I getting a trailer for touring plus extra battery for long distance. And solar panels for charging in woods or isolated areas.
Get a Ecoflow solar generator
You're gonna need a trailer just for accessories !
What panels would be powerful enough to charge these 14ah batteries?
@@livesofthefreemasons or my 70ah 😅
Just picked up an XP 2.0 step through on sale for $850 shipped! I ride it in a city and it is great! I am toying with the idea of unlocking the class 3 but really recognize the battery economy. I will probably play with it tomorrow to see if it is worth doing, I like the idea of charging it every other day vs having to charge it nightly. I thought about pulling the trigger on the bigger battery but $500 is quite a bit... I do recognize that having the battery it came with as an additional means of fuel would be sweet... Those 8 extra MPH may or may not be worth it, I guess it would depend on how bad you need to be somewhere and what your time frame is. I really appreciate your video, it definitely has shown me some cool upgrades!
Thanks for watching and welcome to the club!
Got the Rockbros bag. Thanks Chris for the recommendation.
Nice video, I find approaching bikes with daylight lights annoying especially on strobe. Seems quite unnecessary and inconsiderate to your fellow e-bikers.
Try the rear camera . Easy set up $40 Amazon. Also side folding basket attached to back frame.
I really like the Wowtow frame bag, the phone /stash case is removable and there's roomy pockets for snacks for the bonks or an mp3 player... I just got the bag today so haven't fully explored the possibilities yet but I intend to.
I've only had my Lectric 2.0 bike two days and absolutely love it. I was in and out of the garage all evening customizing and just getting to know what's on the bike and where, and read the manual and, you know, things like that. I just love my new Lectric 2.0, I could go on for hours. 😍🚴
Nice, welcome to the club!
I'm thinking of buying this wowtow, it costs less than 40$.
@@strout2944 It's a good bag and carries a lot of stuff easily: snacks, bike alarm, MP3 player and small souvenirs I might find on the roads while riding.
I ordered two Lectric step thru bikes for Christmas. The first one was lost in shipment but a replacement is in route. I did get the second one and have only 10 miles on it. I am very impressed. I appreciate all the comments and videos you have made. I am looking for accessories to make the bikes even better. I missed the thumb throttle source but do not need it right now. I just joined the group a few minutes ago. I live in southern Utah and expect to have a lot of fun with the bikes,
On the rear light, I installed the same. BUT, behind the rear bag so it's 100% visible to traffic. You need a right angle bracket (many racks do come equipt) behind the rack to attach the light to. I used a 3" long round PVC pipe, connected that to the rack bracket; in fact with two holes on the bracket it takes #1 of 2. Then used the std. connector that comes with the unit, and secured that to the 3" PVC. Used hole #2 to squeeze in a 2nd 3" wide red reflector. If they can't see me they're driving blind. And the remote signal unit has no problem with it behind the bag.
I like the Roswheel pack that covers part of the "LECTRIC" name on the side. That would be good
so you don't advertise too much to a thief that it's a $1,000 electric bike.
I covered my Lectric name with vinyl for the same reason
Love everything you've done. I might buy some of those idea
Nice
Like the seat suspension, I would like more info
Thanks
Al
Sure thing! here's the link amzn.to/3vPbgYN
All the great stuff I didn't know I needed.
Thanks for the Victgoal helmet tip. Bought it and love it.
Glad you like it!
The frame bag will eventually wear a hole in the paint. These bags are always moving with bumps and just the vibrations of road and bike, working like sandpaper on the paint. I didn't see anything to change a flat tire. You will need a pump, innertube, two large wrenches for the front and back axel bolts, and possibly a hammer too, along with enough allen wrenches for the torque arms, and disk brake removal. I didn't see any tire levers either for removing the tire from the rim for repair. You should also carry a chain break tool for repairing a broken chain, and an allen wrench big enough for the crank bolts which always come loose. I didn't see a spoke wrench either, very necessary for truing a wheel when you break a spoke. Panniers will not clear your feet when your feet are correctly positioned on the pedal, unless you have very small feet, under size 8.
