- Test ride on my 500w electric bike With the new DNP 11-28 tooth freewheel. I show a side-by-side comparison from the old 14-28 Freewheel to the new upgraded 11-28 freewheel and the difference it makes on the rotation of the pedals going high speeds with my E-bike and also at slower speeds in first gear PAS1.

LOVE YOUR DEDICATION TO HELPING US ALL GET THE MOST OUT OF OUR XPs. Please take good care of yourself and stay safe. I know I'm a few months late seeing your video. BUT THANK YOU. I know you're probably still working to make things even better for us.
Thank you!
The new freewheel is a big improvement as you've shown. My problem with the original gearing is being able to maintain a good pace like 20 MPH using a lower step assist setting, the pedals are spinning so fast that it's hard to put any grunt into them to maintain speed while saving battery power. Thank you for this series Jeremiah, very helpful.
You’re welcome 👍
Thank you so much for putting your life on the line to make this video. It’s extremely dangerous to be going at this speed just using one hand and filming with the other. That’s why your are getting a big thumb up 👍
Since I live in a mountainous area, I swapped to an 11 - 34 gearset for a lower first gear as well as a taller 7th. The low gear is about 22% lower, and the high is about 27.5% higher. Lectric should have made this gearset standard since they use only one front gear (as opposed to two or three on a standard mountain bike).
Totally agree ! Have had nothing but problems with the original freewheel too.
It looks like it handles really well even at 25+ mph with smaller sized fat wheels. The folding pedals and frame make it a great commuter bike and now with an 11t sprocket you can get a full work out and a better ratio, thanks
Hey Jeremiah 👋 listen I just received my XP today and their wasn't a scratch on it and it went from Arizona to New York. Electric is doing a huge job with the packaging and tightening of everything. I'm serious they are fantastic !!! I thought that the bike was going to be kinda small. In person this is a hefty bike and its drop dead gorgeous!!! I haven't mounted her yet because I was changing the saddle and putting the alarm/ horn, side mirrors etc..
Awesome! Wait till you try it you’re gonna love it even more!
@@JeremiahMcintosh I believe it it was worth the wait...thanks on all the tips and accessories for the bike. I bought the same saddle and seat post too
Also I was polishing it up which she didn't really need and I was doing all those little things that you showed such as putting the little adhesives on the battery so as to prevent shaking noise, cleaning the rotor brakes w/alcohol pads, tightening all the nuts and bolts,using a white tire marker on the white lettering on the tires, mounting additional front and rear lights, mounting the kryptonite ulock on the back seat post, etc...
I didn’t own an ebike but after watching your videos and commitment to content you made it simple. Thanks you and be safe riding one handed got me nervous for you.
Nice video JMAC! Plese keep the videos coming.
Jeremiah, I appreciate you taking the time to post this instructive video. It saved me time and effort to get the work done. I replaced the stock freewheel with the DNP 11-34. That extra low gear will help me on the steep hills and if I'm running low on battery I'll be able to pull the hills if necessary. I've actually had situations in hilly terrain such as in old logged off forests where the trails are steep and rutted where a real low gear could be helpful, especially with a low battery. The extra high gear is really nice on the flats and downhill. Keep riding, keep safe!
Thanks Jim. How did the 11-34 work out for you were you able to use the existing chain and it work flawlessly?
@@JeremiahMcintosh I've not put many miles on it, but so far I think it's going to be a good upgrade. It really zooms on flat trails in high gear with Pas 5 . The low gear is probably not going to get a lot of use, but it's there in a pinch. I can pedal this beast up a pretty steep hill now where I couldn't before. I'll be able to pedal home with no power if needed .
The derailleur did take some adjusting to get it to shift into high gear smoothly but the chain is long enough and there's no problem with the factory drive train. It's working good now in all 7 gears. One thing I'd say is the factory Shimano set seems to be a bit more meaty than the DNP. I'll put some miles on it and see how it holds up. Cheers and be safe!
