EBike Shootout $900 Lectric $1,100 Ride1Up $4,000 Trek

[@Chi-HacksAndDIYs]

LOL when you said, "I was waiting and waiting and waiting for Trek ebike to kick in". That says all between a torque sense vs cadence sense ebike. I own a Ride1Up LMT'd and it is a blast to ride. I commute 15 mile each way, three day a week. Good review.

[@greenwave819]

Both are great. Core5 is best

[@woodyholland9865]

First thanks for the family's service and second for your reviews and comments. Have you ridden the XP2.0 with front suspension?

[@randallunsford9435]

Sorry…no, I haven’t

[@nmjhd1234]

That add on mirror is awesome, would you mind sharing a purchase link?

[@boscojoe987]

Thank you for your comparison. Please share what type of seat is on the Lectric. I have one on order and getting my wish list together.

[@xxeh]

Good video...please tell me what handlebars and grips you have on the XP? Thank you

[@aidenpettit9054]

Hello great review but do you know how far you could get using only throttle?

[@RA-pj5bo]

Great Review!!!! Also do you think you can get good exercise with the core-5 on a low pedal assist?

[@randallunsford9435]

R A yes...you can...it is just so tempting to pump it up to a higher level.

[@RA-pj5bo]

@@randallunsford9435 Thank you for your fast response!

I have an ecotric seagull. I am wondering which seat to upgrade to. I never gave much thought to a suspension seat post. What kind of just seat is the brown one. Would the brown seat be good without the suspension post, or do you need both. I bought a gel top for my seat only used it once hated it. So now I need advice. Thanks Mark

[@randallunsford9435]

Mark In TX In my opinion, the best comfort investment is the suspension seat post. I replaced the seat and didn’t feel that much improvement...until I replaced the post.

[@kg4rpc]

Great review, I have the seat post ordered, could you share the name of the seat you have both on the core 5 and the XP? Thank you!

[@randallunsford9435]

Michael Hyde seat on he Core 5 is the Velo Oversized 11 from Amazon . He Lectric seat is by Bell and I got it from Academy on-line.

Shes a moron

I am interested in an adjustable stem to give me a more upright position on my Trek FX fitness bike. I am almost 58 years old and I want to switch to a more upright position for riding. Where did you get the adjustable stem for your Ride 1Up Core-5?

[@randallunsford9435]

I ordered it off of Amazon. They have several to choose from and it is not hard to change out.

[@Markismaximis]

I have the LMT'D, which also has a torque sensor. When you set the PAS to max, oh man, it's not subtle at all! Lol The Trek is probably just under powered compared to R1up models.

[@randallunsford9435]

LMT’D is hub drive, right? That may account for the difference.

[@Steve-yo5jn]

@@randallunsford9435 Randal, a suggestion for you. Why don't you do a test ride of the LMT'D, so you can do a comparison with your Core-5? Or more precisely Ride1Up torque sensor bike versus Ride1Up cadence sensor bike. Would be very interested in your comments. I'm thinking of getting a Ride1Up commuter bike, but leaned towards LMT'D just because it has a torque sensor.

[@BubbafromSapperton]

@@Steve-yo5jn I wouldn't waste money on anything without torque sensing... 🤔

[@MrVictsan112]

hi im from california , i have a question i just purchased mine about a 3 weeks ago i have had for a week i tightened every bolt down and i also belt the guard for the gears back out cause it did come bent in and also i fixed the breaks so its not scraping . but when im taking about anywhere from 0-12 mph it makes a loud rattling noice as if maybe the chain is slapping?

[@Ray69camaro]

I heard that the battery makes a similar noise. The solution was putting some felt pads under the front bottom and sides of the battery.

[@eyeonart6865]

Was going to buy electri xp but no Paypal!

[@hebrew26commandmentspower55]

Use your debit card

[@pddellow]

The lectric has cheaper components, hence the bike is cheaper..

[@theocope6471]

I’ve ridden a thousand miles on my XP and I love it.

[@BubbafromSapperton]

The Trek bikes are really lousy electric bikes if you want thrills, you need to try something with a Bafang Ultra mid motor, so much torque it'll flip-out from under you, believe me... 🤗

[@THINJIMI]

Miles Campbell - I just bought the Lectric and I absolutely love it! Which Juiced Bike do you have? I like the Scorpion. Or are you talking another brand? The Lectric may not be my last purchase.

[@BubbafromSapperton]

@@THINJIMI I have two lately, a 2020 Rize RX with a Bafang Ultra mid motor and a 2020 Rize Blade with a Bafang 1,000 watt hub motor...

[@THINJIMI]

Miles Campbell - i’ll keep in mind what you’ve been saying and been researching it. I know I want full suspension and what do you say about the motors is very interesting. Do you know if I got a mountain E-Bike, are they legal like a class 3? Ohio only goes to class 3. Some I look at go over 28mph. I absolutely love these bikes. I also have a Nakto Skylark I bought as my first one and bought the Lectric only a week later as the Skylark is a little lightweight, but it was my first try.

[@BubbafromSapperton]

@@THINJIMI Pretty-much all ebikes can be unlocked to go faster, mine goes scary fast with a motor that peaks at 1,600 watts. I think about 25mph is a comfortable top speed, remember the stock brakes aren't meant for super high speeds... There's so many variables, Biktrix and Wattwagons have nice, powerful full suspension bikes 🧐
