Lectric Ebike Battery Exhaustion 

30miles is very doable. We got just over 30 with another test we did, but you have to help with peddling. Thanks for stopping by!

One of our e-bikes is a lite, you will love it!

Thanks for watching

Physics says otherwise. 1 thorugh 5 throttle only range will vary WILDLY based on the terrain. You'll go way farther on flat roads, than hills...

​​@@bikebudha01 We're not talking about hills or flats. We're talking about Pedal Assist modes. Sonny's point was that if you're using the throttle only, then it doesn't matter what Pedal Assist mode you have the bike set on, because you're not using the pedals. _______________ (Now, having said that, as a practical matter, the tester in this video *_did_* have to use the pedals occasionally in order to get get up some of the hills. In those cases, the choice of Pedal Assist level _does_ matter, of course, because a higher level will try to maintain a higher speed. But again, that only matters if and when the rider is using the pedals.) 😊

@@Milesco no, we are talking about battery capacity and range. sonny said your range will be the same no matter what pedal assist level you use. Tha'ts just not true.

@@bikebudha01 "IF YOU USE THROTTLE ONLY (NO PEDALING)." You may want to go back and reread Sonny's comment.

Works just fine for us!

We hope it helped, we still love our e-bikes! Mike recently got the lighter ebike, we do love having a bike 20lbs lighter. We carry them in 55gallon totes inside of our rig under the kitchen table. We did have an ebike rack but it couldn’t handle the weight, so we ditched the rack and use the containers. You can pick them up at Lowes

mine only took 7days and that was after delay but im in cali got the xp step thru 2.0 long range its awesome really good miles 26 with mainly pas 5 and throttle alot now im playing with lower pas and already got about 20 miles with half charge or so but im at 47.7 volts rn on battery im thinking ill be able to get atleast 16 more miles

We have road bikes for exercise. The lectric bikes are for camping. We just wanted to know exactly how far they would go. Thanks for watching!

@@ThoseWhoGlampTogether I understood that, I was kind of mentioning it to the folks that buy electric bikes and use them for electric motorcycles, you guys rock! stay safe.

@@gonzo2.0 👍

@@RPMac sounds like an impressive set up!

Glad it was helpful! We did another video we pedal as much as we could and got 30miles out of them. Thanks for watching!

@@ThoseWhoGlampTogether wow that is great - I will need to watch that one as well.

Good to have a rough estimate!! It was interesting for sure! Safe travels!!

That’s no good! Did you contact Lectric?

Thank you! We plan to do another one down the road.

We are going to do another test with some pedaling just to see how many miles we can get. Thanks for sharing.

That’s awesome!! Thanks for sharing

🤣

Good for you still trying to make this work! Way to go!! Good luck and keep us posted!

Next test is to do it with peddling. Thinking around 40 or more miles

Feel for you! Makes it really hard owning an ebike and enjoying a long bike ride!

Mine took forever to ship... very happy with it at about 150miles so far.. hope you enjoy yours

That’s is going to be an awesome set up. Curious how many miles dual batteries will do. Thanks for watching

How do you like your Premium? I'm considering one and going to look at a used one in the morning to check for size. I'm 5' 1" and need to check seat height and handlebar reach before committing. I thought that I could swap out to different handlebars, but after seeing some YT posts it might be a pain. lol

@@lahawk7410 it’s a heavy bike for one. Difficult to fold up and lift. The factory derailleur was not good and made for inconsistent gear selection, but I upgraded that and it works fine now. Speaking of gear selection, you have to ride this bike like it’s a manual transmission automobile, meaning you gotta up shift and down shift while going and stopping. Didn’t take long to get used to that though. The bike has enough power and torque and just the right amount of assist can be dialed in. I like the torque sensing feature as the power assist comes on nice and smooth, no scary lurching like many hub drive motor bikes so. I have it with me on vaca right now and getting lots of ride time. One thing I’ve discovered, and have heard a few mentions of this, is that it can get a little wobbly at higher speeds. Some thought it was the handlebar placement being too far forward, well it’s not. I’ve moved my bars back like many and still have the wobble. The real problem is the frame area where the front battery mounts is quite flexible, not good! Would I buy this bike again?, more than likely not. But sounds like you have the benefit of test driving before buying. Take it for a spin and form your own opinion from there.

