    New type Ebike lock...

    Whooooo'wee... I looked at that Can-Am! That's a rocket ship in disguise. I see a lady in leathers with silver hair streaming out back. I doubt steering would have been an issue, a throttle limiter would probably be appropriate. Good for her. Jim

    New type Ebike lock...

    OO'ter... I'm kinda lucky, the trike lives in the apartment with me. Your wife won't have a lick of difficulty with her experience. I have been a 2-wheeler, powered/unpowered since I was maybe 12 ...~70yrs ago. I had to accept slowing down in other areas, so this fits right in. My trike is the...

    New type Ebike lock...

    Fexi... Ya, I use it at the food store, Doctor's offices. Typically places I go are quite exposed/populated. Plus, what 18yr old hustler wants a fricking Trike anyway? I had previously used those small chains with a key lock, but no longer..even in the most visible areas. Strangers walking by...

    Spoke tension adjustment...

    As a geezer with too much curiosity and time, I watched a video on Spoke Tension. Hmmmmm... I put this rear trike wheel in my lap and did a round-and-round ..top/bottom One spoke was -4 under the general 3-32 kg range and one was 4> over. They're all balanced now! My next project is to see if...

    How do you draw down a battery for long storage?

    Gratzie, Paul... I will add a note to my calendar. I keep it in the living room so it's not an 'out-of-sight' kinda thing. Cheers. Jim

    How do you draw down a battery for long storage?

    I did it (enough for me anyway..) It took 110 'leaving the lights on' before I got what should be a suitable result: 7 green bars out of 10. My next project is 'spoke tension'. ...some of us 'need projects'. Cheers. Jim

    How do you draw down a battery for long storage?

    Thanks all... I've decided to test the 'long route'... I simply turn on the lights and wait for them to drain the battery. 'Shucks... Lectric figured some retard like me would 'accidentally' leave them on so they have an auto-shutoff feature. BUT.. the workaround is to bring the bike out from...

    How do you draw down a battery for long storage?

    Inanek... I am trying to picture your configuration? ...'just pull out the battery and make a simple connector for + and - ? Jim

    New type Ebike lock...

    Interesting. Thinking cable locks, even multiples, would present little resistance to a bolt cutter ....I needed to upgrade to deter the guy with a grinder. The large metal 'folding ruler' style Lectric provides is cumbersome, heavy and often difficult to find a place to attach other than the...

    New type Ebike lock...

    I have been fiddling around with those thin 'cable locks... sometimes adding one on either side of my trike's rear basket so it might confuse someone cutting the first one only not being able to get away fast. (I also suspect Trikes are not prime targets...). But, I found one I really like: a...

    How do you draw down a battery for long storage?

    T'anks Roamers... I thought a bit later. Even tho I dare not risk riding it (today..) maybe I could have someone else ...NAAAAW! ..ain't gonna happen. Cheers. Jim

    How do you draw down a battery for long storage?

    I bought a Lectric XP Lite 2... but as a cripple I really needed a Trike. (now w/500+mi) The XP-L is beautiful, so I am reluctant to get rid of it... But the battery is charged to like 99%. How do I draw it down to 50, 60, 70%? I can lean it over the kickstand and throttle, but don't have the...

    Must carry tools: what are yours?

    I go first... a medium and small adjustable wrench ...a.buncha Allen wrenches. And since 'never was the last time I was close to a gas station when I needed air in a tire, I got this small pump off Amazon that is magic compared to those old long things with handle at the top that you pumped...

    Does anyone here use State Farm insurance auto-type insurance?

    As a crippled geezer I have switched from living 20mi out of town to apartment living... and from cars/trucks to an E-trike. I find the Lectric Trike XP 750 the perfect way to add freedom to up grade the word mobility. I now only need Uber if it is pizzing down rain. The iPhone even provides me...

    Two brands make a great rearview mirror..

    One man's opinion, but being new to e-biking I want to see what is going on ..on-my-left. Back when I rode BSAs and BMWs I was the one squirting out to pass. Now I'm concerned as I 'am the slow lane'... The Lectric XP2 Lite Trike came with a pair of small round, bar-end mirrors. I cannot use...
