Really cool! Only thing is I would replace the gps tracker for an airbag at 30 per unit which is forever as opposed to the $60 a year. The only downside is its not waterproof (i dont think) and it is not as hidden. But putting it under your seat will hide it.

Good review! I have to say that I bought the same bottle holder for a similar speaker and the rubber strap broke - replaced it and that broke also, so I now use a big hose lamp that is very secure and also makes the speaker harder to steal - just trim the velcro straps holding it on so they have no tail so they are harder to remove.

Good tip! I'll have to keep that in mind if my strap has problems....

Great video and really cool upgrades! I just ordered same bike. Do you know if a U-Lock will fit around fat bar where battery is held when locking it up? I saw a video of a guy cut the handle with an angle grinder..was hoping I didn't have to use that thin handle to lock up bike. Thanks for any feedback!

The best review of accessories I’ve seen for the Lectric XP cool very detailed quality add on parts especially the front headlight the basket is nice I use kryptonite on my regular giant bike and the $600 yes I need to protect it when I go out I use two locks this review is awesome thank you for sharing

Thanks for the great comment!

I am impressed with the addons and upgrades you have done with your ebike.

Thanks! I’m always on the lookout for what to upgrade next :)

Great video! Rode Harleys most of my life, but now this will do. I loved your choice of handlebars. But they no longer carry them. If you had an alternative you could suggest that would be great? Also, how hard was it to get all the electronics to fit on the new bars? Anyway great video! Joe

@S Y Thank you. I will look at similar one. The ones you have were similar to my old Harley's handlebars which I loved!

Appreciate the kind words! I don't have any first hand experience with other handlebars so I shy away from recommendations that I have not personally tried...I suggest checking out any handlebars with a decent sweep angle; it helps tons with riding in a more natural sitting position. Fitting all the electronics on the new handlebars were fairly simple, the hardest part was getting the old grips off to use on the new handlebars...a bit of soapy water helped.

I got 800 miles on my ebike, and I've had it for 6 months, and I thought I was doing well! 2,700!!! That's awesome bro, keep up the good work! My ebike is my daily driver!

1,400 miles and going!

This video is gonna make the company increase the price of the bike LMAOOO! Great mods and excellent video. Did about 2 hours of research to find the best EBike for my needs and stumbled across this bike. Now that I see the full capabilities and potential that the bike has I am totally sold, and I’m looking forward to turning mine into the beast that yours is!!!

Just received my xp2.0 on September 16, 2021, great so far, EXCEPT the seat is VERY UNCOMFORTABLE after approximately 20-30 minutes I to my ride, feel every Bump, with my Bum, just ordered a New Seat and Hydrolic Seat post

@William Aiken Keeping the battery at 80% charge instead of a full charge, will allow you to have 2x of a lifetime of the battery. Just keep the hub motor, gears and chain, cleaned and lubed which is fairly easy stuff. I like to use White Lighting Epic Ride lube...its a great all in one type of product. It lubes up great, but also cleans and keeps any bolts and screws you need waterproof.

@S Y what maintenance would you recommend doing? I want to keep mine in tip top shape. I will be using it as my daily commuter!

Heh, love the comment...much appreciated. I am sure you will love the XP. I am still diggin mine :)

Great video. Love your upgrade choices. Did you upgrade your grips, too?

Thanks! I found that the grips that came on the XP were fine and I didn't want to spend money on 'unnecessary' things so I kept them.

Swaggy my dude. Never too into the lectric but it's definitely a great deal and solid bike

That was absolutely fantastic. I bought the same mirror from Amazon. I’m definitely going to get a GPS tracker. In fact, why not pay 10 bucks per month and hide two of them. They find the first one and think they’ve outsmarted you. I hope the cops are wearing a body cam so I can see the look on the face of the dirt bag who missed my second tracker.

Great looking upgrades and ride. I like the looks of your seat. Can you tell us about and how comfortable of a ride does it give ya. Thanks.

