$799 Lectric XP Lite Folding eBike - 48v 300 watt - 20mph - Lectric Blue

[@AMP3083official]

I just rode mine for the first time today. I rode it pretty much around the city, parking lots, trails, highways and neighborhoods. I put it some mileage on it. It was fun and I nejoyed it. On my next day off work I will try to ride even further. And btw, this is the first ebike I've owned in my life. I have not rode a bike since the mid 90's.

Congrats on the new bike!

I am glad they got you this bike to review it before the release! One of my favorite KZbin channels by far!!

[@LuciferCrowOfficial]

This is probably the best review I’ve seen for this bike. I’m in the market for buying an eBike and I stumbled upon this bike for its value compared to other more expensive bikes with similar specs. Thanks and cheers!

[@kurukiddo]

Did you end up buying it?

[@LuciferCrowOfficial]

@@kurukiddo yes I did. Best purchase ever.

[@dreamweaver5869]

I love my XP but it makes sense that they ditched the derailleur because around town I hardly ever shift.👍

[@Alttabbins]

I rarely if ever shift my original XP. I pedal the entire time but I’ve found that one gear is perfect for me.

[@nd4spd325]

Thats a good point. I want this bike for camping. We aren't doing trails etc. Just putting around. I think one gear with some assist will be nice. And at 200 cheaper means when I buy 2 we save $400.

[@Alttabbins]

I love this bike. LOVE it. I’ve owned an original XP since your first review convinced me that I needed one. Ever since then I’ve had friends who thought that $1000 to $1200 for an ebike was just out of their budget. This bike is an easy recommendation since it’s from a brand I trust and at a price that will be easier to tell my non biking friends. Thanks again for your videos, you’ve kindled a passion in my life.

[@chris4484]

Does the fact that it’s only a single-gear bike affect it’s performance? That’s something i’m a little worried about tbh

[@LisaLightning]

So do you actually have this bike or are you are still driving the original XP? Wish there was a sweet spot of a 55 pound bike with the bigger battery but small wheels and a few other amenities.

[@RoughRaiders13]

I just got one used in mint condition on FB marketplace for $150. Absolutely love it.

[@jordanhefley7365]

Mine arrived 2 days ago. I love it, his negative issues are non existent on the one I got which must be newer. The rear light has 2 bolts, and battery is very secure and quiet. My one complaint AT ALL, and its a small one. The charging port is on the inside part of the bike when folded, so it must be slightly unfolded for the charger to go in the port.

[@EBikeBuilder_]

Kev THANKS I appreciate you doing some REAL WORLD range testing, and giving your viewers some REAL DATA to work with!! Manufacturers always exaggerate range!! That's one of the most important buying considerations is your battery capacity and range. It's very misleading when they are telling you "40 miles" and then you ride it and get 10 miles. Not enough battery capacity and range is one of the most common reasons for outgrowing your first ebike early.

[@pedrofernandez8729]

Lectric is looking for a younger clientele with this bike, but I think a lot of older folks might go for it as well. I wish I could trade mine in for it. The low weigh and simplicity is what appeals to me.

[@KevCentral]

It’s been well received by all age groups in the time I’ve been on mine

[@paulmaddox8251]

Great review! I think I just saw the bike I've been trying to build!!! Perfect "last-mile" commuter bike for bus/bike transit, and fits in a closet, and I can do $700-odd bucks. KEWLLLLL!

[@victorkan7288]

Great review again Kev. I think most people will be drawn to the website at $799 but then buy the XP 2.0 for $999, the $200 delta is really negible given the value of the larger battery and more power. If the 45lbs is the greatest feature then I get it.

[@KevCentral]

Maybe. Of course there’s also the variable that an extra $200 may as well be $200k if you don’t have it. For those that do you might be right

[@EBikeBuilder_]

agreed on the battery being one of the most important buying decisions of an ebike. I feel like basically everyone ends up outgrowing that first ebike realizing "i need more battery". If you are getting an ebike with less than 15ah, I would say make sure there is an upgrade path to at least expand the battery somehow.

[@napilopez]

I think the weight and size thing may bebigger than you think, and it really depends on where you live. A lot of ebike buyers are in cities and if you ever have to take your bike upstairs or down onto a subway, the weight and folded size is a big consideration. I've often found heavy ebikes are more trouble than they are worth in NYC. I often feel that people who live in the suburbs or urban areas in the US tend to prefer larger more powerful ebikes, but most other places in the world there's a bit more of a careful balance I think. The 2.4-inch tires, and more importantly, normal-sized rims, mean you're also a lot more likely to find a bike shop that can replace your tires.

