I ordered the bike on July 24th..... I got it today. It's flawless.. expert packing, no scratches, the battery was fully charged.. perfect! Just put air in the tires and ZIP! At 63.. I have new roads to explore.. thanks for your outstanding videos.
Your video was right on about the way to turn on these bikes. My girlfriend was having a problem forgetting to stop peddling when turning. After watching this she's going to be Pro
I ordered my lectric bike and was extremely impressed on how quickly it arrived- within 10 days- it was wrapped tight and it was in perfect condition- 👍👏
I waited 3 months. Almost 4.I ordered JUl 2018, it finally came October 2018. Glad to see that has improved. I was what yu would call a legasy owner I guess. I was in the first group of owners.
If you pull the brake lever it will stop the motor from activating in the turn. Just pull it enough to release the power. That is what I do and it works great.
Great tips. I am a senior who just bought a Lectric for my wife and I. The information covered in this video is invaluable to get a good start for us newbies
The LECTRIC has enough unique handling and power characteristics (surprises) that I’d be a little hesitant to let anyone just jump on it and take off. The combination of the short handlebar, 4” x 20” knobbies, bike weight, and electric propulsion make it necessary to get the feel of the bike in a safe environment before hitting the trails. The engineers put a lot of thought into how to administer the electric power. It has things like walk mode and cruise control, along with a throttle - but the Pedal Assist function (PAS) is the most interesting. There are 5 of them, with 4 and 5 being used only for 20+ And 24+ mph. But 1, 2, and 3 are what get used most often. 1 helps you maintain 8 mph, 2 helps with 12 mph, and 3 helps maintain 16 mph. The idea is that as long as you’re pedaling, then PAS will help you maintain that PAS’s mph.
Just ordered mine 2 days ago and your helpful insight on instruction and do’s and don’ts are very helpful for first time e-bike owners also your suggestions for upgrades are very helpful. I ordered a white one and will plan to upgrade my seat eventually. Thank you sir for your helpful tips and look forward to having a safe and fun time with my bike.
Usually if I take turns, specifically tight ones, I press on one brake slightly because the motor won't engage with the brake pressed. Also a lot of companies are trying to copy this bike design....but this company was first to give people a complete bike for decent price owned mine about a year now.
That’s what I usually do too but sometimes you forget. I ran into a curb the other day trying to film something not paying attention and turned the pedals too far LOL.
@@JeremiahMcintosh lol...kinda a habit now for me. The brakes are the truth, they will stop you on a dime, but also require little pressure to make those tight turns. Save myself from running into many joggers usually at intersections. Good videos....I will be watching. Peace.
Thanks for helping us out with getting started on our new E Bike!!! At 71 years, I just ordered my first E Bike. I bought the black step-thru, with comfort package and got the cargo package… not sure I’ll use it, but I got the up graded front headlight..I’ll be checking out more of your instructional videos as I wait for delivery!

I haven’t seen any videos that talk about how to ride the bike and go through the gears and display modes. This will be really important as I have never actually had a bike with a different speeds
When you're pedaling too much shift to a higher gear, when it's too hard to pedal shift to a lower gear, it's as simple as that! You'll want to start out no higher than pas 3, once you're used to how the bike reacts in the various modes, it will start to become second nature to you. Pas 0 is just a bike with seven gears, (a fairly heavy 65 lb bike!), pas 1 gets you to 7 mph with little effort, Pas 2 - 10mph, pas 3 - 15, pas 4 about 17mph, and pas 5, about 20 mph, unless you set speed to max, then it's about 26.5 - 28 mph.
Jeremiah, Received my bike yesterday, and I must say, your videos are the best. I ordered it 11/7/22, and it was delivered 11/17/22. 10 days total. I ordered the XP 3.0 sweet. Thanks for taking the time.
Definitely check your brakes. I didn't and they worked but I did notice after a few months they started getting weaker. I adjusted them at the handlebars several times. I got a flat tire about 10 months into owning the bike. I purchased a tube from Amazon and took the bike to a bike shop. I had them replace the tube and adjust the brakes. When I got it back, those brakes were adjusted *properly* and had I applied as much force as before, I would have went over the handlebars. Those brakes were *tight!*
Thanks for all the tips Jeremiah. Received my black XP 6 days ago. Took about one week for delivery which I thought was slow since I only live 90 miles from Phoenix AZ. It came with the panniers which surprised me. Perhaps it was because I emailed them about the slow shipping. It shipped the day after my email and I got in 1 day after fedex got it. I love the bike!
My husband and I just ordered ours a week ago. Wow, 8 weeks, we are so impatient to get them. Just can't wait. We are watching videos daily in preparation and your videos are really informational. Thank you
Hi Jeremiah, just got my wife’s 2.0 step through and I found an easy way to fold and unfold the bike. Put a plastic coffee can under the stand by the sprocket and pivot the front wheel around. This gives you easy access to the battery and keys without needing three hands. Less chance of dropping the battery. You won’t have to hold up the bike. Thanks since you’re on TH-cam can you post it for older people like myself. Thanks , Boston Mike. Thanks for all your great information on the lectric xp
Ordered the black one on May 1st, just got a update, should be shipped around the 7th of June 🤸. Thanks for all your help and suggestions. Your one of the reasons why I picked the Lectricxp! Stay safe.
