      Just got the 3.0 and it's awful for people who were fans of the throttle only performance. It only goes 18.5 mph on throttle only and feels like the motor is to weak to go up hill.
      The 2.0 was way better.

    For in-the-field repair, loosen off the bracket bolts, rotate the tire and slowly squeeze the brake lever. The pads will stop where the rotor touches. Keep holding the brake lever, tighten the bracket bolts and voila - done. Rotate and test. If still squeeking, repeat the procedure. Usually only takes 1 to 2 attempts.

      I just received 2 of these bikes today, and investigations are in the works to learn everything mechanical about them. As a master mechanic, my initial thought was to allow the pressure of the pads to act as the centering/parallel alignment device. Eyeballing a gap is not something most people can do "precisely." Tomorrow will be my tune-up setup day before we commission these bikes, so the brake noise is certainly one of my initial test ride observations.

    Best solution I found, is replace the calipers with hydraulic cable driven calipers. Works amazing

  • @jaygee269

    Every time I used to brake it made a really loud squeak. All I did was sprayed a half a can of brake cleaner on the rotors and that made the brakes much quieter.

    I feel like you read my mind. I'm thinking if getting a ebike myself and I had alot of questions about that and you just posted this. Thank you so much for all of this information it was very helpful to a newbie who is going to soon join the lectric squad 😅. Please do continue to upload more videos because this was awesome.

    I received my new XP Lite last week. I’m glad I have a small pair of angle cutters to cut all those zip ties from the packing. Bike arrived fine and operated perfectly, including no squeaking. I did notice the back tire was slightly crooked relative to the frame front to back. I figured if I try to align the wheel, the brakes would need some major adjustment. I’ll wait until I need to adjust the brakes to fix it.

    I need help just received my Lectric xp 3.0 and when pedaling my pas keeps cutting in and out then stop working. I turn off the bike then turned it back on and it starts working again, then back to cutting in and out. I know I will call the company when they reopen on Monday but seeing if anyone knows what’s going on.

  • @VictorYepello
    @VictorYepello Год назад

    My question is about contamination. I can get the squeal quieted by using the squeal out product. It works but eventually comes back and my guess is that the act of riding through a simple puddle of dirty water can bring it back.
    I've tried the pads and rotors and I even installed Maura MT5e full hydraulic and nothing makes it go away for good.
    My first eBike was a specialized Turbo Vado and it never squealed. I'm not sure what made that system impervious though it did use Shimano hydraulic brakes.
    Thanks for a good video.

    • @EbikeEscape
      @EbikeEscape  Год назад +1

      Were any of the components the same? You need to replace both the pads and rotors all at once and not use them together in anyway.
      The "Squeel Out" could also wear away with heat from braking over time

    • @VictorYepello
      @VictorYepello Год назад

      @@EbikeEscape yes all components replaced.n
      So this afternoon I did my regular bike wash except this time I first used an automotive brake cleaner then washed the bike as usual. The squeal quieted 💯💯.
      So now I'll see how long it lasts.

    So, if the bike is brand new and it’s under warranty. Do you send a bill to the company and they will reimburse you?

    • @EbikeEscape
      @EbikeEscape  Год назад

      From my perspective no ebike ships perfect. I look at it from the point of view of a bike shop. If they receive a bike to sell at their shop they have to go through the same process someone would go through if they were buying a DTC bike. That includes dialing in the brakes and derailleur.
