The XPEdition 2.0 One-Thousand Milestone Crash and Burn!

The XPEdition 2.0 One-Thousand Milestone Crash and Burn!

I came out of Home Depot to put the 6 4ft 2x4's in my Orbiter(tm) trunk and noticed that my tail light was on. And then my headlight, too. Uh, OK... that's kinda odd considering the bike isn't even turned on. I turned on the display and noticed that the odometer said 1,000 miles. I figured maybe the bike was celebrating its 1,000 milestone with this display of lights, said 'fuggit' and rode almost all the way home.

I was turning the very last street corner, and in mid turn my kickstand dropped off the bottom of the bike. I ran over it with the back tire and the bike slid out on the kickstand losing traction and I dumped the bike (and the 2x4's), busting the headlight and my knee.

Put everything back in the trunk and limped the last 100 yards home.

I put the kickstand back on the next morning (it appears they expected it to fall off the way it was designed) and called Lectric about the headlight and tail light always being on - you have to remove the batteries to turn them off. I explained the problem in about 5 seconds and without any, "try this and that" they just said they're sending me a new display, button pad, and controller which I'll need to replace. I told them to throw in some long-range batteries, too, but I don't think I was very convincing.

Happy 1,000 ! Yeah! Rah Rah! <sigh> What crapped out on your XPE2 first, and on what mile?

At what voltage(*) are you out of gas on your XP2?

Mines 45.1V 3ith both batteries installed. And there were indicators other than the display that I was out of gas at 45.2V.

Other Lectirc bike say they don't run out of gas until 42 or 43V.

(*) Volts are the much better indicator of power left in your batteries. Ignore that deceptive colored bar graph on the dispaly - it'll burn you. I haven't even looked tat that since since mile #200. Volts are displayed on the XP2's third screen: Press the center button two more times when the bike is powered on in the default state.

Dear Vine Voices,

This is a quick message to remind you that using robots (“bots”), scripts, or other similar automation tools to automatically select/order Vine items violates Amazon’s Conditions of Use and may result in your Vine membership being terminated.

Thank you for your cooperation The Vine Team


Aren't all their messages "Quick" and unenforced - as if they're bluffing? OTOH, perhaps they invited all these extra Viners in anticipation of nuking 80% of everyone to weed out the resellers, AI reviewers, and $0ETV vultures. It would leave a much better crop of Viners who are now on firm, unambiguous notice.
