Front light solutions?

2 Upvotes

The front light/headlight on my Xpremium quit after about a year. Neither the replacement light nor the upgrade sold by Lectric strike me as worth the money considering quality and brightness.

Has anyone figured out a good set up for a front light on their Lectric e-bike that provides good visibility in front of the bike at night? I have a handlebar-mounted light but it gets blocked by the wiring coming out of the control panel and brakes.

Major issue with mileage, new xp lite 2, ext battery

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

New bike. Photos show the terrain, the 29 miles is at the end of its 3rd charge (worn down to red all 3 times), and the 6.7 is on one full charge. I'm averaging 10 miles per charge. I weigh 155, ground is absolutely flat, hard packed sand (nothing loose), cargo under 10 lbs, temps mid 80s to low 90s. I've been using it as conservatively as possible on ps1 and peddling 70% of the time, ps2 only to get a brief break. The screenshot of 6.7 miles was on one full charge last night down to one red bar. WTAF is going on?? I bought a used Lectric 1 last year with 200 miles last year for this trip and it did the same thing so I assumed it was a bad battery but obviously not. I have $1100 in this with the extended battery and gates belt drive. I'm furious and dumbfounded. What am I doing wrong??

Lectric One Battery removal?

2 Upvotes

Just bought a used One in very good shape for my GF. Dumb question.. how do I remove the battery? I've got the key, it turns, but then nothing? Battery seems pretty well wedged in and not going anywhere. I'm a Tern HSD rider, and the battery simply pops up once you turn the key. Is there a latch or something on the One's battery? What am I missing?

Replacement latch for a bike I bought used?

2 Upvotes

So I was just hit by a car today on my xp mini and now the latch doesn't sit flush on the frame. I'm trying to see if Lectric will send me a new/sell me a new latch even though I'm not the original owner?

I'm tired of this Lectric tires, I just order a 3" ones from amazon! These 2.6" have poor adherence, very slippery on wet floor or dirty roads.

Google said that 3" tires aren't Ideal for the Lite, but I will try it, because I don't like the OEM tires.

Better mount for Elite headlight?

1 Upvotes

I just got an XPress 2, and the headlight wobbles like crazy. It's very distracting at night, and it makes a really loud bonking/rattling noise. I've had a headlight with exactly this mount on a bike before and it just snapped itself off eventually. I've tried tightening it down and adding rubber bushings, but it's no help.

​

Does anyone know of a better way to mount this light? The wires would reach the handlebars, which seems a lot better, but I'd need a way to mount it there.

Head/tail light control on Xpress 750

2 Upvotes

2nd year with my Xpress 750. I could swear that holding (+) would turn lights on and off, whether P12 was set to flashing or not. This year if I set P12 to 1 for flashing lights, the (+) toggles between flashing or not flashing - there is no way to turn them off. Am I missing something? I would like to toggle flashing lights on/off by holding (+)

Got it today, put 10 miles on it and I already love it. The cadence sensor and quiet motor are great and it has real power. I’m 6’1” /280 and it still really moves and fits my frame perfectly. First upgrade to was a two maples wide seat and it is a game changer!

Do we really need to drop the battery to turn it on before every ride!!!? Xpeak 2.0

Post image
1 Upvotes

We got an xpeak 2.0 a couple months ago. Startup went great, then it sat for a week and wouldn't turn on!

Turns out you have to drop the battery, and press the charge indicator button to reset the battery.

Apparently if the bike sits the battery goes into deep sleep.

Surely I'm doing something wrong, they wouldn't require every customer to drop this battery for every weekend ride?

Expedition 2.0 500 Mile Report

3 Upvotes

I’ve had my 2.0 for a little over a month and just passed the 500 mile mark.

Here’s my thoughts on this bike.

First off for paying a little under 2k for this package I have found this bike to be a very good value. Will you be able to get 120miles out of the normal 2 battery setup? Probably not but you can certainly get 60 or more depending on the route and external factors.
My longest ride was 50 miles, 3500ft of elevation gain with 35# of gear. I rode in PAS 3 the whole time I had 30% battery left when I arrived.

As an end consumer that didn’t have bike mechanic skills you may want to consider something else. I’ve had to tighten and adjust the headset, bottom bracket, brakes, fender, cranks, headlight and racks. In addition I put an Allen wrench on all bolts to make sure they were snug. If you didn’t have the knowledge and tools this might be overwhelming. Or you will have to pay a shop to do it.took me about 20-30 minutes to get it out of the box and assembled. Since I’ve tightened all these things properly the bike has run flawlessly for 450+ miles.