[@carrickdubya4765]

@@napilopez Yep I'm torn between these these e-bikes and standing e-scooters for portability. I have not gotten one yet since I personally think bicycles are more for exercise and the battery defeats that when they can be propelled without any effort.

[@LisaLightning]

That 20 pounds is a lot when you are a 120 pound woman. I just wish they put the stronger battery in the smaller bike. And I will have to add on fenders and a back rack which increases the money. I don’t know what they were thinking not trying to get the same battery in the Lite. Pisses me off. That’s what keeps stopping me from getting the Lite. Just got a competitor’s bike in the mail but the quality is very much lacking so it’s probably going back. (SAMEBIKE) And now I’m back to the drawing board.

[@jaymason480]

For the back light you could get a lock washer. Put a regular washer on first then a lock washer 2nd, that should fix your back light issue.

[@amandasmith8316]

I just got this bike. My husband had the 2.0. I'm short, making the 2.0 harder for me to ride. The lite is perfect. BTW I'm a 55 yo woman so the liter weight is a plus too.

[@KevCentral]

Congrats on the new bike!

[@SCOTTEDM]

Sold, I must have one.

[@mrs.parker663]

Great video! I’m going to buy this bike for my husband’s birthday. I think he’ll love it.

[@JD-co4hx]

I think they're going to sell a lot of these. Not as cool looking as the SUPER73-Z1 but I think it's in the same class and arguably a much better value. Just throw on some cooler-looking handlebars and maybe some skin walls. Please do a MOD/Upgrade session on one of these.

[@glennmartin6492]

My wife and I have two ICE cars. We'd like to switch to a single Ehybrid but it's three years to get a new one and used costs ,ore than new. So she's keeping her car which she uses once or twice a week at most and I'm getting an Ebike. This has most of the features I want.

[@kurukiddo]

Did you upgrade the brakes?

[@j.t5089]

Recognized the shoals from the first bridge. Then the tva trails

[@LanceAvion]

Lectric’s bikes were always a great value, with this model looking even better for me personally. However, my perfect Lectric bike would be something similar to the Lite, but with a belt drive and 3 or 7 gear internal shifter.

[@KevCentral]

Thanks for commenting. Belt drives are typically a bit expensive, so I would assume a similar Lite-Belt would be more expensive. It would be cool to see though!

[@LanceAvion]

@@KevCentral Even if I had to pay more, I personally would prefer it. Simply due to the lesser maintenance. I avoid derailleurs for that reason too. I’m sure there are others out there like me who want the most convenience possible.

[@StormyDog]

@@KevCentral I'm fine with the chain but would prefer a hub with 3 or more gears to be able to spin at a reasonable rate.

[@paulmaddox8251]

Ooo...belt drive! Hadn't considered that...like it!!!

[@Snotnarok]

Kev, I watched your channel for quite a bit before buying my first ebike .. almost 2 years ago? You're really something special when it comes to bike reccs even though I never went with a bike your recommended. I got a Himiway Cruiser recommended by "Another channel" because it looked like, on camera, a bike that I could ride around and people might ignore since it looked more normal. What I didn't know till later is the channel owner is over 6 feet tall and went off Himiway's BS claim that 5'2 people are fit for the bike. I'm 5'6 and I am too small for the bike- thankfully I'm used to it. But because of their height difference and not stating as such- not only is the ride a bit much for me but also the bike was much larger than I expected. So it stands out FAR, MORE, than what a lectric might. I get people stopping to complement 'how great my bike looks' and me being anti-social and just trying to get errands and basic stuff done- this is not what I wanted or expected. Genuinely, coming back after having my ebike to your channel I wish I listened a bit closer. Especially since himiway nerfed the top speed of 32MPH (unlocked) to 28MPH (unlocked) and not even the reviewer made any effort to say so. I mentioned it in a comment and they just said "yeah they did change it which is a shame" it's like- you knew and you said NOTHING, no update vid- just "here's me doing 32mph, this is great!" to that not being an option- at all. Sorry for the long comment it's just frustrating, to me that I didn't go off your recc. The bike I got works great- for sure, I still probably prefer the ride but you feel vastly more honest than other reviewers.

[@TommyJones49]

Waiting for step thu lite. Only makes sense "lite" for older or impaired. And "step thu" for older or impaired. Hello Lectric!