Nice accessories, I really like the removable pedals, more protection when folding bike for travel in my vehicle.
arent all pedals removable? i haved pedals that fold in. makes it much easier to lck up in tight spots
@@fondrees hey all my screwdrivers were cordless long before they invented the cordless screwdriver!
Nice rig but that lock tough
My bike has the same short handle bars. I bought some handle bar extensions for mine. They give you an extra 3 inches on each side after you take the grips off fit them and put the grips back on.
Extensions? Interesting
Just ordered mine, this very very helpful
Thank you for sharing this video. Very good information! Just ordered the bike.
Enjoy the ride!
Awesomeness video
Thank you and thank
You for all the links
To amazon..👍👍😉
Thanks Chris got that pedal off and installed the one you recommended 👍
Follow all ur videos 📹.
Rock on!
Great idea on that thousand helmet for winter riding.Those helmets are really popular.
Great info, thanks I’m following you now.
Great info thx!
Thanks
Im considering buying this bike to replace a MUCH more expensive that i have been riding solely for rhe throttle-only option snd I thank you for all your reviews. Because of them you have convinced me of the quality of this bike and zi understand their customer service is better than excellent. Ive subscribed to your channel and look forward to more of what you have to say about it. Mail-orderinf a bike is always a risk but youve convinced me that I want to get one. Kudos to you and your unbiased reviews. Ive watched many rebiewers but you are BY FAR the best, most infomative reviewer of them all.
Thanks Mark, good choice either the Lectric it’s a great valentines and a great company. Appreciate you watching.
I have the same rear bag and love it. I think I may have mine on backwards after seeing yours. LOL
I’ve tried it both ways
You gotta checkout the CYCL Winglights; they're turn signal lights that mount to your handlebar. Make sure you get the 360 version, which is rechargeable. They look awesome at night and have a front and rear light feature (white and red) that stays on while you ride.
Great video! Got me thinking about the upgraded headlight
Yeah i eventually put on winglights
Chris- you do a great disservice to
Loyal subscribers and others by not even mentioning MIPS helmets- I have one for bicycling, one for skiing and one for motorcycling. THEY WORK ( ask me how I know)
At the time I did this video I didn’t know much about MIPS
I use a motorcycle helmet for mine. Also I have a fully clothed skeleton in a back rack baby seat (it's my scare crow)
Nice. I have two Halo motorcycle headlights on a piece of copper tubing mounted on the front where the basket would mount. Use a 12v mobility scooter battery. I have it in the bag on back. It's over kill. I shrunk in my old age, have a Dropper post the raises me up 150mm. Amazing how much it helps. Just bought chrome electric cable covering like the black stuff already on the bike. My back freewheel is nickel plated 11-28 T. A little shine.
What is a dropper post.
@@fondrees It's a seat post that works exactly like a office chair. Pull the handle, it goes up or down.
@@Saddletramp1200 wow thats pretty vool. good idea. i need one. thanks
It's an addiction. So far, I'm up to 8 myself with 2 more to go!
Had an accident, my elbow requested elbow pads! Ouch.
Ride on !
Shopping….shopping…shopping… cha ching 💸💸💸💳💳💳
It adds up! Lol
I have the Meilan light. I just mount it on the rear rack. The laser work just as good in the back of the bike.
How did you mount it
Love the VicGoal helmet. Order the one without the bill so I can attach the visor up top when not needed.
Chris, I’m astounded you do not mention MIPS helmets- I have one for bicycling, one for skiing, and one for motorcycling. They are far superior in low speed crashes- please research these
@@lenl2514 Thx Len, I just ordered one.
Yeah, the bike seat is the next thing I'm going to get, the one that comes with the bike, you bust your butt on that with bumps. even now sitting in front of the computer, not riding the bike, I still have Vietnam style flashbacks of traumatic rides due to the seat. I totally want to get that bag also. thanks for the vid.
just awesome thank you brother.
