The Lectric XP and XP Step-Thru 2.0 ship as a class 2 eBike but they have the capability to change to a class 1 or class 3 eBike!
What does that mean? Let's break it down:
Classification | Throttle | Pedal Assist | Top Speed |
Class 1 | No | Yes | 20 MPH |
Class 2 | Yes | Yes | 20 MPH |
Class 3 | Yes (limited to 20 MPH) | Yes | 28 MPH |
This map outlines the laws for eBike classification in each state:
To find out what the regulations are in your state, you can also refer to maps provided by People for Bikes.
How to change your eBike to a class 3:
(To change the top speed of your bike to 28 mph)
Use the steps below to access the program settings in your display. Detailed instructions on how to access your program settings can be found in your Lectric owner's manual. This process will help make your bike a class 3 biking machine!
- Access the menu settings by pressing and holding the plus and minus buttons on the control pad simultaneously until the screen says "P1".
- From here you can cycle through settings by hitting the power button on the control pad. Adjust the settings by pressing the plus or minus buttons on the control pad.
- Go to setting "P08" and change it from 32 to 45 or higher. (These numbers correspond to Km/H)
- Press and hold the plus and minus buttons on the control pad until the main screen is shown once again.
- Power the bike off by holding the power button to save the settings you have just changed.
- After changing your settings, peel off the class 2 sticker on the bike's frame, below the seat, to reveal a Class 3 sticker. This change is required by law, as eBikes must be properly labeled with their top speed, nominal motor output, and class.
