How is this accurate when you guys didn’t even start at the same spot or same time? What was the weight difference between the two riders??? Would not recommend this video sorry 😟

Sounds like you had great customer service. I bought a engwe e26 and the motor gears are making lots of noise. I got the run around treatment from them. I would consider this brand

Congrats on the new refrigerator! Weird coincidence because I replaced the unit in my house 2 days ago (!). It has been in the mid-30's here in Eugene, OR so I was able to keep my stuff cold outside in a couple of boxes while I waited for the new unit to arrive.

Surprised the Fn cat was able to get the baby jeep out

Tesla does it: there is actually a 12 volt lead acid battery in Teslas to run the 12 volt things. It charges with the same alternator technology as on gas cars, so only when the high volt lithium battery pack auto is running/rolling. Gas cars still need lead acid for starter batteries because of that same alternator technology and also internal combustion engines and both are designed to work with lead acid. If you have isolate connect controls on different battery type banks, it can and does work.

Hi Chuck, love your water bottle freezing indicator! Unfortunately I see a problem with your setup, in that, hot air rises, even pads directly contacting object do much better mounted on the bottom, so the heat rises into the battery! Also your temp sensor is right near the heating pad so reading a bit high, I think. So I’d mount one orange heat pad under each battery, and not use the new pad that always shuts off after a certain time. If you’re at home and the lithium’s are above 30%, just take them inside your house, or heated garage if you have one. Lithium’s don’t sulphate so no need to ever worry if they’re part charged. Just don’t let them discharge below about 12.5 volts, or a bit higher. Take care, and God bless.

Not an idiot... your batteries seem to be playing well together and liking their blanket. An idiot would warm the batteries by making a campfire on top of them.

Great video! Can you add a temperature sensor to your charge controller? My controller has a temp sensor that acts as low temperature protection

Got tired of looking at the ground. Maybe next time? lol

You shuld test your camera before filimhg the fits part of this video was uselss. Sorry but yu are also not fit enough to ride electric bike.

I thought I watched this one already ! Even though I subbed, I don't seem to get all of them. Darned YouYTube !

Hoping Mrs. Chuck is doing well after treatment. 1:37 "damaged it when putting in pickup"... the Lectric 2 is 75 pounds and really is hard for most people to lift and maneuver. 3:56 I ride my regular bike way more than the Lectric (which I bought mostly for Jackie RIP)., going on a 12 mile today, including a big hill. HEY: MY 2.0 controller failed twice (!). Bikes are far out of warranty but Lectric sent me replacement controllers. Point being, if you (or anyone else) has Lectric probs, give them a call, they are great to work with.

I bought a 2.0 step thru a year ago 4th of July ride almost every day have 2900 miles the only issue I've had was front rim cracked at seam they replaced right away other than tires it's a great bike

They Went Up To $340 Plus $15.00 Shipping.

Great adventure up in the hills. Im getting my Lectric 3.0 in a couple days. Second hand. But heck its gonna help pull my kayak around that regular pedal bike can get heavy after couple miles. Stay safe God bless

Put a 200 w heater down in compartment near the battery, might need a bigger heater though

I use lead gels and lfp. Drain is like an amp a day. I charge that in an blink of an eye when the sun is up.

This vid is much different than all the others. Definitely "on the grid" !!! I cannot remember meeting Mrs. Chuck before in previous vids. I was saddened to learn that she has a medical condition. Sounds like her treatments will be successful and you can go "off the grid" again! :) :) Best wishes to you and yours.

Thanks very much very honest review I’m gonna buy one next week. I’m still debating which one, but I really appreciate your simple honest evaluation.

Did you get rid of your lead acid batteries? Was having both lead acid and lithium on parallel a success or not? . You’ll need to seal every crack in those styrofoam sheets to keep the heat in. There will be a big difference when it’s 100% sealed.

That fridge is just using the electric to heat an element thats normally heated w the propane. It’s great to have the option, but heating w electric is extremely inefficient. It’s far more efficient to use a compressor based fridge w electric.

