    Question: my ecotric rocket is 3 years old and recently the motor always operates at approximately level 4. It has 0-5 levels. But even at level 0 it runs up to 17mph as if it's in level 4. This happened recently I believe after a rear tire change.

    Johnny love your videos. I have a question on a new build with a bafang 750 mid drive. Everything seems to be working, but only for like 1 second then motor slows way down, if let off of throttle when hit I again get full power for about a second then it cuts back to barely working again. Any help would be greatly appreciated , I do have another bike with all the same parts so I will change 1 piece at a time to try and find the problem but you might have seen this before.

    We bought two Lectric XPs. If yours arrives and works out of the box count yourself lucky. If it does not you'll spend a few hours underneath a brand new bike following emailed trouble shooting guides. If you fix your brand new bike you're lucky again because it's a high hurdle to get Lectric to get a new, working bike sent to you for the good money you've already paid. Things happen, we all understand that. The true measure of a company is how well it puts things on track, and makes a customer happy when things do go wrong. Lectric e-Bikes has a ways to go on this count. Be advised.

I've done 1100 miles on the bafang 750 watt. Today it has come up with error 12 motor kept cutting out then working again, did a weird peddly juddery thing. I did the off and on again thing and it worked then stopped. Finally I realised that the throttle would still work with out any problems. Luckily I had enough charge to get home on just throttle any ideas. It's really wet and muddy my bikes getting caked everyday I'm hoping it's some water in somewhere causing havoc???

Been through the continuity testing of the mosfets, etc. I totally thought I wasted my time watching your video! Decided to go back out in the garage and check all my connections... Eh, you nailed it brother! I'm eating crow. Sure enough the axle wasn't quite tight enough so it spun a bit and kinked the cable that goes through it, I straightened it all out and she fired right up! @JohnnyNerdOut for the WIN!

    Thank you 👍My issue might be severed cord. It seems only the black outer covering is cut in three places. I don't know how that could have happened but that cord seems responsible for my front break. My problem is that the wheels don't move as easily as before and the pedal assist isn't as strong as it was, as well as the throttle slows to a stop. When the wheels kind of lock and are hard to turn, the assist doesn't work and sometimes it works suddenly causing it to jerk. I wonder who I can take my bike to to look at it. Are there places that take care of bikes?

    I adjusted the brakes on mine, took up the free play on the levers with an allen key, and unwittingly activated the cut off to the motor !!!! When you pull the brake lever, it cuts power to the motor for safety, by adjusting the brakes a little too much, the cut off switch was permanently engaged. Just backed it off a little and all was fine.

    I was putting a 1500 hub motor on my cat trike. I turn the monitor on and was in the middle of putting my past word in when my phone rang. My grand son pushed the led pad buttons and it put a pass word in and I don’t have a clue what it is. Now I can’t get in. Do I have to buy a new monitor. Or is their a code I can put in. I bought it on line and the company I bought it from is no help. I don’t know why I put a code in anyways. I have to trike one is mid drive and this one has a hub motor. Can you help me or point me in the right direction

    thank you Johnny. I just removed the broken brake cable plus some small components, and while just started to riding the biycle, I pressed the brake and suddenly no throttle. I opened the youtube immediately, watch your video and you mentioned something about the brake. I reinstalled the brake component... whatever it is called in place, and walla, the bicycle ran again.

    Hi. Maybe you can help me troubleshoot. I have a converted e-trike with an MXUS motor hub that uses a 52v battery. Recently, any time I'd ride it, the e-trike turns itself off, then I turn it back it turns off again, then I turn it back on but won't come on unless I press the button 10x. Then it will come back on but none of the sensors work, then it just dies completely. To get it to remotely work again, I have to unplug the battery then replug it in, but it will not stay on long. The batteries are still good, (trust me, I spent $600 on a brand new battery and it's still doing that), they're fully charged, the voltage is fine, and so far the shop that did the conversions have found nothing wrong with it and it works PERFECTLY fine when they use it, but it immediately starts doing it to me when I bring it home. I tend to ride it at max speed, but this has never happened before, and even when it's not max speed it still does it. Is it something wrong with the hub, the motor, the display, the wiring? I need help figuring this out because this trike is my ONLY mode of reliable transportation.

    Can you help me? I checked all my connections . My display won't stay on. The bike is brand new out off the box. Think it's just the display needs replaced?

    You are THE MAN! My RADCITY lost power about 5 miles down the trail. Had to hump it back to my car. Spent some time checking it over. (What do I know about ebikes?) Watched this video and where you talked about the brake cutout got my attention since the power failure happened right after I applied the brakes. Went and checked out the rear brake lever and noticed that somehow the throttle cable had got caught in the brake lever opening. Releasing the brake lever was squeezing the throttle cable. Worked it loose and bing-bang-boom. Back in business with full power! Thanks so much. Like to buy you a beer and a good cigar.