A year in, how would you say the 34 gear is doing? I'm considering putting a 11-34 instead of the 11-28 to help out on hills.
@@matthewstanko I've never regretted the upgrade. There are two hills where I like to ride that I can only pull with the 34 tooth low gear. Plus, in high gear on the flat or down hill I can get more speed at a more comfortable pedal pace with 11 . So, no regrets. I've swapped two others' bikes and they are happy too. 👍🏻👍🏻
@@JimBellamy that's awesome, in that case I'm definitely going to put the 11-34. You said you needed to do some adjustments on the shifter to accommodate a smooth transition from 24 to 34. What did you need to do?
I ordered a couple for our bikes which should hopefully arrive this week!
So excited. My XP step threw came in yesterday. got it unpacked and only got to ride it for about 5 miles. Can't wait to put some miles on it. I bought the rockbros bag off your link and the cloud nine seat as well. Installed them both right out of the gate. I can't get over how much torque. I am 270 lbs and it moves me really well. I got it in black. I ordered the blue wheel reflector stickers today. Man they really show up at night. Love all your videos. I have watched them all it seems. I think the freewheel upgrade is in my future as well but like you have said in the past, I think its more enjoyable on PAS 2 or 3. Its not a race and I want to experience nature. I have a Harley for fast. LOL
Awesome you’re going to love it! Thanks for the feedback it’s what keeps me creating these videos! I’m glad you found some of my recommendations helpful.

Hey Jeremiah great video as always. Check the Lectric XP Facebook Group Thread. Looks like you change P08 to 60 instead of 45 and the bike will top out at 35mph and throttle can go up to 28mph. If you have time see if it works on your Lectric XP as its working on the newer ones.
Thanks Louis! I believe I tried that before and it didn’t work but I’m going to check again.
Thanks. That was some well done job you did showing the before and after. Appreciate your hard work. I’ve been following your advice on mostly all your recommendations.
Thank you. I appreciate that!
Nice job explaining the different gearing between the two free wheels. Also it was very helpful showing the difference in peddling in the various gears. It actually helped me to better determine the best gearing for my ebike. Thank you. Keep up the good work!
Thank You Joseph!
Getting mines in 4 days, can't wait. Got the 11-28 freewheel as well but not getting until next month.
Same here...I think? That last notification they sent out kinda suggest that the May order could be a little later than originally estimated. I was told the tenth of May originally, but the last update was more to do with the April order arriving in than May. Either way I can't wait😁
@@mrwilly41 I'm so excited that I check the tracking number every 3 to 4 hours xD.
@@sergiorecinos2267 Okay ..You are ahead of me, Mine hasn't been sent out yet. Was your bike part of the May order? or April?
@@mrwilly41 April
Thanks for all of your efforts making these great videos!
You are welcome! Thank you!
Glad to see that you have the helmet this time. I noticed that a couple times when you were showing the rear cog cassette, you were in 6th when you said you were in 7th, Other times actually went to 7th. Might need to tweak the high gear limit screw on your rear derailleur. This is a problem I've had with my XP.. Good video. Thanks.
Thanks for the heads up I’ll have to watch my video but I’m pretty sure I went from sixth to seventh gear to first gear and then back to seventh gear?
I just ordered one, in part because of your reviews. Thanks!
Just curious what the ETA for delivery is now? I want to get one but missed out on the April pre-orders for May deliveries. Are they doing May orders for June deliveries?
Would be nice to get one before the summer is over! 😉
Dennis It will tell you on their site before you place the order if it is June delivery which I believe it is at this point.
@@JeremiahMcintosh dude how big is your front chain ring ?
I believe it’s a 52T chainring on the front.
@@JeremiahMcintosh that's nice. I have 48 14/28 and I already freewheel at around 18mph. So that's the upgrade I've been looking for. You seem to paddle to around 25mph.