Nice bike. I bought a Garmin for trails
Hey Chris, the mods keep piling up. Just received my XP 2.0 yesterday, after waiting 11 weeks. I have the same Rockbros rack bag, FYI if you turn yours the other way there is a strip on the drink holder for a clip-on red light 👍🏻
Cool i reversed the placement to get the water bottle closer to me.
Another cool mod would be a helmet that you could attach the camera to so you could use both hands to demonstrate. I see this in so many videos that I'm surprised no one has come up with an inexpensive method of freeing both hands. I don't shoot videos so maybe it just wouldn't work but it would be great if there were one. Thanks for showing your electric bike additions.
I have a chest mounted go pro holder which is how I record most of my rides.
@@ChrisCrossed Yes, I see those but are they too wide screen for people who are shooting videos about a small thing like a light on a bike or a fender attachment? I see so many videos where the person is struggling to show something because one hand is holding the camera. Like I said, I don't shoot videos so I am just throwing stuff out there. Anyway, thanks again for your videos.
Rod holders are a must-have
Nice Video very informative.
Thanks for watching!
Great video!!
Thanks!
Man, I'm in PA, need something warmer in winter.
Great video
Thanks!
I'd love to know which product to get aftermarket for a folding foot peg (passenger), the one from E
Lelectric only comes in a bundle and is not foldable
@Chris Crossed
Thanks Chris Crossed !
Awesome gear and great review ! I have the same bike you have. 👍
I went to the link to get the pedals but there were 2. One was, w/o adapter - $16 and the other with adapter was $35.
May I ask which you bought, please ?
Happy adventures.
The $35 ones amzn.to/2XUtQxZ
@@ChrisCrossed Awesome, thanks for the tips and reviews.
I'm so pleased that I found your channel. 👍😃
Hi ty for sharing
What lock do you use and do you have theft insurance?
No insurance, i use the Lectric folding lock, works just fine for me.
I heard from other reviewers there is not that much difference in the lighting between the stock lighting and the premium lighting. What is your opinion? Was it worth the upgrade?
Yeah its not a big upgrade.
I love that he's like 60 and tossing out "pimpin"
Dont age me too much, i'm only 50, lol
@@ChrisCrossed haha it was all in good fun. Good video, I've been trying to decide if I want a lectric or not, and accessories are always nice
@@StoryoftheYear16 Lectric is the perfect choice for the casual ebike rider
I am just turned 73 and I just got my bike so don’t be agist is right. 😊
Nice video and looks like an excellent bike, but I have found for International and Canada it is a risk of you read their policy, basically a buy it at your own risk for returns.
Website Policy:
You may cancel your order for a full refund up until the time you receive your shipment confirmation email with tracking information. If you cancel after your order has been sent you are responsible for the return shipping fee. In addition, the original shipping fee we incurred to send the bike to you will not be refunded (even when ‘free’ shipping is advertised). Our refund policy is ‘All Sales Final’. Unfortunately, we can’t offer a refund or exchange after the bike has shipped.
Great video, didn’t see any info on the rear view mirrors, my lectric lite bike didn’t have them..
i think those are the Meechow mirrors amzn.to/49YTNey
I like those pedals. I wondering how much they might actually deter theft if the person can't actually ride the bike should they steal it.
Thanks, prob would deter a little bit, as long as bike was locked too.
Hi Chris, I believe I have the same Rock Brothers bag. I believe I understand why you have it facing the way you do so the water bottle is near the seat, but isn't that backwards? On mine, there's a reflective strip around that bottle holder part that can only be seen if you had the bag turned around and I believe it's supposed to be alerting cars and other riders behind you.
So I had it the other way at first, decided to reverse it to put the water bottle bag nearer me. It also fills up more of the empty space under the seat.
Is the front frame bag a large or medium that you got for the XP2.0? Also is it a Roswheel or Rockbros? The video said Roswheel but the link goes go Rockbros. Thsnkd 👍👍👍
Like your setup. Trying to order.
