[@polok890]

Great job lectric, really exciting ebike at a great price

[@mellowmiles-r5o]

Hope they come to the UK soon

Hey!! Amazing video, now I'm planning to buy model xp 3.0 for uber delivery! Is this bike a good choice for that? Even what about snow? Is this ideal for winter as well?

[@logankennelly]

No. It's much smaller. While it has the mounts for the front rack and the same large accessories should fit on back, I bump my heels against the panniers on the ONE if I'm not careful and it's much easier to load up with something touching my back. That'd be really annoying if I had a gig hauling stuff. On the other hand, I bought the ONE because it's easier to swap the battery out, which is a huge advantage. Sadly, with the rear rack installed, you have to remove / twist the seat to get the battery out. In theory, the belt should require less maintenance to prevent rusting in the snow, but I don't have the mileage to comment yet. The stock tires are not intended for snow, but they can be swapped out. If it were me, I'd be looking at the dual battery XPedition for range and capacity, but I haven't been on one.

Ditto the need to see how it’ll fit in vehicles with tire off and folded handlebar. Maybe you could give us the real numbers. I’m pretty sure the numbers at the Lectric web site for the folded ONE are wrong. I Called but customer service didn’t seem interested in checking, but agreed the numbers looked wrong. If two will fit in a model Y I’d get them. If they won’t I’ll go with two of the Lite JWBlacks. The only thing I need are folded hight of seat when sitting on front forks , height at folded handle bars post, length from rear tire to front fender. If asked on group Facebook sites and seems no one knows or answers. Since Lectric didn’t fold this bike but claim it’s easy to transport, you would think there’d provide a list of all the vehicles they know this would fit in. Thanks.

Sounds like you're making the most of what the ONE has to offer! Glad to hear you're loving your bikes!

[@tompearson8364]

Any idea why the ONE was slower on the hill test than the Xpress, which has the same motor? Perhaps the Xpress motor is gear differently which made it louder?

[@LanceAvion]

Tire size? The Lectric One has substantially smaller tires and so travels a shorter distance per rotation.

[@tompearson8364]

@ Perhaps. However, the ONE is capable of going over 20MPH so I don,think it was maxed out on speed. If anything, I would have thought the smaller diameter tire would give it more torque and perform better on the hill climb. I am kind of at a loss as I was waiting on this review to decide between the XPress and ONE and hill climbing is a big consideration for me.

[@drakebunch9807]

But what is the longevity of lectric bikes? I can't seem to get a solid answer.

[@logankennelly]

I don't think there is a straightforward answer. I'm coming up on 4500 miles on mine with routine maintenance (brakes, chain, tires). It's pretty easy to find people hitting 10K miles on their Lectric. Of course, you can also find a handful of stories of controllers failing after a few thousand miles. (With Lectric shipping a free replacement in every case I've seen.) But I suspect the real reason you have trouble finding a solid answer is that most people are choosing to upgrade before the bike fails.

They apparently saw your comment: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWWmlGqHp76HrM0

[@drakebunch9807]

@@logankennelly I know. Made my day!

[@Mr0Tubby]

Please compare this to something like the tern hsd. Best under $10k when they still have a cadence sensor is nonsense.

[@ElectricBikeReport]

We would have preferred a torque sensor as well, but honestly, this is about as good as a cadence sensor can get. With the bike set to use PWR programming in all assist levels, it's pretty natural overall.

ADD KINKT SUSPENSION POST AND SEAT WHATEVER YOUR FANNY WANTS

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Right?

[@garyclark6747]

@@ElectricBikeReportJohn, I was waiting to hear if there was ghost peddling but couldn’t wait to express my excitement for the review(“Finally”). Do you believe a nine speed could be in the future on this size bike or is a six speed really well suited for these size tires? I’ll be watching this review a few more times over as you did a fantastic job and this is on my dream sheet. I’d like to see seat down handlebars folded and front wheel removed, stowed in an IONIQ 5… to see if two would it fit.😬 #bravoreview 30:40

[@floridamankyle5461]

Lectric undercut itself when they put the belt drive onto the XP Lite 2.0, why buy this when you could save $1100 and buy the XP Lite 2.0 instead? The One doesn't fold in half, it weights 30+ pounds heavier than the Lite 2.0 and you have to change the oil in the gearbox. Maybe it's just me, but I don't understand this bike.

[@bush4721]

The main selling point of ONE is Pinion system, not belt drive.

[@jezzarisky]

Bigger motor, more weight capacity, higher top speed are probably it's big selling points over the XP Lite 2.0, but the weight different doesn't seem like it's 30 pounds more like 12lbs before considering adding things like a rack or larger battery to the XP Lite 2.0.
