Lectric Breaks all the Rules! ONE Ebike Unveiling, Test Ride & First Impressions

[@jeffmacey6482]

I'm new to e-bikes got my first XP 3.0 really nice bike! 🙋🚲

[@MicromobilityIndustries]

Yeah that XP 3.0 is probably the best and most popular beginner bike out there right now. Great company, great starter bike! Wishing you the best on the start of your Ebike journey!

[@daxc1972]

I love the placement of the kick stand....

[@chow-chihuang4903]

I like they did the announcement at the Culdesac development, on top of their existing partnerships with them.

[@MicromobilityIndustries]

Agreed, it's such a cool community! I'd love to live there... but I don't think I can survive those Arizona summers 🥵

[@AgustinWhittaker]

Priority has Pinion on bikes that are absolutely not remotely close to $10,000 (non e-bikes, I know, but still) I love this bike, and I already have one on pre-order. Good video.

[@maryharrington8983]

The Gemini gravel bike just came out with Pinion and e-shift, also 600HTX hard tail mountain bike with e-shift. Both are under $4K, neither electric powered drive, Priority has good sales too.

[@maryharrington8983]

I have a Priority 600ADX with Pinion C1.12 (12 speeds) manual shift - it's the best! But, I'm interested in an e-bike.

[@brandenkhan15]

The off-road section is hilarious. 😂 this bike is a beast!

[@r4z0r1]

Great move by lectric to bring these premium components to an affordable price range. Great, realiable commuter bike!

[@reallifescience2069]

Two premium components to a below budget bike. The rest belong on a Wal-Mart bike.

[@V5mGpYp]

Fun and informative ! Crazy price ! It's a buyers market for PM's right now.....

[@ElectronRiderTech]

Wow Lectric is really raising the bar!

[@reallifescience2069]

haha, throwing unnecessarily expensive components on a cheap build so you get a $2k around town bike with Chaoyang tires, a poorly welded low quality rigid fork, a budget squarewave controller and cadence sensor with a 10ah battery. Why add those components if the rest of the build is going to be junk that will end up in a landfill.

I’m still deciding on which bike to get. I added accessories to the Lectric One on my Cart and it comes out to over $3600 including the 2-year warranty. It’s still a lot cheaper than the ones I rode tested and their prices don’t include accessories. I rode tested a Stromer and a Gazelle yesterday. The Stromer was a superior ride but it may be more of a performance bike than a commuter. In that case I’d get the ST5 model. I’ll be traveling long distances from 25 miles to more than 90 miles on some days using roads. I wonder if e-bikes with 26/27 inch tires are better suited for long commutes than the 20 inch ones that the Lectric One has. Does tire size even matter?

[@MicromobilityIndustries]

Great question! Tire size matters in a few ways. Is it a deal breaker? Probably not, however, if you were going to be doing some serious commuting, the larger tires might make a little more sense. The mechanical advantage of the 20" tire tends to have better torque, all other things being equal. If you're going to be doing 90 miles, you're definitely going to want to look at all the battery specs of whatever bike you're looking for. The ONE has a claimed range of 60 miles, so again, would definitely check those specs before you settle on one.

[@egmjag]

@@MicromobilityIndustries thanks for your response. I have a hard time looking for answers at bike shops. Very few employees are knowledgeable and some are quite young and inexperienced. I’m close to purchasing the One but hesitate for reasons like tire size and battery range. I’m also considering the Stromer ST5 but that’s quite a lot of money. I feel the cost justifies it if I’ll be traveling long distances frequently. An extra battery costs about $2000 but I don’t know if the battery can be replaced or if it’s sealed permanently on the bike. If the former, then I’d be able to double my range to 220. I need transportation desperately but I don’t want to regret my decision later on.

[@dukeloo]

I'd like to see a Pinion MGU bike next. Awesome bike.

[@chrispollock7507]

When is this bike going to be available?

[@TronDaPhenomenon]

Thinking strongly about placing my preorder. Just want to know your thoughts on the handlebar stability. I know this bike has no suspension, but will it still be able to handle gravel paths at higher speeds?

[@MicromobilityIndustries]

It's going to be a rough ride if you're going fast on gravel. The front fork is suspension corrected so you could upgrade it to a suspension fork - I'd definitely recommend that if you'll be riding on gravel a lot! We did a few miles of riding on gravel and rocky trails, on one of the bikes the stem rattled loose from all the vibrations.

[@TronDaPhenomenon]

@@MicromobilityIndustries that's fair enough. I'll probably just adjust speeds on non paved surfaces. Will the tires have any self sealing or defense to pinch flats?

[@davidwollmer8694]

Do you prefer the express or the Lectric one bike?

[@MicromobilityIndustries]

I prefer the XPress because it's bigger fits my 6'3" frame much better. Lots to like about both bikes, though the One has more premium components.

