Hi, this or the Cannondale compact Neo ?? I’m trying to decide for short commute and grocery getter Thanks 🙏

Great question! If we compare the two the Lectric comes out on top with Black Friday, here's why: Priced at $1,099 vs the Neo at $1,900, the long range version of the lectric has the carbon belt drive (over the Cannondale chain drive), the Lectric has a larger 350W motor, 375Wh battery w/ 80 miles range over the Cannondale's 250W motor, 250Wh battery and 47 mile range. Plus the Lectric on Black Friday is tossing in a few freebies like a rear rack, fenders, bike lock, brighter headlight and a suspension seatpost. All in all, both are certainly great bikes, but the value in Lectric is hard to beat. Take a look: ebreviewdeals.com/XP-Lite-2 Cheers!-Mike

The Lectric XP Lite 2.0 is a newly upgraded version of our lightest and most affordable eBike to date, the XP Lite. Weighing in at just 49 pounds, the foldable XP Lite is ready to tackle everything from trips into town to exciting joyrides with a Lectrifying twist of the throttle. A Gates Carbon Drive Belt system provides nearly maintenance-free functionality! On top of that, enjoy hydraulic brakes, Lectric PWR programming, an LCD color display, and much more. The XP Lite 2.0 also includes an option to add a long-range battery.

I just purchased this exact ebike with the extended battery. I like the carbon belt vs a regular bike chain. It’s a good ride on the pavement, not so good off road but doable. I’m 64 and have no issues lifting it into my truck bed. I also like that it comes pre assembled. Just insert the seat, handlebars, charge the battery, pump up the tires and you’re good to go. Great review! Thank you!

Really looked at my receipt for the long-range version and had to do a double take. I got a $100 VIP discount! Maybe because I ordered a bike last year? Well, I'm sold on their bikes anyway, but that's really nice. I probably wouldn't have noticed, but I was filling out paperwork for a rebate from my local REA. So anxious to give this puppy a good ride! Thanks Lectric!

I always run honey and sometimes capital one. So I got a lock, rack, upgraded light, and fenders with the long range belt drive for $999. You’d be surprised how many coupon codes are out there.

Under 50lbs means I can take it on Amtrak. I don’t think you can charge them on Amtrak btw. Do these need to be checked (without battery)? I like the idea of train travel and having this bike as instant transportation wherever I end up without relying on Uber so much. My current e-bike needs a pickup truck to carry it around. It’s blinged out for utility and probably weighs over 100lbs. This looks like it will fit in the trunk of my Camry. I think I want one.

I wasn’t a fan of the key having to stay in but it grew on me. If you already forget your key on walking in a store then you’ll forget to turn it off the battery with a key. If anyone can turn it on at the press of a button then it’s not very secure. Unless lectric finds a way the bike knows its owner, maybe could turn on using finger print 🤷🏻‍♂️ but that can’t be very reliable

I know you are waiting for him to answer but since he hasn't yet, I will tell you that I have the XP 2.0 and am looking at this bike as well. The 2.0 is just too heavy to be loading and unloading from the car. I can do it but it is kind of a struggle. You are going to feel more of the road flaws on the Lite because of the smaller tires and no suspension but you can put a suspension seat on the Lite which should help some. The Lite also only has one gear so if you are in a very hilly area, it might not work well for you. So it depends on what you are going to use it for and how strong you are.

Not a fan of running an ebike from an app. One of my three bikes is a Super73. Gets pretty annoying to connect to the app each time you stop somewhere and power it down. Super73 resets to class 2 after power cycles. Pretty lame that it can’t retain your settings. Especially if you happen to misplace or lose your phone. Stay away from ebike phone apps.

If you’re in PS1, (or other speeds), and don’t peddle, can you “tweak” the throttle so you’re only moving about 2-4 mph, or are you restricted to the speed of the PS you selected??
@ElectricBikeReview
@ElectricBikeReview 29 күн бұрын
Hi Bob, you can modulate the throttle in PAS1, however, it will just have a limit to how fast it can go in that PAS level, so for example if the P1 speed is set to max at 10 mph, you would likely be only able to modulate throttle and speeds between about 2mph to 10mph where it would hit its limit. Then in PAS 2, it might be controllable up to about 14 mph (these are just arbitrary numbers for example). Hope that helps! -Mike

Also the 14ah is promising. Wish they would have upped the motor watts tho. At the end of the day, I'd rather have some raw stat upgrades all around than these little comfort upgrades, like a belt drive and whatever lol. However I still think this seems really promising and I imagine I'd enjoy it alot? Im also not keen on the new look of the graphics etc, Seems like a step down, like they're trying to cater to old english dudes or something. The original xp lite had a very cool and unique look to it graphic and colorway wise, and this is alot more boring or something. Best upgrade is easily the 14ah battery... but there are several clones out there that are actually good quality brands/bikes that have stronger motors and almost as good of a battery as a 14ah.

