Thanks for the guidance. The video was helpful. One thing to be aware of when replacing/rerouting the rear brake. If you have the Lectric lock option, you will need to remove the casing in order to get the brake or the brake lever end. I tried both, neither worked. The brakes are awesome. Thanks for the video.

So glad Lectric made good and switching us that got mechanical brakes on our 3.0 to the hydraulic brakes free. The mechanical brakes are horrible. Now I’m bugged though all new Lectric e-bikes after the 3.0 came out are already 750 watts. I would love to see a Lectric 4.0 with 750 watts max around 1200 watts. And the better 2100 cells. Cannot wait. E-mail says mine should ship out in 2 weeks.

Hi, Jeremy I've been following your channel since I got my first 1.0. I have the 3.0 now, and I got to tell you, while watching you hit the back brakes while holding the handle bar with one hand spooked me out, because I tried the same thing while going down hill here in the Bronx, and the force of those Hydraulic brakes threw me off of my bike man!🤯🤯🤯 I never had a problem doing this while riding my xp 1.0. Please give me helpful advice because I am now afraid to hit those Hydraulic Brakes with one hand on the handle bar. Thank you!

@johnstack5008 10 ай бұрын

I did this upgrade about a week ago. It's not hard at all. Someone with basic DIY skills should have no problem. If you are having problems with brake rubbing, loosen the caliper mounting bolts and insert a piece of business card between the pad and the rotor on both sides. Now lightly squeeze the brake lever and tighten the mounting bolts. Release the lever and remove the business cards. The brakes should be perfectly aligned and adjusted.

@MrThatvietguy 9 ай бұрын

I did your brake rubbing tip and it worked. I did it with some random rewards cards though so those were a little thicker but it worked great.

@tomc.4860 8 ай бұрын

I bought my Lectric 3.0 one year ago. It has worked flawlessly except for the front mechanical brake does tend to lock up. It was hard to believe that Lectric sent me a box containing a new front tire assembly and to hydraulic brake assemblies. I haven't put them on yet but I will shortly and I have to say that when I buy my wife an electric bike, there will be no question as to where I will buy it, the only question will be which model of Lectric bike will she want.

@georgecypher4568 10 ай бұрын

I have a xp 2.0 and from day one I could not stop with the brake system no matter what I tried .... Now let me tell ya first , I am a Auto Mechanic with over 25 years experience so I am very mechanically inclined so brakes like this are no biggy for me , but like i said above I tried numerous things. I cleaned the rotors , I tried different pads (actually 3 different pair of pads) I tried to adjust them til i was blue in the face . Finally i bit the bullet and went and picked up a set of XTECH self contained hydraulic calipers from Amazon and used the exsisting cables that the bike had originally . I also used the original brackets the calipers bolted to and the worked just fine with lining everything up as needed. First test it felt like i was riding a totally different bike . It stopped the way a bike with new brakes should ... Finally I Could STOP !!! I guess i should have told ya that I had less than 50 miles on the bike when I started this journey . When i found out Lectric decided to do something for the 3.0's I was going to call them up and start bitching but i guess why should i bother and where would it get me . I will just fix it myself and be done with it and lemme tell ya , I am glad I did . Now i do not have to worry about panic stops if i ever had one , and would it stop or just keep going . I love the bike but from the begining I was almost gonna sell it and get a different one cause the brakes "SUCKED SO BAD" ..... This is then how i found your channel , looking for a new bike . That is how sure i was gonna buy another bike , but now since the calipers were changed it is a whole new bike. I dig your channel JM !!! Keep up the good work !!

I have a question I just got my replacement brakes for the recall but I didn’t get a from wheel???? Is there a reason why you got one and I did not??? Is it even safe to put these on without the different size rotor?

@JeremiahMcintosh 8 ай бұрын

You get new mechanical brakes for the recall which doesn’t need a new front wheel. These were the hydraulic brakes they were sending out which was a different program before the recall that you had to sign up by the deadline to get and they required a new wheel to fit.

Lectric is just saving face by offering the upgrade you shouldn't be praising them. I got my 3.0 the second week in July so they should have just sent it with the upgrade but no. Now I have the e-10 error code and have to wait for them to send me the wiring harness and if it's not that then they have to send me some other parts because they cant confirm the exact issue. When I got the bike it had a gapping hole in the back tube. When my 2.0 got the e-10 error code they sent me a new battery which fixed it and now the e-10 error code can be any of numerous issues. I'll never buy another Lectric anytime ine the future because I'm tired of their bs.

@Bobster986 6 ай бұрын

At AiPAS's website, they have it hidden, but if you look hard, you'll find it. All these bikes are made by a handful of Chinese bike factories, and they simply rebrand them with different names. you know, the old bait and switch or whatever. The A1 Elite is currently on sale and for Black Friday they had even bigger incentives of free shipping and an additional $50.00. Did I mention they also have a horn, mag wheels, and turn signals? LOL Get one before it's over!

@JeremiahMcintosh 6 ай бұрын

I’ve never tested one so I really can’t speak on the quality or performance of the Aipas bikes. Most companies will design each bike a little differently to their own specifications including motor, battery,controller, brakes so even if they are from the same factory they are different and not just rebranded.

@Bobster986 6 ай бұрын

Call them and ask, but to satisfy your curiosity, why don't you put together a video of taking both apart to see if that is true, but I doubt it. The AiPAS bike gives you more feature compared to the Lectric (Horn, Mag wheels, turn signals), so it wouldn't surprise me that the components are better to.
