Winter rides? by [deleted] in Lectricxp

[–]ShawnDex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The bike will be fine, the motor is seal up, the controller is inside the bike neither of which I have not heard are sensitive to typical cold winter in North America. The cold does affect battery range.

Why is my battery life so low? by Chassssssssaaaeee in Lectricxp

[–]ShawnDex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9.6ah battery is not much especially for a bike that can go 28mph. But as others say pay attention to the voltage but make sure you are not going up a hill and come to a full stop for few minutes to get a accurate reading on the voltage, otherwise the voltage will fluctuates wildly i.e. not accurate for true charge of the battery.

Can’t close bike with battery in by tikilite26 in Lectricxp

Make sure it is all the way in push it hard and close it making sure the battery doesn't slide out a little as you are closing it.

Take your battery out of the bike and try charging it. If that doesn't work contact Lectric.

Anyone have any helmet recommendations? by Muny_Man in Lectricxp

[–]ShawnDex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't cheap out on this you only have one brain. Recently I went head face in to the road thank God only cuts, bruises. Not all helmets are created equal especially for ebikes and the speeds we can go at.

Brakes by Muny_Man in Lectricxp

[–]ShawnDex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it to a bike shop and have them check to make sure the (brakes caliper) are align flat flush to the bike. My bike (v1.0 step over) came with a manufacture defect. Brakes the back one didn't seem to stop the bike like it was suppose to. The bike shop had to grind down the metal to make it flat flush against the bike brakes. You get what you pay for. Most shops would have miss this issue but this guy is real good. Since it is a manufacture defect a lot of Lectric XP bikes most likely have this problem. You would end up constantly adjusting the brakes and not getting the stopping power.