[@rlanesports]

I bought the XP lite clone "Gotrax F1" same frame same specs and only $599 only comes in black or white. It looks like the little brother to my 70ish Lbs Mihogo X1 and a lot easier to carry up and down some stairs. I plan on "bedazzling it" with new blk/wht camo bmx tires and a floding turtleneck stem from DavidBrandNew w/ BMX handlebars.

[@ELECTRICBIKEDIYLIFE]

It's probably 300w with a 500w peak performance. I just received my XP 2.0 yesterday. Went for a 7 mile ride today and it worked really well. I'm pretty close to the max rider weight too. Only things I'm going to change are wider handlebars and I'm going to put some wider platform pedals on it. Eventually I'm also going to get a front hub kit for it to make it a dual motor.

[@KevCentral]

Congrats on the XP!

[@tonytiger8248]

What’s the max rider weight. I’m 245. Am I too big.

[@louispaulter8733]

Great review KC, one of the best I seen so far of the Lite. Just for fun, please try taking it on a city bus to see if they let you on at all, AND that it is doable both for sitting or standing on bus. IF so, the Lite is crazy good urban transport value with some fun light trail riding capabilities to boot. Again great review, -- I esp. like you took it on light trails for fun exploring, not many reviews has done so, THANKS !!!

[@KevCentral]

Thanks. We don’t have city busses, so that’s not possible where I live

[@timsolomon8352]

[@eugene44569]

This would be a perfect place for a super flat area like the midwest or the gulf coast

[@tarstarkusz]

13:57 Hammer a curve into that flat piece (so that it matches the curve of the tube it's up against) and Loctite the nut and bolt.

[@StormyDog]

Wish they could incorporate something like an internal 3 speed hub into this. Maybe even front wheel drive with a Sturmy Archer type rear hub. Wouldn't add more than a pound of weight. It's important to keep the crank spin speed at a high enough rate so as to not damage the knees. Otherwise this looks like a good eBike for general use. I have the original Lectric with 20"x4" tires and very much like it. I use all the gears although mostly 3-7 and of course depending on speed and terrain.

[@noodles169]

Shame they don't sell the xp in UK. Id definitely be interested

[@Brad-Harris]

[@donna8243]

Awesome video. I look forward to the side by side comparison video you mentioned.

[@TB-xx4gc]

I almost grabbed the Lite as soon as it came out (I presently have the 2.0st) because of its light weight but the fact that it doesn't have the front fork suspension is a deal breaker for me. I bought the 1.0 when they came out and the constant slamming of the front end (not good for a guy with 3 back operations) pushed me to move on to the 2.0.

[@railfan100]

be aware of the fact that all these inexpensive (relatetivly) have junk supension forks they all use the same fork....they clunk when going over sharp bumps....I prefer the straight no nosense frame.

[@fishlanding]

yep I own RadPower Mini 2 its 65lbs +, I had a RadWagon and RadCity but wanted to try a folder. my wife has a Swagtron EB7 and it weighs around 45+lbs and is noticeably more compact than my Mini 2..... I'd like to try the new Lectric XP Lite but at it's price and lack of fenders and maybe less power up hills and lower range.... eh not so much.... I can say the Swagtron does well on portability, storage and distance... one speed and mag style one piece wheels..... to boot... Lectric does some impressive marketing through KZbinrs like you, but I'm going to wait and see for now...... if they lowered the price by $100 ...... that would be VALUE

yup with low low end ebikes, you can always spend just a little more and get something much much better. If you are already spending 800 ... why not spend a little more and get something that will last much longer with an upgrade path.

[@LisaLightning]

I wish someone would address the fact that these bikes are not returnable. Every other electric bike is returnable. I’ve never seen a video of a short woman on one of these bikes, I’m 5‘3“ and I would like to know how far the reach is because I want to sit up like it’s a cruiser. I’m tempted to order it but really put off by the fact they’re not returnable.

[@annv4338]

I’m not sure how far the reach is but I am only 5’4” and I have the original 1.0 XP and the reach isn’t a problem for me. The Lite has a little shorter reach I believe. I did rotate the handlebar a little on the original and it does help somewhat. I will be getting the Lite in two days. Just wanted something lighter to put in my vehicle but I love my original XP and will keep that one too.

Great review. I love the lite style but i's 6.0ft 250 lbs , I think this would be to small for me.