@@racrx7 Thank you for your honest review after having the premium for awhile. It is tough cuz just a little ride and several days or weeks between testing it's hard to remember and compare. I just felt like nothing has everything I'm looking for, but they are changing them all the time, so go with the flow until something else comes around. Like everything else being petite can be a challenge whether it is eye glass frames, bikes or clothes....always between girls and adults! Enjoy your vacation!!

Thank you! We have a few more battery test we’d like to try. Thanks for watching!

First, that is amazing that you are able to commute via your Lectric bike. Sorry to hear of the battery issues. Just compare the cost of the battery to fuel costs and I’m sure it will bring a smile to your face!

👏

That was what we wanted to understand is how far we could go on the battery using only throttle.

Thanks for watching! They are definitely an investment but worth it!!

@Delaney thanks for your reply, but interest is Always attached, and I barely break even with the bills which are only necessities I already have . But thanks 🙂 (I own a flip phone and a 1998 gateway pc 😐ya pretty sad I know)

We hope you enjoy the bike. Thanks for watching!

Thank you Steve!

We tried the Motow Hitch but found that wasn’t ideal. So we carry them inside our camper, under the dinette.

They are 45gallon tubs from Lowes, no lid. I can send you a picture if you’d like

@@ThoseWhoGlampTogether good to know! We have used a Swagman in the past, so that's probably what we will go with, unless we can find space inside.

@@OurRoadLessTraveled the problem is the weight of two ebikes. We can’t see the bikes while driving and that is uncomfortable for us. We always worry

Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy your bikes when they arrive. We have another video of us riding 30 miles and pedaling on Pas 3. You may want to check that video out as well.

They are heavy bikes so if you do drain the battery you just have to work a lot harder! Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching

I’m sure we can get over 20m on flat, we are at 30m with mostly flat. Thanks for commenting and watching!❤️

Correct, 20miles of no pedaling. We also live in a hilly area so I’m sure flat would get you more. Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching! The bike is very heavy when your out of battery! We are avid cyclist so it wasn’t as hard for me as most people.

How exciting! This Thursday we have another video on how far Mike is able to ride it. You will be glamping for sure!! Thanks for watching!

Interesting! Thanks for the tip!

You have to peddle once your battery dies, how else would you get back

@@ThoseWhoGlampTogether maybe i missed the part where you were testing or something, but i though i heard you say you used just the throttle for the first 20 miles... i.e. you weren't peddaling the bike for 20 miles....

@@bikebudha01 yes we did a test to see how far we could go without peddling. Just good information to know if you own an E-bike

@@ThoseWhoGlampTogether that makes more sense. thanks for putting the info out there...

If we had flat roads around us we can go further! Good luck and thanks for watching!

Small world Eric! We don’t live far from corkscrew. Figured it would be a great addition to the test. We still love our ebikes, have over 300 miles now!

Hello Ron and Judy! How exciting about your new bikes. I bet you can’t wait! We have another video coming out in a couple weeks were we rode them with assistance to show how many miles we can ride!

And I’m sure we would’ve gotten a lot more if we were on flat ground! Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@ThoseWhoGlampTogether this has helped me narrow down my choice. It will definitely be a lectric bike, lite or 2.0 or one of each...

@@michaelcipriani869 you are going to love it!

Thanks for watching! Love to see how a battery test would work for you guys as well!

Yes it is quite stable.

@@ThoseWhoGlampTogether Thanks, you did great pedaling that bike home ,great video editing too

It was awesome meeting you. Hopefully next time we can meet Stefanie. We had an amazing weekend meeting new and old friends! We are also booked for next year;) Thanks for following us!

@@ThoseWhoGlampTogether I will make sure you meet the better half😂 Stefanie.

@@truittbodie249 lol!!

Follow Me to Maine Gary!! That’s your new name!! It was amazing meeting you and hearing your story! We can’t wait to follow you to Maine!!

Yes if I slowed down that would have helped! Plus less hills! Lol thanks for watching!

No, we talked about it but didn’t. Maybe next time.

We love our helmet mirrors. Mike and I are avid road cyclists and we bought them at a Trek store. Not sure of the brand. Thanks for watching!

You can pick them up on Amazon too. www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-d0d2a7b3

This video was more about mileage, to see what it would do.

