[@ReesePeterGriffith]

I liked the controller better on my 2.0. I like to ride at about 10-12 mph but on an incline, I need the extra boost from the throttle. Same when you are starting from a stop. Nice to have that initial boost. But you cannot get it in PAS1. I find that I am using the PAS control more like a throttle. I wish They would allow full current at all PAS settings. Also, the PAS settings are not evenly spaced. PAS1=10mph; PAS2=15 mph; PAS3 = 18mph, PAS4=19mph and PAS5=19mph. As I said, I liked the controller on my 2.0 better than my new 3.0

[@LoLHahaLolHahaLol]

How much do you weigh?

[@davidbourne8267]

3.0 is a scam...the bike throttle only is way slower than the 2.0 and feels like the motor is going to die when going up hill. The 2.0 is a better bike..don't waste your money.

[@LoLHahaLolHahaLol]

@@davidbourne8267 is it because the bike is heavier? I noticed the 3.0 has a higher weight capacity? With the same engine?

[@ReesePeterGriffith]

I agree, I wish I had not sold my 2.0 I liked the controller better. With my 3.0, it is fine if you just want to go fast, but if you want to go slow, say 10mph on an incline, forget it. @@davidbourne8267

[@bradosborn2354]

This was a great review. I was all over the board trying to decide for my wife and me what to buy our first Ebikes. You helped me decide, and I just spent $3,575 for two XP 3.0 and several accessory upgrades using all your affiliate links. Hope you get a good commission from my purchase. I think your review earned it.

[@johnd1536]

Yeah I just bought the 3.0 & I have no problem going from a stopped position with throttle. I love my 3.0.

[@ghoneyp1718]

We purchased 2 XP 3.0s Love them. We did not get the step throughs. I'm 5'1", and it's working well. I'm 63 yrs old. And adjusted very well to it. Using my ebike has helped enormously with my balance. I can now put pants on without falling over.😊

[@DrTofutybeast]

Yes after concussion I have regained a lot of balance riding a step through ebike.

[@AKing99]

❤ love those hidden benefits, I'm getting ready for knee surgery and ebiking is like medicine !

[@ghoneyp1718]

I agree 100%.

​@@AKing99have a bad knee too, but I'm not doing surgery, heard too many negative outcomes, just may take a year of more exercise.

[@JonathanKayne]

Bought myself the step through long range one last week and it came in two days ago. I’m somewhat experienced on regular bikes but had never rode on an Ebike before, and boy was it fun after the first 2 minutes of adjusting to the different behavior. I seem to prefer pedal assist 1-3. About my only complaint with this bike is how loud those brakes are.

[@CraigDyer]

Always use brake cleaner on new ebike rotors...

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

Nice.. Not many bikes will be able to leave that 3.0 in the dust. Good they gave it a nice peak boost to stay up with bigger bikes.👍😁

[@NRP1991]

Great to see this bike updated review. I also really really like you showed the output on the screen so we can see the amps awesome video. Definitely going to buy this bike soon after I enjoy my xpedition. 😊

[@gen2-x364]

Enjoyed your video. Purchased my Lectric XP 3.0 step-thru long range ebike back before the upgrades......like the end of May of this year. Lectric sent an email stating that I could order the FREE upgrade and following that the FREE new PWR Module. As of this writing my FREE upgrade is heading my way which will consist of a front tire and tube with a new wheel with the rotor and hydraulic brake all attached with just the rear caliper hydraulic brake system. When Lectric sends the email for the PWR Module I will then order that FREE upgrade. Cool ebike and a top shelf company that stands behind their product. I'm enjoying my bike a lot. Put a Cloud9 seat on my bike and it's super comfortable. Water bottle cage with water bottle. Also a screen protector from Esty. Going to put a bell on at some point too.