I have two Lectric XP'S ordered that are due in July 2020. Your videos along with several other bloggers with positive reviews of this bike are why I decided to get them. So thanks for the incredibly helpful videos that have provided so much 'clarity' in helping make a decision. Thanks mate!
We ordered 2 STs, one week ago. Husband’s black one came in five days. My white one will hopefully be here today which is seven days. Thank you for this video!
This video as well as the others that you shared on the Lectric XP are very informative and helpful. I ordered mine on May 5th, and would get the bike by June 20th. I am really excited. I have been cycling to my office in wake of pandemic(I used to take bus before, and it might be risky now, to take public transport). I don't know how to drive a car and having an e-bike would be a boon to me. After going through all the videos, I believe I would be better off as compared to my manual bike, especially on the hilly routes of San Diego. Thank you so much!
Just email or call them for an update. Lectric is a very popular bike and they probably ship hundreds if not thousands monthly. Supply and demand I’m sure is slowing the wait time down but I would definitely contact them for an update.
@@JeremiahMcintosh Then they need to be honest and tell people when they will receive the bike and don’t take the money until they have the bike to ship.
Thanks Jeremiah for doing this video it's so critical and necessary for safety and to make sure the bike is in optimal shape to get the most out of it and to prevent any damage that can be caused. Most people are not aware that any bike received new is not ready out of the box to just jump on it and ride without adjustments made to bring it up to par especially with the brakes in fine tuning them and cleaning any residue like you mentioned. I was going to get a Lectric after much research but the wait time was going to be too long and I ended up getting a different kind that was in stock and shipped within a week of ordering so I can have the most time to ride and enjoy it for the summer while the weather is still good. I was going to order the black color. I still may get one for the folding capability when needed since the one I got doesn't fold and is more of a mountain ebike that has front fork suspension. Thanks again and please keep up the great ebike videos!
@@JeremiahMcintosh I got the 2020 Nakto Super Cruiser ebike. I've had it for a couple weeks and I just needed to attach the front wheel, seat and handle bars. It did need some adjustments especially with the brakes and I really like it so far. It's pretty fast and heavy duty and the front suspension fork is great!
I ordered mines in black I have already ordered a bunch of accessories from seat post the seat itself a helmet with lights and turn singles. I live in the city so I definitely want too be seen. Even my seat has rear lights. Before I go and get the rear sprocket I'm going to want to see what it is like just as is. Let me say this I have watched alot of TH-cam information on this bike but you have been the most informed and you have experience and explain your work to the best of your ability. Hands down you are definitely a goto. Much Respect bro 💪.
You always do the best videos Jeremiah! This one is great for all of us that are still waiting for our bikes. I have bookmarked it so I can watch it again in a few weeks when I hopefully get my bike! 👍🏽
I have been watching a lot of videos of people on You Tube talking about this XP bike. Your presentations are the best so far. It's a shame Lectric is not paying you as their spokesperson. I see you are very proud and happy that you own one. I have to wait to see if this e bike is legal in my area. Overall thank you for sharing this on You Tube.
Well Money Isn't An Issue Here. That's EXACTLY WHY We come to TH-cam for REAL People to People's Insights, Opinions, Thoughts, Questions, Concerns, Comments, & Advice👍 ...But Yeah He Is EARNING HIS Subs.!😋 I know I hit the "Sub." Button JUST BECAUSE This Video Was SO Informative & Well Thought Out & Well Spoken👍 & NOT "Gimmicky" Or ANNOYING❕Lol😝😁
I been waiting 1 month and a week as of today, 5/22/20. I did get a email today giving me a tracking Number. Finally I should be getting it in the next 7 days. I am over the mood. I chose the white bike. Thank you for the video, it will be help.
Thanks for the info. I heard things I haven't heard anywhere else, and I've watched quite a few videos. My wife and I ordered our bikes about two weeks ago and looking forward to our first ride. We're full time RVers and it's nice having something that will fold into a smaller package. Both bikes are white and one is a step thru. Thanks again!
We're geting our bikes the 2.0 step through on Monday. I really liked your tips on the battery removal and the round felt pads. All your tips were very helpful.
Bought two XP models a year ago. 1400+ miles between the two of them, 1250 on mine. Tried $4250 bikes with less power. The display needs a waterproof cover, one filled with water Riding in the rain and needed replacement at 973 miles. A plastic bag and zip ties can prevent that. One power supply replacement under warranty. Two flats. A brake rotor truing tool essential. I put a zoom suspension seatpost on both, now a Suntour NCX on mine. It is a better upgrade. I put crankbrothers double shot pedals on mine, clip in on one side, flat on the other. They are awesome on 1-2 hour rides. Keep up the great videos!! Very informative!
Just got mine today! Ordered it February 4! My friend picked it up since I was at work off my porch, I’m going to get it tomorrow to put it together and thank you for the helpful hints and insights that make this thing roll. I’m very excited it will be my first one but I’ve been biking for quite a long time. I know it will be different and that’s a good thing. I’ll be checking out more of your videos, Thanks for doing what you do.I got a white one!
