LECTRIC XP (02) PDF Document

The intended use of your LECTRIC XP eBike is to be ridden by one adult rider (age 16 and up) at an appropriate time and place for general transportation and/or recreational use. Any other use is prohibited and may result in serious injury or death.

Your bicycle is NOT INTENDED for off-road or mountain bicycle use, or for any kind of jumping. Some of these bicycles have suspension features, but these features are designed only to add comfort, not off-road capabilities.

Riders should be proficient cyclists (ages 16+), riding on paved surfaces where the tires are always on the ground, on roadways, or dedicated bicycle-only lanes where permitted by law (not on pedestrian-use shared lanes or sidewalks). Your bicycle should not be used to tow another bicycle.

Before and after each ride on your LECTRIC XP, you should perform the following safety checks:

☐ Before each ride, inspect your eBike for damage. If damage is found, do not ride.

☐ Verify that the front and rear axles are secure.

☐ Check that the front and rear tire pressure is within the recommended pressure range printed on the tire sidewall.

☐ Pull the brake levers to ensure the brakes are working properly.

☐ Visually inspect the bike for damage or anything out of the ordinary.

☐ Turn on the lights, especially if riding at night.

☐ Make sure all hardware is tightened to the recommended torque specifications.

☐ Verify that the frame folding latch is securely closed and locked.

☐ Verify that the stem folding latch is securely closed and locked.

☐ Check that the handlebar stem is inserted past the minimum insertion point. The minimum insertion point is labeled near the bottom of the handlebar stem.

☐ Check that the handlebar stem collar and clamp are closed and tightened to 6 Nm or till it leaves an impression on your hand.

☐ Check that the seatpost is inserted past the minimum insertion point. The minimum insertion point is labeled on the seatpost.

☐ Check that the seatpost collar and clamp are closed and tightened to 18 Nm or till it leaves an impression on your hand.

☐ Check that the seat cannot be twisted out of position, and set the height to a safe position that makes it easy to mount and dismount the bike.

☐ Make sure the pedals are locked in a flat position.

☐ Check the condition of the chain to see if it needs cleaning or lubrication.

☐ Wear a helmet and high visibility clothing.

☐ NEVER exceed the maximum total weight limit of 330 lbs. (150 kg). The rear rack can hold a maximum of 150 lbs. (68 kg). As an example, if you have 40 lbs. (18 kg) of cargo, then the maximum weight of the rider would be 290 lbs. (131 kg).

☐ Only carry the cargo you need. More weight will drain the battery faster and affect how the bike handles.

☐ Ensure all components are properly secured.

☐ Make sure your battery is fully charged.

When you unbox your LECTRIC XP, you should find the following items:

• Lectric XP eBike

• Lectric XP eBike Charger

• 2 Battery Keys

If anything is missing or is damaged, contact Lectric eBikes immediately for assistance.

Your LECTRIC XP’s serial number is located on the head tube of the bicycle. You should write this number down and keep it for your records, as it may be needed for a warranty request or if your bicycle is stolen.

To Unfold:

1. Pull each pedal out until you hear an audible click as they lock into position.

To Fold:

1. Grasp the pedal and push lightly toward the bicycle.

2. Continue pushing while raising the pedal into its folded position.

3. The pedal will click into the folded position.

To Unfold:

1. Begin with the handlebars in the folded position.

2. Pull the handlebar stem to its upright position.

3. Push the latch in firmly until it locks in position.

4. Pull on the latch to confirm it is locked and the handlebars cannot fold.

To Fold:

1. Pull up on the silver button labeled “open” to unlock the latch.

2. Pull the latch away from the stem while still holding the “open” button.

3. Fold the stem by lowering it to the side.

To Unfold:

1. To unfold the bike frame, stand near the frame where the battery is exposed. Grab the stem and rear end of the bike. Lift the bike slightly off the ground and swing to the closed position.

2. Push down the latch firmly until it locks into position. Pull on the latch to confirm that the latch has locked and that the frame cannot fold.

Note: Remove the battery terminal cover before unfolding your bike for the first time.

To Fold:

1. To unlock the bike frame and return it to the folded position, start by sliding the switch labeled “open” to the right.

2. Pull the latch while still holding the switch to the “open” position. You may now fold the bike.

To adjust the handlebar height on your LECTRIC XP:

1. Select a height that is comfortable for you. DO NOT extend past the minimum insertion point marked on the stem.

2. Unlatch the clamp.

3. Move the handlebars to the desired height and close the clamp.

4. Re-tighten the stem clamp to the recommended torque (10 Nm).

Always insert the telescoping stem past the minimum insertion point. A stem that is positioned too high can damage the bike and can cause you to lose control and crash. Always tighten fasteners to the correct torque to prevent serious injury or death.

