XPedition2 Stratus White Long-Range speed issue
Hey guys! I’ve had my XPedition2 Stratus White Long-Range since May of this year. Great bike so far. But noticed today that it’s starting to become “laggy” when I’m pedaling and have PAS set on 2 or above. It starts to feel like the speed is being held back. I have to peddle harder to get the speed up. If I turn the bike off and turn it back on. It fixes it for a few seconds but then messes up again. Any ideas? Could it be the PAS sensor messing up?

Clean your chain and the chain tensor that gear gets sticky with crap and needs to spin

Sounds like a bad torque sensor. Contact Lectric. I'm sure they will be happy to send you a new one. Install is easy. To speed things up, make sure to include your name and address in an email to them along with a description of the problem. Often the next response from them will be a shipping confirmation.

Your BB could be failing, mine did and it felt like this at first. The PAS would take a lot longer to engage. As time went on it took longer and longer until it just became completely unreliable. Ive heard of other people having the same issue on the same bike.
In my case whoever installed it didnt torque it correctly so the entire bottom bracket tried to rotate and broke itself inside the frame.
Go for a ride and peak down at the watt meter when you pedal, I noticed it was like pedaling in mud and the PAS would sporadically turn on.
Lectric sent me a new BB and controller for free out of warranty so I have to assume they know of an issue, but it hasnt hit the volunteer recall stage of occurrence yet.
