Great looking bike! I noted that the specs for the T1000 describes the Riding Mode as "6 Assist Levels W/ Active Throttle." Good to know about that "active throttle" and your remedial solution for it, thanks!

That's an interesting turn of events on the part of the shipping company, and one that I have not heard of before. Also, I had not heard about ET.Cycle, so imagine my surprise when I Googled them and found a dealer just down the road from me (sort of) in Goderich, Ontario! Thanks for sharing...

Thanks for the feedback. I had to smile when you mentioned shipping companies and international rates. I had to pay Lectric an additional US$200 (that's close to a bazillion Canadian dollars*) for the privilege of having FedEx dawdle around with bringing my brand new Lectric eBike across the...

Thanks for the info. But that's just the point. As you stated "Any other parts you may need for your ebike should be available for purchase from Lectric unless they go out of business." Except that now, other than any parts covered under their existing one year warranty, Lectric will no longer...

Yes, thankfully those parts you mentioned are not proprietary and can be sourced elsewhere. For proprietary items like the battery though I likely will have to rely on a freight forwarding company, which unfortunately increases the time and cost of the overall purchase. I do live close to the...

Yes, an explanation of some sort would definitely have been appreciated, and might have helped to soften the blow somewhat. But because their decision may have been based on sensitive financial or otherwise proprietary information, I can understand why no specific details may have been offered...

TL;DR - Lectric eBikes effectively abandons international customers by suddenly ending international shipments. I was hoping that my first forum post here might be about how much I enjoy using my Lectric XP Step-Thru 3.0 Long-Range eBike on the backroads and trails of rural Ontario, Canada. But...