Still waiting for my ebikes my wife and I both ordered white Lectric XP . Just like a little kid waiting for Christmas hopping it will come. We are both in our 70s,
Thanks for the info. That’s very important information that everyone should know. That really helps folks that have just got into eBikes, especially the Lectric. It’s a nice entry level model with a great price!
I totally agree not to use peddle assist when turning shapely, I turned from stationary with ped-ass on and I almost fell off, so always have ped-ass mode off and move on a turn using your own peddling power. It’s like having someone behind you, giving you a push as you turn which is not good.
We have had two since October. Ours arrived in good shape. Like you said the brakes needed adjustment. The derailer also needed adjustment. There are a lot of youtube videos on how to do this.
Jeremiah, you have done so much for this company that the least they could you is send you another one for the wife. BTW I sold mine and got a step thru from another brand. I found it too hard to mount and dismount at my age, I actually fell down twice and I have bad hips, can't take a chance of getting hurt at age 67
I agree! I have a lot of time invested in making these videos but I do it to help out other people. I recently asked them if they had an affiliate program and they said no😩. I’ve been looking for my next bike for future videos to do some comparisons. Maybe Juiced bikes, Rad Runner Plus , Rattan Fat Bear, Eahora X7...who knows I’m a little limited on cash but I would love for them to send me their new step through!
@@JeremiahMcintosh If I were a bike manufacturer, I would surely send you a free bike for you to test out, you are very thorough and fair in your testing plus the publicity helps make sales.
@@Amy-fu1tp I got the Veego Semi fat for $1000 it's a step thru and lighter than the Lectric XP with a lower seating position as well. For ,me it has enough range and power, I am not racing anyone.
Omg I have been trying to figure out how to change my battery for ever and I realize I had forgotten to unlock didn’t even know it had a lock feature to begin with thankyou
Good tips thanks, I ordered my bike April 20th and just recently received email saying the May Pre-Order bikes are now shipping and all May bikes should be sent by the end of the month, but no date yet for shipment info on my bike. I ordered the Black one and have already got my accessories for it.
I have had my 2.0 for a week, and gone on three rides. It is great!!! A little cold for 20mph in December, but I can get warmer face and head coverings for that. ;-)
My Brother's REALLY DOES! Which Is COOL! & WAYyyy Better for The Environment/Mother Earth🌎🌈☮🙏 But I LOVE My LECTRIC For the fact that its Compacting with the breaking down and Folding innovation for City Apartment Living, & Taking With To Travel to different Places to Explore, Experience, & Ride! Cause I Live In Utah! Which Is AWESOME👍👍🙌👐 A Dream Come True #4D
Thanks for all great information through your amazing videos Jeremiah!... you're doing a great job!.. I'm sixty yo with back, knee and hip problems, my step through will arrive in September according to lectric...can't wait!
Jeremiah… Just ordered my bike yesterday. I have been watching your videos and its really good to see all inputs about it. My new black Lectric 2.0 is coming soon! I hope the battery will be a good brand and not a generic one. I’m thinking to call before they ship it. Let’s see. I’m planning to do a commute to work every other day. 19 miles one way! Let’s see how many trips I can put on this one : ) I don’t want to buy another car! While companies are calling employees to be in office i think this is a great option. Studying bike trails as well. I need to master the maps to fine the best options! Again thanks so much for all the time and effort you put on this videos. 🎉
I ordered mine May 9 in black. I had emailed support for some other questions and they said based on when I ordered, my bike should be delivered around mid June. It's only been 2 weeks and it feels like forever! Can't wait.
From what I have been hearing... The wait time is just about a month and a half. They also told me a month when I asked them, so not too far off the estimate.
@@MrTeachYa They must be getting them out faster. I got the first bike a little over a week ago, the second bike came in last Monday. I ordered mine almost a month earlier than you. Both showed up in good condition, the black one had a very small scratch in it, with a stripped screw that held the bike rack on, the white one was flawless. Real happy with them.
Fantastic video tutorial on a bunch of stuff not mentioned by others. Thank you so much for posting this! Riding mine in the San Juan islands currently.
I just ordered the white step through on August 25th. I won’t receive it until later September or early October. Your videos help me prepare for it. Thank you. I’m so excited. My friend already has her ebike. Not a LECTRIC. I’m glad I waited and found out about the LECTRIC xp. Thank you again.
Loved seeing the video that your wife did. Your son is so cute! His little legs go so fast! Hoping one day I can ride as many miles as he can ride. Thanks for the felt pad on the battery tip, also. I’ll watch this one again when my bike arrives. Such an inspiring family. Thank you all. PS. That old building was really scary. All the drawing on the walls. I was glad no one popped out on y’all. So scary. Don’t go back there.
Ordered my XP 3.0 on Monday Jan 30, received it Saturday Feb 4....excellent service ! Had a question that Sat afternoon, called and received help immediately....again, excellent service Will let you know how I progress with the bike...I'm new to ebikes so bear with me as I learn. Dusty. 😎
I bought mine May 4th and here is the update they gave me. Hope it helps >> You will be pleased to learn that barring unforeseen circumstances we expect to begin shipping our June bikes on June 2. We expect all June bikes will be sent by June 20
Ordered 2 one a step through. Getting step through Saturday irdered Monday. Glad I watched this video giving me valuable info on what to look for. Thank you. The step over I put on 24 hour hold thinking I wanted the Xpremium, decided to get the 3.0,,,so it is also coming just not Saturday. Thanks again for this video.