I've been waiting patiently Jeremiah for this follow up video to see the actual results of changing out the components! You rode off and we didn't hear back from you in almost a week! Also please don't kill yourself by going off the road hitting one of those potholes while trying to get the best angle!
We need you to keep producing good content for us! 😉
Thank you sir and I’ll try not to crash! Yeah I know the anticipation and waiting for a whole week LOL sorry it does take a few days for me to make each video by the time I film and edit while trying to find spare time to do it.
That would be one expensive pothole if it threw him, damaged bike, smashed phone and road rash
All you guys that hold these cameras one hand going 30mph are nuts lol
My model c also came with a 14-28 shimano. It’s true that 11 would be better for traveling at high speeds, but what I’ve realized is that it isn’t very comfortable to maintain 23+, and also it uses way more battery. When I have a few thousand miles on it and it’s time to replace the cassette, chain and front chain ring, I’ll probably opt for an 11-28, but no rush. Thanks for the video! It’s something I was thinking about even before the bike arrived.
Just ordered this and found your video on UA-cam! Thanks for the video!
That's pretty cool how you were able to show the cassette changing gears I'm definitely going to get that cassette and put it on the rear of my bike I think it'll give me more speed and torque thank you for the educational video good job 👍🏼🚵🏻♂️🚴♂️
Just make sure you know if your bike has a freewheel or a cassette because they are different.
You should really install a mirror on the left side of the handlebar.
Just installed a bar end mirror on the left side of my XP today. The new freewheel soon.
Love your vids. I have 700 miles on mine since Christmas and Im having fun!!!. My favorite upgrade is the aftermarket 15.5ah battery I mounted on the rack.
Hey Luvthe lake, was curious about the 15.5ah battery. So, it's used now instead of the one in the frame of the bike right? And if so, I'd imagine you removed that one. Also, do you have a link for the aftermarket battery? Thanks so much..
@@jono5900 No I did not remove the stock battery, I use it often. I hooked them both up to the bike. I got parallel y connector and t style deans connectors w/cable for $10 bucks and the battery was $290 but had fast shipping ,I could of got them for $270 each on eBay. It took ten minutes to hook each bike up . I use both but the 15.5 battery I use most often for the speed and power . With the turn of a key I have a fresh battery. It doesn't allow me to add picks on here. You could stack two or three on the back rack and ride 100s of mile a day.hehe.. I ride 50 miles easy without worrying about a charge. Its a blessing and ease of mind too. My wife loves hers too.
@@rustymeyers1 Thanks man..that's awesome to hear. I just received and already assembled my bike this AM and am charging it as I type. I think my first mod might be swapping out the free wheel to a 11-28 as I know the spinning pedals is gonna bother me. I'm not at all electrically inclined so I'll prob try and find someone here in NYC to make 3 adjustments: Swap out the freewheel, connect a more powerful light directly to the existing electrical system and add an additional battery with your y connector mod. Thanks again for the idea....
@@jono5900 get a good seat post and seat and great stuff the tires. The rear tire is super hard to get back on the bike forks. Im not electrically incline either hehe. The battery is a super simple addition but kind of expensive. I like the battery power a lot..
you can slowly but timely pedal your pedals without adding leg power at a even speed and the bike will get to the top speeds.
Great job on this video. Thanks
Well-done Thank You !
You’re welcome!
The Kendra Kraze tires make it a lot easier to maintain 28mph because they have less resistance than the original ones. And they are a lot more puncture proof. They also have side reflection which makes them a lot safer in the dark www.radpowerbikes.com/products/kenda-kraze-20-x-4-25-tire . Mounted on my bike: ua-cam.com/video/tlF8A802kbY/v-deo.html
loving your videos, where you located? SE PA? always trying to figure out accents lol
Thanks Jeremiah for the great videos you create for us. I like the technical aspect of how you film about the Lectric. What do you know about replacing the computer and monitor screen? Seems there are some minor nags built into the computer and screen that comes with the bike. Let me know what you have found on replacing the computer. Thank you
Jeremiah, you nailed it with this video!
