You are quite correct ...kind of defeats the purpose of the exercise aspect LOL. But if you do pedal with gusto you can increase that speed higher, especially if you're going up any kind of incline, also easy easier on the battery..
The battery price is back to $212.89
We have the 10.4amp not the 10amp, but still a good price.
Yep sorry, just clicked on the link and listed the lowest price.

That works for speed. But for extended range you should pedal with some resistance to help the motor work less. You might as well set pas and just use throttle. Im not saying you have to work hard but help some.

I have some acreage in the country with some Mesquite trees. I use slime in lots tires around the place. I do not use it in the cars or trucks. For one thing, it has been my experience that it only stays useful for a year or two at most. I add more when I get a leak. I dont think it is designed for use at hwy speeds.

I wouldn't buy that battery.
I was capturing some footage from an XP ride in the mountains with fall colors last week, for an upcoming review I'm working on, but just put some clips to music for fun. In case some here are stuck inside with the weather and can't ride for now ;-) It's a little longer than I was hoping, but wanted to match thew music track.

Blanket statement, offers no explanation for reasoning, offers no alternative whatsoever. Nothing. C'mon man.
Lectric likely purchased "their batteries" from the Chinese just like they did these XP ebikes with their names slapped on them then sold them to us at a markup. Only value we get is USA "customer support" and name. Meaning they've got spare bike parts to cover oopsies and make the Americans happy. Wouldn't want to disturb the sales and reputation now would we? Otherwise, it's pretty much moot.
What battery then would YOU buy? I'm listening and really want to hear your answer. I'm sure the rest of us would like to know what the "correct" battery to buy is.
PS - sorry man I'm just a little ticked off, let's try and help each other here. Correct me if I'm wrong. I apologize ahead of time for coming off so rude.

I don't have to explain anything so no one reasons with me
I also don't have to tell you what battery to buy.
Everything is explained on battery page. Its made for Samebike lo26 which is 350W bike.
Now Look at BMS info. 15 to 20A? Which is it? 5A max difference is a lot. What if its 15A max and your bike pulls 18A? Even at 20A it is on low side. XP is limited at 18A but +/- 2A is normal for controller.
Need more info. Plus with good cells it should be at least 30 minimum.
Looks like everyone wants exactly same battery and its OK but you will have to find a place to transport the 2nd one.
I can tell you right now that backpack is very very bad idea. Ammo box or fireproof bag would be the best.
I be getting rear rack battery and I'm not saying that's the best or "correct" battery. It just makes me feel safer plus I don't have to disconnect one to run the other. Just turn off one with key while other is on.
P.S. Don't apologize , it's a sign of weakness , plus it looks like some here like rude statements.

Do you carry your laptop in a fireproof bag?
The cells are the same as these ebike cells.

I knew there going to be someone with no knowledge asking question like that.
Is your laptop battery 54.6 volts at 40 amps?
Now if phone battery can burn a car and single cell from your bike battery pack can kill a person what will happen if you have that pack on your back and get into an accident and that pack gets short?
Do what you want , I don't care , its your life.

Careful? Always.
Based on your question was my answer.

I have direct shorted cells @ about the 5:00 minute mark is what happens, well sometimes not always sometimes nothing happens.
Lets look at how the pack is put together thou.
cells are spot welded together then they feed the bms, the bms has FET'S to switch the flow of electricity on to the bike. If you were to short out the whole pack the FET would fail.
The biggest concern with an extra battery is how to carry it...
They don't fit in the bags that came with the bike.
backpack? I guess that would work but bouncing around getting hit by the pack over every little bump doesn't sound fun either.
The question I have about the batteries on AliExpress, where is Lectric getting their batteries from? AliExpress has every available part for the XP, why would the battery any in different? An earlier post said the Rattan battery was interchangeable with the XP.....where did the Rattan battery come from? I don't think bike companies are building batteries, GM an Ford doesn't, the just rebrand from battery manufactures.