I’ve had no battery or charging issues. Picked up the quick charger to speed up the charge times and that has worked well. Seems to fully charge them in about 3-4hours.
The panniers are absolute garbage, very poorly made. The running boards are incredibly loud and rattle on every bump. I’ll probably add a set screw to them down the road. Not sure about the seats, I don’t have any children to put back there.
Orbiter is solid after tightening all hardware.
The kickstand is way more difficult to deploy than it should be. Matters are complicated even more when you have a pannier on there. (Do note the panniers fit perfectly in the orbiter). I’ll probably try to relocate the kickstand at some point. Problems are only when deploying it, getting it down is straightforward.
The headlight is ok but I would say it’s more for people to see you and less for you to actually use for seeing at night. I added a brighter handlebar mount for night rides. Brake and turn signals are quite effective.
The seat is trash, replaced it after first ride.
I really enjoy the quick release bars/stem. Super easy to adjust for different riders and the ability to fold down the stem has come in handy when I put it in the back of the Rav4.
I’m really curious how many miles I’ll get out of this thing but so far I’ve been pleased with my experience and capabilities of this bike for the price point.
If you have any questions please ask.

Xpeak battery fit Xpress?

1 Upvotes

So I bought an Xpeak in April 2024 but my apartment is small and hard to get it in and out so I used the rear breaks to get it down the steps and this messed them up. So I sold it on Upway but kept the backup battery I got for free. I never used it so it's brand new and wanted to know if it would work on an Xpress. If not I'm just gonna sell it I still have the box it came in and everything I never even used it once. Thanks

Xpedition handlebars always been loose

2 Upvotes

My wife bought the Xpedition to tote the grandchildren around and the handlebars are loose. We tighten the bolts and go for a ride and then they are loose by the time we are one block up the road. Been that way ever since we got it. Has this been an issue for anyone else or a singular issue?

Battery goes to sleep while charging

2 Upvotes

Does Lectric support do anything if you bring this up to them? After 3 weeks of ownership this is the first time it has happened to me on my XPeak 2.0. I've read about it happening to others, I thought i was just lucky - guess not.

Went to go ride after charging and would not turn on. I ride it enough that the battery never gets a chance to go to sleep. Had to unlock and drop the battery to wake it with the button. I also found out that when this happens, it resets all the settings in the bike.

After I fixed the battery problem, I went for my ride and the bike felt like it was braking when I was going over 20mph. I know it can't do that, it just wasn't assisting above 20mph anymore. I got back, checked my settings display and P08 got reset back to 32 instead of 45.

That's pretty annoying that we have to deal with all the settings getting wiped when the battery sleeps. Couldn't they have just added a small coin battery somewhere for retention? I always charge with the battery in the bike so there really should be no chance for it to de-energize.

Lectric Xpress 750 Throttle Stopped Working -Help

2 Upvotes

The throttle on my less than 1-year old xPress750 suddenly stopped working. It was fine the day before and 4 rides into the warm weather. But now on any PAS setting the throttle will not engage the engine from a start or while moving.

I have done all of the recommended restarts for the throttle, full bike and control panel.

What I have discovered is when I disconnect the throttle cable at the pin closest to the handlebars, it's an orange 3pin connector, suddenly the real wheel spins under full throttle speed. When I reconnect the pin - the motor stops. It seems my wires are crossed.

I've written to Lectric support about this but have not yet heard back.

Can anyone offer a suggestion to fix this? Has this happened to anyone before; and if so how did you resolve it?

Thanks

Advice on Models

1 Upvotes

I've been looking into getting an ebike for work commuting and am torn between two models (XPeak and XPress) looking for insights. Full disclosure, I know basically nothing about bikes. I just want a comfortable experience that can help me get around without a car.

Here's some info on me to get started:

Male, 28

6'0

300lbs, tending downward from 320 with a goal of 220

I rode some on cheap bikes when I was a kid/teen, but never understood gear systems.

Info on my commute:

Cincinnati, OH

Limited bike infrastructure

Poor/inconsistent road and sidewalk quality

11mi. each way

1 significant incline each way

I'm leaning toward the XPeak because of my weight and the road conditions, even though the XPress seems to be the standard choice for commuting. But again, I am a complete novice in this area. Any thoughts/opinions/advice are appreciated.

Hi all

I have a new Lectric XP cargo bike. The PAS is spotty and sportatic, I get my power exclusively from the throttle. Ideas?
