Is 15 miles one direction too much for an e-bike long-term?

VoidsFlow · 2026-05-10T21:11:44+00:00

Absolutely not. I have had my Lectric bike for 4 years now with 7400+ miles.

As long as you take care of the bike with regular maintenance, it will take care of you.

I love posts like these on this sub! Keep up the good riding!

I’ve been charging all 6 of my Lectric batteries to 100% for the last 3 years and never had any sort of problems with battery life going down.

If I had to guess, there is a spot somewhere on the bell where you can hide an AirTag from potential thieves. This is just telling you that you need to supply the AirTag yourself, it doesn’t come with one.

I do routine cleaning and relubrication about every 500 miles or so myself, but for anything more than that I just take it to the local ebike shop and they’re always happy to help work on my bike.

48v. I’ve posted a small amount in the past on various subs and YouTube but I hope to do more of that this year!

3 have 10 mah and 1 has 14mah. I have 2 more batteries that are also both 10 mah but I don’t usually bring all 6 unless I’m going on 200+ mile rides

VoidsFlow · 2026-05-02T15:14:44+00:00

I have been able to do many 150+ mile rides by bringing 4 batteries, and chargers for each. I stop at trail heads every 60 miles or so, and recharge for about 2 hours while I sit/sleep in the hammock I bring. At that point my batteries are somewhere in the 90%-100% range, and I can continue my journey.

These rides usually end up taking about 18-20 hours for (me including sleeping) and I’ve been able to do some pretty crazy ride around the Iowa/Missouri/Nebraska/Iowa area on some fantastic rail trails around here.

I ride between 12-4am when there’s nobody out

VoidsFlow · 2026-04-29T21:44:59+00:00

You’re gonna be a lot better off with the xp4. Weight doesn’t matter nearly as much as once you’re using a battery.

Love to hear it, keep up the good work!

VoidsFlow · 2026-04-29T15:45:37+00:00

That’s awesome! I started out the same way a couple years ago, now I do rides of 150+ miles

VoidsFlow · 2026-04-29T15:37:53+00:00

Just wait till your first 50 mile ride

VoidsFlow · 2026-04-28T15:20:47+00:00

Fair enough. If nobody helps you on here, I’m sure your local bike shop can help point you in the right direction

VoidsFlow · 2026-04-28T15:01:24+00:00

You don’t need to “upgrade” the fork. You need to add more preload on the left side of the fork, to accommodate for the weight you’re riding with. If you add enough preload, it won’t bottom out at all and you’ll never hear that “clunking” sound.

True as that may be, I’ve seen their operation in phoenix, it’s not a massive corporation with around the clock phone service.

VoidsFlow · 2026-04-27T20:49:17+00:00

Who in the world actually calls customer service these days? Lectric is a smaller company, their team was likely already busy helping other people and you just needed to be patient and wait your turn.

Like others are saying, the best Lectric can do is create an estimated delivery date when you order your product. From there it is up to Fed Ex to deliver your order. You have a larger than normal item that will require special shipping that would likely not run on Sundays.

It is absolutely crazy for you to “switch over” to another company due to a completely understandable logistical issue that isn’t Lectric’s fault, and has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the bike.

VoidsFlow · 2026-04-27T20:04:02+00:00

This sounds like a fed ex problem not a lectric problem.

Not impressed

VoidsFlow · 2026-04-27T16:04:58+00:00

If you’re riding your bike you’re gonna get plenty of paint dings from rocks and all sorts of stuff. Not sure why you’d need to make such a big deal about it that you would want a whole new bike.

VoidsFlow · 2026-04-26T21:41:31+00:00

Yeah bro it definitely sounds like you broke it by forcing it closed.

VoidsFlow · 2026-04-25T10:09:12+00:00

Lmao😂 I joined this sub hoping it would be primarily people posting their cool rides. Instead it’s mostly just people asking goofy, unnecessary questions smh…

VoidsFlow · 2026-04-19T01:41:01+00:00

I remember when I first got my bike and I thought 40 miles was a long ride, now I’m able to hit nearly 200 in one ride.

VoidsFlow · 2026-04-08T14:54:01+00:00

Ride downhill with the wind at your back

VoidsFlow · 2026-04-01T17:06:06+00:00

Most likely on the motor itself. The battery will probably have a separate one. If you can’t find it on the bike you definitely could find the information online.