[@L0st-n0found]

Gates c1.12i is on 3500 bikes just not electric in USA but then all the other parts on non ebike are worth more than all parts on this by far. Still 2000 for a c1.Xi is nice for full build

[@plainolbill562]

DOES IT ALLOW FOR REVERSE STEERING STEM FOR SHORT ARMED WIFE? The only thing stopping us from buying 2 is that i need to reverse the steering stem for my 5' 3" wife with short reach. She tried the 3.0 with the stem reversed and picked up 5 inches but I don't know if the ONE also does that.

[@MicromobilityIndustries]

I'm not familiar with reverse steering stems, but check out Turtle Neck Stems made by @DavidBrandNew. They allow you to customize a lot more than the stock setup, might just fit the bill. www.davidbrandnew.com/store/p/turtle-neck-stem-fx

[@greatchinwuba1877]

Does the battery come off to charge ?

[@MicromobilityIndustries]

Yes, it's removable. Mounted behind the seatpost

[@nickmcdonald42]

50 influencers with selfie sticks and handheld mobile devices: what could possibly go wrong, LOL!? 😂

[@MicromobilityIndustries]

Indeed, there were many shenanigans that I failed to catch on camera!

[@nickmcdonald42]

Kudos for your chest harness! Fun opportunity!

[@peteowens3033]

Pretty cool. I like the idea of NO CHAIN, NO DERAILER and NO EXTERNAL GEARS because . . . I have the Lectric XPremium and those are the components on my bike I am dissatisfied with. Would love it if Lectric could offer a rear geared hub and carbon fiber belt upgrade for the XPremium to replace the derailleur drive system. That would make the XPremium perfect in my opinion. If anyone knows how I could make those changes to my XPremium please reach out. ;-)

[@MicromobilityIndustries]

Sadly probably not possible for your XPremium 😭 Since it has a rear hub motor there's no way to also use a geared rear hub. Only option would be a Pinion gearbox at the bottom bracket, but the XPremium's frame is not designed for that so no way to mount it.

[@deansmits006]

Doesnt the Priority 600 have a Pinion at $2500?

[@MicromobilityIndustries]

Yes, but the Priority 600 is just a standard bike, not electric. It also doesn't have Smart Shift (electronic shifting with configurable automatic mode), plus other differences. It is still a great deal for that price though!

[@mischiefonthetrail8961]

The new 600 has smart shift but no e-bike and it’s 3,500

[@user9b2]

What is the range?

[@MicromobilityIndustries]

Can't say for sure without doing a range test, but Lectric advertises 45 miles with the standard battery. I'd say that's reasonable if you're pedaling along, throttle-only range would be closer to 25-30 miles (just guessing of course)

[@user9b2]

@@MicromobilityIndustries thanks 👍

8:09 why is that man riding in the middle of a motorway

[@MicromobilityIndustries]

people are crazy?

[@derrekb4501]

My gut feeling it it's a no go at $2K, most casual bikers will not spent $2K on a bike. I understand it's a "good" value, but Lectric aimed a bit high this time, the bike itself lack more style, heck it only come in black not even white or blue? They really needed to create a high style bike, this is why Super73 can move their bike from $2K to $3K. I don't think it's a bad bike, but 2k is 2k it will be a niche product.

[@doncatchpole]

Can a 90 yr old handle this bike?

[@MicromobilityIndustries]

Depends on the 90 yr old 😁 If they can handle a regular bike, probably. It weighs 60-ish pounds, pretty easy to get on thanks to the step-thru frame. Has a good balance of stability and agility.

[@markifi]

i don't understand why what they tried to achieve here. the whole point of pinion is you can get down to a short climbing gear while still using large diametre tyres. for bmx wheels you can get away with using an alfine hub while still having 19 inches on the lowest while still staying within the torque limit of the hub. (minimum 1.8:1 ratio of chainring and cog for alfine e.g. 36x20, no such limit for pinion of course) using pinion for a small wheel bike, especially electric, just seems like a wasted pinion p1.6.

[@JamesGross-ru5gw]

[@HenryCalderonJr]

I actually prefer the brakes like a motorcycle since I am used to it

[@igotstoknow2]

I have a Lectric 2.0 SO, my first. Hardtail ebikes suck. No suspension for the One at $2.2k? No thanks. I'll gladly pay $3.5k for 2 motors, 2 batteries, and full suspension with older components.

[@MicromobilityIndustries]

I hear ya, once you get used to full suspension it's really hard to ride anything else!

[@usantfr]

It's still overpriced people are learning a lot about the e-bikes and the saturated market..... They've been throwing all kinds of ridiculous prices on these bikes...... People are now starting to learn that 28 Mph

[@timlynch6271]

$2000+tax and s/h, I’ll pass.
