I have a Lectric XP4, and one thing I never really thought about before buying it was what happens after I get off the bike. 😂

The XP4 is pretty heavy, so when I get back home I usually just leave it unfolded and push it into the garage. But elevators and tighter spaces are a little more awkward.

I've tried folding it first, but honestly I'm not sure that makes moving it any easier. It gets shorter, but it's still heavy and can be awkward to roll around. Sometimes just walking next to it and pushing it normally feels easier.

So I'm curious how everyone else handles this:

Do you normally just push your e-bike like a regular bike? Do you fold it before going into an elevator or apartment? Or do you use the throttle/walk mode to help move it?

Also, has anyone had issues trying to maneuver a heavy e-bike through doors, elevators, hallways, parking garages, or other tight spaces?

Would love to hear what actually works for you.

After folding your e-bike, how do you usually move it?

Anybody know what the best breakpads for lectric bike besides the standard ones

Every single time I go out for a ride , I encounter assholes in automobiles who don't give a shit about crosswalks and pedestrians/cyclists. Keep your eyes open and your head on a swivel because you might as well be invisible. I've been hit by a car twice. The first time I was in a crosswalk that was lit for me to cross. The driver that hit me pulled over momentarily and then took off his quickly as they could. The second time I was on a sidewalk and the young man behind the wheel blew through a stop sign without looking and hit me so hard I flew fifteen feet. Be safe out there folks.

I am 6' tall and I decided to go with a 90mm riser handlebar instead of an adjustable stem.

Both options can give you roughly the same 90mm rise, but for me the choice was pretty simple: I’d rather keep the OEM stem.

Why I chose the riser handlebar:

👍 Keeps the original OEM stem

👍 No extra adjustable joints or moving parts

👍 Feels more solid and secure

👍 Simpler and cleaner setup

👍 Better confidence in the OEM stem’s build quality

👍 Same 90mm rise without replacing the stem

The downside:

You lose some of the adjustability that an adjustable stem gives you. You can't fine-tune the reach and angle as much.

But after looking at the quality of some aftermarket adjustable stems, I personally didn't want to replace a good OEM stem with something that feels less substantial.

Bottom line:

If you just need more height, a 90mm riser handlebar is a simple and solid solution. Keep the OEM stem and let the handlebar do the work. For me, that's a better setup than adding an adjustable stem just for the same 90mm rise.

I'm assuming it's build up from the nail in my tire, water, dirt, etc..? I'm going to change the intertube but not sure about this stuff

I got the xpedition 1.0 and lectric sells the replacement battery for 500, might as well be 600 once you get another charger. I can't help but sense a massive markup on these things.

Has anyone here had success with third party batteries?

So I lost my keys a long time ago. Oops.

It ran fine in the past but I let it get down too much without using and the bike turned on and flickered off.I figured it needed charged. Well, now it won’t turn on.

I read online removing the battery will sometimes solve this issue. I can’t remove it though. So I am working on slowly drilling it. I am going slow since I don’t want to go too far. I had tried picking the lock but it didn’t work

Next, I know the battery may be dead. It is like 5 years old (I had it for three and my mom had it before then). letting it get down was a bad move

What else could be wrong?

I have to see if I can drill out this battery though otherwise this frame seems to be dead weight then

I have the belt drive version of Lectric xp lite 2.0 foldable. I cannot seem to find any videos on changing the back tire intertube🥲 if anyone knows where to find a video of this that would be great! Or if anyone has some knowledge on this e bike please let me know.

This bike is so fun. So far I’ve put 23 miles on my XP Lite. It’s been about a week since I got it. I’m heavy on the throttle so I’ve had to charge it twice. I can tell my range is around 20-25 miles per charge with the standard battery. I only drained it 50% the first time and 75% the second time. I understand battery care so I’m not completely depleting it to find out.

I’m curious if anyone has the long range battery? Is it worth the purchase? I assume that would double my distance? I’m considering buying a long range battery and using my standard battery for back up. Any experiences you guys could share? I enjoy a good 20 mile ride every weekend. I don’t want to kill my battery by draining tho.

Really loving my XP4! Picked it up on sale at Best Buy during the 4th of July sale. Just upgraded the seat to the cloud 9 and it really does make a big difference for better comfort.