[@purplegarage05]

I have one question and one question only! Can you do a wheelie on it? 😆

[@KevCentral]

I’m sure it’s possible, but I can’t get the throttle timing right. I’ve tried 😁

[@EBikeBuilder_]

rear hub motors are very prone to wheelies with 20" wheels when you start going 750w and beyond. Throttle only anyways. I think thats one of the reasons they don't really make 20" wheel ebikes with 1000w rear hubs. In terms of pedaling wheelies yea it can be done i've flipped my Aventon Sinch back and scraped off the end of the rear fender flipping it over. But It's not easy to maintain that balance point with the heavy battery and wacky geometry of the folding bike frames. The throttles usually kind of ramp up power gradually and are not that useful for wheelies.

[@evelinebroekhoff1135]

Great bike Great price

[@scubatrucker6806]

[@RhonnelAlcaraz]

[@jaycarneygiants]

you really should check out the Jupiter X7. very similar but with a derailleur and rear suspension.

[@geraldetzold]

Exactly the bike I am comparing this with. $400 more. 36v vs. 48v. We have an X5 and love it.

[@KevCentral]

I took a look at the Jupiter X7 this morning after seeing Raising 3 Boy’s comment. My initial thoughts are that it does look cool, but at $1195….here is where the Lite beats it: -48v vs 36v -That rear suspension won’t do any more or less than Lectric’s suspension seatpost ($74) -Weight 45 for the Lite, 48 for the X7 -Lite has a wider seat height range ⬆️ & ⬇️ -X7 has no rack capability that I can see -Price: Lite is ~$400 less ($325 with seat post) That’s not to say there isn’t a market for the X7. That’s a snazzy looking frame, but I think weight and budget is where the Lite will find it’s audience.

[@geraldetzold]

Raising 3 Boys, Have you done a review on the X7. Your review on the X5 was one of the reasons we bought one for our camping trips. Seriously considering the X7 and the Lectric Lite. Not many reviews on the X7.

[@jaycarneygiants]

@@KevCentral we've had the X5 and the Lectric XP 1.0 for 2 years now. Both are great. The X5 was $599 and XP $899. I agree that the X7 is overpriced at $1200. The XP Lite seems like a good deal in comparison. But I find it odd that Lectric didn't continue with suspension forks (like 2.0), lowered the power, and went even farther away from the original with thinner tires yet again. The rear suspension on our X5 does work. I replaced the spring with a softer version and I can assure you it's noticeable.

[@jaycarneygiants]

@@geraldetzold I would be in the market for an XP Lite but Lectric lowered the power. We have the XP 1.0 and after we load up with a kid seat and trailer it's biggest problem is lack of power. If Lectric had gone to a 500 watt 52 volt system or a 750 watt 48 volt I would have ordered a Lite already

[@polish9817]

Computer broke off after having bike for 50 miles, not covered under warranty. I rode on smooth ground didn’t hit potholes. Contacted them, not covered I’d have to eat the cost. If I stand on pedals if I want to take the bike for a climb, the crank seems like it’s skipping a tooth on the belt. Belt tension is set perfectly fwiw. Leaves in only a seated position. Not a deal breaker but it’s annoying. Since I was still in return window, tried doing to return it, I couldn’t since the computer was broken off. Tldr think I rather stick to riding a rock

[@johnstack5008]

I've got the lite but I wish I didn't get it. I understand them trying to cut costs and reduce weight, but I find the lack of gears to be too limiting. It's almost useless for pedaling over 10mph. I find myself using the throttle almost all of the time.

[@rbo350]

This looks like a fun bike, my main concern is assembly, so when I saw you put this together I was surprised and feel more confident that if I were to buy this I'd have no problems setting it up. I saw the XP 2.0 and love everything about it but the assembly part is what scares me thus might be a deal breaker if I bought it and couldn't fully assemble it.

[@annv4338]

The assembly is the same for both the lite and XP 2.0. Slide in the handlebar stem, adjust your seat, fold the pedals out and pump up the tires. No real assembly. Also charge the battery it may not be fully charge and this can take a while. The bike comes folded so just unfold and make sure it is locked in place. If you check out the Lectric site they have videos on how to do everything once you get your bike. They also tell you to check all the bolts and screws to make sure they are tight.

Just not sure it would justify the price difference.

