6zfshdb, Thank you! I installed the ElectricAllWheel (EAW) twist throttle to replace Lectric's thumb lever. No improvement. Interestingly it now feels exactly the same as the Lectric Trike2 750 did - no response at all for the first 10 degrees or so of twist, then hang on! As soon as all the...

As the title says I'm working to add a GRIN DPS + External Shunt onto my Lectric ONE. Why? Because the standard Lectric speed control - tried thumb throttle first then the rotating throttle - both still act like a light switch. Can't accelerate smoothly away from a stop - just a lurch to...

RunForTheHills, I meant solder/shrinkwrap for the Julet connectors. Still haven't figured out where to tap into the system for power. The screen has a USB port but I'm fairly certain that's not it :rolleyes: Still working on that, Tom

RunForTheHills, Thank you again. Everything is ordered except for trying to figure out the power connection. I intend to solder and shrinkwrap. Makes me feel better about the connections long-term. Tom

RunForTheHills, Bullseye! Here's GRIN's reply: and when I asked, So it looks like if I can correctly identify the throttle input to the CA and correctly wire its output to the Lectric controller, plus locate a place to tap the CA shunt into the power input to go to the CA, I should be in...

RunForTheHills, Thank you once again! I have passed your suggestion back to GRIN in the form of a question. I'll let you know what they respond. Tom

Got a reply from ebikes.ca giving an answer "yes, but..." Using their products, what I'm asking can be done, but is very involved. They provided a link to the first 15 minutes of this video to illustrate the level of difficulty: Sigh... Not sure I want it that much. I intend to keep...

RunForTheHill, Thank you! I've signed up and asked my question there. Any more activity, I'll add a note here. Tom

RunForTheHill, Does "Yes" mean that it will work on this particular ebike to correct the "light switch" throttle action and make it gradual? Soldering and using a multimeter is no problem. I'd need concise instructions concerning what wire goes where. Is there a spot on the 'net that shares...

The Lectric ONE is much like a lot of ebikes: the throttle is more like a light switch than a throttle. I've tried adjusting the settings in the PAS and other areas that could possibly affect the smoothness of the throttle - particularly when starting off from a stop or trying to hold a steady...

The ONE is interesting. Like a videocamera equipped bird feeder I received a few years ago, it needed a firmware update right out of the box! The rear brake self-corrected! Lectric's service person said give it a day, so when I tried it this morning it worked! He said if it had been upside down...

OK - got the first Lectric ONE together. No rear brake at all - brake lever goes all the way to the handlebar without any resistance. Tried "pumping" it a number of times without any noticeable improvement. Front brake rotor is warped. Seems like the brake gods don't want me to have any fun...

Prepaid return shipping, prepaid replacement boxes and full refunds for both trike2s. Lectric rocks! So when their prices went back down, bought two Lectric ONEs. Tom

Just a short note to confirm that Lectric's customer support has been the best. We got two new 750 Trike2s which had problems. Lectric not only took them back but supplied return boxes and prepaid shipping. It did take almost four months and lots of emails and videos, but in the end we were...

UPDATE: Lectric has received the red trike2 and issued a refund! YAY Lectric! The blue one is supposed to be picked up today. Fedex has proved less than reliable so we'll see...

Don't know if it has anything to do with tariffs; Lectric ONE went up from $1899 to $2399 yesterday. That's $500. I was looking at buying two but that made me decide to wait and see... Tom

Extreme1, Thanks for the tip. Probably too tall for us (26" wheels are less manageable for us) and way up there in the budget, i.e., 3K+ prices. Still hoping for 20" rides to be OK. Tom

Chazmo, Thank you for the followup. Both of us have become trike-resistant! I rode mine about three miles, she about one. It's obvious for us there's a long learning curve since our bicycling reflexes seem to get in the way. Also there are places we'd like to use an ebike that won't work with...

Thanks for the suggestions! We both had problems trying to adjust to "how to ride a trike" so we've agreed to try another 20" ebike. Lectric's ONE is at least 20 lbs lighter than any of the prior ebikes we've had and has the equivalent of an automatic transmission. I'm planning to try one after...

Update today: Lectric has been very responsive - after more than 3 months... The red one is scheduled to be picked up by Fedex (that's a "believe it when I see it" - not Lectric - Fedex!) tomorrow. Last time we scheduled a Fedex pickup they didn't show. A box is ordered for returning the blue...