Alex mckinney I got mine the same date. I am still waiting for a tracker number email from Lectric. This morning, I went to my old email confirmation. Click on view order. Hopefully, yours will have the FedEx tracking number. Mine arrived in 4 days. I can’t wait.
Jeremiah, thank you for all these interesting and informative videos. The information provided and reading an on line copy of the owners manual gave me a big head start and greatly reduced the learning curve of owning, maintaining and riding an electric bike. Received my step through style XP last week and was able to take several short rides weather permitting. Living in the north east this early in the spring nighttime temperatures drop into the 20's and I was concerned about the minimum storage temperature of the lithium ion battery. No mention of it in the owners manual so did a quick search and found this information: Store the battery at temperatures between 5 °C and 20 °C (41 °F and 68 °F). NOTE. The battery self-discharges during storage. Higher temperatures (above 20 °C or 68 °F) reduce the battery storage life. Perhaps this could be added to your list of must know tips. Thanks
I bought the white, step through. I’ve been waiting about a week. I just received notice that some, or all , of it will be shipped within a few days. I’m over the moon!
Just unboxed mine. Took almost two weeks to get here and display was smashed in transit. Called and they're sending a replacement display. The rep said it was easy to replace, so we'll see. Great tips in this video, especially cleaning brake rotors.
Yeh, good tips. One I could say on my new 3.0, my rear tire was rubbing something or other with every rotation, I found that they bolted it on kinda wobbly...readjusted it when mounting the foot pegs for passenger . Another one, I needed to mess with my derailleur set screws a little bit to get it to shift and function best as able for the budget Shimano setup. But man, this bike rocks!...although wish it had an 8th gear.
Thank you peaceful Prepper me and my son were wondering the same thing! The nature of TH-cam I guess or someone just doesn’t like me? Sometimes I get some nasty comments as well and it makes me wonder why? The video I just posted got a dislike also. Oh well you can’t please everyone😞
Spot on, Jeremiah, about peddling in assist mode while turning. Came close a couple of times while turning in restricted places ie; pedestrian railway crossings, etc., in power mode 1. I ride a Ryder, "Fatty" Folding Ebike, 48V 250w (Not legal in my country to have/ride the 500w bike.) which has plenty of power for me. Have achieved a comfortable 80klm's in pedal assist mode. Many thanks for your helpful tips.
SO TRUE! I am always paranoid about letting smeone ride that has never been on one. When turning around, in the middle of the rode, DO NOT LET PEDALS MOVE AT ALL!! You will crash into curb and bust your ass maybe. Its not a defect. They all are like this. Just be careful. SOmetimes I even bump it down to PAS Zero.
Just got the 3.0 yesterday..noticed when in gear 7, the chain was in #6 sprocket, thought out of adjustment, but when watching this video, sure 'nuff, the derailer guard was preventing it from going into the #7 sprocket!! THANKS!!
Purchased mine on January 31 received it February 10th. Only thing I have a problem with is the charging port plug doesn't want to stay in. Other than that it's great. I love it. Best purchase I've ever made.
THANK YOU! I have only 22 miles on my new ST 2.0. My battery was down to 42V so I tried to remove it to charge and could not get it out if the bike. Found this video and figured it out. I had not popped out the charging plug and it was wedged in there. All good now!!👍🏻 Michele
Ordered two on the 8th of April and received the free light,lock phone holder in four days still waiting on bikes. Ordered two black xp premium 3.0 learning a lot from you
Ordered mine 3/5/20. They tried to send it out with FedEx 5/7 and after a week FedEx still wouldn't take it. So they switched it to UPS on 5/14. Then it finally got picked up on 5/21. The delivery should come on 5/26. I have a white one coming. Already have a Bikearoo seat waiting for it.
I ordered a black XP Step-Thru this week and am watching as many videos as possible while I look forward to the projected November delivery. Your XP-related videos are very informative. Thanks.
I ordered the bike on July 24th..... I got it today. It's flawless.. expert packing, no scratches, the battery was fully charged.. perfect! Just put air in the tires and ZIP! At 63.. I have new roads to explore.. thanks for your outstanding videos.
Awesome! Glad you are enjoying it!
Ah, the legendary 1.0 that started it all. I still have one of these beasts, and I LOVE it!
Still have mine as well!
I've had my lectric xp for a year now with over 800 miles and I love it! Worth getting
How's the battery doing?
So far no problems at all. The battery is holding up fine.
have you ever had your lock that folds the bike pop open while your riding?
No I have not and I check it before every ride.
Your video was right on about the way to turn on these bikes. My girlfriend was having a problem forgetting to stop peddling when turning. After watching this she's going to be Pro

If you pull the brake lever it will stop the motor from activating in the turn. Just pull it enough to release the power. That is what I do and it works great.

Hi Jeremiah, just got my wife’s 2.0 step through and I found an easy way to fold and unfold the bike. Put a plastic coffee can under the stand by the sprocket and pivot the front wheel around.

It’s been a month now and not a word from Lectric. They took my money right away. I also ordered a Friend ebike and I got it in 4 days and love it.