Thanks! The seat is a Luxoton Memory Foam Seat, its super comfy compared to the stock seat and my butt has been happy since getting it. It is not too squishy like the gel seats, the memory foam does an awesome job being comfy. Heres a Amazon link: https://amzn.to/38HZxgv

I like how you hooked that bike up, did you also upgrade the seat and seat post? And you definitely got top security on that, never gonna get that stolen

Appreciate the kind words! Yeah I didn't skimp on the security...was not going to lose this ebike :P I upgraded the seat to a more comfortable memory foam seat, theres a link in the description.

Great job on the mods. Thank you so much for sharing!

Looks good and thanks for the video! Love the handle bars,did they fit in the stock stem? Thanks

Does the upgraded handlebar interfere with the bike folding?

@S Y Thanks for the info.....

Thanks for the comment! The Klunker handlebars fit in the stock stem easily without issues, just make sure if you upgrade, that the handlebars are the correct sizing of 25.4mm

Hey brother man! Any update on the 'ol XP 10 months later? Got the Outbound Lighting Road Edition myself, absolutely worth the price and performs beyond my initial expectations. I come back to this video every now and then and enjoy the time you've put in to your bike. Just passed 250 miles on my XP 2.0, looking forward to many many more! Check out Guardian Angel Elite Series and Micro Series lights if you really want to pull attention to yourself at night. Amazing products, I use a combination of them when riding along the shoulder of a 55MPH road and in town at night (rural-ish area) and they have many mounts and practical uses outside of night riding. Safe riding, my guy!

Thanks for the comment! I am also still enjoying my Outbound Lighting Headlight, it has held up great and is still as bright as the day I got it. The XP is holding up well at 1 1/2 years of ownership 5k miles of mainly throttle use, still using her as a commuter almost daily. The battery has started to degrade though I have found...I think it may be from an unbalanced cell as the range has diminished and full charge voltage sits a bit low, at around 54.0, compared to the 54.7 it used to be. Hopefully Ill be able to save the battery by balancing the cells by doing a few extended charge/discharge cycles. Anyways, I just purchased an extra battery that will fit the XP frame on Aliexpress, it's a 14AH Samsung celled. Still waiting on delivery though. Good suggestions on the tail lights, they look pretty bright and heavy duty. I may add one to my tail light/rear rack, just to be extra safe. I upgraded my tail light to the Juiced Hyperscrambler tail light a few months ago. I replaced the old XP tail light with the upgrade, it just plugs in the same way so it runs off the XP battery. This is getting a bit longer than 'comment', heh...Ride on and ride safe as well! 🤙

So with all of your upgrades would you say that you're around $1300 into your bike total? That would put you at under fifty cents a mile. That's a good result and only getting better as the miles rack up. I'm at 550 miles with almost zero in upgrades. Best regards.

Yep that sounds about right...I acquired the upgrades slowly when I found I needed something extra for safety, security, and comfort (commuting wise). For recreational riding some of these I would not think would be needed. Still with the XP's starting point price tag, it could not be beat.

Dude, that was a killer review on that bike as far as accessories. How did the bike perform? Yes you did say a few words about that. I love your tricked out Letric bike. Thanks for sharing, Well done video.

Thanks for the comment! The bike performs flawlessly, its still pushing along with no problems so far and I think it will be a great bike for days to come. I am at around 3100 miles now and I just replaced the tires for some Vee Speedster white walls, since my old CST BFT's were worn down to the orange base layer rubber I figured it was about time.

Love that hidden gps and the Bluetooth speaker holder idea.

I have 2800 on my 1.0 and about 1300 on my 2.0. The 1.0 is better by far. I've had nothing but issues with the 2.0, I should've just passed on 2.0. The suspension forks was nor worth the hassle.

Interesting....thats sad to hear. The few things that interested me in the 2.0 were just the skinner tires and the front rack mounting point, but otherwise I am fine with the original XP. I just got to around 5k miles or so on my XP of mainly throttle only use, the battery has started to degrade badly. When the motor starts drawing a high current from the battery, the battery starts draining and dying quickly. Sadly, I can only get a few miles or so until the battery dies now. Anyways, now that the original battery is dying Ive bought a upgraded replacement from aliexpress. Purchased a 14AH Samsung celled battery that will fit into the XP frame without issue, for around 370 including shipping. A 9.4AH LG/Samsung celled from Lectric is around 300 last I checked. Figured I would rather just wait a bit longer for shipping to get a better battery. Still waiting on delivery though....