@@ThoseWhoGlampTogether You missed this persons crucial point and that's that you essentially damaged the life of your battery on your wife's bike by conducting this test. A great test and im thankful for you doing it so I could see, but nonetheless as rvgrandma Charlotte said, letting it drop down from full voltage to below 43 to 0 and fully dying damages your battery. Similar to how its bad for a fuel pump in a car to suckle the last drop and completely die

@@turkey4957 Also, if you think you are well into the second half of the range you have left, checking the power bars is not reliable. Check the voltage instead. If you see 45 volts, you need to be within 2 miles of your destination.

That is an awesome idea!

Wow! Thanks for showing how incredibly rude you can be. Thankfully we know what the bikes specs are and are showing real people what they can expect from them. But you go ahead and do nothing with your life except criticizing those who are out living theirs. Hope you feel better about your miserable life by verbally insulting someone else!! Have a good day!!

@@ThoseWhoGlampTogether ??? Did you read my comment??? Where does it say that's rude? My father is over 300 pounds and that was based on his experience. Just trying to help other people and wow you are very very incredibly rude.

@@18564864 you do realize your post says edited on my screen and I have a screen shot of your original post You are welcome on our channel but be a light for others and not call people fat. If you choose to not come back, we’ll then have a great day!

@@ThoseWhoGlampTogether the fact is I edited I don't even remember what I said and that's y I "edited" right away. Man such a shame you have RU-vid followers. There are so many good youtubers.

@@ThoseWhoGlampTogether and I dont know how much light can be then "editing" and do have bigger heart. This is youtube.

Pretty much! 😂

If you go downhill the whole time you could get 40/60miles!! Lol jk

We are very aware of how they work! How about trying to focus on the content and added value of knowing how far you can ride “throttle only” in hilly terrain, or are you just that miserable that you need to find “fault” in everything someone else spends time and effort doing?

@@ThoseWhoGlampTogether not miserable at all. But accurate information is important if your talking about added knowledge.

Way to go! 👏

That is truly personal preference. The better you are seen the safer you will be. We use lights on our road bikes. Thanks for watching!

Yes this was with the factory battery and settings.

Yes! Going to have to try it on flat route

Got 21miles out of it that day! Lol

lol! Good luck!

Lol! you could do laps on a cargo ship all the way there 😂😂😂

Now that’s a thought!

That would be disappointing. That’s a lot of money just to get 20miles. Yikes should see if your able to trade out a battery for a new one.

Yes we agree they have a small battery, but for the money it wasn’t to bad of a purchase

Good idea adding a battery! Thanks for watching

get a t plug parallel connector female to male, male, reconnect internal battery then extend a t plug to xt60 or connector of your choice to back rack. make sure to power off battery as you alternate them (never have them on at same time or you can damage stuff). It will add weight to the 63 lbs bike.

@RidingMTL-QUE Biking Kayaking...thanks! I do have an extra battery and i think i have all the connections. I'm just learning the difference between parallel and series connections. I'm getting ready to try a hook up and see what happens. Thanks for the tips about turning one off. Can i just turn the battery off at the key or do I need an external on/off switch? Thanks, appreciate all the help i can get.

@@mrmagoo9901 in the case of the inboard Lectric XP one just remove the key when it is in the off/lock position and make sure to have an on/off switch/key on external device. Before turning it back on i unplug the xt60 then i insert the key to turn it on to use internal device. (Plus between i power up the computer so it will empty any leftover voltage before powering on the alternate device)

@RidingMTL-QUE Biking Kayaking....thanks! I have it all laid out. You've answered some details i was wondering about. Thanks again! I'll let you all know how it turns out.

They are under warranty so we wasn’t to worried about it

@@ThoseWhoGlampTogether yeah but the warranty will be up by the time your battery is no good. You should be able to get a few years out of a battery as long as you aren't running down below I believe 10% is the recommendation. But running it down completely like that your going decrease the life.

They are lithium. Lithium is fine to run down to below usable voltage, but for max life should only be charged up to 80%. You are thinking of lead acid batteries.

That’s great to know. Thanks for sharing!

@@ThoseWhoGlampTogether If you run into trouble with the XP there's a Jeremiah Mcintosh on RU-vid with tips to fix & update bikes👍

@@dickymack33 We have yet to see Jeremiah's youtube page. We will go check it out! Thanks!