Just email or call them for an update. Lectric is a very popular bike and they probably ship hundreds if not thousands monthly. Supply and demand I’m sure is slowing the wait time down but I would definitely contact them for an update.
@@JeremiahMcintosh I did they said to check back at the end of March.
@@JeremiahMcintosh Then they need to be honest and tell people when they will receive the bike and don’t take the money until they have the bike to ship.
Thanks Jeremiah for doing this video it's so critical and necessary for safety and to make sure the bike is in optimal shape to get the most out of it and to prevent any damage that can be caused. Most people are not aware that any bike received new is not ready out of the box to just jump on it and ride without adjustments made to bring it up to par especially with the brakes in fine tuning them and cleaning any residue like you mentioned. I was going to get a Lectric after much research but the wait time was going to be too long and I ended up getting a different kind that was in stock and shipped within a week of ordering so I can have the most time to ride and enjoy it for the summer while the weather is still good. I was going to order the black color. I still may get one for the folding capability when needed since the one I got doesn't fold and is more of a mountain ebike that has front fork suspension. Thanks again and please keep up the great ebike videos!
Thanks Dennis! Which bike did you end up purchasing? Keep us updated on how you like it!
@@JeremiahMcintosh I got the 2020 Nakto Super Cruiser ebike. I've had it for a couple weeks and I just needed to attach the front wheel, seat and handle bars. It did need some adjustments especially with the brakes and I really like it so far. It's pretty fast and heavy duty and the front suspension fork is great!
That’s awesome! What size motor and battery does it have?
@@JeremiahMcintosh 36V 500W Motor & 48V 12Ah Lithium Battery.
I ordered mines in black I have already ordered a bunch of accessories from seat post the seat itself a helmet with lights and turn singles. I live in the city so I definitely want too be seen. Even my seat has rear lights. Before I go and get the rear sprocket I'm going to want to see what it is like just as is. Let me say this I have watched alot of TH-cam information on this bike but you have been the most informed and you have experience and explain your work to the best of your ability. Hands down you are definitely a goto. Much Respect bro 💪.
Awesome! Thanks so much!
You always do the best videos Jeremiah! This one is great for all of us that are still waiting for our bikes. I have bookmarked it so I can watch it again in a few weeks when I hopefully get my bike! 👍🏽
Thanks Dave!
For just a second, at the start of the video, I thought you had an epic round goatee. I have rarely been more disappointed to realize I was wrong.
I have been watching a lot of videos of people on You Tube talking about this XP bike. Your presentations are the best so far. It's a shame Lectric is not paying you as their spokesperson.
I see you are very proud and happy that you own one. I have to wait to see if this e bike is legal in my area. Overall thank you for sharing this on You Tube.
My pleasure and I’m glad you find my videos helpful! Thank you.
Well Money Isn't An Issue Here. That's EXACTLY WHY We come to TH-cam for REAL People to People's Insights, Opinions, Thoughts, Questions, Concerns, Comments, & Advice👍 ...But Yeah He Is EARNING HIS Subs.!😋 I know I hit the "Sub." Button JUST BECAUSE This Video Was SO Informative & Well Thought Out & Well Spoken👍 & NOT "Gimmicky" Or ANNOYING❕Lol😝😁
I don't care for wattage limits, it's nanny state bullshit
Very Helpful. Never would have known to look for these imbalances. Probably saved me tons of stress trying to figure out these concerns. Thank you!
You’re welcome! Thanks.
I been waiting 1 month and a week as of today, 5/22/20. I did get a email today giving me a tracking Number. Finally I should be getting it in the next 7 days. I am over the mood. I chose the white bike. Thank you for the video, it will be help.
"im over the mood" !!! don't worry you'll be " over the bike" in no time and it will become a dust collector. like most all of us and our possessions.
I’m waiting for my black XP 2.0.
It’s a rare, perfect day to ride.
Thanks for your great advice!
Your welcome Jolie. Hopefully you get it soon because they are lots of fun!
Thanks for the info. I heard things I haven't heard anywhere else, and I've watched quite a few videos. My wife and I ordered our bikes about two weeks ago and looking forward to our first ride. We're full time RVers and it's nice having something that will fold into a smaller package. Both bikes are white and one is a step thru. Thanks again!
Bro you’re awesome for making this playlist.
We're geting our bikes the 2.0 step through on Monday. I really liked your tips on the battery removal and the round felt pads. All your tips were very helpful.
Thank You. Happy to help out….Enjoy the new bikes, they are so much fun!
Bought two XP models a year ago. 1400+ miles between the two of them, 1250 on mine. Tried $4250 bikes with less power. The display needs a waterproof cover, one filled with water Riding in the rain and needed replacement at 973 miles. A plastic bag and zip ties can prevent that. One power supply replacement under warranty. Two flats. A brake rotor truing tool essential. I put a zoom suspension seatpost on both, now a Suntour NCX on mine. It is a better upgrade. I put crankbrothers double shot pedals on mine, clip in on one side, flat on the other. They are awesome on 1-2 hour rides. Keep up the great videos!! Very informative!
P.S. I am 66 😁
Awesome and thank you sharing your user feedback and upgrades.
Thank you. I just bought one ,so when it arrives I'll do a complete pre-flight on the Unit. Thanks for the FYI .