Nice review of your upgrades. Do you commute to work on your bike? I need a better lock like yours. How many miles a day do you ride? Just bought my wife the 2.0 for Mother’s Day. She loves it! Good luck with the next 2k miles.

Your bike is mega sick bro. Thanks for the links, I’m copying most of your mods. 😎

How much extra cost did it add to the bike? Kinda defeats the budget?

I don't even have one yet and I'm copying them. :P

Thanks bro, appreciate the kind words. Mod it up!

I use a foldylock on mine. Yes, it did cost me about $90, but it is some *SERIOUS* security It will laugh at hacksaws and standard 24" bolt cutters. Sure the heavy duty 48" bolt cutters will defeat, (but it wouldn't be easy with the force required) it, but this is a professional tool. Not many people carry those around because they are 4 feet long and weigh upwards of 20 to 30 pounds. They are *HEAVY.*

Thanks for getting back so quick. Safe riding.

your handlebars look great, i think ill do the same for my bike the coolfly fat tyre ebike.good video and thanks for the handlebar idea.

Regarding theft, my solution was just to move from warrendale detroit to a a suburb outside of houston that is almost exclusively asians and whites, and there's basically zero crime. BTW, I recommend looking up something called "black reflexite tape". It looks black during the day, but at night it reflects like a bright white. Just safer.

If you had to guess, how much $ did you invest in upgrades so far? Thanks for the great video!

Appreciate the comment! Id say around 400 dollars for all the upgrades, the most expensive was the headlight and then the locks and handlebar coming in next.

Very good video! Now I'm gonna add a U-Lock to my chain lock!

Great video wish you showed how u wrapped the bike either way I am going to try that looks great. Thanks for the video

@S Y I really wished you would show us newbies how to get it done!!!

Thanks for checking the video out and commenting, thats a good idea for a next video...I may upload a tutorial on wrapping with a template.

Been looking to buy one these. Totally dig it .

Its an awesome value, I am still diggin mine :)

Will this handlebar fit the lectric 2.0 ST?

Thanks for the video. What brand chain lube do you use? Thank you

No problem, thanks for the comment! I like to use White Lighting Epic Ride Lube as it is a great all in one type of product. It lubes, cleans, and keeps parts waterproof. I have a link for the lube in the video description.

Fantastic looking ride!

Many thanks!

this bike is dope man, excellent vid thanks for making

Glad you liked it, appreciate the kind words!

thanks for the good advice , xp2.0 on order.

Sweet review & info. We did 14 mi yesterday on our new Lectric's yesterday ... so you didn't talk about your seat and didja get the seat suspension post????

Awesome...ride on! I got a memory foam seat that is pretty comfy and since I mainly ride on flat terrain the suspension seat post would have been a waste.

How long can you cruise 20 miles an hour while peddling on a full charge ?

I just have one question: How big a pain in the ass is it to change a flat on this thing? I'm a road cyclist and have been spoiled by quick release and co2 cartridges.

Its not too bad, just about the same as changing the tire on a regular bike with regular axles. Just loosen up the nuts to remove the wheel and disconnect the motor cable.

Outstanding! Great ideas!

Thanks for the comment!

Hi great video, do you think you’re handle bars will the Aventon Sinch, will it still be able to fold?, and which would you choose between youre handlebar and the ORIGIN 8 PRO RISE AL6061

Do you pay monthly for the SIM card services or do you buy the SIM card every month? I really liked that taillight gps feature.

Thanks...its great peace of mind when I leave my bike out in public. Its a pre-paid card, I paid for 6 months of service @ 5 bucks a month = 30 bucks. Got the card off amazon, just activate and its good for 6 months :)

Great review. Thank you.

Thanks for the kind words.

Can you do a video on how you changed the stock handlebar to the Velo Orange Handlebar? Will this Velo Orange Handlebar work on the LECTRIC XP Step-Thru 2.0?

You had to have used a shim to get the Lectric xp handlebar clamp from 31.8 to 25.4mm as listed for the new handlebar. What shim did you use?

