Lectric XP gets a 1500w Controller Upgrade 

@DavidBrandNew no way I just realized this. You live at my old house. I moved in 2015. That’s crazy.

@DavidBrandNew

I will look for those wires. Thanks 👍🏽

Thanks! I was on the verge of giving up. I was running out of ideas. But in the end we got it to work. Now I just need to figure out the lights and pedal assist

Its like a completely different bike

Thanks!

You should get a higher top speed with it unless the Lectric motor limits it

Thanks for watching 👊🏽

Thanks! I was close to giving up and scrapping the video lol. Can you explain the discharge rate to me? So I’m not actually reaching the 35amps the controller is rated for?

@@DavidBrandNew couldn't you go in the settings and increase the top speed too?

Thanks Reg. 👊🏽

Thanks man. I have a new hub coming soon 💪🏽

Yea man like you, I feel like I’m riding a new bike now. It hits 28mph throttle only and about 31 with pedaling.

Lmao I accidentally deleted your comment. I was trying to reply to it 😂 I read it tho. You definitely should do a power upgrade. I would go the Grizz route if you’re afraid of burning out your motor. I got something more powerful coming so I wasn’t scared if things got messed up

😂

Yea man I’m down 👊🏽

Thanks 👊🏽

Thanks man. Redbone vs Leticia will be the next video for sure. I was in SD this weekend but I was with family. Next time I’ll bring my bike and we can go for a ride 👊🏽

@@DavidBrandNew Oh heck yes!!!!!

Hey I actually found these forks on offerup and they don’t have any branding. If you want this exact look get 26” fat fork.

Yes indeed 👍🏽

😈...lol

😆 Glad to see y’all brothers doing the damn thing

Yea I was inspired by his upgrade

Yea I at least need to get pedal assist working.

Yea man it will be interesting to see if pedal assist gives me more speed

Lol I literally don’t know what I did but it worked 👊🏽

Yes I think at that point I would be looking into customizing a new bike. Which ones do you think I should consider

@@DavidBrandNew Lots of great choices out there these days! Everyone has their own taste, but if I am buying a bike, I want to love how it looks. I love my Zooz, but my wife wanted a step through, so she chose the XP when I thought we would both be Zoozers. I plan on keeping both of these unmolested and legal for street and bike paths. But the 2 wheel electric bug has overwhelmed me and I need more electric powah, so I recently ordered a Black Tea Bonfire (scrambler style street legal emoped- great new pics on their Trello page). As with the Zooz, I am supporting a BRANDNEW company on their first production run, and I have to wait a few months to get it, but I truly enjoy having opportunity to support the first creations of my favorite designs. If I was a confident bike builder like you, maybe I would choose the CirKit frame and build to specs of either being maxed power for ebike legality, or just being a 40-50mph dominator (advantage of custom built means only the builder knows the true specs). I would also choose regen braking for efficiency and to save brake pad wear. But I am anxious to see what's next for you!

Yes I already have one on the way. It’s coming from china so it will take a while. I should be able to hit 35mph no problem. Also I could try a 52v battery to see if that changes things on the current setup. I use the osmo action for all my videos. I have no complaints.

Thanks bro. I’m interested to see how yours performs. The only reason I was brave enough to splice wires is because I have something even more powerful on the way. This was just a little upgrade to hold me over

@@DavidBrandNew throttle only mine hovers between 24 and 26 mph, (with a little bit of paddle 28) it behaves a little bit different than the XP. Pedal-assist 0 thru 5, throttle only works on 0. Mine is a little bit faster with a throttle than it is with pedal-assist 5, but it feels like it has a little more torque with pedal assist. 18 amp controller. But the faster you go the less power wants to give you, always feels like the motor has more, but he controller just won't give it. So when you're going up a hill it will dump all the power it has, but if you're already going pretty fast, it throttles the power back. Which I guess is good for range. I upgraded to a 20 amp power triangle pack. On nothing but pedal-assist 3 and 4 it gets 50 miles before it starts to slow down. It completely shut down for me between 55 and 58 miles. I like it, I wasn't expecting it to be this good, I went cheap because I read so many e-bike horror stories, ( less of a risk).

@@marcs4091 sounds like you have a pretty good setup. Mine does the same thing when up to speed.

