Thanks so much. Will be adjusting my bike folding latch immediately. I had this exact XP 2.0 that unlatched while riding just this week. It was the most petrifying experience I've had riding any bike. I couldn't understand why it happened 2nd time in the same trip. Especially since I had double-checked the 'secondary' latch. I would hardly say it was from wear in my case. I estimate it has folded 15-20 times in the 10 months I've owned it.
Hi, I put a Black Zip tie over the handlebar latch just snug enough I can slip it off in case I need to unlatch it. But insure it will not allow the latch to open. 😎
When riding over minor road bumps, I was getting an annoying rattling that seemed to be coming from the handle bar stem latch area. I just tightened up the latching mechanism as you described in this video and, VOILÀ, no more rattling. Many thanks, Chris.
Well. . . I declared victory over the ratting too soon. The aggravating clacking was coming from the upper end of the battery rattling against the battery case. Solved it by sticking a few coin sized pieces of fuzzy Velcro on the bottom and two sides of the upper end of the battery. Now it’s padded and the clacking is gone. Evidently this is a known issue and lectric has a silicone shim to alleviate the problem. I may get it if the Velcro ever wears out. Anyway you may want to add that to your knowledge base.
I will be adding as much as I can to the Rad Expand playlist. Is there anything specifically you want me cover? I almost have the panniers bag video complete
I don't have a lectric but do have a generic folding bike and have always thought about the scenario of either the folding stem opening or the main fold opening on a ride. My bike isn't as thick as this lectric but the latch is pretty much similar, i'll be going to check all my screws before my next ride. I've actually ordered a new ebike that isn't a folding model because when riding 30mph, i rather not be on a folding bike.
I live in a high rise with an elevator I'm never folding the bike or taking the battery out I really don't like the key hanging out the bottom. Great video 🚴
Just did my bike before I watched this video, oops. But on the handle bar I saw a set screw that looked like a good idea to loosen first before you turn the black bar out, then tighten the set screw back up. Not sure if there all built that way or not. Thanks
@@shizz1e79I think you would also need a new controller. It would be fun to do from a mechanic point of view. Cost wise, I would maybe just opt for the Xpremium. If you try it out, let me know how it goes
I understand how latches work, I'm paranoid knowing all thats keeping my Bike from folding is that little locking screw, if I'm riding rough trails and shear that pin my bike folds over a big bump or small jump, also the stem latch can shear from the same actions, I never fold my XP to transport, I'd like Lectric to make a non folding Aluminum frame XP with a drop out battery
I don’t know what I’d do without your UA-cam page… you’ve been a lifesaver on multiple occasions

That's a scary experience, hopefully you can keep them tight now 👍
Same stem latch as the Wisper 806. Thanks for the advice.

Great Tip. Can't be too careful 👍

Good to hear Mark! Rattling noises can be super frustrating and loose latches can be a safety issue.

@@markwagner6353 Good to know, thanks Mark
Thanks for all the info. I just bought one
Congratulations Luis, it's a lot of fun!
Again, thank you very much for this video
No problem Mr. Tocdai, I had many folks asking how to do this. 👍
Great tip. Thanks for sharing. Always enjoy your vids. Thanks
👍😁
I can't wait till they get their new Bikes in stock xp 2.0 lite jw I ordered June 5th.
Thanks. Hope you can do these maintenance videos together with the Rad Expand as well.

@@PedalWithPower Nothing in particular. I’m just learning as much as I can about these bikes through your experience owning them. Thanks.

I hear ya, Charlie. Good idea to double check your folding latches and for that kind of speed, a non folding ebike sounds safer.
This was much more helpful than your brake adjustment video. Thank you.
Thanks very much for this! Mine has been much looser than yours almost since I first got it. No more though.
Glad to help, Jay!
You could rename this (and most other folding bikes) 👍

I hear ya. The key placement could've been better.
Saved my ass🎉

I just received my 3.0xp where the battery connects the casing won't close like somethings holding back not lock its self
Can’t snap the stem clamp. Small screw thread is blocking closure. How do I fix this?
I have Lectric Xp 2.0 that seems to be too tight and will not release.
You forgot the 2nd screw in the frame latch. It's the one for the catch that locks it closed.
Thanks for the heads up
Let’s front hub motor install!!
I'll look into it. Not sure if it's worth the cost
@@PedalWithPower it’s like 250 for the motor and like 300 for the battery. What do you think?

@@PedalWithPower I don’t like the mid drive response.