Exactly what a lot of people are looking for: to see how fast the peddling is at maximum speed.
Also very good you told the speed while on the bike.
Also the comparing with older video's...smart thinking.
Well done!
I have a similar bike but not a Lectric.
The online dealer told me I could not get smaller than 13.
Isn't the axle size and diameter cassette standard?
Do you have a link of the freewheel?
Thanks, great video.
Thank you. All the links are in the description of my videos.
Nice video, wonder how this mod differs from changing the front sprocket to 50-52 tooth. I guess that would change all the ratios where what you did maintain the low gear from climbing.
Pedaling downhill at 28 mph while holding a damn camera stick. I'm amazed he made it home in one piece.
Great video Jeremiah I always enjoy them
Thanks Donald!
thanks - yeah - recently got one and checking it out, to compensate for suspension I deflated tire pressure on tires - good or ad I don't know but it's not as bumpy, my biggest issue is peddling - I maximize my peddling to a point that is senseless so I just throttle up, I hate using the throttle but its the only way to maximize my speed cause the peddling low gears just don't cut it for me - - I use it to run errands and I want to hurry pp and get there and back but by using the throttle all the time - it drains my battery fast or more then I want - my objective is to use peddle assist to save battery power for longer trips without using the throttle that sucks my battery charge - I am thinking of incorporating your idea but going downhill seems kind of like cheating to maximize speed - a level surface would have been better because I can go downhill all day without even peddling :) , I use my bike for errands and not leisure. thank you for your video's .
Hey Jeremiah! Great videos! Ordered my XP on 4/30/2020. Can't wait to get it! I'm wondering how you, or maybe other subscribers, secure your XP bike when you go to public places? Or if you have a good locking system you might be able to recommend. Totally new to e bikes here but really looking forward to learning ropes. Keep up the awesome videos! they are very much appreciated.
I have a heavy duty kryptonite bike chain lock that I will be doing a future video on but it is pretty heavy at 10 pounds lol. 🥵
Patiently waiting for a 9-28 freewheel. 😂😂
Nice upgrade, is there a way to change the front sprocket?
Ok, time for the 26inch fork & bmx handlebar
Oh man thx for this. Excellent comparison showing cadence between the two, just what I needed! Hopefully it will fit the 3.0 (Amazon reviews are only for the 2.0). My only small debate is whether to go with the 34T low gear, like are there any downsides to it? Seems a very steep jump for the chain to make when going from 2nd to 1st gear. Also seems unnecessary to have such a high tooth count low gear on a bike with pedal assist.
Oh wait, I just looked up the specs on the 3.0, it's already an 11-28T freewheel! What now, bigger chain ring?
@pondacres no need to it’s geared correctly.
@@JeremiahMcintosh Personally, when I'm trying to push this sucker into/past 28 mph while in PAS 5, I start ghost pedaling at around 22 mph. If I had just a little more pedal there lol, getting this bike to like mid 30's or higher...would be pretty cool. But seems like I can't get any smaller than 11 tooth for the high gear.
Maybe you can get one of those Insta 360 cameras that's making its way around vloggers lately. It captures the whole 360 view and you can edit and rotate the view post filming. Looks like a drone footage.
Might be a little easier than having to aim the camera plus the rotating angles on edit look really cool
Thanks for the tip I’ve been checking those out! I would love to get one in the future if I get some extra cash!
You should replace the Chainring to a 58 tooth.
Why 58 tooth ?
Your videos are very helpful thank you for your effort
Thank You! I appreciate that and glad you’re finding them helpful!
I'm not to crazy with your wireless mic. Maybe you'd prefer the media mod for your GoPro.
This is one of my older videos, so not sure if I’m using the road wireless mic in this one or not but the media mod would be way worse when riding down the road and the camera being 6 feet away.