Suspension becomes really important when you start riding more off-road with bigger drops and jumps, however, its still not "needed". Its really just a piece of mind / comfort thing for folks on a commuter style ride like the XP. Certainly not a necessity. I say get what you like and go ride!

@@Allaiya. I got the old style one with a chain and a cadence sensor that is slightly slow in turning on the power. My XP lite cost me about $1000 because I got the cargo carry racks and paniers. The battery is a bit small but I can live with that. What angers me is that they sold me this bike and no sooner do I put it to use and suddenly there is a new model with all the things (except the derailer) I feel would decrease my disappointment with both the speed and range and reliability . The chain requires periodic adjustment to keep it on the freewheel. It is a bitch to be at max distance from home and to have the chain flip off the freewheel. I asked if they could provide an update kit with chain wheels replaced with belt instead of chain, possibly a few more teeth worth of increase on crank diameter. They brag about listening to their cusomers...don't count on it. They just pushed away my suggestion and me at the same time. What I need is to be able to move at 20 mph on flat ground. As it stands now the gearing (chain) does not facilitate doing 20 mph if you are using the pedals. You ghost peddal at 20 and with pedal assist. I need the additional torque from peddaling and just can't pedal that fast. I say don't let them fool you. I wish I had bought either a more powerful bike (500 watts and derailer was available from other supplier the week my bike was delivered. 350 watts is weak without a higher gear ration or a larger motor. Also the battery is only 7.8 amp hours. The new model is available with a lot more battery. I will wear this thing our but won't trust Lectric in the future.

Strongest value to this bike is its compactness. It can live in the back of your car. The 20 inch tires are perfect. Drawback is that it maxes out kind of quick and you'll outgrow it. Ideal for apartments and last mile commutes. I would like to see this model without chain/shifter/pedals - just throttle and thicker battery.

I recently received my Lectric XP Lite 2.0 JW and have been riding it for about 3 weeks. I’ve noticed a few issues, like my throttle only works when I am in peddle assist level 2 or higher, but it’s not very strong. Additionally, when I am on a mild incline for a sustained period, the motor shuts off (including the display and lights) and only returns after a few minutes. Lastly, although I have the long-range battery, I do NOT get the 80-miles that is claimed on Lectric’s website. I contacted Lectric about this issue to see if this was normal and they didn’t answer my question, but told me to check all of the connections, which I did and everything appears to be connected correctly. However, the issues persist. Full disclosure: I’m 65 years old, 5’9”, 250 lbs and only ride in the paved bike path near my home for an average of 10-miles a day. QUESTION: Is this normal for this e-bike? Does anyone else have this issue?

Have the 1.0 really wished my bike came with the hydraulic breaks standard.. 2 weeks in my breaks already needed an adjustment and idk if the build quality is great or mine was a lemon but my front wheel was already wobbling … in my experience which is 2 weeks btw look for a different company.. and customer service is straight garbage

@@cristian_wrxperez2394 Early on the bike stopped working for about 30 min. I called them and they couldn't make a diagnosis, but they sent me a new display. It hasn't been a problem since (1.75yr). Sometime after a year (past warranty), I had a problem with my front brake and they sent me a replacement. At the time they said they often will help with past warranty bikes.

to hell with this price range. I just ordered a TesGo Seeker Pro for $1299, no tax. Dual hydraulic, lockable fork. 1000 watt power. 48V 16.7aH. air adjustable rear shock. Hydraulic brakes on oversized rotors. 95 Nm torque.

It's hot necessarily about the specs with this bike though. The bike you bought weighs 82lbs and this one weighs 49lbs. The Tesgo has 4 inch wide tires and this one has 2.5 inch wide tires. The two bikes serve a much different purpose as the Letric will be much simpler, more portable, and more nimble.

I don’t buy an E Bike now, this market is flooded with junks at the moment. You can’t identify what’s a good deal and good quality bike. I rather wait few years so that the features and engineering get better. I feel like it’s a waste of money to buy something that doesn’t last or no service at the moment.
