Folding and Unfolding the Bike

The Lectric XP folds at the center of the frame and the handlebars.

Handlebars

1. Pull the handlebars to their upright position.
2. Push the clasp down firmly until it locks. Ensure sufficient force is used so the clasp leaves an imprint in your palm.
3. Move the safety pin sideways to insert it into the clasp, locking it in place. Pull on the clasp to confirm the safety pin is correctly inserted and the handlebars cannot fold. [Image description: Three steps showing the handlebar folding mechanism: 1. Clasp in the open position. 2. Clasp pushed down to lock. 3. Safety pin inserted to secure the clasp.]

Frame

1. To unfold the frame, grasp the handlebar stem and rear end of the bike. Lift the bike slightly and swing it to its closed position.
2. Push down on the clasp firmly until it locks. Confirm the clasp is locked and the frame cannot fold by pulling on it.
3. To unlock and fold the frame, slide the switch labeled "open" to the right.
4. Pull the latch while holding the "open" switch. The bike can now be folded. [Image description: Four steps showing the frame folding mechanism: 1. Bike partially folded. 2. Clasp pushed down to lock. 3. Switch labeled "open" shown. 4. Latch pulled to allow folding.]

Pedals

1. To unfold the pedals, push down slightly and move the pedal outwards.
2. Continue pushing down while lowering it into its unfolded position.
3. Ensure you hear the pedal lock into place once unfolded. [Image description: Three steps showing the pedal unfolding process: 1. Hand pushing down on the pedal. 2. Pedal moving outwards. 3. Pedal locked into place.]

Preparing to Ride

• Ensure all components are properly secured before riding to avoid serious harm or death. All components must be torqued to the specifications in the Recommended Torque Values section, including pedals, handlebars, cranks, seat, and seatpost clamp.
• Verify the seat and stem cannot be twisted out of alignment by hand.
• Adjust the saddle height: Sit on the saddle facing forward and place the ball of your foot on the pedal at its lowest point. Your leg should be nearly straight with a slight bend at the knee. You should be able to pedal without overextending. If your hips move side-to-side, the seat is too high and needs to be lowered.
• To adjust seat height, unlatch the seatpost clamp, move the seat to the desired height, and close the clamp. [Image description: Two images showing the seatpost clamp in the open position (left) and closed position (right).]
• To adjust the seat angle, loosen the nuts on both sides of the seat, move the seat to the desired angle, and tighten the nuts. [Image description: An image showing the location of the nut used for adjusting the seat angle, indicated by a blue arrow.]
• Ensure all cables and connectors at the front of the bike are securely connected. Loose connections can affect the front light, motor inhibitor switches, LCD display, and throttle. Motor inhibitor switches cut motor power when brakes are applied. If these switches are not operational, stopping distance will increase, potentially causing injury or death.

Battery

Operating Your Battery

Your bike is equipped with a 48V 10.4Ah lithium-ion battery with LG cells. Key features:

1. The battery comes with keys for turning it ON/OFF and for LOCKING/UNLOCKING it to the frame. Each battery has a unique set of keys.
2. The battery has three positions: UNLOCKED, OFF, and ON, marked on the battery. [Image description: A close-up of the battery lock mechanism showing the PUSH, OFF, UNLOCK, and ON positions.]
3. In the UNLOCKED position, the battery can be removed from the frame, and power will be inactive. Exercise caution when unlocking and removing the battery, as it may slide out if the bike is folded. If the battery is damaged from impact, discontinue use and contact Lectric eBikes immediately.
4. To turn the battery from UNLOCKED to OFF, PUSH the keys in firmly. The battery remains locked to the frame, but power is inactive.
5. To turn power from OFF to ON, turn the key clockwise. The battery locks to the frame, and power is active. Keys cannot be removed in this position. The keys must be in the ON position for the bike to operate.

Keeping Your Battery Healthy

• If not using the battery for several days, keep it charged to approximately 75% capacity to minimize degradation.
• Check battery charge level monthly and recharge to 75% if necessary.
• To maximize battery cycle life, charge to 100% a few hours before riding. For example, if the charge drops to 50% and you plan to use the bike again in a few days, charge it the night before. This is healthier for the cells long-term.

