Do you own a Lectric XP ebike?  Are you thinking of getting this electric bicycle?  Questions? 

Please leave a comment below. Also please subscribe, like and share. Thank you.

Power Loss

The video above is a follow up to my Power loss on my Lectric XP Video.

Power loss was not really the issue as the eBike did what it should, shut down if it heats up or gets overloaded.  

The power did come back on and I have been able to ride the bike since. 

Current Usage and Overload

Also in the video I did a current usage test. Planning on doing a better one in the future when the speedometer is fixed. This is something you should keep an eye on.

If you are hitting 18 and 19 on your current for a long period of time on a long hill or straight away, there is a chance you will overload and overheat the motor.

Weight

How much weight you have on the bike will be a factor as well. The more weight the harder the motor has to push and work. Lectric XP maximum rider weight is 275 lbs and maximum load on rear rack is 55 lbs for a total of 330 lbs. ( that is pretty good for an eBike at this price point. )

ODO / Speedometer not working

The real problem now is the ODO / Speedometer not working.

Lectric had me check the plug-in connection to the motor and also a white speed wire that goes to the controller hidden in the frame opposite of the battery.  (They have a fantastic tutorial video on the controller.)

Unfortunately it was not that simple. 

So they sent me a new wheel hub motor. 

And unfortunately that did not fix the problem.

Lectric Customer Service and Support 

So it looks like the controller is next. It is on the way. Lectric customer service and support has been fantastic.

That makes me very happy because that is the downfall of most companies.

They say a happy customer will tell a couple people about the experience. An unhappy customer will tell at least ten people and then some.

Love Love Love the Bike

Still love the bike and believe in the company and recommend it.  I guess I’m one of the unlucky ones with all the new bikes going out.  When you send out a lot of bikes there is going to be things that come up. And so far they have handled it very well.

On the plus side if you are ordering or just got your bike, you will have all next summer to ride under warranty.

I am sure this bike will get revisions and keep getting better and better. For me I always hated getting anything “techy” when they first come out.

Seems there are always bugs that come up. Some of it is just an update of software. Others it is a hardware problem.

Stay tuned as we work on getting this ODO / speedometer problem fix.

Your support is very much appreciated!

The REAL Fun part is accessorizing and personalizing your eBike.  Here is what I use.

HEADLIGHT, HORN, TAIL-LIGHT and SOLAR POWER-BANK

I found a cool solar rechargeable BRIGHT head light that acts as a battery bank as well. It also comes with a rear light with 4 mode functions. Also has a very loud horn. A must! It has come in very handy so far.

SEATS – More padded comfortable bike seats.

Lectric XP does have some nice padding to it. I was sore the first couple days but I think that would have happen with any seat. After that it was fine. But I decided to try one of the below and see if it makes a big difference.