[@gordonsaye9183]

I purchaed my 3.0 in December of 2022. I want to first state how much fun this bike is to ride when everything works. However, I just got it out of the shop today after spending $180.00 for repairs. Here are the issues I have delt with. I am on my second battery after the first one failed to hold a charge for ten minutes after about 600 miles. When it did work, it never lasted past about 20-25 miles no matter what settings it was on. The second battery has lasted a little better. The bike now has 2000 miles on it and I get close to 30-35 miles on a single charge. I got the updated brake system and had it installed at a Lectric recommended shop and also replaced the tires at around 1200 miles. The reason it was back in the shop was to replace the replacement rear brake assembly and hydraulic line as the line failed and leaked all over the assembly.I had to replace the rear tire for the second time as it was worn out at 800 miles. I am 67 years old, 6ft and 220 lbs and only ride on the street. Has anyone else had tire wear issues? In September, I got an email from Lectric stating they would be reimbursing people for the cost of the brake changeover. I replied asking if I was elligible for for this and also called them. I'm still waiting on an answer. In 10 months of ownership, I have spent almost $300.00 for what I feel should be warranty repairs, worn out tires and brake adjustments and replacement of replacement warranty parts. Time to shop for a new bike. The cost of ownership and maintenance is too high for this bike.☹

[@kareninthewoods111]

Thank you for your you tube review!! We just ordered two XP 3.0 step thru's and some accessories all through your link on this you tube. Hope you get credit for it! Thanks for a clear and interesting review without hype and sales puffery. We appreciate it.

[@charlesr7690]

The free Hydraulic Disc brakes were a subtle way of hiding that there was a recall on the the 3.0. the brakes that came with the bike were recalled due to reports of failure resulting in several injuries. Saying that, the bike as well as the company is a very good deal. I still wish that they moved the position of the key. It is really annoying to have to fiddle around to find the key hole. Ride 1up, also has a comparable e-bike called the Portola.

[@user-qw5uc7fr6m]

Did they find out the specific issue for the recall? Is it fixable by your self or a dealer?

[@GGg-ic9ku]

Just bought the extra range XP 3.0 & used your links. 🎉🎉🎉 Have been reviewing affordable eBikes for the past month, riding VEO eBikes around town where I live, even tried a Jetson HAZE, from Costco, which I quickly returned. Your videos help me make the most informed decision combined with your wonderful Midwestern accent and rides around a town that reminded me of the western Chicago suburb. I grew up in years ago, always nice. Thanks for such great videos and guidance. Hope I can maintain it on my own for the most part, have your video saved on adjusting hydraulic brakes to check everything when it arrives

[@gunstargizmo]

Great bike for the price. This brand was suggested to me, but I'm not a fan of the glossy paint and twist throttles. Plus I like to have rear suspension. This is definitely a good introductory Ebike that doesn't break the bank.

[@AngryUnboxer]

Hello, Nightmare with Lectric XP 3.0. My bike came with a pre-popped rear tire, plus it won't start. I called and I asked about returning the bike when I spoke to someone on the phone shortly after receiving the bike. They did not mention that I only had 14 days to return the defective bike (not starting and flat rear tire). Instead of explaining the policy I was sent replacement parts which of course take time to get to me. By the time I received the replacement parts and installed them and the bike still doesn’t work I was past the 14 day period. Good customer service would have been to mention this policy to me when I asked about returning the bike. I have waited for over an hour just to talk with someone so I would expect to be given all the information I need after waiting so long. It appears that I may not have any option to return the bike at this point. It is completely impossible to send the bike back in it’s original packing materials per their policies on returns. You have to cut those materials off in order to unbox the bike. There is no way to remove it so that it would still be in tact. This policy is simply to make it more difficult to return defective products along with the completely arbitrary 14 day return policy. By sending me replacement parts and not mentioning this policy Lectric deprived me of my right to return the bike. Apparently I am not able to return my defective Lectric bike. Don't do it. Just don't. The Angryunboxer.

[@DFuzzy1]

I had been looking at Lectric XP 3.0 for awhile and decided to order through your link. We got two step throughs with all the accessories including the cart for our dog. I opened the first box and put the bike together and declared it my wife’s bike. Then I opened the second and it became “mine”. Well the first has had zero issues, but “mine” has had numerous problems, beginning with the derailleur. It was noisy and would not shift into first gear. After watching several videos on adjustment, I was able to set the limit screws, but it still wouldn’t shift up and down through the gears without hanging up somewhere in the middle gears. After hours of tinkering and rewatching videos, I got it to work, but still noisy. Then after riding for a couple of days (7 miles total) I found the rear tire entirely flat and off the rim. It wasn’t a pin hole, when using an air compressor to fill the tube, the air rushing out of the tube was louder than the air going in. It was ruptured. Since then I have viewed numerous videos of flat tires, especially Lectric XP’s and usually the rear tire which is the hardest to repair. Even Lectric’s website seems to indicate a problem with burrs from the spoke nut causing these problems. Oh, and there was NO SLIME PRESENT in the tire as claimed in their advertising and all the Reviews I watched. Not particularly happy with QC at Lectric.