To achieve the correct seat height on your LECTRIC XP:

1. Sit on the seat.

2. Place one heel on a pedal.

3. Rotate the crank until the pedal with your heel on it is in the down position and the crank arm is parallel to the seat tube.

If your leg is not completely straight, your seat height needs to be adjusted. If your hips must rock for your heel to reach the pedal, the seat is too high. If your leg is bent at the knee with your heel on the pedal, the seat is too low.

To adjust seat height:

1. Loosen the seatpost clamp.

2. Raise or lower the seat post in the seat tube. ALWAYS insert the seat post past the minimum insertion point marked on it.

3. Check that the seat is straight before and after.

4. Re-tighten the seat post clamp to the recommended torque (18 Nm).

Front and back adjustment: Loosen nuts on both sides of the seat. Make sure the clamp mechanism is clamping on the straight part of the seat rails and is not touching the curved part of the rails. Ensure that you are using the recommended torque on the clamping fastener(s) (20 Nm).

Seat angle adjustment: Most people prefer a horizontal seat, but you may prefer the seat nose angled slightly up or down. Loosen the clamp bolt to allow any serrations on the clamp mechanism to disengage before changing the seat angle, and to fully re-engage the serrations before you tighten the clamp bolt to the recommended torque (20 Nm).

Your LECTRIC XP comes with a 7-speed freewheel. While pedaling in 1st gear (lowest gear using the largest sprocket), it will be easier to pedal up hills. In 7th gear (highest gear using the smallest sprocket), it will be easier to reach higher speeds on flat or downhill terrain.

• To shift up: Press the lower button marked with the plus (+) sign.

• To shift down: Push the upper lever marked with the minus (-) away from you.

The right handlebar on your LECTRIC XP features a half-twist throttle. To operate it, check that the Pedal Assist (PAS) level is set above 0, then twist the throttle back slowly to achieve your desired speed and acceleration.

Your LECTRIC XP is equipped with hydraulic disc brakes.

• To brake the rear wheel: Pull the right brake lever to activate the rear brake.

• To brake the front wheel: Pull the left brake lever to activate the front brake.

For safety, ALWAYS apply the right brake lever (rear wheel) before and during use of the front brake. ALWAYS apply even pressure to both brake levers when slowing down or stopping. If only the front brake is applied while slowing or stopping quickly, you may be ejected over the front handlebars.

Note that disc brake rotors will become hot during use and will stay hot for a short period after use. To prevent burns, do not touch the disc rotor right after use.

You can adjust the suspension fork on your LECTRIC XP to suit the terrain and your weight.

• To increase stiffness: Turn the black knob clockwise towards the “lock” direction indicated.

• To reduce stiffness: Turn the black knob counterclockwise towards the “open” direction indicated.

• To fully lock suspension: Turn the black knob clockwise towards the “lock” direction indicated until it cannot be turned further.

Your LECTRIC XP comes with integrated front and rear lights.

• To turn lights ON: Hold the plus (+) button on the display control pad for about 3 seconds until the lights turn ON.

• To turn lights OFF: Hold the plus (+) button on the display control pad for about 3 seconds until the lights turn OFF.

Pedal Assist (PAS) on your LECTRIC XP functions only when you are pedaling. If you do not pedal, the PAS will not activate. The motor output always depends on your pedaling and the PAS level you have set.

PAS automatically switches off at the maximum speed set for your eBike (up to 28 mph). When the speed falls below the maximum set speed, PAS automatically becomes available again.

You can also use your LECTRIC XP as a normal bicycle without assistance at any time, either by switching the Cockpit System power button OFF, or by setting PAS to 0. If the battery needs to be charged, PAS will not function.

The range your LECTRIC XP can go on a single battery charge can vary significantly. The following table shows estimates based on specific test conditions (Flat ground, few bumps, little wind, 20 mph top speed, ~30 PSI tires, few stops, no cargo, ~75°F, ~180 lbs rider, 10.4 Ah Battery).

To get the maximum range out of each battery charge on your LECTRIC XP, you can do the following:

• Ride at a lower PAS level.

• Use lower PAS levels and pedal when climbing hills.

• Pedal when starting from a standstill.

NOTE: The trip meter, as well as maximum and average speed, will reset when the bicycle is powered OFF.

To change display settings, hold the plus (+) and the minus (-) buttons simultaneously to enter the Settings Menu. Press the power button to toggle between each numbered setting. To adjust the value of each setting, click the plus (+) and the minus (-) buttons as needed.

