Charging port plug

[ebikester]

The plug for the charging port on my XP doesn't go back on very easily. It's my only frustration with this bike. Does anyone else have this issue and if so did you find a way to fix the problem or have you just left it as is?

Its a joke..they should of just made a slide-over cover instead.

Both our XP's, harder I tried to push it in there, tougher it was to do. Be gentle, easy does it worked for me, now they both seal shut.

I ended up unscrewing the little rubber piece and that made it easier to insert. I would then pop it out when I needed to charge and set next to charger. Kinda a PITA but it was driving me crazy when it was attached to the bike...

I wonder if anyone has tried a lube on it. As is seems to be made of vinyl, maybe silicone would work?

I noticed the same exact thing...when you take it off the screw, it goes in like butter. The screw doesn't have many threads but still....

I just stretched the strap holding the plug to the screw and now fits perfect
