I don't.

From further research it looks like the Lectric Xpedition seat pads and "orbitor" bars both work, but the bars mean you either need the seat post short or tall, it gets in the way of in-between with the stock seat/post.

I changed the freewheel to 11-32T, still a 7-speed. That gave me a wider gear range (lower low and higher high). The bike reduces power at ~25 MPH so it is difficult to reach 28 MPH. My cadence at 28 MPH ~95 RPM. After riding the bike for ~10 months, I find that I rarely want to go faster than 25 MPH. I get a speed wobble under acceleration at ~24 MPH, but that is just a minor reason for not wanting to go faster. I find that I use the bike more recreationally than I had expected. Riding with my dog in the front basket, I usually ride with no electric assist at ~6 MPH in 2nd gear at the same effort level as walking. I do wish for more speed when on the street with cars going ~35 MPH, but generally try to avoid roads like that.

It's marked "48V750W" which is what I expect. It's advertised as 750 watt with 1300 watt peak. That peak is based on the controller being rated at 25 amps max multiplied by the battery's topped off voltage of 52 volts. In actual riding, I see the current peaking at 23-24 amps so the peak is ~1200 watts. In the USA on public roads, e-bikes are limited to 750 watt (but there is little enforcement)

I'm not sure. I think so. Here is some closeups around the tires ua-cam.com/video/ZGdrC5RSBvw/v-deo.html

I would say "comparable". It depends on your priorities. I have never ridden the XPedition. I chose the A6 due to it having a front suspension fork (which is quite effective) and lower price. The main cons in descending importance to me are: 1. Speed wobble above ~22 MPH. Adjusting the stem tightness, stem angle, tire pressure and seat height helps, but I always keep at least one firm hand grip on the handlebars. It's not an issue at speeds under 20 MPH. 2. Top powered speed ~25 MPH. The controller reduces power delivery above that speed. 3. Lack of quality accessories. I have the front and rear baskets from AiPAS. Rear pannier is from Aventon. The panniers from AiPAS are not optimal for mid/long-tail and similar are available on Amazon at lower price. Phone holder did not fit correctly. 4. Mediocre customer support. They respond quickly but are not experts on the product.

33.9 mm. Sorry took me so long to reply. I had to remove the seat post to see the marking.

Yes the rear cargo basket can be installed in 4 different orientations where all 4 attachment screws are used, but all block removal of the rear battery. You need to remove the seat to remove the rear battery or install the basket with only 2 attachment screws and some zip ties.

I don't have access to Lectric Xpedition. They are very similar. The manual for the A6 is nearly a copy of the manual for the Xpedition -- including diagrams, photos and instructions for the Xpedition. The frame is different. The "Pros" such as front shock, quieter motor, brake light and internally routed cables in the front are real in comparison to what I have read and seen of those criticism of the Xpedition. (The turn signals on the A6 are not very effective.) Some "Cons" of the A6 are the steering is a bit twitchy/wobbly and the top speed ~26 MPH. I have not read nor seen criticism of the steering on the Xpedition. I have seen videos of it going to 28 MPH.

Thanks for the visit

I like it. The long range, excellent hill climbing and cargo capacity make it a good car replacement candidate. (My goal is to get rid of my car.) The quality is average for these 'direct from Chinese factory' type bikes. The quality control is not good, so you need to closely inspect everything. I'm comfortable tuning and adjusting most things on a bike and there is a bike shop 3 blocks away for the more demanding things. Customer support has been quick (responding next business day to my emails), but not very knowledgeable.

​@@hackman88do you have any plans to do a range test?

​@@t4hsoundsyea not really. I have been taking it on gradually longer rides. I don't want to fully deplete the batteries unnecessarily and the battery gauge is pretty inaccurate. My longest ride so far has been 14.5 miles climbing 1250 feet in 1 hour 15 minutes. The battery gauge remained at 100%.

​@@t4hsoundsyea Alright I have determined a range test protocol that works for me. I'll post a video on it in few days. The results of the first 2 tests are 16.7 miles on 80% of one battery and 17.7 miles on 80% of one battery. 16.7 miles on flatter route with long full power segments. 17.7 miles on slightly hilly route with more stop-and-go and more lower power levels.