Hi I've followed your video on changing the freewheel. Now while my e bike is only 250 watt its still capable of 21mph slight down hill assistant 5 gear 7 and my legs going hell for leather. But maybe this because I have my wheel size set to 24 inch rather than 20 inch rim size, as fat tyres have increased the rolling size.. it would be interesting to see if your freewheel with a change to wheel size will give you a higher speed . Because I'm in England. United Kingdom legally we are only allowed e bike capable of 15.5 mph on public right of way. But I'm not saying anything (ha ha ) I as
I’m not sure because the tire size setting is locked on my Lectric bike 😢
@@JeremiahMcintosh hi I should have said my fat tyre ebike doesn't have a makers name only a supplier sticker, it is not an lectric though the only difference I can see with all these bikes is frame design and motor output. most other parts are the same, it is interesting that your programming is locked. With my programs the wheel size is one of the first followed by mph or kph than max speed settings yes a max speed limit I've set mine to
44 mph but I don't expect to ever reach that ( please don't think I've bought the most expensive bike, no this was the cheapest I could find £800 about the same in dollars. Thanks for replying stay safe live long 🚴🚵 cycling is good for the heart
Yes.. i think its more accurate for fat-bikes to set the speedometer to 24 inch for the 20 inch tires, because of the increased size... i read from someone else too, that did the same.
@@markreadman4414 Ecitybike A20 Fatty by any chance, I'm in Wales cruise at about 19mph on most trip's without any sweat or strain, coming up to the 300 mile mark soon, love this bike.
@@AndyMast666 yes 20A black /white rims, also got the wife 20B all white, because we both in early retirement though these would be better then the mobility vehicle we would be expected to have( ha ha) have to say I bought these from Lanarkshire ebikes a week before lockdown . So been limited to riding the local area.. (Maldon Essex where the salt comes from) I will say this these bikes are very good value and judging by the build quality I expect them to out live me! Hopefully next year we will be able to get away with our caravan and seek out some of those wonderful cycle route's this country has to offer
I actually just ordered an 11 28 for my wired freedom….I usually stay in psa 1 around 18mph….curious to see what my new pedaling / resistance would be….
I upgraded my freewheel too.. Huge different at higher speeds. Although most the time I try to stay in pas 3 at 10 amps to conserve battery.. But for short bursts or quick trips, and down hills its great. Anybody who buys this bike should not expect to go 28 MPH the whole ride. Your battery will quickly drain at that work load pulling 20 amps.. I find 12-15mph is the sweet spot for the xp most the time.
I WANTED TO SAY, CATCH YOU BREATHE, BUT THEN I REALIZED THIS IS AN OLD VIDEO. LOL!
This freewheel should be standard. I ordered one yesterday, along with a sweep back handlebar.
I agree!
Did you notice that on the first link you sent for the freewheel has a shipping cost by the seller of $35 in addition to the cost of the freewheel?
It was free shipping whenever I added the link thanks for letting me know I will update the link or remove it.
Hello, I would like to know when I should change my brakes on my lectric xp or are you going to have a video on that subject?
This would work well on the ancheer. Just a tip, you're pedalling with your feet too far forward , you should use the ball of your foot not the arch
Thanks
Thank you for the knowledge
Your welcome!
Hi, great channel - have you thought of adding a higher tooth chainring?
Really curious if the 34t version will make the derailleur interfere with the 20x4" fat tire since it will likely put the chain below the rim and close to where the tire bulges outward. Has anyone tried installing the 34t version on their 20x4" fat tire bike and have direct experience if it rubs on the tire when in the 34T gear?
thanks great video.have you seen any difference in the battery life on your ride
I’ve seen a slight improvement because you can still pedal over 20mph with this upgrade which saves some power.
@@JeremiahMcintosh thanks
Hey bro nice video, what do you think about an 11-34 teeth freewheel do you think it will add even more efficiency? Thanks your vids are appreciated
If you live in an area with hills the 11-34t would probably be better than the 11-28 that I installed but I’m not sure if it will work directly of if you would need a longer chain?