Awesome! Happy riding!
My bike came today. Long 6 weeks. Your video is right on time. Thanks
Thanks for the idea about the felt pads. I noticed mine rattling around. But, not anymore.
Awesome! I’m glad they helped!
I ordered my bike on March 11th. It's in transit and expected by next Tuesday. It's white. I love your videos! Thanks for all the helpful advise.
Your welcome Steve I appreciate the feedback!
Just got mine today! Ordered it February 4! My friend picked it up since I was at work off my porch, I’m going to get it tomorrow to put it together and thank you for the helpful hints and insights that make this thing roll. I’m very excited it will be my first one but I’ve been biking for quite a long time. I know it will be different and that’s a good thing. I’ll be checking out more of your videos, Thanks for doing what you do.I got a white one!
Awesome and happy riding!
Still waiting for my ebikes my wife and I both ordered white Lectric XP . Just like a little kid waiting for Christmas hopping it will come. We are
both in our 70s,
Nice you’re going to love them. I can remember when I had to wait for mine it was about a month and a half and I felt the same way LOL!
Ordered mine 4 days ago thanks to you and all the Accessories and then some
Supposed to be delivered mid to late June
Just ordered one for my wife. Can't wait to get it and get her rolling on it. Plan on following your videos for tips and tricks.
That’s awesome David! Do you have an ebike for yourself?
Thanks for the info. That’s very important information that everyone should know. That really helps folks that have just got into eBikes, especially the Lectric. It’s a nice entry level model with a great price!
I agree! We have had so much fun on them!
Thanks for the video. I just bought a 2.0 step through for my granddaughter to use at college.
Ordered mine in April after watching your videos. Still waiting for the delivery. Btw, ordered it in Black..
hi rodney, i ordered mine on march 29 and recieved it on may 21. that should give you an idea of how long you will be waiting.
Thanks Marlins. How do you like your bike? Any pointers or suggestions you can give me? I’m still waiting.
I totally agree not to use peddle assist when turning shapely, I turned from stationary with ped-ass on and I almost fell off, so always have ped-ass mode off and move on a turn using your own peddling power. It’s like having someone behind you, giving you a push as you turn which is not good.
We have had two since October. Ours arrived in good shape. Like you said the brakes needed adjustment. The derailer also needed adjustment. There are a lot of youtube videos on how to do this.
The best tip you gave was the felt buttons on the battery. Bravo
Thank you for all your tips! You solved my rattling mystery.... the battery! I will try some felt.
Glad I could help!
Just rode mine for the 1st time and had a rattle from the front wheel, maybe fender area.
I bet it’s the battery rattling?
Bought mine earlier this evening and I am so glad that I found this video because that’s all information that would be really good to know.
Jeremiah, you have done so much for this company that the least they could you is send you another one for the wife. BTW I sold mine and got a step thru from another brand. I found it too hard to mount and dismount at my age, I actually fell down twice and I have bad hips, can't take a chance of getting hurt at age 67
I agree! I have a lot of time invested in making these videos but I do it to help out other people.
I recently asked them if they had an affiliate program and they said no😩.
I’ve been looking for my next bike for future videos to do some comparisons. Maybe Juiced bikes, Rad Runner Plus , Rattan Fat Bear, Eahora X7...who knows I’m a little limited on cash but I would love for them to send me their new step through!
@@JeremiahMcintosh If I were a bike manufacturer, I would surely send you a free bike for you to test out, you are very thorough and fair in your testing plus the publicity helps make sales.
Thank you!
Hi Pedro. I am 62 with same issues. What step they bike did you purchase? So many out there. Thank you
@@Amy-fu1tp I got the Veego Semi fat for $1000 it's a step thru and lighter than the Lectric XP with a lower seating position as well. For ,me it has enough range and power, I am not racing anyone.
Excellent tips!
Wow I didn’t know about pedaling out of a turn. As a soon to be brand new e-bike rider I’m very appreciative of that tip!
I planned on buying my next Friday. This video really was insightful, thank you.
Omg I have been trying to figure out how to change my battery for ever and I realize I had forgotten to unlock didn’t even know it had a lock feature to begin with thankyou
Good tips thanks, I ordered my bike April 20th and just recently received email saying the May Pre-Order bikes are now shipping and all May bikes should be sent by the end of the month, but no date yet for shipment info on my bike. I ordered the Black one and have already got my accessories for it.
Brian Ordered my blackie 2 days after you did!
Hava Blast! Be safe! ☀️
Brian I also order 4/20. Order #11822. Sure am anxious to get that shipment confirmation.
John Walsh I’m only 35 from you . Good luck!
Recieved the email today! Bike should arrive in just a couple of days! 👍🏽🔆
Got my letter also John, it's coming via FedEx... tracking shows it will be here on Monday!
I'm lookign at an XP trike myself, so not sure how much will apply, but checking the cable connections is always solid advice.
Good info man, and thanks for the info.
I have had my 2.0 for a week, and gone on three rides. It is great!!!
A little cold for 20mph in December, but I can get warmer face and head coverings for that. ;-)
Wow. The e-bikes are starting to look more and more like motorcycles all the time.