[@EbikeEscape]

Did you reach out to Lectric?

[@phoebesnow6986]

Great review. We have two 1.0 Step Thru's and may upgrade soon. But even the earlier 1.0 model are terrific bikes. My senior husband and I found the totes to be a bit much lifting each bike twice to load into the car - once to load the bike into the tote and then the tote w/bike into the car. We gave up on the totes and now both lift the bikes together just once to the car as they are heavy on your back to lift twice. Wouldn't be an issue if we were younger.

[@sbukosky]

I bought two 3.0’s in December and January so have the mechanical brakes and previous controller. Not long ago I also bought the Trike. Besides the hydraulic brakes, the controller must be the same that is in the new 3.0, other than the speed limiter. I like the pas step up in throttle.

[@JamesJames-qj6nn]

Ordered one with extended battery yesterday and really look forward to giving my first e-bike s go.👍

[@geeseylynn]

Yes, it has cargo attachments that hold their own shopping cases and even a thermos. Child seats are also available! Check out the links.

Thanks great review, I’ve been between the lite and 3.0 this review the better deal is the 3.0 don’t foresee me folding it up much and transporting it, if at all.

Very good review... Calm and clear. I have a new XP 3 long range with passenger seat. Love the hydraulic brakes. Just getting used to the bike.

[@weareallamericans7358]

Throttle should be FULL POWER independent of the PAS Level. You never know when in Emergency you need it !😲!

[@lauriej4597]

I agree 100%. Just got a 3.0 and it sucks regarding the throttle. My 2.0 is so much more fun when the throttle takes off fast. It’s safer at intersections that way. Wish Lectric would have been up front about that or we would not have bought it.

[@gimpman1357]

Agree 100%. I will stick with my 2.0 and won't be upgrading to 3.0. Funny how no reviewers mentioned this?

Very happy with mine, the features are great. June 2024 there still isnt a better bang for your buck on the market. The hydraulic brakes and uprgraded torque make this thing one hell of a cruiser. Class 3 mode recommended, but be safe kids.

Horrible horrible idea to limit throttle when in lower PAS. So I am trying to cross a busy road, at full stop in PAS 1 or 2 and I am limited in throttle power?? Just stupid. Deal breaker, decided to not get a 3.0. keeping my 2.0 until they revise that feature. Thanks for the heads up. Lectric lost a sale. Hopefully not forever

[@timhei7584]

You can change it by using a higher PAS setting from a stop.

My 3.0 step thru was delivered today, 8/10/23 and NO battery included , also No key and No key ignition switch mechanism in the frame. An hour on hold with customer non-service until I gave up! From past experience with their Email service, mine will take 3 or 4 days.

[@EbikeEscape]

It's likely coming separately. Unsure why they do us but one one of ours last year the battery came before the bike. I've read they have been swamped customer service-wise but hopefully they're working on it. Definitely one of the better (best?) brands over a long term that has had solid customer service.

[@mrs.c5471]

I just got my bike last wednesday, without the battery/keys. They ship that separately. I got my battery/keys 2 days later. I got an aftermarket keyhole cover off Etsy, it protects the hole from water/dirt and makes it easier for people with bad eyesight locate the key hole. I just took my first ride today, and it was amazing! I got enough excerise with the fun of the motor!

[@dougharding5231]

I bought this bike with long range battery and high step thru in July 2023. I also got the comfort pkg with the big seat. It came with the hydraulic brakes. First eBike for me and I actually haven't even ridden a bicycle for over 30 years. I like the bike a lot but it does have a couple of things I don't care for. In fact, I'm wondering if there may be something wrong with it. First, there is a huge difference between PAS 1 and PAS 2. Big jump in power, which I don't like. The increase in power from 2 to 3 to 4 to 5 is all gradual like you might expect, but the jump from 1 to 2, as I said, is large. Is this how it's supposed to be? Second, I've ridden one other eBike and its throttle would give you up to full power no matter the level of pedal assist at that moment. Not so with the Lectric. It's based on current pedal assist. I'm not a fan at all.

