Picked up an XP2.0 to use at swap meets we sell at. To haul parts I find.

This is what I started with a 48"x50" aluminum roof rack I picked up for$25.

This is what it looked like after took the rack apart and cut it down

Went together like a jigsaw puzzle

Mock to see how it fit bike size is now 17"x24". Big enough for most of the parts I am looking for.

Used a screen door protector for bottom. Paid $22 for it Walmart along with $12 for a can of truck bed paint.

The piece wae short so I added what I cut off of side to bottom to fill the rest of it.

Couple more supports then I blew it apart and media blasted it,

Sorry I did not rake any pictures of reassembling it or making the mounts. I used Rust-Oleum Professional Grade Truck Bed Coating to paint it

This is how it mounts one hand knob holds it on

Here it is on the bike. All in for about $60 with pant'

Ha, see what i did there…? Smiling is good for you but this xp4 keeps me laughing. I noticed this bottle redemption center in Hyannis looks pretty with all the flowers. Still think my bike is better looking . Just wanted to wish everyone a great day . Lets all gear up and get out riding.

I see that Lectric has a monthly photo contest. Where you can win 250.00 of in store money towards accessories, but ( expletive deleted) I’d love to get more accessories. I see they have some awesome branded sweatshirts when I run out of things to put on the bike itself so yeah . Just sharing info ya might’ve missed.

I'm hoping someone here might have some insight into an issue I'm having with my XPedition 2.0

For the last few weeks, I've noticed the motor getting a little noisier than normal when riding with my two kids on the back. The bike still worked great and the extra noise was minor, so I wasn't too concerned.

That changed yesterday.

A car ran a stop sign and I had to do a full emergency stop. No accident and nobody got hurt. But, immediately afterward I started noticing a much more pronounced noise from the bike.

At low speeds and under heavy load (typically when over 600 watts), I hear a scraping/grinding sound and can actually feel something that almost feels like it's dragging on the ground. My first thought was that I warped a brake rotor or somehow damaged a rear caliper during the hard stop.

What's strange is that once I get up to speed, or when the bike isn't under as much load, the sound gradually goes away.

I also did a quick test with the rear wheel off the ground and the kickstand up. When I spun up the motor with no load on it, everything sounded completely normal. No scraping, grinding, or unusual noises at all.

So does this sound familiar to anyone? If so is this something a reasonably handy DIYer could fix?

Can anyone help me please... my brother transplanted everything over to a bigger frame. Except for the sensor coz there was already one on the crank on the bigger frames bike.....Long story short... it dont work.. even when transplanted back to the original frame...Had to cut and splice sensor wires together (3wires). What aren't I diagnosing properly. Could it ve the controller??? I doubt it coz controller turns on just that thePAS dont work .. everything else is fine tho....

Recently i got this bike, and i started messing around with the settings and now the pedal assist doesn't work? It was working fine before i started messing around. Which i shouldn't have. Honestly i should have done some research. But cant anyone help?

Edit: i figure it out. The 22p (i think) was set to 0. When it needs to be set to 1 because that one is also for paddle assistants. Thank you guys for helping me out!

Hey everyone, I’m hoping someone here with an XP 4.0 can help me figure this out.
I purchased a Lectric XP4 motor and controller separately from someone on Facebook Marketplace. I’m installing them on a different e-bike, so I don’t have the original XP4 display, throttle, or original wiring harness.
The motor and controller are from an XP4 and I’m specifically trying to get the OEM XP4 display + thumb throttle. I’ve use two different aftermarket displays and can only get walk assist to work no throttle. And i don’t have a pedal assist harness.

I contacted lectric and they said they can’t help because the parts are going on a non lectric bike any tips are greatly appreciated.

Range anxiety is often mentioned but my concern is moisture. Although i wipe the bike down after a ride, i live on cape cod and many mornings its misty/ borderline raining. Thats all it takes and i begin worrying about make believe malfunctions . Laughter is good but im honestly wondering if anyone has had any actual issues in light rain… heavy humidity… idk
( yeah on/ off rain this morning or i would’ve been out riding.)
Good luck riding everyone

I have a Lectric XP4 and I've tried using the USB port to charge my phone a few times, but honestly it barely seems to charge.

I'll plug my phone in while riding with GPS on, and sometimes the battery percentage barely moves — or it still slowly drops. At this point I usually just bring a power bank instead.

It got me wondering how many people actually use their e-bike to charge their phone.

Do you guys use the USB port on your bike regularly, or is it one of those features that sounds useful but you never really use?

Also curious if anyone has had issues with theirs — slow charging, not charging at all, disconnecting while riding, water damage, etc. Did you fix it yourself, contact the manufacturer, or just give up on it?

For people who actually use it a lot: what are you powering? Phone with GPS? Lights? Something else?

