Nice job, man! I have lots of questions for my first purchase of an E bike, but I am really into the research just confused a bit about certain things

[@myfuzzys]

I just ordered during Black Friday. Our first ebike. Belt drive and Pinion gearbox really sold it. Especially for my wife, simpler the better.

[@tomsgadgetgarage]

Congrats! I think you made a good choice. I bought mine as soon as they released it and it’s by far the best e-bike I’ve ever ridden. Enjoy!

[@Bwilliams2]

This and your previous Lectric ONE review are spot on! Well done.

[@tomsgadgetgarage]

Thank you 😊

[@simchad613]

Thanks for this update. I bought this bike and I can vouch for its smoothness and great handling.

[@tomsgadgetgarage]

Great to see other riders having positive experiences with the ONE. I’m really enjoying this bike. Took it for a quick trip to the UPS Store today :).

[@lizvickers7156]

Great review of this bike. A lectric bike was my first choice when I wanted an ebike but being in the uk they don't deliver to the uk because now I would have chosen this one. Lovely and quiet and a good all round bike. Great review.

Same happened to me but I am from another country

Nice job, man! I have lots of questions for my first purchase of an E bike, but I am really into the research just confused a bit about certain things! That said, maybe I’m just a slow learner, but I am an avid cyclist I bicycle on a trek FX for self-propelled of course, daily!

Heybike Cityrun: $1000 ; Lectric Xpress 750: $1300; Aventon Level 2: $1600 today; Radster Road: $2200 and Aventon's new Abound SR: $2200. My preference and my on-hand ca$h are at odds...

[@mxp2000]

Aloha Tom, I've seen the option for a second battery and was wondering if it's installed somewhere on the bike or if it's a switch out. Thanks, and great videos!

[@tomsgadgetgarage]

Hello! So for the ONE it’s going to be a switch out. It should fit in a saddlebag on the rear rack no problem.

[@mxp2000]

Thanks for the speedy response! I'm looking at picking the ONE this Christmas with extra the battery.

[@ctbale1]

Killin me, sweet ebike and a cx9. Just sold my 2022 cx9 and got a honda truck. I loved how that car drove, miss it badly

[@tomsgadgetgarage]

Mazda really does make some nice cars. Their new CX-90 looks pretty sweet inside. That Honda truck will probably last forever though. My parents bought a 2006 Ridgeline brand new and still drive it today with over 400k miles.

[@yone2002]

Thanks for the climb testing video. Please let us know how much the motor resistance is when the power is off. Thanks.

[@ttbmg]

Great review on a nice product!

[@tomsgadgetgarage]

Thank you 😊

[@kbarnes0]

Great review! I'm thinking the only things this bike needs is a full suspension, (alot of arm pump on the downhill), and some kind of regenerative braking.

[@terryrccrazy6993]

Great video, very nice bike, I think the transmission system is cool, great job

[@tomsgadgetgarage]

Thanks again! Really appreciate it 😊

While i like Lectric company . I even own a Lectric 3.0 im holding off on any more from Lectric until they finally upgrade the battery pack . That’s all that’s left . I don’t care how fancy a bike shifts gears if the battery pack is really small . That trip you just made would have been impossible if the whole time in pedal assist 5 . For me at weighing a bit more i would not have even made it half way . The battery pack is major cheap with 18650 Chinese cells (but they do work well). Upgrade to 21700 cells . Samsung 50e cells and I’m back on board . If you look at the e-bike market right now at the $1500-$2300 price range 48v10ah is the smallest of any and all e-bikes in the $2000 range . While a little heavier but very portable unless things change with Lectric battery packs , im looking at the Juiced bikes Jet current pro for $2300 . Cadence and torque sensor . A lot more power and much larger battery capacity . All in all Lectric is a great company and top notch service . I have experienced Lectric service with a friend of mine and my own Lectric ebike personally and the service was A+

[@puppylove4506]

I have an Lectric one. You are spot on about the battery. It has been the biggest disappointment. I am hoping to find a way to get a better battery. I got the long range battery that was advertised to travel 60 miles and I only got 28 the first time and 20 miles the second time. Obviously that isn’t close to 60 miles.

[@davidwollmer8694]

@@puppylove4506it was advertised for pas 1 for 60 miles

[@mikecleveland7453]

@@puppylove4506 Why not get a second battery? The Lectric One and the Juiced bike Jet Pro are hardly comparable once you ride with Pinion and Gates belts.

[@njayadev]

Thanks for this awesome review. How hard is it to ride this at PAS 1? I'm wondering if I can get some workout on relatively flat roads with this.

[@tomsgadgetgarage]

Thank you! PAS 1 & 2 are really nice. My preference is PAS 2 as I can cruise around 15mph and get a workout in while in the right gear. You can do the same at PAS 1 but you’ll be limited to a slower speed.

[@VinnyAndSweetPea]

Great video. Thanks! If you ride downhill in PAS 0, which would be no paddle assist, are you still limited to 20 or 28 MPH ?

[@tomsgadgetgarage]

Thank you! Downhill there are no limits. You can go as fast as gravity will take you :).

[@gkmackey]

Great video. Gila is pronounced Hila.

[@tomsgadgetgarage]

Thanks! Great to know for future trips up there.

[@StacyODell]

Now I want to throw mine on the back of the truck and make a trip down there from the NW side

[@tomsgadgetgarage]

Haha yah I make the 40 minute ride each way from Gilbert and it’s still worth it for me. Always a blast riding up there. Sundays from 5am - 10am you won’t have to worry about cars as the road is closed to automobiles.

[@lkj974]

Gila is pronounced Heela

[@tomsgadgetgarage]

Someone else mentioned that as well. I will definitely pronounce it correctly moving forward 😊.

[@DavidKuhn-l8j]

Lectric mostly makes folding bikes to get to the mountain. Too bad you didn't show how this model fit in on the trip - to & fro.

[@tomsgadgetgarage]

Hello! Ugh, I actually took video and pictures of how it fits in my car but forgot to include it in the video. I’ll post the pic in a community post and cover it in detail in the full review.

[@DavidKuhn-l8j]

​@@tomsgadgetgarage Great, the size and weight are important just like the performance and reliability. Thanks for taking the time to share your assessment with an unsponsored viewpoint

[@DavidKuhn-l8j]

​@@tomsgadgetgarage P.S. Don't forget to tie down the load. Second dump onto concrete not allowed

[@tomsgadgetgarage]

Haha that’s right!

[@lkj974]

This isn't a folding bike, although you can fold the handlebars and remove the pedals without a tool

[@stevesecret2515]

It's a motorbike.

[@tomsgadgetgarage]

Haha basically!

[@kzarz0219]

What time and what time of year did you make that ride? I didn't see any cars at all.

[@tomsgadgetgarage]

I made that ride a couple months ago. If you go on Sunday mornings, they actually close the road to car traffic from 5am-10am. Also, 4th Sunday of each month they close the road to car traffic all day.