Try and stay sober next time

Find where you want your seat and tighten up a radiator hose clamp on the seat post and then it will go back to the same place every time.

Right. I’ve only read your title so bare that in mind before responding to my comment. I use lead acid batteries to maintain my lithium ion master battery topped off with electricity. My system works very well and I don’t understand how or why this may be idiotic. I use my batteries to power my internet network in my house for security purposes as it’s an off grid system. It stays powered for 6.70 days round the clock.

The electric battery warmers may not be enough in a couple months. I don't know much about these things but, "Topteng" is the name of a tiny propane-powered heater with a thermostat (!!!), costs about $60. Re, the heating mats.. putting the electric heating mats under that battery might be more efficient. The weight of the batteries should push them neatly into the Styrofoam. But like I said, don't know much about it, just trying to be helpful. :-} Edited: I pushed "like" but the count stayed at zero. :-{

I really like your intro music and video. I am considering buying an xp 3.0 so I appreciate you sharing your experience.

Also the lead acid will stay at rest at a lower voltage slightly. They usually read about 12.8 v rested not charged recently. And your Lifepo4 battery will stay around 13.6v to 13.4v at rest not recently charged. So Lifepo4 battery will be taking up the slack slightly, it will work, but best to use in near future, only use all Lifepo4 batteries in your battery bank. All characteristics between batteries of same type work well together. You have to watch your voltages between different types of batteries in 12v range. Keep all batteries wired together at same voltage as best you can. I know batteries are not cheap. 😊

Actually your okay, the lead acid batteries are charging the Lifepo4 battery because they are at a slightly over voltage over Lifepo4. Lifepo4 battery can handle a 100 amp charge so the lead acid was maybe 1 amp of charge to the Lifepo4 battery. You can keep charging at 14.2v on lead acid, so lead acid charging is actually lower than Lifepo4 charging at 14.6v. You are not too far off your Lifepo4 battery charging volts at a slight lower 14.2v, but its okay to charge Lifepo4 at a lower charge voltage. Pretty close to the same run time charging Lifepo4 at 14.2v lead acid charging vs 14.6v Lifepo4 charging voltage. They say Lifepo4 will last longer at lower charge voltage but at the expense of a slightly less run time.

What’s up chuck ,greetings from Vancouver Canada , just saw your video in my recommended feed so decided to “chuck” it out haha , thanks for the bike tip man.

Lectric 7-52-365 !!

0:30 WHAT AN HONOR, THANK YOU CHUCK !!! FROM ANDY IN EUGENE OR Edited: I had several flats on my Lectric, probably because I am so heavy :):). First flat was 10 miles from home. Not a problem, I called a taxi, made sure they could fit two foldable ebikes, and $45 later, we were both home, safe/sound. OK, me an one of the puppies went to McDonalds and the tire was flat. I called Jackie, she came to rescue me. Jackie DIED a month ago but after the last flat, I went with a slime system!!!

Lectric 7-52-365 !!

Chuck, you definitely need a small propane burner and a Moka Pot to ensure you have coffee in the morning. Ever had Circle K coffee? They have special coffee machines that grind your coffee beans and then brew them for you, all for a couple bucks!

I have videos on this, Slave Battery designs and group cabling these. Set your controllers to GEL setting, 14.2 charge and 13.3 float. The outcome is excellent but cable your LiFePO4 with 4 awg, your lead acid with 2/0 to the inverter. Your Lithium will be the voltage support to the Lead.

Absolutely nothing wrong with connecting Lead Acid to LiFePO4. It's how you do it, not if. I have been running 1100 AH of LiFePO4 with 3300 AH of Lead Acid for 2 years. You use lighter gauge wire from the lithium so it's your voltage support, connect your big loads to your lead acid with heavy cables.

when you put two batteries in parallel, on a connection pole you put a shunt and digital ammeter that shows you the direction and the current which way they go. currents up to 3 A are not so problematic

I've been in NW Arizona over 20 years, I was trying to move to Colorado, Im glad im staying here. Too many laws and people for me. Hopefully I'll live 20 more years or more. The closest big yown is a 200 mile round trip. I saw a big town on the year 2000, no thanks.