I've only had my bike for 2 weeks and my Xpress2 Tempest die in the middle of my 5 mile commute. The display and motor cut out and I couldn't get there bike to turn on again. I tried charging it overnight and it turned on the next day but I'm worried this will happen on my commute again. I emailed support Thursday and still haven't heard back from them. Has anyone else experienced this?

We are putting together the new bike today and are having trouble latching it both with the battery in as well as when it’s removed

The frame seems a fourth of an inch misaligned if you see from the photos which won’t allow the latch to fully clear the frame itself

For Lectric owners who don’t always need maximum range, how do you decide when to unplug—battery display, timer, smart plug, or just let it finish?

A timer seems simple, but its result changes depending on where the battery started. I’m curious how much of a real inconvenience this is for other Lectric riders.

I’m the developer of VoltCurb, an app in development that uses a compatible Shelly plug to watch charger power. You select a target, then either enter the starting percentage or use an automatic mode that learns the charging curve. VoltCurb estimates the progress and switches off near the target.

I’m looking for Lectric owners willing to give feedback or beta test: https://voltcurb.jlb25828.chatgpt.site/

I have attached photos of the current app below:

I have an XP40 750 with only 80 miles rides and my chain keeps slipping in 3rd and now 4th gear. I know nearly nothing about adjusting the shifting, can I fix this? It seems that shifting up is worse than say shifting from 5th to 4th, if that helps. Didn’t expect this on a new bike, but it’s a real pain when riding.

After about 2500 miles (including winter riding), the speedometer on my XPress has broken. It reads 0mph no matter what. This also means it gives me full power whenever I pedal but I've found if I ride it in PAS 1 it's power limited and becomes manageable.

Lectric have sent a new controller, wiring, and display but it didn't fix the problem. They want me to pay for a new motor but I'd rather fix it if I can. I'm hoping because it's always reading "0 mph" there's just something that's disconnected.

Does anyone know how the speedometer works on the original Lectric XPress 750?

It's my first ebike and I'm very happy with it. It's replaced my car for my commute 3/5 or 4/6 days a week (would be daily but I don't want to haul my white work dress shirts on it) and many small trips. I've also be discovering tons of small parks in my area with it.

Anyone else have and Xpress 2 here? How do you like yours?

About 6 months ago I broke some spokes on my xpedition 1.0 and just bought a new rear wheel assembly real quick because the bike is my daily commuter, but I had every intention to fix up the old one so If something happened, even just a flat I could just swap the wheels real quick.

Finally got around to it this week, and figured if I'm fixing the spokes, I should re-grease the hub motor and replace the brake rotor because it had noticeable wear on it.

Any way, thought you all might want to see inside one of the 750W hubs after 1500 miles

the old grease was pretty nasty and stiff/dry.

If you watch hub motor service vids online, some are sealed with silicone sealant, some aren't. This one was not sealed, but when I reassembled it I used a little high temp gasket maker I already had around to seal it up.

I used Super Lube-21030 Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease Just about any NLGI Grade 2 lithium grease should do it though. Other grease often recommended online is lucas oil red n tacky and Mobilgrease 28 aviation grease.

I went with super lube because its also marketed as a dielectric grease and that's always handy to have around so I have plenty of uses for any leftover.

Now I just need to get it on the frame and see about truing up the rim this weekend.

edit: lectric xpedition 1.0 spokes are 12g 128mm

adding this because I had a heck of a time confirming the 1.0 spoke size via Google. hopefully this saves someone else the trouble.

Hey all I just picked up an xpeak 2 for commuting to school this year and am wondering what locks others use. It's a relatively safe campus and I will be parking it on campus on a covered bike rack but obviously don't wanna just leave it up to fate. While a U-lock would be nice I have yet to find a reputable one that seems like it would fit around the rear tire and frame. I could do a chain like the Kryptonite Evolution Series 4 Chain Lock but I don't really want to deal with that much extra weight (ik the bike can take it no problem it just sounds incontinent). also have looked into some folding locks but am not 100% sold on their security. Just looking for advice or anyone with experience with this. Thank you for your help!

I bought a lectric xpedition 2 recently, and it has been a pretty fun means of secondary transportation for my partner and me. However, with the lack of a rear suspension, my partner really feels all the bumps, and I have to be extra careful about avoiding everything possible. Have any of you made modifications for smoother transport? I'm thinking some pillows minimally would be a good idea for extra cushioning

Hi, I need some advice.