You should only change the settings listed below:

Your LECTRIC XP ships as a Class 2 eBike with a maximum speed of 20 mph. You can increase the top speed to 28 mph (Class 3), but you must ALWAYS check your local laws and regulations to determine if it is lawful to ride Class 3 eBikes on public roads before doing so.

If you increase the top speed, you must remove the Class 2 label and reveal the Class 3 label underneath. The label is located under the carry handle, near the seat tube.

To increase maximum speed:

1. Press and hold the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons on the control pad simultaneously until the screen says “P1”.

2. Press the power button on the control pad to cycle through the settings.

3. Go to setting “P08” and change this value from 32 to 100. NOTE: This setting represents the top speed in kilometers per hour. For Class 3 performance, this setting will be set at 100, indicating the bike has been completely unlocked to enable speeds of up to 28mph.

4. Press and hold the plus (+) and the minus (-) buttons on the control pad to exit the Settings Menu.

5. Power the bicycle OFF by holding the power button to save the settings.

Walk Mode can be toggled on or off in the settings menu (P21). Check your local regulations to determine if this mode is allowed.

• To activate: In PAS 1-5, hold down the minus (-) button on the display control pad. The motor will engage at a speed similar to a slow walk. “Walking” will appear on the display. ALWAYS keep wheels in contact with the ground when using Walk Mode.

• To deactivate: Pull either brake lever to disengage Walk Mode OR press and hold the minus (-) button on the display control pad.

Cruise control on your LECTRIC XP will try to maintain a speed based on the position of the throttle when it was activated.

• To activate: Hold the minus (-) button while twisting the throttle. For lower speeds, only slightly twist the throttle while holding the minus (-) button. “Cruise” will appear on the display.

• To deactivate: Pull either brake lever to disengage Cruise Control.

It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that any passenger or cargo does not interfere with the rider’s ability to safely operate the bike. Check local regulations to ensure carrying a passenger or cargo is allowed.

Payload Capacities:

• Bike total maximum payload: 330 lbs (150 kg)

• Rear cargo rack maximum payload: 150 lbs (68 kg)

• Foot pegs: 39 lbs (18 kg) per side

Rules for Carrying a Passenger:

• A passenger incapable of riding a bike on their own should not ride as a passenger.

• When carrying a passenger, you must have the foot pegs, an appropriate seat, and the rear fender installed.

• Follow all stated weight limits. Increased weight will increase braking distance.

• Both rider and passenger must wear a properly fitted and approved helmet.

• You MUST hold onto the bike when loading a passenger. Do not rely on the kickstand.

• Ensure the passenger sits over or forward of the rear wheel axle.

• Do not allow passengers to sit sideways, backward, stand, or kneel on the rear rack or foot pegs.

• A passenger should sit on the rear passenger seat, hold onto the passenger handlebars, rider’s hips, or waist (not shoulders), and keep their feet on the foot pegs when the bike is in motion.

• Instruct passengers to brace for bumps and be prepared for turns and braking.

The acceleration of your LECTRIC XP may feel faster than anticipated. Before your first ride, use the lowest level of pedal assist (PAS 1) and practice starting, stopping, cornering, and navigating obstacles in a safe environment away from others.

To start your ride:

1. Insert the key and turn it counterclockwise to the ON position. The key will be parallel with the frame and must remain in the bike to use.

2. Hold down the power button on the left handlebar until the display comes on.

3. Select a Pedal Assist (PAS) level using the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons. PAS 0 provides no motor assist. PAS 1 is the lowest level of assist and PAS 5 is the highest.

ALWAYS be seated on the bicycle and engage at least one brake before starting to pedal. Do not place one foot on a pedal then throw your other leg over the bicycle, as your eBike could accelerate unexpectedly.

To end your ride:

When the bicycle is at a complete stop, press and hold the power button to turn the display OFF. This ensures the motor will not activate until the display is turned ON again.

To prevent serious injury, death, or property damage, follow these guidelines for your LECTRIC XP battery pack:

• Only use original Lectric eBike batteries for your eBike.

• Do not leave your battery unattended while charging.

• When removing the battery, unplug the rubber stopper on the charging point.

• Always charge your battery in temperatures between 32°F – 113°F (0°C – 45°C).

• Operate your battery at temperatures between 32°F – 104°F (0°C – 40°C).

• Avoid contact with battery liquid. If it contacts skin, wash with soap and water. If it contacts eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.

• Always remove the battery from the bicycle when not in use.

• Do not submerge the battery in liquid or touch the terminals.

• Turn the display OFF before removing the battery pack.

• Do not puncture, crush, or impact the battery pack. Do not use a damaged battery.

• Protect the battery pack from heat, fire, and water.

• Do not open the battery. Opening the battery voids the warranty.

