor is 750 watt but I’ll...

    Nope, just lack the electrical background to adapt it to what I want. Perhaps someone here with more electrical knowledge than you or I can give actual technical help I can learn from.

    I have recently purchased a class 3 bike. It's not giving the speed I'd like so I'm exploring options. The manual for the display states "KMSS protocol limited speed adjustment scope is 12-40km/h; Lithium Battery No. 2 protocol limited speed adjustment scope is 16-64km/h." Mine is more inline...

    I finally got a ride in. Made sure I was fully topped off and charged inside so battery toasty warm. 50F out and right off the bat went full throttle on level. 28mph dropping to 27 then 26 in 3 miles. It was exhilarating to go that fast but I was hoping for sustained 30. I know 28 is class...

    Short axle. Only about 1/3 of what could be accepted in the fork.

    Loosening the bearing nut helped a lot. I can still feel it's not perfect like maybe a sealed bearing might be but it's way better than it was with just a tiny loosening. If all is well with this bike I will look for a longer axle by about 1/2 inch for piece of mind since it's not sticking out...

    I forgot to ask; what top speed did you see? Before I bought I asked the seller what speed the bike would do with no pedaling and just full throttle on level ground and was told 30mph. Hoping this holds true as some bikes you must pedal to get over 20mph with pedal assist you can get 30...

    Screen 1 important bits are 2.9A charge rate, .003 Ah accumulation. Screen 2 important bits are 2.9A charge rate, 42.5v upon plugging in charger, 123w from charge rate X voltage. The battery registered 40.05 volts prior to plugging in charger and was lower than this when received. The charge...

    It was a notchy feel when rotating front tire. I will back them off and use grease mentioned if I can find w Google or Amazon. Bummer I’m starting with not enough threaded axle to start with so backing off bearings will give me even less. My brake rotor was also not installed. I guess it’s...

    No damage on mine, box had a quarter size hole but otherwise all good. Sorry about issues on yours. My only issues were adjusted front and rear brakes to allow for smooth spinning and the front axle barely being wide enough to catch the two posts. Seems another 1/4" width on each side of the...

    Mine came on Tuesday. Nice a little early. If you take the battery out of the bike there is a button next to three or four lights on the battery. Looks as if you press the button and it shows you the level of charge. I get nothing but haven't charged it yet.

    I also picked up this bike. Amazon had a better deal by $150. $1,100 inc shipping. I didn't opt for the extra battery. Want to confirm they are actually 20A capacity. That's a lot of cells in parallel to get there. Anyway it fit the bill with class 3 speed, big battery and normal size...