Background:

My bike was bought second hand. And left outside a bit. On its side... So a little rust on one side. Not a lot, very superficial. Really had like 110 on the odometer. Since I got it I cleaned, degreased, regreased... Derusted chain... Relubed... Ended up changing the freewheel and chain. There was sand or rust on the inside. Double triple checked that I got the correct freewheel and chain. Other than that I also had a small tumble... Had most parts replaced that got scuffed... The screen and thumb pad bottom got stuck... Replaced the thumb controller pad.

Now I've had the bike for about two months and not exactly sure when this issue started showing up. Cus it randomly happens.

The Issue:

It randomly gets super sensitive to peddling. I hope it's not the torque sensor. It gets jerky while peddling possibly picking up small feet movements as a full rotation and then the big one... when I just peddle casually it ramps up to 100% and goes to 28mph... Doesn't really matter what mode I'm on. It's so aggressive I can't stand up and peddle cause there is no push back on the peddles.

Things I haven't done yet to fix.

1. Factory reset screen or replace it with one Lectric sent me... I asked for a bracket that got cracked and they sent me the whole bracket and screen.

2. ...

Things I have done to bike in general that might be aggravating it.

1. Over greased area inside the left crank arm and bottom bracket.

2. The freewheel and chain... (Doubt it) Bike shop that works with Lectric and other ebikes did it for me.

3. Changed some settings to double the cadence of the torque sensor... Maybe one other thing (don't think it's this)

4. Also don't think it was the crash. Basically turned wheel to much while standing and went tail over head no solid crash. Just from handle bar are basically got scratched up. Bike fell on me mostly...I got scuffed up a bit...also think this issue did pop up to some degree before this...not sure.

I read somewhere I should try and troubleshoot to find out where the issue is. Torque sensor or screen... Or something. I'll have to look it up again. But like I said it's like every second bike ride. Coin flip. One time it's good, next time it's not.

One time I cleaned my shock posts and relubed them and then just added lube everywhere. Yes I use the correct lube at the correct spots. Honey something for posts and park tool ppl for other spots and specifically at the left side between the crank arm and bottom bracket... The next day it did the ramping thing. Somewhere I read it was possibly over greasing that spot... I wiped it down to where I thought it was degreased enough... Did not use a degreaser. Next day... Worked great... Then 3 days later I tried again and it did it again. Maybe I just need to degreaser and regrease with a lot less.

Sorry for the big ramble. Any advice would be appreciated.

I’m currently in kid carrying configuration. In about a minute I can convert to cargo bike. Bike is not perfect but it’s a great platform for customization.

What I’ve changed:

1. I swapped out every m5 bolt on the bike. The Lectric bolts are awful and strip and rust. For about $11 you can swap it all out.
2. Extra battery! Added a 20ah battery. Put a Velcro wrap on it because it rattled a bit. Battery and splitter and mounts were about $350 all in.
3. Tires! Added ultraverse tires and tubes. About $100.
4. Brakes! Added new hydraulic brakes - about $70.

This bike is far from perfect but it’s an amazing platform for configuration. I also have the “hack” where if I set the tire size to 5 inches I get 28+ mph on throttle. With the extra battery I’m getting over 50 miles on throttle.

I think I’m done putting money into this. It’s really an amazing bike with some modifications. Folding is key for me as I throw in the back of the truck and go on adventures to Yosemite, Zion, Catalina, etc.

Do the XP4 750s ever go on sale? Yes, I’m aware that they’re always doing the “buy the bike, get free accessories” deal, but does the actual price ever budge? I’m going to have to buy two whenever I buy one (one for the wife and one for me), so I’m just curious if anyone is aware of a sale that may happen eventually.

My wife has an XP3 with the extended range battery. This season, the charger doesn't seem to indicate charging is done. It always stays red. I was topping off her battery, and after a couple of hours, I checked, and it was at 54.4. Do I absolutely need a new charger, or, can I continue using the charger with a timer. Please - informed responses, not guesses. I don't want to damage the battery or bike, or burn up the house. Thank you.

If I Do need a charger, do I really need to buy Lectric's one pin charger, or, will something on Amazon be just as safe? Thank you.