Can I get this upgrade right from the factory? Because where I live nobody wants to work on this bike.
They're afraid here in Ireland to work on any Chinese electric bike that has a throttle also, as they know insurance is not needed and so if there was an accident people would have so few options with regards to who to sue, they could decide to sue the bike shop that last worked on it, suggesting they were somehow culpable.
You didn’t see his install video? Looked easy...
Great job!
Thank you!
Could you send a link on how to get your helmet? Thanks.
…AND YET AGAIN YOU SURVIVED!!! THAT ONE HANDED DRIVING IS GONNA GET YOU…🤡💩🐒GOOD LUCK AND THANX FOR ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO!!!
well done video. nice backyard. where in the country are you?
Pennsylvania
This is good. This is what I was looking for. The original gearing on my 2.0 you run out of gearing about 20 miles an hour. Getting over 20mph, pedal cadence is too fast to actually put down power. Before I increased the speed in the controller I could feel the motor cutting out at 20 mph, Will the motor now start cutting out over 28 mph?
As long as you don’t use throttle. The motor will always cut out at 20mph while using throttle.
This is excellent stuff! What's the difference between a 11-28 freewheel and a 11-34?
11-34 would be better for steep hills
Hey Jer,, my bike and I noticed your bike too, once the bike hits 28mph the controller will cut power to the motor until it gets below 22mph,, you can peddle like hell but seems to just keep slowing down didn't matter up hill or down , I have a long long hill at my home and have tried this several times, and once the bike gets to that speed it happens, if you find out how to by pass the limiter on the bike it would maintain the top speed.. I'm still searching
Hi
Jeremiah Mcintosh. Can you tell me please what chain do you have on the bike? I have the same freewheel DNP and the old chain it's a little bigger for the cassette. I need a narrower chain.
I Just have the stock chain on my bike.
Hey Jeremiah love your videos. Any chance you can do a video on the battery? Size and specs. It looks like Mate bike and Same Bike have the same battery. It looks like the battery can be upgraded from 10ah to 14ah
You wouldn’t happen to have the overall size of that larger battery would you?
how about a 20ah 52v battery? I believe the controller can handles it don't you?
I’m not sure if the controller And motor can handle 52v or not?
@@JeremiahMcintoshI have't tried but you already watched this video? ua-cam.com/video/alHocJk7DHg/v-deo.html
@@JeremiahMcintosh I like your videos man I'm going to sub😀
Would you go with the 11-34 if you didn’t have hills but don’t want any ghost peddling or is the 11-28 plenty?
The 11 tooth sprocket is the one that’s going to make a difference for ghost peddling and the larger one only makes it easier for hills so if you don’t have hills in your area 11 to 28 would be just fine.
I tried to install the 11-28 freewheel but found out my Xp 2.0 doesn’t have the removable washer/spacer under the factory freewheel. Where the spacer should be, there is a flange/stepped area that is part of the hub. As such, the new freewheel doesn’t sit with the correct gap and the chain and derailleur are all wrong. Any ideas to correct this? I have reached out to Lectric for a solution but no reply yet. Btw, my ebike is only a month old and I don’t know if Lectric changed the design.
I just did an 11-28 conversion for my New G-Force T42 and on the 7th gear, the chain it's slipping under load. What could be causing that?
The chain may not be centered on the 7th gear and the derailer may just need adjusted.
you should change that selfie stick bro your gunna eat some bad shit one day
Wow, one handed u-turns while holding a camera on a stick! I would not try that!
Hi
I have been watching your videos and thanks very much and I have one question about using the headlight/tail light power to wire up USB charger kit to charge the smartphone,do you think that would work? Thanks
I don’t know for sure but doubt it will work because you need 5v for usb and the bike is 48v. Not sure how many volts the headlight and taillights put out tho.