@S Y Looking closer at the Klunker bar the rise makes the handle bar too high for me. The folding stem is already higher than I like. If I could get a shorter folding stem the Klunker might work otherwise I am looking a handbar that has less rise with grips that bend toward me like cruiser bike has. A Moustache shape might work

There was no shim needed, the Klunker handlebars have the same type of 'build' the stock ones do. The stock handlebars are 25.4 at the grips, but towards the middle, where the clamp goes, the handlebar actually is a bit bigger in diameter for clamping purposes. This is the same for the Klunker handlebars....the grip parts of the bar are 25.4, but towards the middle where the clamp goes, the handlebar diameter gets bigger.

Hey do you have a link to where you got your thumb throttle grip for the throttle. Not even sure how you call it but that one looks cool. Thanks.

@S Y Sick thank you so much.

Sure thing, I must have forgot to put it on the description...here it is: https://bit.ly/2XPzwp9

Good accessories.

I keep coming here to watch how the Velo Orange Klunker handle bar looks on the bike. Do you have any problems folding the bike now? Does it take up more space than the original stocked handle bar? How much did you paid for that Velo Orange Klunker? Do you have a link? Thanks!

Question: are all your upgrades waterproof as well?

The upgrades are all waterproof!

What service do you use for the GPS tracker? Great mods.

Thank you! Currently using Speedtalk Mobile, which is about 5 bucks a month for a GPS tracking SIM.

Do you use Flat Out or something similar? It helps small punctures a lot.

I used to use Slime but switched over to Flat out because it works better. Its great stuff for helping keep flat inner tubes away.

Great ideas!

Thank you!

does this handle bar folds too?

Love ur mods. I’m going to copy some stuff. Thx

Ride on bro!

@Tai C Glad I could help, thanks for the comment! A great tip is when you are applying the vinyl on the bike frame, be sure to use soapy water to help place the vinyl properly. This way the vinyl does not permanently stick until it is placed correctly and the water dries out :)

Me to with the vinyl blacking it out made it for me..... I wanted a diff bike just bc of the look but now i can just black out my lectric and im HAPPY! thx man

Great video, SY! I am expecting to get my WHITE and BLACK versions and thinking about vinyl wrapping them as well. How did you go about wrapping them? Did you have to wrap the whole bike or just hide the logo? Thank you~~!!

I made a template for the front half of the frame where the giant 'EXPERIENCE and LECTRIC' decals were. The rest of the smaller logos I just 'hide' them with a small box of black vinyl.

Thanks for sharing. Mine’s on order. Why did you black it out like that? Just curious.

@S Y Cool. Appreciate the info. 😊

@Kenny Ray The handlebars were actually pretty straight forward and easy to switch out. Just a few twists of an allen key for the stem then taking everything off of the handlebars which is pretty easy. The only hard part was the grips...I wanted to reuse them so I took them off using soapy water, Ive heard compressed air works really well; but I dont have a pump.

@S Y Ok. It does look good that way. 😊 I’m going to have to figure out whether I want to get different handlebars or the extension bar that I’ve seen on other channels. I looked for these handlebars online, and it looks like they’re out of stock right now. Was it difficult to put them on? Looks like there’s a lot to take off to get it done.

I just really like minimalist design aesthetics :)

Very nice bike my friend. ✊🔋

Many thanks!

Black out vinyl seems like a good idea. The Letric logo screams "I'm an ebike steal me"

I thought so too!

You mentioned fixing the tubes, are those the original tires?

Its a great bike. I bought a used one for 300

@Young Finance True, I know what you mean. Nice on the deal.

@RobertPaulson its not stolen. I bought it from an older gentleman. He had no use for it and just decided to get rid of it. I can tell when an item is stolen or not through the person's body language

@Young Finance That definitely sounds like a theft sale. 300 miles is nothing and the bike is $940 after taxes new.

@Fight Central it had 300 miles and it came with a battery and had no issues. I bought it from a guy on Facebook because he said he had no use for it so I offered him 300 and he accepted

Wow what a deal! How much miles were on it? Also any issues and did it come with a battery?

How is the horn wired? Or is it a self contained unit with its own battery that you charge?

@S Y sounds good

It is its own self contained rechargeable unit, the only wires that come out of it is the wire that connects the handlebar button for honking....Ive placed a link for the horn in the description

Nice Upgrades!

