Thank you. I just rebuilt my
Xp 2.0 and I just bought an xpremium. Only 300 miles on it though. Looking forward to more videos.
That's awesome...hoping you love your xpremium as much as I do.
Thank you for this video. Just put the first 300 miles on my Xpremium. My rear break is getting soft to much play or maybe air in the line. Could you show us how to blead the hydraulic system?
Great suggestion...I will plan on that video. I have the kit to do it but I haven't had to do it yet. In the mean time, Have you checked your hose and connections? It does sound like there is something wrong with the line. I find it odd that all of a sudden, it has gone squishy. I will see if I can put together a video soon. Safe riding!
I just bought a lectric xpedition. Will these pads work, or do I need to order a different model pad?
unfortunately, I have not personally seen the pad on the expedition so I am not 100% certain. I image they should be similar, especially if Lectric standardize their parts inventory. Best is to check by looking at the existing and if it has the pin running through the side and it got the dog ear, then these styles will fit. Good luck.
@tai.randomthings thanks brother
Yes, buy ceramics.
I've watched parts 1 thru 3, part 2 twice; however, I wish that you would have experimented more with the 11-34 freewheel. Are we doomed to have to depend on Lectric to always provide a freewheel in the future? I do not yet own the XPremium but now maybe I will buy something else because of the lack of available freewheel options.
Hi Terry, I think I have answered the same question you posted on another one of my videos. I get what you're saying and it makes sense. I will experiment with the other freewheel. Choosing an ebike can be daunting. I know, I have 9 ebikes as I am trying to learn what works for me. In that process, I've learned that I cannot find a bike that does everything I want. It may be because the price point I am trying to stay in (less than $2K). I don't have the perfect bike yet but they all are better than my old beach cruiser. Freewheel is a big deal but I think the bigger question is whether you want a mid drive or a hub drive. Again, it's a lot of money so I want you to decide what's best for you. Best of luck and thank you for watching my videos. Happy riding!
@@tai.randomthings I would really like the mid-drive.
How do you find correct replacement pads? I have a Polarna M4 model with hydraulic brakes by DyIsland?? The Chinese can use brands unheard of, lol. And the Polarna is not your well known big ebike brand They work fine tho the adjustment screw for brake lever travel always works loose. So during ride, you find yourself checking them so they won't fall out. Discs are 160 cm rear and 180cm front
Unfortunately, if you cannot get the information from the original manufacturer, it may be a trail and error process. I do think they are pretty dang close if you get the support shape the same. In my case, one side had a half hoop so I looked for one that looked the same. I think they were a little different size but barely noticable and close enough and they worked fine. Look on amazon for a imilar size and shape and offers a return policy. Then physically compare when they arrive. If they don't fit, then return and try again. Sorry, I don't have a better answer for you. Safe riding!