[@jamesrobinson4769]

I plan on purchasing the 3.0 very soon

[@EbikeEscape]

Sweet! Enjoy

[@nelsonblackburn6605]

I've had poor luck with our two XP 3.0s as well as Lectric CS. The mechanical brakes are horrible (known issue). They supposedly notified XP 3.0 owners offering free hydraulic upgrade kits. We were never notified about the offer. Unfortunately, Lectric is no longer honoring this offer. The mechanical brakes (even the ones sent via a recall) are still horrible - and unsafe. I tried a few days ago and they refused to make good on this even though my wife and I bought 2 XP 3.0s in January - obviously AFTER the company was in the process of re-designing the brakes to hydraulic - yet still no help. Lectric customer service was not at all helpful...sorry we bought Lectric brand.

[@danbosovich3976]

i would stay with older version I have both older bike much better!

[@larrybennett6534]

I have both 2.0 & 3.0 in LR ST. I am extremely disappointed with my 3.0 not being able to have full throttle on assist level 1 or 2. I would teach people to take off with the throttle then pedal. But now the 3.0 has to be on pedal assist 3 or higher to get the throttle to go full. SO now when you take off in level 1 or 2 the bike has very little power, 2 amps in level 1 to get going with the throttle. It almost gets stick in the grass, its got NO take off power anymore. You can see in this video he is working to keep his balance starting out, cuz it don't get going. Nothing like the 2.0. I like teach a new ridder to start out on level 1. Not have them flying on level 3 when they start peddling just staring out. There is no way to change this throttle problem. I talked to Lectric & was told the new controller PWR can not be changed to get full throttle in level 1 or 2 anymore. Has to be on level 3 or higher. EVEN on leve 3 you don't get full throttle power. This just bites a deal buster!! Had my 3.0 for 3 days & looks like I will be selling it. Yes the 3.0 bike rides better than the 2.0 & the brakes are better but the new controller bites on the 3.0. Unless you bump to level 3 or higher, when you take off with the 3.0 bike it is now ballsless. Same for coming to a hill in level 2. Hitting the throttle does nothing! You have to quickly bump to assist level 3 so you have throttle control. This just bites. Love my 2.0 but not this dog 3.0. My 2.0 will do donuts, spinning the back tire. My 2.0 climbs hills faster & has more power, will run circles around the 3.0. This 3.0 has no power compared to a 2.0. Maybe if you did not know the difference it would not matter. I recommend looking for a used 2.0 forget this 3.0 it's a boat anchor.

[@rocketdog1]

Just bought two of the 3.0 step throughs for my wife and I with a ton of accessories for not much more than I would've paid for one Aventon. Aventon is a sexy looking machine, but we would've been close to $4K for two of them (probably over with accessories). Lectric had them on a sale for $950/ea including a pair of waterproof panniers, upgraded headlamp, and the all important bell. We added the comfort package seat/seatposts on both - huge difference. We also added a phone holder, lock, and large rear basket to both bikes. (Whew!). We haven't put too many miles down at this point due to weather and work, but so far what we have done has been an absolute blast. I have a trailer for the grandkids attached to mine that my granddaughter loves riding in! My only gripe so far is that with the large basket on the rear the bikes don't fold up quiet as narrow as without it (roughly 2" wider) - making finding a tote that will accomodate a bit of a hassle. When I finally find one that works well I'll update my comment with the brand/size. Great review!

[@sharon2434]

Lectric should ship the bikes in the tote inside the box.

[@EbikeEscape]

That would be amazing

[@FubarMike]

I've heard the new pwr controller also limits the throttle per pas level is that true? I like always having max speed available at any pas to quickly get through busy intersections or to speed up suddenly to accommodate impatient motorists

[@mcouture8169]

Good question. If you go back to around 10:40 - 10:50, you'll see "P22" has the option to set PAS speed restrictions to the "P8" (max speed) setting instead of restricted. I would imagine that it would apply to throttle as well, but good question to clarify.

[@lauriej4597]

No, we changed the P22 setting and it made no difference in the throttle acceleration. It’s extremely disappointing as my 2.0 is much more fun for the riding we want to do. In fact, the lack of throttle power is dangerous at intersections.