• Ensure the charging area is free of dirt or debris.
• The charger automatically stops when the battery is full. The charger light is red while charging and turns green when finished.
• Avoid leaving the charger plugged in after the battery is fully charged.
• Do not charge if the battery appears damaged, excessively hot, leaking, smells, or is discolored.
• Charging typically takes 4-6 hours for a nearly empty battery.
• Store the battery indoors in a dry space, away from heat/flame sources and direct sunlight.

Battery Safety

• Do not submerge the battery in liquid.
• Do not touch the battery terminals at the back of the battery.
• Turn off the battery before removing it from the bike or when not in use.
• Attaching or removing the battery should not be excessively difficult. Do not force it to avoid damage or injury.
• Charging times may increase with battery age and usage.
• When plugging/unplugging the charger, grip the plug, not the cable.
• If the battery has trouble charging, discontinue charging and contact Lectric eBikes immediately.

Lithium-ion batteries can be dangerous. Handle and charge with care. Failure to follow these guidelines can result in property damage or serious injury. Contact Lectric eBikes for any battery safety questions.

3. Check your seatpost clamp and handlebar stem quick releases. Unlatch, then tighten by turning the bolt clockwise. Ensure they are torqued correctly per the Recommended Torque Values section.
4. Verify the frame folding latch and handlebar folding latch are locked, and that the safety pins are secured. Failure to ensure latches are secure may result in the bike folding during use, causing serious harm. [Image description: Three steps showing the handlebar folding mechanism: 1. Clasp in the open position. 2. Clasp pushed down to lock. 3. Safety pin inserted to secure the clasp.]
5. Ensure your battery is fully charged before your first ride.
6. If the battery is not installed, slide it into the frame and lock it. Ensure it is fully seated. Insert the key into the battery port on the frame's underbelly near the seatpost. [Image description: An image showing the battery key being inserted into the port on the underside of the frame.]
7. Push the key in firmly and turn it clockwise to lock the battery and turn it ON. The keys cannot be removed in this position.

Note: Ensure the key is pushed in firmly to turn ON. The key must be in the battery and turned ON for the bike to operate. Before transporting the bike on a rack, remove the battery.

8. Hold the mode button on the left handlebar until the display turns on.
9. Select a pedal assist level (1-5) using the up/down arrows. Level 1 is lowest assist, Level 5 is highest. Level 0 provides no assistance.
10. The right handlebar has a half-twist throttle. To use it, ensure pedal assist is above 0, then twist the throttle back to accelerate. The further you twist, the more power. When stopped, turn the display OFF to prevent accidental motor activation. Caution: Be careful not to twist the throttle unknowingly when stopped, as this could cause loss of balance and serious injury or death.
11. To turn on headlights/taillights, press and hold the up arrow on the button pad. The battery must be installed and the bike unfolded for lights to work.
12. Use caution to avoid engaging walk mode. It is activated by holding the down arrow and engages the motor at walking speed.

Front and Rear Lights

The Lectric XP has integrated front and rear lights. Lectric eBikes recommends using them at night or in low visibility. Hold the up button on the display control pad to turn lights on/off.

Walk Mode

Electric bikes are heavier, making walking them more strenuous. The Lectric XP has walk mode to assist. Holding the down arrow on the display control pad engages the motor at a slow walk speed. A "Walk" indicator will appear on the display. To deactivate, pull the brake levers or hold the down arrow.

Operating Safety

Before your first ride, ensure you have read and understood this manual, including how to activate pedal assist and throttle. Start slowly in a low pedal assist level in a safe area away from traffic and obstacles. Increase assist levels only when comfortable and experienced. Higher levels accelerate faster. Ride with care at all speeds. Failure to follow warnings and guidelines can lead to serious harm, injury, or death. Damage from not following instructions is not covered under warranty. Do not lean on the bike when parked with the kickstand in use, as this can stress the kickstand and cause it to fail, leading to injury.

7 Speed Gear System

The Lectric XP features a 7-speed Shimano freewheel. This allows riders to maintain a comfortable pedaling speed across different terrains. Lower gears (larger sprockets) make pedaling uphill easier, while higher gears (smaller sprockets) allow for higher speeds on flat or downhill terrain. Use the thumb shifter on the right handlebar to shift gears: press the lower button to shift up, and the top lever to shift down. [Image description: A photograph of the Shimano 7-speed shifter.]