I ordered 2 bikes in Feb supposed to be getting them this week except Electric Xp sent it to FedEx for shipping.. Big mistake won't see it till next month if I'm lucky..
also, the link on amazon for the Freewheel mod 11-28 is no longer available on Amazon. Do you have another link?
If you move your frame bag could it cover the Lectric logo or can you recommend a frame bag that does? That would be much better than putting vinyl over it or something similar to that.
I actually thought about buying a 2nd one to cover it up.
can i put a trailer on it./?????
Yes I would imagine you can, you may have to drill out the hole a little bigger on the wagon mount to fit over the axle or you can get one that mounts to the seat post. I’ve seen on Facebook that a few guys have done this.
Hi, I have the same bike and was wondering how you like the your bottle holder. Is it staying put with the clamp system. I'm having a hard time finding one that fits around the handle bar stem being that's is so fat.
Yes it has been working fine for me And I go over it a little more in my accessory video if you would like to check it out here. Lectric Xp E-Bike Accessories! Suspension Seat post and Cloud 9 seat upgrade comparison! ua-cam.com/video/3co2mgK-rLU/v-deo.html
There is a link in the description of my accessory video for the clamp And you can attach any bike bottle holder to it.
If you were to do it again would you consider the 11-34 instead? I’m going to order one soon. Thanks Jeremiah!
I have thought about the 11-34 a few times but to be honest where I live with the hills around my area I haven’t needed anything lower than the 28. One thing I feel it would really be good for is if you were trying to pedal the bike up the hill with out any motor assist like if the bike broke down or the battery was dead but other than that I’ve been happy with the 11-28
Jeremiah Mcintosh thank you! That helped a lot because I’m near the beach and it’s fairly flat here. I made sure to order through your links. Your channel has been a huge help!
Would this work on a 2.0?
Good job👨🔧👨🔧👏💗💯
My friend
Can a 11 speed sram upgrade be done to this bike?
Hello, j the cloud9 seat and satori suspension seatpost that you recommended are not available. Will this also work for my lectric xp? Cloud 9 cruiser anotomic saddle 50008 and satori Harmony suspension ASIN:BOOK1TJZPG. We weigh 130lbs & 160lbs respectively. Thanks for your advice in advance
If you’re referring to this cloud 9 seat amzn.to/2AX5JDb yes it will work And as long as the suspension seat post is 31.6mm in diameter it will work But I think they are all out of stock on those ones at this time.

Is it possible to simply swap out the 8th gear cogs from your old cog to your new cog or is the cassette a single unit?
No you can’t change just one cog because it is a freewheel and not a cassette. Freewheeled are one piece and screw on.
Great video, thanks! I tried to source the 11-28 freewheel, but that Amazon link has the shipping as much as the part and a long wait. Any idea of another source? I tried googling it. There's a letter "t" in some descriptions but not all. Your guidance please? Thanks again --

The t stands for teeth so you should be fine. The one you linked should work and here is another option that should work as well just keep in mind it is an affiliate link and I will make a small commission at no extra cost to you if it is used.

Hi, I'm considering buying the "Shimano Alivio derailleur RD-M410 7s" and "Shimano 7s cassette CS-HG41 11-28", would this fit you think? I can get both for $35. I've got an Engwe EP-2 bike which is almost the same as the Lectric.
I’m not sure if it would fit but my guess would be no on the cassette because it probably uses a freewheel like the Lectric.
Is the XP2.0 installation process for the free wheel basically the same re same nuts & bolts used on updated bike as previous version. Any procedural differences?
I’m not sure yet. The 2.0 seems tighter so not sure how it will fit on there because I haven’t taken the 2.0 apart yet.
Maybe someone who has can comment here if they have already changed their freewheel on the 2.0.
@@JeremiahMcintosh Thanks.
Are you still happy with the 11-28? Any problems?
Yep. No problems at all! Well worth upgrading especially if you ride at higher speeds.