@@DavidBrandNew yeah it's not bad, I have two gas bikes for when I really want to haul a$#, but their pavement princesses.

Yea I still think yours pulls a little bit stronger but we’ll see the next time we meet up

Its super easy. I used super strong double sided tape to mount it. Make sure you get the right connector that is compatible with the lectric control. I think its anderson. It will feel different if you’re using both batteries. I just use one so it feels the same.

Hey man yea I didn’t post a video on it. I used this one. Let me know if you have any other questions www.amazon.com/Dilwe-Bicycle-Aluminium-Replacement-Accessory/dp/B07CXH4B9Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=44mm+threadless+headset&qid=1611176408&sr=8-6

Yes you can definitely do that

I will consider that

👊🏽

Hey man they are just regular pegs. I put a bolt thru the hole above where the motor wire is and attached the pegs to it

@@DavidBrandNew ahh good idea, thanks! I appreciate it

Not throttle only plus it has way more acceleration

Its called speed gps lol. It was free 🤷🏽‍♂️😂

@@DavidBrandNew Thanks bro

I tried that one it doesn't work. it just shows lower miles per hour on the display. Like instead of like 19 on the original it was showing like 17 on just throttle. I believe there's an RPM limit in the motor somehow.

Did you ever? If so how does it work?

No issues yet

I got something coming that I think you might like

Message me. I need advise mate

@@custom4lif3 I'm not really a hub motor or pre-built guy. Best advise I can give is go online, join groups & research before your build (or upgrade). I read and watched everything I could but that was more than 5 years ago so things have changed (no pre-built hub motor values like a Lectric XP until recently). I can say that back then nothing could beat the power, speed, climbing ability plus bang for buck of a Bafang BBS02 or BBSHD mid-drive conversion (partially because Rad & Sondors were the only entry level e-bikes then).

Yes 35amp max on the controller. I think if you continuously pushing 1500w for a long period of time it will kill the motor. But if you ride smart it should be fine. Also once the bike gets up to speed it only uses 500-700w to maintain top speed. Only time will tell with the motor. I have a back up plan just in case 👍🏽

Did you find a 35a controller that works in the frame with PAS, speedo all working? I'm in the same boat for the same reason (hills)

Aww that was a while ago but from my memory I used the same settings from the stock display. At least the ones that applied

You are absolutely 100% right 👍🏽 Proceed with caution

Imagine getting a ticket for racing bicycles. Lol

@@Perfectjzman 😂😂

I would go lectric

Umm move to ground floor.

Take the battery out at carry them separately

I can hit 33mph on a full charge. I think thats about it because I weigh 210

Yes you will have more torque. It won’t affect top speed but you should be able to hit 30mph throttle only

@@DavidBrandNew should I change the battery to I currently have 48v 10ah battery and if so what kind of battery do I need for it to at least last me of 25 miles throttle only appreciate your help thank you

Industrial grade double sided tape

I got the controller from a supplier on alibaba.

Hey David.. Can you pls share the dealer details.. Pls.. Thanks

Yea on the stock display the tire size is supposed to be set at 22”

DBN Gps'd it !!

I’ve never sen a 1500w go that fast unless you weigh 100 pounds

You can pump 1500watts through a 500 rated motor if you want and it will use every watt! But heat is the enemy and I don't hold hope of it surviving for too long lol

Yea bro I got you 👊🏽

Yes It is the white wire that is connected to the motor. I’m not sure how to bypass it. I tried unplugging it but then it won’t calculate your speed. Maybe it’s possible to go faster but you would have to verify with a phone app

With out it showing the speed limit did you happen to notice any difference in the feel. Not so much wanting more speed it just want to hit 28 on throttle only 😉

You should disconnect it on Red Bone and see if she can keep up LOL Sot out to Jane

@@brianinman1348 it felt the same to me.

@@DavidBrandNew Or a cheap bicycle speedometer. You da man at brave tampering. I thought it might burn up during the experimental connecting/ reconnecting. I'm a retired automation control builder. Electrical stuff can blow up in the twinkling of an eye. We called it "letting the smoke out." Glad that didn't happen to your bike.

Nice

I believe over 800. Last time I checked it was at 700 something but that was a month ago

Yea The 72v batteries are so ugly lol. But if I did upgrade the battery it would have to be a 72v

Yes check out Urban Grizzly. He added a front motor to his
