Lectric Bike XP ~ Your first "Must Do" upgrades (under $75)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2024
- These are what I consider the first 2 upgrades you must do for the Lectric Bike XP. A new extra wide seat and suspension seatpost. These 2 ebike mods are under $75 total and will make a HUGE difference in comfort for your Lectric Bike XP riding experience. The Lectric eBikes Lectric XP is one of the most affordable folding fat tire electric bikes I could find and it had great reviews. If you really do no other upgrades to this bike, I'd recommend the upgraded seatpost and extra wide seat.

Steve, you've got the seat post turn backwards. The seat rail adjustments screws should be on the backside of the seat. 🤣 U r right about the upgrades, I did the same on my wife's and my bikes. It made a world of difference. Also, running with 20 psi in the tires help too.
Ok thanks. A bike expert I'm not. I think I have my tires at 30 but I will experiment.
Waiting for my XP, will invest in the seat post and big butt saddle. You the man!. Peace.
Thanks Steve.
Great video! Thinking about getting one myself.
You should!
Very COOL,just ordered new seat and just got a zoom suspension post delivered yesterday
Dude! I love that seat! That's a really good idea, and im sure it is a lot more comfortable than the original one that came with the bike.
I have so many comments but none of them are appropriate so I’m just going to hit the thumbs up and move along.
Thank you for holding your comments. I don't want RUclips to ban my channel just yet.
seems to work well for me
Quick and to the point my kinda video thank you!
What a great gift! I bet adventure wifey loves it. Good job Steve! 🎁
She loves it. If Adventure Wifey is happy, my life is good.
I should ask for a colection of all these Lectris seats folks are replacing so I can put them on my giveaway bikes. The Lectric seats are not that bad and they are far better than the seats on the bikes I give a way.
Their seats are not bad but there are way better options for more comfort.
Good upgrade and looks like the bike is doing well since the unboxing
I can see you adding an Ebike to your gear Jim.
I bought a Leitner ebike and I love it and I too installed a Satori seat post.
The seat post make a hell of a lot of difference for the better.
You need to help find us a screen protector. Great video!!
your butt will love you, comment was awesome. I don't want my butt ever to hate me lol
I purchased the Bikeroo seat with the Satori seat post a couple of months ago. This is a much needed improvement on the ride however, one of the seat springs came unsprung in a short time and caused the seat to drop to one side. I temporally fixed it with zip ties and had it replaced via Amazon return policy. My friend has the exact same setup and one of his seat springs has also come unsprung and dropped down. I have since ordered a second bike for my wife and will most likely put on a Cloud 9 seat over the Bikeroo due to the concerns for longevity of that product.
So far, so good on my seats. Hopefully mine doesn't break. Thanks for the info.
those double spring saddles are shit, a Repco Santa Cruz bike I bought in 97 has the same sort of seat and the RH spring and stud falls out, some loctite my fix it, I would rather get a cheap ebay gel big bum seat for $15
Satori seat
I love that bike ecotric Hammer but it's more like a 125 dirt bike. It gave me freedom. They should not send a bike with the handlebar thing loose. I could have died because they have bottom thing with two Allen screws was loose when I took off. Maybe that's my fault I will never put together a bike again and not check everything. Then I got it fixed and I took off and I had no clue how fast this bike was and how hard it is to steer with those big tires I'm used to riding a regular GT bike I had a really nice one. If you can fix a regular bike you can do this. I love my hammer bike but I'd say be very careful cuz I almost died and crashed into a van instead I went up the curb and crashed the sidewalk and man did it hurt because I want straight down on my half of leg. Once I figured out how to write it I was the happiest person in this town or in the western New York I mean what better option is there to a wheelchair than this? And I know the cops are going to pull me over I can guarantee you I've been pulled over on a regular bicycle and they were trying to give me a DWI back in the day. They said I went over the line I was drunk I would never advise ever drinking one beer on this smoking weed no don't even try it on this bike you just might die you got to be careful on these. But if you're careful they will last you forever you can never have to buy another bike I don't think so I should have gotten a smaller one with thinner tires and made it faster. I would not say it's 4 in town but I go out of town I go over a lot of things I really tested that yesterday and it really worked and I was on 5 cuz I got one leg. The motor was really hot after 12 miles but I could not believe I even went 12 miles. These bikes are amazing. If I was a Salesman I would be the best salesman ever because I love these bikes
Don't even have to go outside to have fun on that bike! LOL
Alrighty then
Thanks for this vid! Can I mod this seat to fit in my kayak?
River Kings
It might be a bouncy ride. Lol
@@SalineScott 🤣😂🤣😂
Hey man, this is an electric bike channel, not one of those crazy whacko yahoo kayak adventure channels. I can't answer your question.
I think you installed the Seatpost incorrectly. Hey, if it works for you and you are happy, please disregard this. Great video and ‘I've enjoyed it. :)
Have you ever been to ride the Virginia Creeper Bike Trail, in Virginia? My wife & I went with our youngest son and a few friends, a few years ago and LOVED IT! We’ve been wanting to get go back ever since, but we just haven’t made it back yet.
No but it's on our list. That would be a good trip for us this spring.