Nice but they have the 11 34 t also what's the difference bro getting ready to pull the trigger??
11-34 would be better for steep hills but if you’re ok with 1st gear on the stock 14-28 on hills you won’t need the 11-34.
@@JeremiahMcintosh got cha ! Definitely the 11 28👍💪
Do you know of a faster freewheel? Something like a 7-speed 10-24? I’m having a hard time finding one
No I do not.
Would installing shorter cranks achieve the exact same thing?
No it would not. You would still have to turn the crank the same amount of Revolutions if all you did was change the Cranks.
@Jeremiah that suspension seat post is unavailable. Will Satori Harmony LT2 Bike Bicycle Suspension Seatpost 31.6x350mm work instead?
If you’re talking about this one then yes it will work amzn.to/30mSJiQ

@@JeremiahMcintosh what about this one it's cheaper Choose Suspension Seat Post 27.2 x 350mm 31.6 x 350mm Seatpost
This one will work also amzn.to/2ZHFZEq
Which ever one you select just make sure you select 31.6mm and it should work.

I am waiting on my bike to arrive soon and was looking for a suspension post. I was going to order the one on the Lectric website but they are sold out. The one you recommend is much cheaper but gets fairly low reviews. What are your thoughts?
I have no complaints on mine at all I would definitely recommend a different seat for sure that’s probably more important than the post in my opinion.Have you seen my accessory video?
@@JeremiahMcintosh I have. I also want a cell phone bag but don't think you have one. I already bought a cloud 9..
My frame bag actually holds a cell phone as well that Velcro’s to the top of it. Is that what you mean? There is a link in the description of my video if so.
@@JeremiahMcintosh i want the kind that fits on the center rail with a clear top and is weatherproof
Yes Dave that’s what mine has. Check out my link that says bike frame bag.
So just wondering which is faster the old or new gearing? 🙏 thanks
The different gearing won’t make it go faster but it will help you contribute your own power when you are going faster if that makes sense so essentially if you’re using your own human power yes the new one is faster.
Ok , so strange question, but how slow can this bike go , like for walking /biking a dog ? Or cruising around very slowly , like biking along with a friend who is walking ?
Also , can you take the battery out and charge it in the house or does it have to charge in the bike ?
Yes you can take the battery out and charge it in the house but it is a lot easier just to leave it in. You can turn PAS off and pedal manually a slow as you want or use PAS1 and set cruise control to whatever speed do you want then turn Cruise off and you could still pedal. I’ll show you that in this video here if you want to check it out.

Jeremiah Mcintosh awesome!! Thanks!!!
@Chukalux77++ Jeremiah Mcintosh has a video where he found out how to set a slow cruising speed in pedal assist 0 and he was still able to add a small amount of speed by pedaling just a little bit. After watching his video I tried it and it works! The slowest that I am able to set the cruise control on my Lectric XP is 2.5 MPH which is insanely slow. This is slower than walking speed (4 MPH) and it is quite a challenge to balance the bike while travelling so insanely slow. I believe being able to set cruise control to slower than 2.5 MPH would be a stupid thing to be able to do. Who would be able to balance a bike at a turtle's speed? By the way, if you try to set the cruise control to slower than 2.5 MPH, it just goes into walk mode which is faster at 2.9 MPH. To get into walk mode just long press the down arrow for 1 second. I have found out that walk mode is easier to get into than slow cruise and is better suited to biking along with non-motorized bikes. I just put it in walk mode and pedal slowly, hitting the brakes occasionally and the other bikers don't even know that I am using the motor.
How much more battery life would it give you putting this on?
Depends how much you pedal.
Did you use Shimano or DNP for the freewheel?
Mine is Dnp I don’t think shimano makes an 11-28 freewheel.
The links are in my video description.
How about a 11/34?
Yep that one would be better for steep hills!
After 2 years the battery is ok?
Yes
