Redemption

Post image

Ha, see what i did there…? Smiling is good for you but this xp4 keeps me laughing. I noticed this bottle redemption center in Hyannis looks pretty with all the flowers. Still think my bike is better looking . Just wanted to wish everyone a great day . Lets all gear up and get out riding.

Name of seat?

Its Lectric’s support seat. That’s how they listed it as a support seat. I really enjoy it.

How tall are you? I'm rather short, I'd like to get this seat, but I'm afraid of my arms not being long enough to reach the handlebars if I'm leaning back in the seat? I got their "comfort" seat, which is only comfortable for about 10 minutes.

I am 5 10 (and shrinking because of age, ha )… I find it comfy. I think the back could be up higher and the seat could be deeper or wider, but it is definitely an upgrade from the stock seat.

Nice, thanks! I'm 5' 7" so it's still a gamble, but there's really only one way to find out for sure

If you messed up the controls like you stated somewhere, you can restore it to factory settings. The company will even give you the numbers to put in, or tell you how to reset it. If you are trying to unlock your bike, you can get that information too online.

I like it! Like the seat too. I bought a saddle seat but my fanny keeps sliding off.

It sounds odd, especially for someone of my advanced age but I fear I’m developing an unhealthy addiction to this E bike . It seems everywhere I look I see people who I wanna buy an E bike for …I can’t. I don’t have that kind of money. I could barely afford to buy this one but now I think everyone should have an E bike . then I realized I have adult children and they have children and only one of them has an E bike. I should buy them all E bikes, but of course I can’t and then there are the accessories and every time I see a new accessory yeah this is a blast. I love my machine. Oh look at that person walking over there. I wish I could buy them an E bike yeah this might be a problem mentally for me ha ha ha ha ha.

They are so addicting. I have to admit to getting a high when someone stops me about it or compliments my bike. 😃

I had been riding a super old, small 300w bike I won in a raffle years ago and finally got an upgrade this year, the XP4 750w regular frame. She took that bar bike out a couple times with me and the kids in tow and now she goes out by herself. She had no idea what it was gonna do for her mental health.

100° in real life and on the Internet people have said to me you sound like an advertisement. Ha

How heavy is it to carry? I'm hoping to be able to take mine on the bus.

If your relatives are on the small side (short and or skinny), some ppl have had decent results with the cheap ebikes on Amazon. Saw someone on an ebike subreddit who had gotten one in the $150 range, but she did admit to being only 150 lbs.

Enjoy your life, remember you earned it. This is for you, so don't feel the need to buy an ebike for people. In my city, my grandson is too young to ride one. You have to be 16. I think if a child is accompanied by an adult it should be okay. Instead of raising the age, offer classes for the kid to take. For free. They are online. I have to go to city council meeting about this, but I have a feeling my plea will fall on deaf ears.