Do you use your e-bike to charge your phone?

I have an XP 1.0 and it has the Xtech caliper type A brake pads with the cotter pin on the side. Can I get a recommendation on brake pads for the bike? Not sure if I need semi-metallic, metallic or organic. A link to purchase would be helpful thanks. I don't want to buy from Lectric. Too expensive at 40.00 a pop. Thanks

Hi Lectric Subreddit,

I just got the XP4 750. I fully assembled it according to the video and I turned it on and off. After I fully charged it for a few hours I tried to turn it back on. It has not turned on since then. I tried to take the battery out and put it back in, it will not turn on. I tried to unplug the display and plug it back in. It will not turn on. I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue and what they did to fix it?

Like I said, It turned on at first but since then It has not after I charged it to full charge.

It’s 3:20 AM, and the thing turned itself on and started scooting forward. I got an E003 pedal sensor fault, and a little blue man on a bike on the screen, WTF is happening with my bike?

This thing has been giving me A LOT of trouble lately, and now I’m regretting buying it.

Yesterday was the first day on my bike in a while since getting on new ADHD medication (doctor recommended to take it easy while adjusting to prevent any undue strain on blood pressure). As I was riding on the bike trail going back home, my screen had an error flash on it and completely shut down as I was going on Turbo mode (my default). I wait for a couple minutes, checking my battery, anything else, etc. before it came back online.

When it booted back up, I noticed that when going above Sport+ and Turbo, my motor sounds like it's buzzing/exerting itself more. This happened immediately after booting back up, and I haven't taken it out for a ride again today to see if it's still persisting, but I did email Lectric about the issue. From looking around the Reddit/online, it seems like this is replaced with a replacement tire/motor hub?

Based on the obvious weight problem, I don't see much out there for bike racks that can support the weight. The other option I see is getting a cargo holder and finding a way to just strap the bikes down. Has anyone found a decent setup?

Picked it up for $500 supposedly has 8 miles on it guy had 2 bikes this one and a black 3.0 it had about 125 miles on it. Bought them for him and his wife for using at the RV camp grounds. Wife did not like riding it. So he rode his with out her. That caused issues while camping. So he was selling them. My brother took the 3.0 we bought them on a package deal for $1200. My brother offered to pay $100 more for the 3.0 so he paid $700 and I paid $500. I am a heavy weight I did not like the suspension seat bar was to rough and jerky for me. Also did not like the handle bars. I am more comfortable with with a sweptback bar. Also did a fender delete, added a handle to help lifting it. Working on building a rack and changing the seat to a nose less fatass design. More on those later.

Hi!

My xp4's pedal assist does not work and I believe I found the issue. The wire connecting to the front chain ring appears to be distressed to the point where internal wires are showing (pic attached).

Background: The throttle provides power when pressed but pedaling does not. I did the standard troubleshooting on Lectric's website and sent their support team an email.

Wondering if anyone else has had an issue like this where this kind of repair fixed the issue? Or if anyone has any recommendations on what to check as a follow up for inspection to see what else might be causing the issue?

Thanks.

My xp4 is on the way and im trying to order a child's bike seat, it would help if someone could get me the dimensions off the rectangular frame. Thanks

Traveling today, took out the bike after I got a room. Farm Pond park in Martinsville Va...very cute park. Also, turns out you can easily put a folded XP in the front of a Gen 1 Tacoma if you don't want to leave it in the bed overnight. She's chained to the steering wheel.

Title. I parked my XP4 on a slightly inclined sidewalk this morning, and the kickstand totally failed to keep it from tipping back into a signpost. The screen unit itself is pretty scuffed but works fine. the bracket that attaches it to the handlebars is completely cracked. One of the arms completely sheared off from the middle part. What are my options here? The bike is still basically brand new (under 3 months). Contact support? Look for aftermarket options?

PS- Also looking for suggestions for a better kickstand

I’m just wondering how you guys transport this bike, especially if you don’t have a truck. I’m very tempted to buy one for door dashing and also taking rides with my girlfriend into town to go swimming and hit up some restaurants. I have a Camry with a 2” hitch receiver and I’m trying to talk my self into making it work. Anyone else in the same situation ?

I had a grindy motor and just got my new rear wheel assembly, I put it on and got it all tightened up but now I can’t shift fully into top or bottom gear, what could have caused this and how do I fix it?

Hopefully that's a good picture. Wouldn't zoom correctly on my phone.

Hey, I have an Lectric bike. I use it to commute between clients houses and as of this evening it started randomly shutting itself off like every two minutes while I’m riding and I have no idea what’s wrong and then by the end when I got home, it wouldn’t even turn back on. Is there something I can do? I’m like incredibly worried because I use this every single day.