My Brother's REALLY DOES! Which Is COOL! & WAYyyy Better for The Environment/Mother Earth🌎🌈☮🙏 But I LOVE My LECTRIC For the fact that its Compacting with the breaking down and Folding innovation for City Apartment Living, & Taking With To Travel to different Places to Explore, Experience, & Ride! Cause I Live In Utah! Which Is AWESOME👍👍🙌👐 A Dream Come True #4D
Ordered mine last week on a Monday and it arrived today on a Friday !So excited .
Awesome! Enjoy!
Thanks for all great information through your amazing videos Jeremiah!... you're doing a great job!.. I'm sixty yo with back, knee and hip problems, my step through will arrive in September according to lectric...can't wait!
Awesome and Thank you!
Jeremiah… Just ordered my bike yesterday. I have been watching your videos and its really good to see all inputs about it. My new black Lectric 2.0 is coming soon! I hope the battery will be a good brand and not a generic one. I’m thinking to call before they ship it. Let’s see. I’m planning to do a commute to work every other day. 19 miles one way! Let’s see how many trips I can put on this one : ) I don’t want to buy another car! While companies are calling employees to be in office i think this is a great option. Studying bike trails as well. I need to master the maps to fine the best options! Again thanks so much for all the time and effort you put on this videos. 🎉
Thank you Alfonso! They are a ton of fun. Enjoy!
Another great video Jeremiah! Ordered my Black XP on 4/30 (order #12xxx) and hopeful for an early June delivery down here in the sunshine state.
I ordered mine May 9 in black. I had emailed support for some other questions and they said based on when I ordered, my bike should be delivered around mid June. It's only been 2 weeks and it feels like forever! Can't wait.
From what I have been hearing... The wait time is just about a month and a half. They also told me a month when I asked them, so not too far off the estimate.
@@mrwilly41 gotcha. Update: still haven't received the tracking email. I'm hoping to get it soon!!
Update: received tracking info today! Should be here by next Tuesday.
@@MrTeachYa They must be getting them out faster. I got the first bike a little over a week ago, the second bike came in last Monday. I ordered mine almost a month earlier than you. Both showed up in good condition, the black one had a very small scratch in it, with a stripped screw that held the bike rack on, the white one was flawless. Real happy with them.
@@mrwilly41 that's awesome!! Can't wait to ride!
Thanks for the video, I got a white one. order in Jan, got it in about ten days.
Do u live in AZ?
@@firefox2462 indiana
@@garyb8186 oh wow! Thats really quick considering they are based in AZ!
@@firefox2462 I guess I got lucky, order at the right time.
@@garyb8186 do you get lots of attention
Fantastic video tutorial on a bunch of stuff not mentioned by others. Thank you so much for posting this! Riding mine in the San Juan islands currently.
I finally got mine today 🙌😁
How long did it take?
I just ordered the white step through on August 25th. I won’t receive it until later September or early October. Your videos help me prepare for it. Thank you. I’m so excited. My friend already has her ebike. Not a LECTRIC. I’m glad I waited and found out about the LECTRIC xp. Thank you again.
You’re welcome. I’m glad you found my videos helpful 👍
Absolutely helpful! Some people have squeaky brakes. I guess they didn’t wipe off the rotors before riding. Again, thanks.
Loved seeing the video that your wife did. Your son is so cute! His little legs go so fast! Hoping one day I can ride as many miles as he can ride. Thanks for the felt pad on the battery tip, also. I’ll watch this one again when my bike arrives. Such an inspiring family. Thank you all.
PS. That old building was really scary. All the drawing on the walls. I was glad no one popped out on y’all. So scary. Don’t go back there.
Thanks Jeremiah. Great video! I just received two XP's yesterday.
Awesome and happy riding! So what Do you think about them?
Ordered my XP 3.0 on Monday Jan 30, received it Saturday Feb 4....excellent service !
Had a question that Sat afternoon, called and received help immediately....again, excellent service
Will let you know how I progress with the bike...I'm new to ebikes so bear with me as I learn.
Dusty. 😎
i ordered my bike on march 29. i received it on may 21
@INGSOC it was a long wait. and yes i did order in the peak of carona. but my bike is finally here, this is my first e bike. so excited to ride it
Just got mine today! You were right when you said it was worth the wait. I’m 47 and I haven’t smiled so much since I was a kid. 😁
Nice!!!👍
im waiting on the black xp one and have been waiting for a month now.
I bought mine May 4th and here is the update they gave me. Hope it helps >> You will be pleased to learn that barring unforeseen circumstances we expect to begin shipping our June bikes on June 2. We expect all June bikes will be sent by June 20
Ordered 2 one a step through. Getting step through Saturday irdered Monday. Glad I watched this video giving me valuable info on what to look for. Thank you.
The step over I put on 24 hour hold thinking I wanted the Xpremium, decided to get the 3.0,,,so it is also coming just not Saturday. Thanks again for this video.
I ordered mine 04/20/20 for may, I got the black one, still waiting for a tracking number, but they have begun shipping may pre orders!
Alex mckinney I got mine the same date. I am still waiting for a tracker number email from Lectric. This morning, I went to my old email confirmation. Click on view order. Hopefully, yours will have the FedEx tracking number. Mine arrived in 4 days. I can’t wait.