I'd get a step through. Even if the standover height is low, you still have to swing your leg up and over the seat to mount it, or at least I do on my similar folding bike. Some of my favorites are Aventon Aventure step thru, Aventon Sinch step through, Rad has some step through bikes

@KevCentral Glad they sent you a battery for the review. My wife ordered an XP Step Thru and the bike shipped after 10 days, 17 days after ordering they decided to ship the battery. That's 3 days after we received the bike. Both the bike and "spare" batteries were listed on their site as "ships within 1 week". I like the bike but their shipping and handling are senseless. There shipping invoice lists the one and only battery as "spare battery". She was told via email on the day the bike arrived that "yes our batteries DO ship separate, 3 days later FedEx had the battery in their possession. Meanwhile their site says "batteries MAY ship separately". Another customer on a Facebook group had the same experience but was told his order must have fallen through the cracks and they FORGOT to send his battery. Sadly this "eXPerience" isn't giving me a rosey outlook on their business practices.

I know on the XP 2.0 model I have the bike and the battery shipped separate. I was surprised to see it already in the Lite.

[@kobefan2472]

It would have literally been the perfect bike if you could unlock some speed and get it to atleast 25 …. Although I’m really debating this vs the 2.0 because the mobility of this lite is amazing! But the bit more speed of the 2.0 is also appealing I can’t choose ….I’m just wondering how heavy would the 2.0 be for a 5’8 guy like me

[@KevCentral]

2.0 is a bit more bulky and heavier, but it’s still nimble to ride. The size and weight is most noticeable when trying to stow it in an RV or while folded.

[@kobefan2472]

@@KevCentral at first I was so sold on the 2.0 even after seeing the lite because that 28mph is extremely appealing but the weight n mobility of the lite has got a grip on me… is the weight really that bad on the 2.0.? My thoughts on the lite are is it actually light enough I could fold it up and like carry it around inside somewhere around with me effortlessly? If so then it might be the one

[@KevCentral]

45lbs and the nature of how folding bikes fold wouldn’t be something you would want to try to carry around like a suitcase, but it is noticeably lighter and more compact than the 2.0. For me, I like the Lite best - and that says a lot, because I have plenty of love for the 2.0

[@VOOODOOO37]

Excellent review. I RV full time, so it would be great. 9 miles on battery alone is more than enough. I will pedal some too, haven't tried a pedal assist bike yet, must be strange. Looks like you live in a great area for riding. What city was that?

@@KevCentral very cool, thanks!

There’s an RV campground at the river too! 😁

@@KevCentral sweet. I'm gonna camp there and go to the Ren Fest, heard the town adopted the Renaissance Fest. Looks really nice there.

They said it may take a day or two to get it in the system if they agree to add it. If not, let me know when you order and I’ll get you a sticker

[@davidbrigham8319]

Kevin I am thinking about buying the xp lite in blue. I weigh in now @ 260 lbs I see the bike is rated @ a payload of 275 lbs? If you're even say 285 lbs is it going to damage the bike or etc... what's your take on it thanks Dave love your videos.

[@KevCentral]

Thanks for watching. Life is a good bike, IMO. Lots of fun. It will haul 260lbs, but speed and range will be reduced slightly. If the load needs to be 285 regularly I would be considering the 3.0 or other bike. I hope this helps out….if you do decide to buy one please use one of my links 🤑

[@davidbrigham8319]

Thanks Kevin what about the jasion eb7-2.0??

[@JamesEvans-ow1wc]

PSI for stock tires? 😮

[@billwhite2818]

Is there a need for gears on an eBike? You seemed to be getting along pretty well w/o them. I live in a hilly area, and wonder if this could be a good option.

[@KevCentral]

Hills drain the battery significantly faster

[@Zoyx]

Would street tires (slicks) work with this bike? I would think street tires would add some range and be quieter.

[@KevCentral]

Stay tuned 😁

[@Zoyx]

@@KevCentral - Woot!

[@BongToker]

I need help And no one can answer this for me so far so far😢? Is the handlebar size 22.2mm

[@derekr5327]

Can one convert this from a single speed to a multispeed?

[@dogit1840]

Looks more like baby blue to me

[@SonjaTheDork]

Is the drivetrain standard or are the cranks paired to a proprietary bb? I'd love to get one of these and play around with it, perhaps make the lite an extra light iteration.

[@bruzza3031]

Check out Aostirmotor a20 folding ebike 25 MPH on eBay for$739 500 watt 36 volt but fast but the battery is on the seat post in the back and you can take it out but I taped around the top around the frame of the bike so it would just stay there nice and secure no weight in the front