It'll work fine....... They are wrong...... Huge myth spread by manufacturers. They will work great together.😎👍👍

Interesting vid! The American Civil war killed more American soldiers than all our other wars COMBINED (if you count Union and Confederate losses as being "American"). My father is 98 and still with us. He is the youngest still-surviving American POW of WW-2 .

Rear brake went out and wasn’t worth a fuck 😂 realistic, I like it!

Thank you for this video, seeing the Lectrics made me cry a little. Jackie and I rode regular bikes every day for several years, that is how we met 9 years ago. I still ride my regular bike far more than my ebike. When her health declined, I bought a black Lectric 2 for me and a white one for Jackie. We rode together with a little dog in each basket for about a year, so our mileage kept equal. Jackie required heart surgery in May 2023. She was back to her daily swimming routine 6 weeks after surgery but, she worried about falling off the bike and rarely rode after surgery. Now, my mileage is about 1850 while hers is 'stuck' at about 1100. Jackie died yesterday of heart failure after a hospital stay for sepsis of the blood. She was very sick and her demise seemed near. She did not suffer. Seeing those Lectrics in the 'off the grid' setting somehow caused tears to flow, thank you again for that.

Hi, I just found your channel. Lead and Lithium combined is a good idea and from your 3-part series, you’ve seen same boat youtubers as I have. Lead has the push as you say but not stamina. For lead to last it is recommended not to take them below 50% depth of discharge (DOD) with optimal being not below 70% DOD. With your 360amp lead that gives you 2300w at 50% & 1400w at 70% DOD of usable power from a 4600w system, not enough to keep the fridge running over night without killing your batteries. Lithium you can take down to 20% DOD without affecting overall lifespan giving you 2000w of usable power. So now in theory your system is good for 3400w to 4300w of usable power without affecting the overall life of the batteries. In part 2 you show the monitor and solar input is 15.2v at 16.1 amps which is 245 watts going in and discharge at 13.1v at 18.9 amps is 247 watts of power going out of the batteries. If this was early morning, fair enough. But if this was in the afternoon and your batteries are only ¾ charged, you have a problem. If it was shown in the afternoon, your solar can’t keep up with you day usage with the fridge running, let alone any charging for the overnight use. General rule of thumb is average out at 50% of total watts of solar on flat roof. So, you definitely need more panels mate, at the very least another 600 watts. If your lead are old or have been discharged below 50% to many times, this will drain the lithium to keep the 13.2v float that lithium likes and lead loves. Check out this guy kzbin.info/www/bejne/jna6dniimax2nsUsi=Uc7ijRit31xP1H0O he’s done a bit now with lithium/lead combos and has some good results. Keep up the good work

I pushed the 'like' button and it did not work! Edited: ok, it works now. Hey, that is an amazingly artistic video a true work of art. Hollywood b calling you over that masterpiece !!!

buy a pair of gloves for riding,if you fall,they protect your hands. I use Harbor Freight mechanics gloves.

buy a 2000w honda generator,and you'll have 120VAC to charge your bike battery.

Did the repair work out for you? Who did you send it to?

Sodium batteries can discharge to a 0% charge, but lithium I think is 40% around 10V. I stop them around 11v to be safe. I believe you may have damaged your lead acid batteries and they will suck drain and waste power to the if there fried.

Lead acid was invented by the Egyptian's 4000+ years ago. They were just made better in 19centery. I always wanted to mix some to see what happened but I'm to pour to get a set so if I did I wouldn't be doing funny things with it lol

Do a barrel roll!!!

I tried to install a calendar app but accidentally installed a colander app instead. It keeps draining my battery!