Apparently I couldn’t find the same frame bag so I linked to the Rock Bros alternative
Hi Chris, do you worry about your seat post being stolen or do you have a way of locking it? Thanks for the nice video's. I'm enjoying my 2.0 as well.
No I’m never far from the bike, actually I’ve never needed to lock it so wil only be using lock sparingly
a screw or 2 thru the posts with a little jb weldin the grooves to prevent unscreing will provide a semi permanent solution to theft. or future modification on your part as well,lol
Hi Chris I like your light with right left turn signals. Do you have a link for this light? TIA
thanks in the description...
When I ordered my bike, the ready kit never showed up. I was told by customer service it’s my problem.
At least they didn’t charge extra for the flat and damaged rear tube, scratched paint that looks like someone used a grinder on the fork and the rear of the bike.
I ordered a tube on eBay so I can fix the bike and get it rideable to sell.
bummer
Great overview---thanks so much. Quick question: why two phone holders?
The pouch just happens to come with a holder too, just another option
"Burner Phone"
Great informational video. The rockbros trunk bag is pricey. Do you still like it and has it remained in good shape?
Yes it’s a big bag and has taken a beating on my various bikes. Very functional with the side bags. There are some cheaper options out there…
@@ChrisCrossed Thanks! I have a Lectric 2.0. Thanks for the response. The cheaper versions don’t seem to have the great reviews. Looks like I’m ordering the Rockbros bag and the gloves for sure. Again great video and explanations!
Is there something that attaches to the standard rear rack that lets me use my panniers that hook on older racks with narrower tubing?
Dont know, try using the Rock Bros bag as it comes with panniers
What's with the foreboding Kubrick sound track?
Lol, found in iMovie.
I didn’t see where you got your rod holders. Would you please post a link? Thanks
All Rite rod holders amzn.to/3vu9aJE
I haven't watched this yet so maybe you mention it, but on the Lectric website I saw a bike with a surfboard on a bike with a surfboard rack. But there is no surfboard rack on their website. I have some online but no way to judge them. Any thoughts?
I’ve seen a few pics of people with a surfboard attached but to be honest I’m not sure how they carry it.
I couldn't find your video about your little thumb throttle bracket. I bought one and love it. Can you please enlighten me again.
If you are referring to the Pedego thumb throttle its on this one th-cam.com/video/OH7b00giqwI/w-d-xo.html
@@ChrisCrossed no, not that one. The one you had before that.
@@AH-st1my I think that was from magnumprinting.store
Thanks. I don't think they print it anymore.
@@AH-st1my oh bummer keep searching the Facebook groups I think multiple people have printed them in the past
Are there any issues with folding while the mirrors are attached?
No because the mirrors are on a swivel and can g be adjusted
Are you still happy with the Lixada Bike Pedal Mountain Bicycle Pedals? Anything better that you would recommend?
Yes I like them a lot, there’s a few other QR versions out there but these work great
@@ChrisCrossed , great! I made the purchase. What are the yellow things that come in the wrench bag? Are they extenders?
@@MichaelTitera I think those are just plastic packaging
@@ChrisCrossed , actually, I think they are some kind of tabs to make it easier to take the pedals off. Not necessary. I just installed the pedals and they are much better than the stock pedals. Thanks for the recommendation!
Dude you look like a young version of jig saw.. 😆
Lol that’s a new one
Upgrade your breaks to the hb-100 hydraulic brakes! You’ll love them 💯
I was but they dont fit!, spokes keep rubbing against caliper cause the 2.0 tires are smaller
@@ChrisCrossed wow you gotta let the people know that! That’s some serious information!!
Hey Chris, you're going to have as much money as the Lectric cost invested if you're not careful, lol. Anyway to mount that turn signal to the rear of the pannier bag or frame?