• When not in use, keep the battery away from small metal objects that could cause a short circuit.

• Only charge the battery using original Lectric eBikes chargers on a fireproof surface.

• Always turn the display OFF before removing the battery pack.

• Always remove the key from the battery pack after each use.

You can charge the battery while it is in or out of the bicycle.

To Charge:

1. Plug the cable from the charger into the charge port on the side of the battery pack.

2. Plug the charger power cable into an electrical mains wall socket.

Charging Information:

• Before each charge, check the charger, cables, and battery for damage.

• Always charge in a safe, cool, dry, indoor area away from direct sunlight, dirt, or debris.

• The battery can be charged on or off the bike.

• Charging normally takes 4-7 hours.

• The charge indicator light will be red while charging and turn green when complete.

• Remove the charger from the battery within one hour of the green light indicating a complete charge.

• Never charge a battery for more than 12 hours at a time and do not leave a charging battery unattended.

After charging is complete, disconnect the cable from the battery port and power cord from the wall socket. If you charged the battery in the frame, re-insert the rubber plug into the charge port.

The battery has 3 key positions: UNLOCKED, OFF, and ON.

To install:

1. Fully insert the battery pack into the bicycle frame with the key removed. The locking pin will be retracted.

2. In the UNLOCKED position, insert the key into the battery through the hole in the bottom of the frame. Push the key in and twist it to the desired position.

3. Turn the key clockwise to the OFF position. You will hear one audible click, and the locking pin will protrude through the frame. The battery is now secured, but power is not active.

4. Turn the key further clockwise so the key is parallel with the frame. This is the ON position. The bike can now be turned on.

To uninstall:

To unlock the battery and remove it from the frame, follow the installation steps in reverse order. Be sure to remove the key from the battery before removing the battery from the bicycle. If the key is still in the battery, it will prevent the battery from being removed from the frame.

Bike Storage:

Protect the Drive Unit, Cockpit System, and Battery Pack against extreme temperatures (e.g., from intense sunlight without adequate ventilation). Extreme temperatures can cause damage.

Battery Storage:

When the battery will not be used for weeks or months, remove it from the eBike and store it at about 60% charge. Every 2-3 months, check the battery charge level and recharge to 60% if necessary.

Store your battery pack in a dry, well-ventilated place that is:

• In a room with a smoke alarm.

• Away from combustible or easily flammable objects.

• Away from heat sources.

Operate and store the battery at temperatures between 32°F – 104°F (0°C – 40°C). Leaving the battery installed on the bicycle for long-term storage is not recommended.

To prevent serious injury or death when transporting your LECTRIC XP:

• Always remove the battery pack before transporting your eBike on a bicycle rack mounted on your vehicle.

• Always use a bicycle rack that is compatible with your eBike and has sufficient weight capacity.

• Never attempt to use a roof-mounted bicycle rack. ONLY use hitch-mounted racks.

• Always use proper lifting techniques. Electric bicycles are generally heavier than standard bicycles.

If your LECTRIC XP will not turn on, try the following solutions:

1. Charge the battery until the light on the charger turns from red to green. This may take up to 8 hours.

2. Insert the key in the battery and turn it counterclockwise to the ON position, or until the key is parallel with the frame. Then press and hold the power button to turn ON.

3. Follow the cable coming from the display down to the quick plug. You may need to unravel some of the plastic wrapping to access it. With a quick pull (do not twist), unplug the quick plug, inspect both sides of the plug, and reconnect by lining up the arrows on both ends. After checking the quick plug, press and hold the power button on the display control pad to turn on.

If the pedal assist or throttle on your LECTRIC XP is not working, try these steps:

1. Check that the PAS level is set between 1-5.

2. To test if PAS is working, do not operate the throttle.

3. To test if the throttle is working, do not pedal.

4. Check all quick plugs.

If the charging indicator lights do not illuminate, follow these steps:

1. Check that the cord is connected to the charger.

2. Check for power availability at the main plug location.

3. If the battery still does not charge, unplug and contact Lectric eBikes for assistance. Do not attempt to repair the cord or charger.

If the charging indicator light on your LECTRIC XP is always red, the battery pack may be defective. Contact Lectric eBikes customer support for assistance.

Regular maintenance will keep your LECTRIC XP running smoothly and safely. You should have your bicycle serviced at least once a year by a bicycle repair shop.

100 Mile Tune-Up:

After 100 miles, or 5 full battery charge cycles, have the following services performed at a bicycle shop:

• Shifting cables will stretch during the wear-in period. The derailleur may need to be adjusted.

• All hardware should be adjusted to the specified tightening torque. If any hardware is damaged, it may need to be replaced.