Adventure Outdoors We camped at the Creeper Trail Campground at the very beginning of the Trail. It was just a couple of hundred yards from the NC line. It was a Christmas tree farm, that literally had camping spots amongst the trees. It was great. Last time that I checked, it was closed down and for sale. The trail itself was great. We did the beginning, down to Damascus and I am pretty sure that it was 17 miles. Something like a 2-3% downhill grade all the way. You peddled enough to get rolling, then you sit back and coast.
I liked the looks of these mods and may try the on my regular mountain bike. We are talking about trying to add in some bikepacking trips to our crazy schedules. We have some pretty cool trips that we could do that are 100+ miles, just a short distance from us.
@@myadventureoutdoors Great fishing! Whitetop Laurel runs next to the Creeper trail!
I suggest you get a mirror for the left side of the handlebar and get rid of that useless bell, cannot stand riding w/o being able to see who or what is coming up behind me or make lane changes.
Good advice Mike.
Decent
I just got my echo trick Hammer bike yesterday I don't understand why they make the seats like this? I know there's an allen key on the bottom and I wonder if it's adjustable because if I went down 4in I could touch the ground. Or I will have to go to my bicycle shop and buy one so that I can touch the ground and towa wagon
Hi do you know the measurements for the original saddle?
Saddle height minimum to maximum
Saddle to handlebar measurement?
Thank you!
*Watches Steve Bounce up and down on seat, pours bleach into eyes*
Totally sorry about that. Can’t be unseen
My XP came with a free Lectric suspension seatpost, and it feels very stiff. Do you think it’s a good idea to upgrade?
Hard to say. The one I show in the video, I like very much. Combined with the seat I featured, it's a comfy ride. If you don't think the free seat post feels very good, try another one. If you go Amazon, you can return it easily. I've ordered a second bike and it comes with the seat post you mention. I will find out soon if it's as good as the one I ordered.
Will the seat post work on a regular bike?
I think these are made for universal fits. Sure makes it more comfy.
@@myadventureoutdoors Thanks
Nice video. The seat post is unavailable now. Do you have any other ones you recommend?
I would just use pretty much any one I could find. It really makes a difference. Just be sure you get the right post size.
Its cool
Nice swap out.
my fat ass needs the upgrade, but it being so much better, why didnt lectric furnish the bike with it to start with?
That seat post comes in 27.2, 30.9 & 31.6. What size?
For this bike 31.6x350mm
Wouldn't that seat post be a little too short compared to the stock one? It doesn't seem like you can raise the seat high much compared to the stock.
I've actually thrown the stock post away now but the new one is every bit as long. Highly recommend you change it out. Way more comfortable.
@@myadventureoutdoors Thanks for the advice. I'm going to order one tonight.
You looked like a junior congressman in the making in that picture. What happened?
I think my folks started letting me listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd music.
Too bad the seat post you linked is no longer available :(
That does suck.
No cat videos at the end to help get that image out of my head? So many jokes I could say but I can't even right now.
You know, I didn't think about the fact you can't unsee what you saw until I posted the video. I should have put in some cat pics at the end. I imagine there are some Starbucks snowflake beta males that will enjoy parts of this video.
What size is the seat post? I want to order before my bike comes.
Many different sizes.
thanks
My link in the description is the exact one I bought. 31.6x350mm
@@myadventureoutdoors Thanks , I was on my phone and could not see the drop down . Its out of stock... oh well thanks
When I bought my second Lectric Bike, it actually came with a suspension seatpost. (not sure if you are buying Lectric).
@@myadventureoutdoors yes I should receive bike soon. I will wait and see what comes.
Thanks for your info.
Great idea but you have seat post on backwards😩
10-4, I need to change it. Thx.
Put 22 miles our 1st day and my butt is so sore it hurts to even sit on the edge of my bed :/
Actually riding today hasn't crossed my mind.
If you didn't upgrade your seat, I would.
@@myadventureoutdoors absolutely more than likely next on the list.
@@myadventureoutdoors any recommendations, cloud 9 or...?
What....no shotgun holder?
It's coming...
Sorry not sorry I had to see the seat bounce demo 🤣 😭
Hahahaha!
Just like the bus driver's bouncy chair
Both seat and post are unavailable
Wow, makes me wonder if my video had any affect on the supply.
cloud 9 seat with a suntour sp 12 ncx post 31.6 diameter
@@myadventureoutdoors post is still of of stock, ZOOM is another good brand, I bought FMFXTR post from ebay straight end 27mm
Did you really just say your wife has a big butt (I got her an extra wide seat)? You better not let her see this one Steve. Your next video may be posted from the hospital.😂😂 👍💯
Whoa, whoa, whoa. You better replay that. You know I'm not suicidal.
@@myadventureoutdoors 😂
What the heck are you doing.?. You don’t jump up and down on the seat showing your girly side. That’s just wrong. Somebody’s going to get the wrong idea about you.
Ohh. I watched the ending ads for you too. lol. Love ya, man.
That is not girlie. Think of it as my Rick Flair double suflex move.
@@myadventureoutdoors Lol @ a hick mispelling "Ric Flair" and "suplex"
@@haiku30 Please forgive me for disrespecting the Nature Boy. Yes, I'm an ol podunk hick (with an unbelievable superior brain now) and I use to follow Ric Flair around Charlotte in the 70's when we'd catch him driving around in his Bronco. I actually knocked on his door one night hoping to meet him but no one home. I haven't followed wrestling in a while and I guess I forgot the name of the move that Nature Boy use to put on Wahoo McDaniel back in the day.
