Bought this ebike the other day and first time taking it out and I braked at around 15mph (it’s 52v 2000w motor on a carerra hellcat ) and the bike felt like something was stuck in the wheel. Checked the back wheel and the rotor had completely failed any idea what happened and do you think will be an easy fix

Looking for some advice - my son has a Ridstar Q20 Pro. He needs to replace the front brakes for sure (whole system) and possibly the back. Can you recommend a good replacement for them. Looking (possibly) Amazon (Canada or USA) or wherever.

Thanks in advance!

At what speed should I have a full face helmet instead of just a regular bike helmet. I don’t wanna look stupid

I was looking at a few options from lectric I have a $1500 budget and I'm trying to decide between the xp lite 2.0, xp4 750, and the xpress 2 commuter, I like the price of the xp lite 2.0, however the increased speed and distance of the xp4 750 as well as the accessories it comes with on the current sale sounds really nice to me however I've heard that folding bikes aren't worth the hype and that's why I also have the xpress commuter as an option, I want an ebike for basic travel as a car replacement but I don't usually travel too far or too much but just something as a fill in for when I need to travel, I do live in flordia and to my understanding won't need registration or insurance but if I'm mistaken on that please inform me, thanks for your time!!!

Hey guys so my Eleglide m2 dipslay ( bluetooth version ) was damaged and I wanted to replace it. It is sold out in the official eleglide website and says it will be back maybe in 2 month, but I can't wait that long. Can you please suggust a display that would be compatable and has all the functionalities that the old display has and works without any issue. It is okay if the new display don't have bluetooth and the app version i just want to ride my bike again.

Thank you

It’s so annoying

Posting in case someone finds this helpful. My son bought this e-bike used from a friend. It had bald tires and the brakes were shot. There is no information on the Lelekuai website on the specs for the brakes and no info online like a YouTube video showing how to change them. Lelekuai was no help at all.

These Shimano style brakes on Amazon work and are cheap.

These tires are good quality and were easy to put on.

When changing the brakes you need to loosen the cable all the way for the piston to retract. Otherwise you can’t get the pads over the rotor. I hope this saves someone some time.

Edited to fix typo.

I'm looking to build a really annoying security setup that will put off most prospective bike thieves. I live in Southern Mexico and the bike is a Santa Cruz Skitch with a value is around $2700.

Currently the plan is anti angle grinder LITELOK X1, an additional second lock (lighter) D/U lock or medium chain and the WSDCAM motion censor alarm.

Is a second D lock worth the extra weight? Unless it's another anti angle grinder (heavy/expensive) lock most D's can be bolt cut in seconds. It is more annoying for thieves to have to deal with a chain and a D?

I have a Lectric XP3 with hydraulic brakes. I recently bought a brake lever lock, that locks the brake lever so the rear brake is engaged.

The idea is that I don’t live in a high crime area and if I want to stop and run into a shop for a couple of minutes, I don’t want to have to drag out my big chain lock.

I do turn off the battery key and take it with me.

My question is, will having the hydraulic brakes engaged for some period of time have any adverse effects on the braking system?

Make sure you check the ebike serial number and check the artery what size is and get screenshot on serial number and battery ok thank you

My old ebike from 2010 had a distinct whine when the throttle kicked in, something that actually stood out. My current ebike doesn't have that anymore, it's just a generic whine that sounds like every other ebike and scooter I hear on the street these days. Philly has a heavy ebike and scooter scene, so I'm curious if others here notice the same thing, like older motors had more character while newer ones all blend into the same sound. Would be cool if motor sound was more distinct again instead of everything sounding identical.

I’m afraid Ill have to replace the entire tire and tube, what’s the best solution? I believe it’s a roofing nail that happened to be on the sidewalk/bike path.

Looking for ebike for my daughter who is 10 years old. Has anyone used this product?

The photos listed are the parts I have chosen, some might change but this is looking like a final list. Before I get any recommendations for e motos instead of building this, my parents won’t allow me to get a e motos even if I buy with my own money. If you have an alternative bike that would work better for around the same, i’m all ears. and if anything is wrong with my part list please let me know, i’m looking for help not constructive criticism or any off handed comments.