[@lauriej4597]

Yes, it’s true and it sucks. My 2.0 is so much better. If we would have known this we were not have bought the bike. Nowhere did we see that those changes were made. Now we are stuck with it.

[@grumpykat2909]

Is there a difference in pedaling between the Standard and the Step-thru XP 3.0?? I know the Step-thru pedals are lower. If there is, which is better?

[@EbikeEscape]

The pedals are in the same placement on both. The difference between the ST and Standard is just the actual placement of the top tube.

[@jfly2249]

Excellent starter bike at a competitive price but must get a UL listing. If Lectric won’t get their bikes certified, why should anyone else? I personally much prefer larger 26x4 tires as they are much more comfortable and handle obstacles much better than 20x4s. For short people, women, and older people with mobility issues, the little tire bikes are more accessible. My other observation is the small battery size relative to the competition. The Vitilan U7 is $1200 but with a 16ah battery and a much more powerful 750watt nominal motor and a 25amp controller, it can pull 1300 watts peak. Lectric probably has better after sales support, but you are still on your own for actually fixing the bike even if they mail you the parts for free. With China imploding economically right now, expect even lower prices on bikes next year. If I was working for an e bike company, I’d be putting my resume together, not advertising on CNBC trying to go public in this environment.

[@mrs.c5471]

I have to disagree, I had an issue, took my lectric xp 3.0 to the shop, called the company, they are sending it to me and will reimburse me the shop’s charge up to $60.00..

[@chrislognshot]

what is battery range on this bike if go 25mph

[@robertcarazo8839]

Looking to buy the 3.0 have been following electric since the 1.0. It will be my first Ebike. How do you recommend charging in a safe way. I have a family member that thinks it’s not safe due to all the battery fires. I’ve told them that it’s careless people. Can you recommend any good safe ways for charging the 3.0. I really want it and told them I would purchase a fire proof cover doing charging or something to contain the bike even the tote could work in cause. Thanks and advise. Enjoy the journey can’t wait to make the purchase. 👍✌️

[@EbikeEscape]

Here's what I'd do if I was worried: charge the battery inside in a centrally located spot where you live so you can keep an eye on it, plug into the wall and then the battery, opposite on removal and take the battery off the charger as soon as possible when it's full. Timers, smart switches can also be of help here. And of course buy from reputable brands.

[@jfly2249]

You could always buy a bike that has a UL listing. Not sure who makes the cells for Lectric, you want name brand cells(LG or Samsung) in lieu of UL certification.

[@HarveyWallbanger-ho2cq]

Just plug it in and run like hell

[@houseofroos]

How does it compare to Ripracer class 3 ? Other than the folding bit.

[@DriverJ-N]

The rip racer peaks at 1300w and it’s a 52v battery with a lot more wh … so more distance than even the long range Version of this bike… and I’m sure blows it out of the water when it comes to acceleration which is very important on the street

[@carolynroberts2924]

I have a 32° hill to climb (73 grade). Is there any ebike out there that can handle that on throttle only? If not, which bike will do the best?

[@anna-mariemarinelli3186]

Rungu bikes can do any hill on throttle only. I have the Rungo Dualie XR Rubicon. Love it but bought it to bring with my new camper van. It is way too big to fit in any van garage so I just bought the Lectric 3.0 for van travel.

[@nickob55]

wow what a bike for the money, I wish I could get one in Europe

[@DarrenSylvander]

Would like opinion comparison to Aipas. I’ve heard motor is quieter and that Aipas is actually the foundry that makes the Lectric frames. Is it a better value purchase getting the Aipas?

[@EbikeEscape]

Personally I like the brand name. I just have much more confidence in Lectric support and that is more important than if a similar bike is slightly better spec'd.

[@bhurd2008]

Can you tell me where you purchased the plastic box to store the bike in? I am having a heck of a time finding something that size. Also' are the dimensions you posted internal or external? Many thanks!

Thank yuo for the great review! I Was looking for a fun gift for my son and after this review I believe I have a winner. I will be reviewing their ship times and if it works for a christmas delivery I will definitely use your affiliate link, Thank you again for siuch an in depth review

Congrats. On vacation last week saw 2 people with these. One woman gave me an in-person full review. And now I’m sold!

Update: Day 2 of my new XP, and my wife tried it. Loved it. Looks like I'll be ordering up another one! Got the Thule Yepp seat for my 2 year old. Awesome. Very sturdy and secure. He loves it. Totally worth the money.

