- A couple upgrades to the Lectric XPeak step thru has literally transformed my whole rider experience. Instead of feeling like I am sitting on top of the bike, I feel like am now part of the bike, and it feels awesome.

Almaden Park, love it, thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Glad you found a solution. I have always put this bike in a category like most of the fat tire e-bikes. Built for greenways, but can handle some light off road. At there price point it would be good for that. Great job letting others know what could be done.
Thank you. It is definitely riding 100% nicer then stock.
yeah I ordered one because I want a bike that can handle grabage level road conditions!
Just ordered my Letrick Xpeak. hopefully I will get it next week. Thanks for the video.
Your welcome. I think you will enjoy it.
Back order until the 20th
Great ride Lance. I’m happy to hear you are getting connected with e-bike companies🚴♂️ You have a nice channel and I look forward to you doing reviews. Exciting 😀
Thank you very much. It really is a good feeling. Hope you have a great weekend.
Great video! I have the same Lectric XPeak ST arriving in 2 days. At 6'1" 240 I also don't like how I normally feel like I'm sitting on top of the bike either. Ordered the handlebars on your recommendation. Also got a 90mm stem extender just in case, a SR Suntour suspension seat post and a nice seat all based on videos like yours. I may have overdone it. Oh well. I want to be comfortable. Thank you for the idea.
I think you made some good choices for comfort. Enjoy your new ride.
I love my XPeak High-Step 26”. I’ve been riding it for five weeks now and the ride is great. I added a soft cruiser seat which help a lot with my butt fatigue. Not ride related but I added a Lectric Pannier Bag the other day, a theft alarm and two mirrors. Thanks for your great ride video.
Can you post what mirrors and alarm you use? Thank you
Sounds like your having a great time with your new bike. Glad your not having any issues.
Nice video glad you found a fix that made the bike 🚴 better for you 😊
Thank you. Me too.
Glad it's working out for you!
Thanks. It really is much nicer now.
Nice ride and views Lance, its good you've been able to change the saddle and bars to make the bike more comfortable. The Suntour NCX seatpost is a great upgrade for any hardtail I use that on my bike, it works great with that cloud c9 saddle with the springs in it. It feels like bouncing on top a cloud for sure. Nice upgrades to the bike 👍
Thank you. The changes really do make it feel like a totally different bike, more like a real comfortable mountain bike.
Thanks for the info on the handlebars.
You bet!
I have had some of the same concerns. I like my suspension seat, I have not replaced my handle bars yet but will soon. I am also looking to extend the distance by adding a second battery.
Nice. The suspension seat makes makes for a much nicer ride.
I'm still watching, but what about the wobble?
No wobble since stripping it down. If I force a zig zag hard enough I can feel a little wave through the frame, but thats trying to force it myself.
I think he resolved it by taking the rack and basket off. It would be interesting to see if adding the rack and basket back one at a time, and see if the wobble comes back? Maybe the different seating position and wider bars will help the wobble situation in some way.
In the 80's the KZ1000 motorcycle was used extensively by police departments. Excellent motorcycles, they had problems in 'police trim'. The majority of the problems were caused by extra weight (police gear) on the rear of the motorcycle due to its frame design and front fork geometry
Thank you for the video. I appreciate it.
My pleasure!
Well done
Thank you.
For those who have heard there may be wobblers... I have the step over and I can haul 6 gallons of waters with no wobblers using the bags
Glad to here that. At least theres a way now for riders to carry cargo without the shakes.
I have enjoyed the XPLite for about 1 ½ years and just ordered the Xpeak for Father's Day and looking forward to getting on the trail. Can you give confirm the bars you listed are the 31.8-90mm Rise. TIA
Yes, that is correct. Have fun with your new XPeak.
Did you modify any of the wiring for the handle bars? Did you add any type of riser to the handle bars? Or are the handle bars enough rise in there design? Thanks for making this a little bit more user friendly for bigger dudes.
No wiring modifications needed. Just had to unravel some of the cable management for a bit more slack for the control pad. No added riser, the new bars I put on added 3.5 inches in rise attached to the existing clamp. I wanted to still keep somewhat of a mountain bike stance without being to upright. For me it has worked well and I am 6 foot tall.
This was my question as well. Was hoping that the standard wiring configuration would work. Doing mine next week. Let you know how it goes.