Thanks!

Can you fold the bike normal with the new handle bars?

Yep, it folds just like normal with the handlebar upgrade.

Nice!

Nice bike and accessories.

Thanks!

Bike looks cool but could not watch video as your recording levels are way too low. I could not hear you. Sorry man.

Can you please tell me what that motorcycle alarm is? That's crazy loud!

Its the Juiced Bike Horn/Alarm, its pretty awesome. It is an actual motorcycle horn that is loud enough to get traffics attention when needed. Heres a link to purchase: https://www.juicedbikes.com/products/juiced-bikes-horn Or you could get it on Amazon from my video description link. Accolmile sells the exact same horn/alarm on Amazon.

Sweet xp bro I just my white step thru but wait for the snow to melt in NYC to take her on her maiden voyage

@VertedMonk I am sure you will love it like the rest of us Lectric owners :)

Just ordered mine today

Oh man I bet you cant wait! I remember the wait for shipping and how excited I was...I cant imagine what you are feeling :P

Can you tell me the link for gps tracker you use

Sorry, I must have forgotten to post a link up in the description... Here it is: https://bit.ly/2KL6sMp

Loved us made

Could you post link where to get that handle bar. Like the shape and size. And which one it is that fits thank you

I posted all my mods and links to them in the description of the video. Here is a link to the handlebars. https://amzn.to/3pndFl1 - Velo Orange Klunker Handlebars

Nice

Thanks

Is it still going?

@luckyfire3 Sweet! Let me know how the XP likes the 52v.

@S Y I also have the Ali battery really happy with it. I ordered a 52v battery see how the xp will handle that

Yessir! Motor and bike still going strong and without issue, the only thing that I had to replace was the battery at around 5k miles of mainly only throttle use. The stock battery pack that came with the XP started slowly but surely started dying and getting more damaged as I was using it at around 5k miles. I purchased a replacement 14AH battery from Aliexpress because the one that Lectric sells was only 9.6AH...the 14AH battery from Aliexpress was 370 including shipping and the one that Lectric sells is 300 so I figured why not upgrade and pay a little bit extra...plus the Aliexpress battery used high quality Samsung battery cells, the same ones that Lectric uses. Had to wait about a month for shipping from China but it came thru. I am glad I upgraded to the 14AH battery as it lasts longer for faster speeds and for better range and I am sure my XP likes the additional juice :)

nice video

Thanks!

Where u get folding basket

Thnks sir

I've got a link for everything in the description of the video, here is the basket link again though: https://amzn.to/3aswbEf - Collapsible Folding Basket

If you have a basket on your bike you should be allowed to take your bike in a store it’s no different than a shopping cart. As long as your walking it not riding it in the store.

I am a new E-Bike, Soon to Be, 9/16, Owner. Do you have any + or - Opinion on wearing a Yellow Reflective Safety Vest, with a REAR Flashing Red Safety Light??

I don't find a need to wear a yellow reflective vest, I usually have my rear red led flashing safety light on at all times...along with my headlight running on low during the day/high at night and that's enough in my opinion. Cars have daylight running lights for safety, why not eBikes?

What kind of seat is that?

@Mark Steele Its been fairly well for its price, but since I've ridden it for so long the memory foam is starting to lose its quality. So I am now I am about to upgrade my saddle again.

@S Y Thanks, how would you rate the seat,is it comfy & good quality?

Its a Luxoton Memory Foam seat...must have forgotten a link in the description, here you go: https://amzn.to/3jX1DwQ

No offense, but you should have rotated the front tire to back tire a long time ago. And those u shaped lock I hate them, because if the keyhole becomes rusty or malfunctions you can't unlock your bike or ebike... happened to me with my regular 18 speed mountain bike, but I eventually kicked the shit out of the lock and somehow my key was able to turn it enough to unlock again. Also I use three wired locks (two are half inch) and will add a chain lock soon for my ebike, one lock just isn't enough security for me.

I think if you do another video you should invest in a better Microphone

That’s why I’m still not 100% with fat tire ebike. I want a solid tire or tubeless tire because I don’t want to deal with flat tire.
