- Some of my viewers asked to show them how to remove the XP LITE rear tire. This was my first time trying something like this but should be fairly straightforward for you DIYers once you give it a watch.
BUY A LECTRIC: lectricebikes....
I just watched your video, and changed my own back tire for the first time. It wasn't even difficult. Thanks!
Welcome 🙏
Like others said on their videos, the street tires make a huge difference. I put the Ralson desert camo tires on mine and went from 19.7 top speed to 21.5. much smoother ride overall too.
I can't understand why Lectric doesn't put out a video on this for PROPER steps to both remove the wheel and then to put it back on with the proper chain tension. With all the XP Lite eBike they sold, its unreal that they have no service video on this procedure. I've emailed them requesting such a video bur never got a reply and so I'm not holding my breath.
To be fair it can be intimidating to disassemble something like this. I'm naturally a tinkerer so when looking to see if I could I made sure to overlook everything as well as buy new zip ties so that it was back to factory standard. Lectric like all or a majority of companies don't want to deal with muck-ups who try to dismantle something and pass it off to the factory as a warranty issue. But I get where you're coming from nonetheless.
I'm going to have my bike shop do it. I'm old, one mistake could be terminal if it comes apart on me. I only have 50 miles on my XP Lite. The street tires should last a year a year I hope.
Thank you for this video! It saved me a lot of time. Would’ve been lost without it.
Glad it helped!
Thanx Chris!! Trial and error of course but it’s on! Old age and patience definitely played its part,long ago I could swap out tires on a 10 speed in the blink of an eye 😂
Thank you! Good info, you will make my job easier if I ever have to change my tire!
Welcome 🙏
Just did the same thing adding street tires. It was hell with the brake pads took off the square thing. I put on xcm 20 shocks as well
I replaced my tires with street tires, too, and found that the Chaoyang originals on my bike were scary thin. Absolutely no sidewall support and very light. My wife's bike comes in today and one of the very first things I'm going to do is put on a safer tire.
Did your street tires make a difference in speed and handling?....Also range?
i use a marker
I emailed Lectric asking about the chain tension and was told the axel nut is 18mm. This is a 2023 model if anyone was wondering.
They just put out a video about it actually. th-cam.com/video/sdXWDqGsICk/w-d-xo.html
Where did you get the tires? I’m looking for 20x2.6. Thanks
E bay. I just got a deal with tubes. 2 20x2.4.
I ride an xp lite. You'll probably have to use 2.25 tubes.
That is a great step by step guide. Can you say what size are the new tires? 20 x what?
2.4 I think
Please. What tires are those?

What is the brand/model of the bike stand you are using? Thanks.
Amazon no longer sells it. I just bought this one: amzn.to/4a4dK44
looks like pain, just got mine today hopefully no flats
Mine came with slime in tires, that should help
@@ChrisCrossed Hey Chris, great video. i also got my bike with the promo slime in the tires. my question is, can you do a video or explain in the comments, when replacing the tires, do we need to deflate and remove the slime before we put a new tire? thanks
@@ArtsyMike so there’s no need to remove it, it will remain once you deflate. After a few years it will likely dry up.
have you found a aftermarket battery for the lite yet? I want to go with something 10ah or higher. do you happen to know the dimensions of the lite battery? I have been looking on Aliexpress and all i really find is Xp 2.0 batteries. they comes in 36V and 48V. I dont know why they comes in 36V when the stock battery is even 48V
I dont think anyone sells the LITE battery, its too new of a bike at this point
@@ChrisCrossed I found one on AliExpress but I don’t know the exact dimensions to be sure. It comes in a 410mm long and 430mm long. So I’m guessing the lite battery is the 410mm option
It’s not the fork, it’s called a frame.
Watching you take the chain off through the cog first was so cringe sorry buddy.
Hello Chris, can you give me the information on your bike stand? I am looking to purchase on for my new XP Lite 2.0.
I use this one now it’s better for some of my heavier e-bikes amzn.to/3LQFYp5
I found that the front wheel nuts are 15mm and the rear are 18mm. 19mm on the rear wheel nuts was too loose on my bike.
Also wanted to add (and the reason I watched this video) is that unplugging the motor is simply a matter of pulling the two ends apart. Disconnecting is not covered in the instruction manual, in fact, I couldn't find anything on how to change the rear tire in the manual, and I was a bit anxious to simply pull on an electrical connection. However, indeed, that is how it is done. It takes an uncomfortable amount of effort to pull them apart, too.
5mm Allen key too?
You're the best kind of teacher. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
What pedals do you have

Oh yeah 😎? Bought the front and rear racks. Disconnected both front and rear lights (rather stiff & hard to do). Used Dialectric Silicone Grease (Walmart, Amazon, automotive store?) A lot easier to reconnect and dielectric Silicone grease protects the bare wire connection.
Were did you get those tires ?
Amazon but I think they sold out
@@ChrisCrossed o I see do you remember what brand they are ?

The single one thing I was looking for and the video just jumps right over it. So when putting the wheel back... what sequence do the various washers go? Specifically the one on the brake side with the notch built into it. I watched the entire video and right when you get to the most relevant part... you skip past it. seriously
the washers with the notch go on the inside of frame, you screw on those nuts, dont tighten until you get the main axle nut on. One you get all the nuts in place tighten down the notch washers paying attention to the wheel alignment. I had trouble getting the wheel to line up. Once you do then tighten the axle nuts.
The chain just won’t come off.
It’s tricky
do you happen to know the measurement of the bolt thickness, if its standard? because i am trying to attach my kids trailer, BUrley brand.. to my XP lite and i cant figure how to do it. ty
I dont so buy a couple different versions (maybe half inch)
If I just need to tighten the chain, do I just loosen the axle nuts on each side, tighten the 10 mm nuts, and then re-tighten the axle nuts, is that correct? Would I need to do anything with the brake caliper?
Sounds right
You will have to adjust the brake caliper if you move the wheel back more than a couple of millimeters, otherwise the caliper may rub on the rim of the brake disc.
What kind of sprockets does this bike use?
You mean the chainring?
@@ChrisCrossed The rear sprocket, specifically. What's the model/tooth count?