Kowboy Church I know how you feel. I'm ready to go and ride this bike. I have all the accessories that I've bought.
Took exactly 1 month to get my bike. Thank you for your videos! They are very helpful.
You’re welcome!
Jeremiah, thank you for all these interesting and informative videos. The information provided and reading an on line copy of the owners manual gave me a big head start and greatly reduced the learning curve of owning, maintaining and riding an electric bike.
Received my step through style XP last week and was able to take several short rides weather permitting. Living in the north east this early in the spring nighttime temperatures drop into the 20's and I was concerned about the minimum storage temperature of the lithium ion battery. No mention of it in the owners manual so did a quick search and found this information:
Store the battery at temperatures between 5 °C and 20 °C (41 °F and 68 °F). NOTE. The battery self-discharges during storage. Higher temperatures (above 20 °C or 68 °F) reduce the battery storage life.
Perhaps this could be added to your list of must know tips. Thanks
I bought the white, step through. I’ve been waiting about a week. I just received notice that some, or all , of it will be shipped within a few days. I’m over the moon!
Great to hear Charles! Your going to have a blast!
Mine is coming in 5 days 😃
WOOHOO!!!
When did you order ?
I just ordered mine in black today!
@@christianrico4944 Ordered it April 16th, Arrived May 26!
@@Aer0xander how do you like it?
Just unboxed mine. Took almost two weeks to get here and display was smashed in transit. Called and they're sending a replacement display. The rep said it was easy to replace, so we'll see. Great tips in this video, especially cleaning brake rotors.
awesome tips! waiting for mine!
key does not go.all the way in
Thanks for the video took a bunch of notes, I ordered mine on 6.16.22, its driving on 6.27.22- Black-Step through XP 2.0.
1:39 i thought the bike was flying 🤦🏼♂️
Yeah!! Just ordered a lite blue E. Monday.. can't wait to ride it. It will be my way to move around.. 👍
Yeh, good tips. One I could say on my new 3.0, my rear tire was rubbing something or other with every rotation, I found that they bolted it on kinda wobbly...readjusted it when mounting the foot pegs for passenger . Another one, I needed to mess with my derailleur set screws a little bit to get it to shift and function best as able for the budget Shimano setup. But man, this bike rocks!...although wish it had an 8th gear.
Why would anyone give this video a negative review? I just don't get it. Thanks for the good work here Jeremiah.
Thank you peaceful Prepper me and my son were wondering the same thing! The nature of TH-cam I guess or someone just doesn’t like me? Sometimes I get some nasty comments as well and it makes me wonder why? The video I just posted got a dislike also. Oh well you can’t please everyone😞
Spot on, Jeremiah, about peddling in assist mode while turning. Came close a couple of times while turning in restricted places ie; pedestrian railway crossings, etc., in power mode 1. I ride a Ryder, "Fatty" Folding Ebike, 48V 250w (Not legal in my country to have/ride the 500w bike.) which has plenty of power for me. Have achieved a comfortable 80klm's in pedal assist mode. Many thanks for your helpful tips.
SO TRUE! I am always paranoid about letting smeone ride that has never been on one. When turning around, in the middle of the rode, DO NOT LET PEDALS MOVE AT ALL!! You will crash into curb and bust your ass maybe. Its not a defect. They all are like this. Just be careful. SOmetimes I even bump it down to PAS Zero.
Just got the 3.0 yesterday..noticed when in gear 7, the chain was in #6 sprocket, thought out of adjustment, but when watching this video, sure 'nuff, the derailer guard was preventing it from going into the #7 sprocket!! THANKS!!
Happy it helped and glad you got it fixed!
Thank you, I just ordered an XP 2.0 today and I will be watching this vid a few times and do what you suggested when the bike arrives.
Awesome! They are a blast…enjoy!
Purchased mine on January 31 received it February 10th. Only thing I have a problem with is the charging port plug doesn't want to stay in. Other than that it's great. I love it. Best purchase I've ever made.
I haven't ridden a bike in 30 years, and didn't even know that spokes could loosen up. This was a very helpful video. Thank you, Just subscribed.
Thank you very much! I really appreciate that!
Ordered XP step thru long range. Black...Just 2 days ago. Can't wait
THANK YOU! I have only 22 miles on my new ST 2.0. My battery was down to 42V so I tried to remove it to charge and could not get it out if the bike. Found this video and figured it out. I had not popped out the charging plug and it was wedged in there. All good now!!👍🏻 Michele
Michele I’m glad you got it out. You can also charge the battery in the bike.
Ordered two on the 8th of April and received the free light,lock phone holder in four days still waiting on bikes. Ordered two black xp premium 3.0 learning a lot from you
Great to hear! Enjoy!
Ordered mine 3/5/20. They tried to send it out with FedEx 5/7 and after a week FedEx still wouldn't take it. So they switched it to UPS on 5/14. Then it finally got picked up on 5/21. The delivery should come on 5/26. I have a white one coming. Already have a Bikearoo seat waiting for it.
Nice! I’m not surprised because fed ex sucks! Good to see they are able to use an another shipper now!
I ordered a black XP Step-Thru this week and am watching as many videos as possible while I look forward to the projected November delivery. Your XP-related videos are very informative. Thanks.
You’re welcome!
