Lectric XP Lite

My opinion of what Lectric has done is: they’ve gone off the rails. They have lost their mind. My take on the design was: it’s meant to be a last-mile bike for those guys that commute inside the city. They have a place to store it at work and they don’t want something that’s so heavy that they can’t carry it upstairs. What they didn’t solve is: the bike doesn’t latch when it’s folded.

This bike is so underpowered, like, it’s perfect for old people. They’re not gonna get hurt and it’s perfect for like; children, teenagers.

Lectric XP Lite. Don’t believe the paid hype. For the price, it comes in pretty poorly, to be quite honest. Pretty much all of these bikes are made at a few of the same factories in China. I’m just really tired of seeing reviews from companies that are basically just a big, paid advertisement decorated as a review.

This thing weighs under 50lb and the XP 2.0 (the step-throughs and everything), they were nice but I am still able to reach 23mph on this one, downhill. I’m getting about 20 miles range out of this, so you kind of give up a little bit of battery power for the weight.

When we take the XP and the XP 2.0 and try to stick ‘em in the Jeep here, we actually can’t get both of them in the back without pushing the back seats forward a little bit so it’s kind of a tight fit. Voila! The XP Lites fit and the back seat is still all the way back so we can fit passengers.

This thing is lightweight, compact and super-affordable all at the same time. This one is definitely Lectric’s best bike and it is probably the easiest to recommend, coming in at that lower price point. I think it is almost the ideal commuter bike.

It’s one of the most inexpensive electric bikes I’ve personally tried and it’s definitely the best inexpensive electric bike I’ve tried.

My e-bike made it no problems. Mostly PAS 3. Energy bar has 4 bars still. 2 hours and 17 minutes. Mileage was 20.7mi and voltage is down to 46 so I still got probably another 3 miles left in it, which is pretty good considering there was quite a bit of hills.

Let me see how the battery’s doing. 2 hours, 18 minutes. 23.5 miles. 46.9. So it’s pretty good.

We started at 22 miles on the odometer and now we’re at half battery which makes for a total of 23 miles. My max speed was 24.4 miles per hour.

It’s small, stripped-down, nimble and inexpensive.

Now, this doesn’t have no speeds, which really doesn’t bother me any.

This one specifically is going to be for my wife to use because, you know, she’s a smaller, shorter person.

Before trying the Lectric XP Lite, I was skeptical that an e-bike would be able to ride like a traditional bike, provide uphill power and still fold up to a compact size. Well, the Lectric XP Lite does all those things and for a compelling price. I wish it had a little more range at top speed.