[@Syl214-pi4we]

I changed my controller but I like my old one better because of the take off on the throttle is better.

[@johnnygrillo2290]

Gteat video. If I buy the long range model, can I use a standard range battery as a backup on the same bike?

[@EbikeEscape]

Definitely, just make sure you have the step thru or high step battery to match your frame.

[@johnnygrillo2290]

@@EbikeEscape thank you. I also wanted to know how the bike does in hilly areas? I live in the mountains and wondered about the brakes lasting and how the battery would do. I appreciate your feedback and work.

[@daniellow655]

The worst thing you can do is watch reviews from sponsored channels.

[@EbikeEscape]

All opinions are our own.

[@kerusso3568]

Ice, so the upgrade now has a toque sensor vs cadence sensor?

[@EbikeEscape]

No. They changed the programming in the controller so it has similar riding characteristics like a torque sensor, but still utilizing a cadence sensor.

[@DrWho-Tardis]

Where’s the link regarding the ‘tote box’ to place the folded bike in?

[@EbikeEscape]

No link - this was an old one. But typically a 45 gallon tote should work - but verify the dimensions.

My XP 3.0 brakes are so bad at only 160 miles. Only then i found out that they were offering free hydraulic brakes. But they told me the offer expired so I’m stuck with a squeaky brakes now!!

[@timhei7584]

Clean your rotors with alcohol or brake cleaner.

[@jgeph2.4]

Which bike is better overall this model vs the xpedition cargo bike ?

[@EbikeEscape]

Depends on your needs. Hauling cargo, longer range? Go with the XPedition.

[@ThomasJared]

Would you recommend getting the XP 3.0 now, or wait for the Lectric ONE?

[@EbikeEscape]

I mean I am heavily bias towards belt drive but to be fair I haven't ridden the production Lectric One yet. I can't wait to get one to start putting some true miles on it to really test out the Pinion gearbox. If your budget allows belt drive is the way to go in my book.

[@sharon2434]

Can you use standard and long range batteries in any electric bike ate they interchangeable

[@EbikeEscape]

The Standard and Long-Range are interchangeable between other 3.0 and 2.0 models.

[@kennethwers]

I think you can get more for your money with a Vitilan U7.

[@davidwollmer8694]

Is it OK to charge your battery in a warm garage with these types of batteries?

I dont ubderstand flagship bikes they cost the same as other bikes that have longer range and are faster....can anyone 3xplain what im missing here?

[@paaao]

Just got one and they changed the throttle. I wish I stayed with RAD. Now you can't twist the throttle to go faster while you're in PAS 0,1,2. So dumb.

[@lauriej4597]

I totally agree. My 2.0 is much better. Now we are stuck with this bike as it’s impossible to return it. Customer service is a joke at Lectric.

[@TheTexasDuke]

4.0 coming in October! 😂 we all see the game. Have the KZbinrs promote right before

[@EbikeEscape]

We don't think so. This is a big change for the XP 3.0. They could have easily called this the 4.0 if they wanted to.

[@AEFisch]

Throttle tied to PAS level makes no sense. The twist throttle lets you go as fast or slow as you want at 5. Worse, if you are in pas 2/3 and hit a hill, you can't just bump the throttle for help and now PWR is not increasing the help on the hill either.

[@EbikeEscape]

I can see a use case for it. But it would be nice to decide how you want it to work. For newer riders having full access to the throttle can be unsafe.

[@dereksmith1803]

It's a tank òf a bike.You better have muscles when pushing the bike.Also it's a challenge the put the key in the bottom of the cross bar.Also it's tricky getting the battery out.I had to watch a video to learn how to get it out of the tube.The bike is to complicated for me.

[@user-ff1wp2ls8t]

I would be careful advertising “great customer service”. Bike looks well built, but arrived with read flat due to bad tube. Now no one answering phones and only canned email response. I can fix this, but thankfully it’s not more serious. They shipped in two days, why can’t they answer the phone?

[@debbiel7736]

Did Lectric ebikes give you the bike to post this review? I think your review seemed one sided. As was stated in a past post, the hydraulic brakes were sent to owners because of a RECALL, and then put on all further shipments. I think honest reviews are only from people who buy the bikes on their own.