Caution: Shifting too quickly can cause the chain to fall off, leading to loss of control and potential injury. If the chain falls off, turn the bike off before attempting to fix it.

Mechanical Disc Brakes

The Lectric XP uses mechanical disc brakes for quick stopping power. Squeeze the brake levers towards the handlebars to engage the brakes. This pulls the brake cable, closing the caliper against the rotor attached to the wheel. Squeezing harder applies more force, slowing the bike faster. The left lever controls the front brake, and the right lever controls the rear brake. Always apply the rear brake slightly before or simultaneously with the front brake. Applying only the front brake during quick stops can cause the rider to be ejected over the handlebars, resulting in serious harm, injury, or death. Apply even pressure to both brakes when slowing or stopping.

Before riding, check that the brake levers do not touch the handlebars when fully applied. If they do, adjust the barrel adjuster to increase brake cable tension. If the issue persists, consult an experienced bicycle mechanic.

Note: Disc brake rotors get hot during use and remain hot for a short period afterward due to friction. Avoid touching the rotors immediately after use.

Contact Lectric eBikes with any questions regarding safe operation.

LCD Display Functions

Display Readouts

[Image description: An image of the LCD display with numbered callouts. 1 indicates the Walk Mode, Cruise Control, and Pedal assist (PAS) Level Indicator. 2 indicates Odometer, Trip A, Trip B, Voltage, Current, and Trip Timer (TM) readouts. 3 indicates the Battery level indicator bar. 4 indicates the Speedometer in MPH or KM/H. 5 indicates the Light On/Off Indicator. 6 indicates Mile and kilometer indicators.]

Operating the LCD Display

Notes: The trip meter resets when the bike is powered off. Maximum and average speed are calculated per trip and reset when powered off. The display shuts down automatically after 10 minutes of inactivity. Pedal assist and throttle features will not work when the display is off.

Display Settings

To access advanced settings, hold the up and down arrows simultaneously. Use the mode button to cycle through settings and the up/down arrows to adjust values.

Do not change settings not listed. Doing so may cause the bike to malfunction. Contact Lectric eBikes for default settings if needed.

Other Display Functions

Cruise Control

Cruise control works like in a car. To activate: hold the down arrow while twisting the throttle. The bike maintains a speed based on the throttle position when activated. For example, if the throttle is at a position for 20mph and the down arrow is held, cruise control sets to 20mph. The bike will accelerate to maintain this speed. To cruise at low speeds, slightly twist the throttle and hold the down arrow. Cruise control deactivates by pulling the brakes, which also cuts motor power.

Changing the Top Speed

The Lectric XP ships with a 20 mph maximum speed, classifying it as a Class 2 eBike. In most states, 20 mph is legal for public roads. Some states recognize 3 classes of eBikes.

Important: Check your local laws and regulations regarding Class 3 eBikes before adjusting the top speed. Laws vary by location.

States recognizing 3 classes require a label indicating the eBike's class, wattage, and top speed. Your bike defaults to Class 2 with a sticker under the carry handle. If you change the top speed, remove this sticker and replace it with a Class 3 label.

To change the top speed:

1. Access the settings menu by holding the up and down arrows simultaneously until "P1" appears.
2. Use the "m" button to cycle through settings and the up/down arrows to adjust values.
3. Go to setting "P08" and change the value from 32 to 45.
4. Hold the up and down arrows simultaneously to return to the main screen.
5. Hold the "m" button to power off the bike and save settings.

Congratulations! You can now reach speeds up to 28 mph. Exercise increased caution as higher speeds pose greater safety risks and may result in serious injury or death. Always wear a helmet and obey traffic laws.

Battery Capacity Display

The LCD display shows battery level via an "energy bar." As the battery depletes, tick marks disappear. The display flashes when charge is critically low. [Image description: A visual representation of the "ENERGY BAR" showing full and empty states with tick marks indicating charge levels.]

Note: The energy bar is an estimate and updates based on current battery voltage.

Tips When Riding To Increase Range

• Ride in a lower pedal assist level.
• Use lower assist levels and pedal when climbing hills.
• Pedal when starting from a standstill.
• Set your max speed lower than 20 mph on the LCD display.

Rough Range Estimates

Range varies significantly based on rider weight, terrain, wind, user input, and payload. The following table provides estimates:
