My understanding is that valid parameter value changes should persist once saved. I prefer for my throttle to always provide max speed when engaged. I am able to change P22 = 2 (from zero), which seems to do the trick, but I can’t seem to get that value to persist (save between power cycles). Am I mistaken that valid parameter changes can be saved to non-volatile memory?

Here’s what I’m doing:

1. Power on display
2. Hold + & - buttons until P1 shows
3. Tap power button until P22 shows
4. Tap + key until new value is 2
5. ?

My throttle will then work the way I want it to but only until I power off the bike. When I turn it back on, P22=0 again.

I’ve tried every combo of + - on/off I can think of for step 5, but can’t get that value to stick.

What am I missing?

TIA

On a whim, I bought an e-bike to do DoorDash with so that I could go hard building a savings… I join the sub today and it seems they announced the Xpress 2 yesterday??

I lucked out and bought it without realizing it was just announced!

Question is, are they already being produced? Haven’t gotten any word on shipping and id like to get to work to pay this off 😅

Thanks in advance!

Is it safe to bring an ebike into an elevator? I live on the third floor so carrying upstairs isn’t feasible. I’m planning on getting a lectric xp 3.0

Finally purchasing a Lectric bike after using my friend's XP Lite2 pretty frequently for a year. She doesn't use it often so she liked that it was being run, and of course I take meticulous care of it, but it's definitely time to stop borrowing hers and get my own!

I live on an island with some pretty steep hills (and a few mountains, but I don't drive them often) and have never had issues with battery range on the XP Lite2. I plan to use the bike as my main vehicle in spring/summer/autumn (too rainy in the winter), so I'm considering the XPedition2 to handle a little more cargo and even my partner on the back sometimes (we're within the total payload capacity with our weights combined and the individual front/back payload capacities with our individual weights).

I'm just wondering whether the bike is worth it without the dual/long range battery? I don't quite have the funds for the upgrade right now, even with the memorial day sale on. If I had a heavy load or a passenger on the back, with the standard, singular battery, what kind of mileage can I expect with a lot of hills?

I'd also like to buy the dog cart to pull behind me, for my 45 pound standard poodle.

Debating whether I should just go with the XP Lite2 and use my car when I have stuff to haul or a passenger, but I'm also imagining camping trips with my partner and how fun it would be to explore a little bit on the bike together, that sort of thing.

EDIT: I won't be attempting to haul a passenger and a dog at the same time, to clarify : )

I ordered my Xpress a week ago and just got it yesterday, assembled it, and then today they announce the Xpress2…..I really wish I had known it was coming 🤬

Any way I can switch the bike out for the Xpress2?

Lean N' Green ✅️ New Lectric Xpress2 City Ebike

the controller on my xp4 just died on me and its my primary mode of transport. if anyone knows of a 3rd party controller or a way to gwt a replacement let me know. lectric support ghosted me

Bought a XP4 long range maybe a month ago. I have been putting in the miles on it - roughly 20 miles every other day. I plan to do my first 40-50 mile ride soon. The brakes already squeal a bit, so will be cleaning it with isopropyl alcohol

What other checks and maintenance should i be doing to the bike? Ant other tips? This will mostly paved trail riding

I know this is all my fault, and I also know I can find out for sure by just testing my battery. That said, the short version is that I have an XP Lite that has sat in storage unused for two years. The battery has been stored separately and has not been touched for that entire time.

I'm at a point where I will be using an ebike more regularly and am wondering if it's worth buying a new battery for my Lite or if I should upgrade to a new model. Just curious if anyone has ever been able to use their battery after being neglected like mine for so long. I will note that the battery has been kept indoors in dry, room temperature, but I know that isn't the main factor.

i got the xp4, but im short "5'4" and my feet barely reach the ground, and because of that its hard to also pedal, when i try my shins either get destroyed, or i fall off the bike because i have to lean to one side just to use the lower pedal. i have the stock suspension post and the comfort seat, is there a way to lower the height?
if there is also no way to lower the height, how can i make the bike go 30mph on throttle only, i bought the bike for its advertised 30mph, but i can only go 20 because of my height limiting my pedal assistance.

I was looking for some sort of solution, maybe a modular system, that would allow me to quickly switch seating between my 2-year-old passenger and my wife. Oddly, couldn't find anything, so here is what I did.

Forget the overpriced Thule Yepp at $240. Instead, get a Bellelli Pepe for half the price. It works for kids up to 50 lb and attaches into a mountain that goes around the seat post. Then, get a $40 seat off of Amazon and make up mounts like this https://m.facebook.com/groups/lectricebikesowners/permalink/4084093105196581/?mibextid=Nif5oz

The baby seat fits right over the adult passenger seat. When I want the wife to go along, I just take the baby seat off in 10 seconds and I'm done!

Has anyone replaced the nylon gears or the planetary gear assembly in the motor of an XP Lite 1.0? If so, what did you buy? Looking to replace stripped nylon gears. While I have not reached out to Lectric I am guessing they do not provide anything other than the total wheel/motor assembly. Thanks.