I also changed to gray 'Gizzer" bars
Putting on wider bars with a rise really makes a huge and more comfortable difference.
when you turn a "step thru" MTB into a cafe cruiser... ya know if it works for you that's cool
I will likely upgrade to a suspension seat post
Yeap. Love it.
Hey Lance, I am a modiefied XP 2.0'er with 4k miles over 2 years in your neck of the woods, next time I see you I will try to flag you down to talk :) Anyways, I am concerned with the foot strike on the XPeak but want to upgrade so bad because of that free $500 battery! Could you kindly measure form the pedal in the front position and the middle of the pedal to the tire in the possible strike position. I want to see if my size 12 can avoid it! Also, what is the bike weight without all the accessories, 67lbs like on website or less, thanks riz!
I will get you that info in just a bit.
I dont have a scale to weigh the bike, but for the pedals, its 3" from the inner corner of the pedal. This would be the part of the pedal that is the closest to the wheel. From the middle of the pedal it is 3.5" .
@@theridewithlance That seems incredibly close, I'll have to measure tomorrow. It has not become an issue for you? I wonder if the high step is an inch longer since the bike is a inch longer as the to battery and only 67lb fat tire eMTB is amazing deal. Anyways, I have a Lectric BMXP 2.0 (BMX handlebars, dual batteries super fun ebike, 2 baterries 67pounds only --- if I ever flag you down while riding the lake and creek trails, that is me!) Thanks, riz
If I put the middle of my foot on the pedal it hits. But I pedal with the balls of my feet so I haven't had the problem. I would assume you would gain an inch more of clearance with a longer wheel base.
Think you can add the fenders back think it more of the baskets
Fenders yes, baskets no. This is also is my setup for mountain biking, so I dont think I would be putting the cargo baskets back on.
You didn’t say what brand upgrade you used. I would like to use that similar model you used. I put a sun tour post on mine. I don’t know if you have watched Gary’s Adventures. He solved the wabble problem. I’m taking mine in tomorrow and have the Cane creek Hellbender 70 installed into my XPeak step thru.
I use the Suntour NCX seat post suspension with the Cloud 9 Cruiser Select seat. I say Garys video, but since I removed the racks the wobble is gone. I like this way since I use it for off roading riding and dont need the storage racks right now. If I get to the point of neeing storage in it then I will get the part Garys is talking about, but it would be nice if Lectric supplied these to all Xpeak owners.
@@theridewithlance I agree. I will be talking to Lectric about the fix. I took my bike in for repair like Gary did. Hope it works. Lectric should offer the service to be done. I’ve had mine for three weeks and decided to fix it before I start riding it. I did install the Suntour on mine as well as my 3.0. Works great. What did you do for a handle bar. I’m thinking about changing mine. Thanks Dennis Brown.
If you sell this as a mountain bike, why load it up with all that crap, like racks and baskets and fenders. Perhaps the boys at Lectric should take a hint and make the changes you did.
They want the bike to be marketed to hunters as well,the racks and baskets and even the fenders all are arguably necessary for that use case.
I think they were just incitements to help make a decision to buy. I dont think it occurred to them that installing the racks would have caused these problems.
What about the wobble and short pedal distance with the front wheel on the XPeak everyone is complaining about?
Wobble, at least for me is gone. Nothing I can do about the pedal distance. Removing the front fender does help with about two more inches of clearance, but you loose the fender.
Wobble is only with step thru model with weight on the rear rack…. The pedal distance is possible to hit your tire but really isn’t a thing. It never actually happens
@@nathancereska8215 so there’s a difference of opinion. I would say it’s probably an issue and no one should have to make compromises.
Okay, how about giving a link to the bars you switched to?
They are in the description of the video listed under "Ebike Items I Use On The Lectric XPeak" But here is the direct link to them: amzn.to/49nmUc4
Why did you take the fenders off?
For trail riding.
Never take both hands off that bike . You can possibly crash.
This was only done to see if the wobble stopped. I normally dont ride hands free, but do sometimes one hand it and use a light grip to reduce fatigue to the wrist and arms.
OMG I get that you love your new bars.How does their modified cadence sensor compare to a torque sensor?
I have not riden a bike with a torque sensor yet, but compared to the cadance sensor on my Zebra its "almost" a night a day difference. The rider has to put a little more effort into peddling as it doesn't go to the programmed speed in the PAS level you're in if you're just barely moving the pedals. It's a much more natural feeling.