I know right! I knew I spent hundreds but noth that much lol. Unfortunate mounting points for that taillight are only for the seat or seatpost. I suppose you could zip tie it there
Hey Chriss do the pedal comes with the adapter or l need to purchase it separate
comes with
@@ChrisCrossed Thank you buddy great content always l wanted to go for that bike run but l live in New Jersey my bike has almost everything your ebike has
@@marinorosario3917 got any good trails in northern NJ?
@@ChrisCrossed nothing like where u live l usually ride with traffic
Very happy with xp2 but the battery sucks.
Thanks for sharing this video - but I had a bit of a hard time hearing you especially with all the background noise. Consider using an inexpensive lavalier mic when filming outside it can make a huge difference.
Thanks I do have one but didn’t at the time of this vid
Do you have a link to the Wowtow frame bag?
Cant seem to find it anymore so try this one from RockBros amzn.to/3CuV4K9
can you ride this on the road in class 3 mode without a license? I think you can right?
Yes indeed
Where did you get the bag you put on your bike and the name of the bag 🎒
It’s a Rock Bros Trunk Bag amzn.to/3rNmybk
Nice setup, I would think putting the taillight controller on the left side would be more intuitive.
Yep either side is fine
I recently bought some Lectric accessories, and they are giving me the run around. Do you guys also have this same treatment?
Can you be more specific? I typically buy after market for most accessories.
@@ChrisCrossed specifically bought the Xp lite back rack. When I emailed them at time package arrived(also bought fendors together with it;only fendor arrived) I informed them of the missing package. And then they proceed to send me the frame folding latch(don’t know the true name). I told them they didn’t send me the back rack. They responded. Brb
Edit:specifically talking about the Lectric main store. No off brand.
In addition the fendors they did send me, the front ones came bent.
@@ChrisCrossed upon being loud, the Insta responded, hopefully they will send the XP Lite Rear Rack.
@@rockfire1669 good luck
I had no problem putting the bike lock on using the bolts
I gave up, lol
Give it another shot. You can get it
Is the back bag theft proof?
just a zipper there
You forgot to link the phone mount. Would love to give you a referral buy for your review.

@@Cyfi71 oh yeah, ride on...
I know right? Fun though.
The bike showed up this week! First impression: wow, this thing is fun! Just got a twilight ride in and feeling like a fifteen year old kid again. Very comfortable position riding this bike. And Saddletramp is right, the turbo boost kicks in on pas three! Oh yeah, the desert is going to be fun this winter!😎
Thanks for the video! I dont see a link for the Melian X5 light. Hook us up so you can get credit!
Here you go bro amzn.to/39kK5X3
No alarm ?
Nah I had one but kept setting it off by accident too much
why a phone mount when you have a phone case on the front bag?
phone mount is better for quick access, i dont use that frame bag much anymore
It's all about parts. Seems to me all these ebikes are a different frame with pretty much the same parts. If you want a better bike better parts.
Yeah some e-bikes have a better core parts list but I can take almost any ebike and make it better through aftermarket
Your taillight location doesn't work with the bag I the way! You need daylight traffic protection.
I’m gonna add a usb light below the rack that will fix that
Harbor freight has open finger gloves and Adaptive fabric bags
LED lights
Headlamps
Green slime
The helmet you linked is the wrong model. The one you linked is the cheaper one with the button battery light.

Buyer beware! Because of all the superfluous hype about this bike it is easy to not be aware of the company's return policy. NO returns are allowed. Search for the return policy link on the company's web page and read it before deciding to purchase the bike or any accessories to make an informed decision.
I also had a hard time with this reality. After a week of checking the other ebikes I went ahead and ordered the Lectric... hoping for the best!
What bike lock would you recommend? I saw a video where the guy used three locks. Then he said he never leaves it alone. Haha
If you have to leave the bike alone for a significant amount of time get that kryptonite chain lock. Otherwise a good folding lock should be fine.
no disrespect but i cant see a $25 lock being secure, i payed $65 for a foldylock very secure. buy one please and keep your bike safe,it will go well with the one you've got.
I rarely lock it so this one os fine for the 20 - 30 mins i need to secure it. I'm never far from my bike usually.
