Just watched your video today. Good to see another fellow South Dakotan enjoying Lectric e bike. We have bought four of these bikes in the past 2 years! We are 70+ years old and found it a little hazardous to get on and off the original higher middle version bikes so we bought two step-thru 4 inch fat tire Lectric e bikes. I put over 600 miles on the original bike in a year and over 900 miles on the step-thru in 2021! We live in Sioux Falls, South Dakota so usually do not ride from mid November through March because of the cold winters. We LOVE our bikes and I enjoyed your excellent video.

[@EbikeEscape]

That is great to hear! We were just visiting Hot Springs but had a great time. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@flynlow4ever]

Lots of useful information in your review, very nice! I find the cargo package useful and worth the price. Mine came welded and finished flawlessly. They’re a lot more rugged and sturdier than I thought they’d be. I can understand why they’re priced as they are after installing them. The smaller front basket fits my day cooler perfectly. I also added the Lectric Panniers under the rear cargo rack for carrying smaller items and tools. It too seems reasonably priced and very useful. Mine came with the suspension seat package and I have nothing negative to say about it. You can’t expect a whole lot from a $100 package, but I’m surely not disappointed with it. The Lectric lock didn’t quite suit my sense of security either, so I swapped it out with the Bordo Granite X that I had on my pedal bike. Again, you can’t expect much for its cost and it might be suitable for others. I feel Lectric hits the mark as far as value and quality with their products that’s suitable for many.

[@gp1744]

I ordered the cargo package when it first came out. It was delayed due to quality issues. When I did receive it the welds were terrible and the headlight tab was welded on 2 sides but with no weld penetration and it fell off in my hand. After many photos and emails, Lectric sent a second cargo package to me. Unfortunately the welding was not significantly better. To prevent heel strike I have to put the rear rack "sideways" and as far back as possible. The mounting holes are offset so this can be done but it makes the bike to wide to fold. In hindsight I would look for something different. Also the free panniers they sent do not fit properly over the rear rack. It is to narrow.

Another great video with your usual presentation format which I enjoy watching - 1 suggestion about accessories; need to see the improved tail-lighting vs the EBike version. It's important to be seen from behind especially considering you' re moving with the traffic and last thing I need to worry about is an upcoming vehicle not being able to see me ahead before it actually comes alongside and passes me.

[@EbikeEscape]

I agree Dick - we do ride with rear lights often. The more lights the better!

[@tomc.4860]

Thank you so much for doing these videos. I have seen a couple on the electric 2.0 and was convinced it was for me but when I prepared to purchase it I noticed the 3.0 was on sale for Black Friday with a $277 accessory package included for free. I could not resist and purchased it. I haven't received it as yet because I live in Florida and hurricane Nicole has slowed things but I am looking forward to it and again thank you so much for your excellent video.

[@lahawk7410]

Tom, How do you like your 3.0? I'm getting ready to order one for myself. I was considering the premium step through, but at 5' I'm an inch shy of their recommended user height. I liked that the premium is hydraulic brakes. Anyway, if you see this I'd like to hear about your experience this far.

It's true, the Lectric XP 2.0 is a pain to carry when it's folded. I bought this ebike to do some occasional multimodal bus trips, and my first time is probably going to be my last time unless I go on a special, longer trip. You have to bear hug this ebike with 2 hands when picking it up.

Great Video Ebike Escape! Question: I have ordered the Rholf handlebars, but the right side (throttle side) seems to no tighten at all as it is sticking 1 inch off/out the core handle bar. Did you have to scoot in your throttle and gear changer in order to properly install and tighten the handlebars?

[@EbikeEscape]

We didn’t. However if the clamp on the new grips isn’t over the actual handlebars bar, you will have to scoot those parts in a bit. If not they will not “lock-on.”

[@svang55]

[@lahawk7410]

Wyatt, did you purchase a 3.0 premium? I am placing an order tonight and unsure if I want the 3.0 long range or premium. I like the idea of the hydraulic brakes and beefier tires, but the seat height is a bit higher and recommended rider height is 5'2" and I'm 5. With carpal tunnel the seat to handlebars is an issue, but I can look into an upgraded handlebar that sweeps forward. Interested in your experience.

I mounted mirror I bought on handle bar upside down, yes I have to look down but it works for me. I also have mounted trailer to bike to take babies (pups) for ride.

[@sandrabeaver706]

@@lahawk7410 Yes you can pedal without the assist or throttle. I actually like starting off on 1st level of assist. I don't wobble as much. I have issues with balancing. I do not recommend pedaling when you go around a corner, the assist will kick in and its too fast for cornering. You will get the sting from working out on this bike, just use a low level of assist. Hope there's a helmet law there, always wear one please. Gloves too, for if you fall your hands are the first to hit the ground. It is fun and a great mode of transportation. I also got insurance on it from Velo- parent company is Markel.

[@ishouldbesleeping1354]

Can you explain WHAT the small add on piece for suspension does? Does it make your seat higher, or lower, or convert into being useable suspension as opposed to not working?

[@EbikeEscape]

Are you referring to the shim for the suspension seat post? That helps adapt the potentially different sized suspension seat post to the Lectric’s seat tube diameter. If you purchase the Lectric suspension seat post, you will not need one. However if you get a SR Suntour or Kinekt, you mind need one.

Depends on what kind of terrain you will be riding on and comfort you're looking for. On the tire, there will be a max PSI rating. It might be 30 PSI on these, but don't quote me on that. For more comfort, you might want to go down to 10-15 but for more range, you could put in more air.

The baskets will be fine, the racks are what you need to consider. They are what have a weight limit, not the baskets. The rear rack on the XP 2.0 has a weight limit of 75lbs, while the front rack has a weight limit of 30lbs. So really your pup is right on the line for the front rack, but completely clear for the rear. Another option for you also is the new pet trailer Lectric has released.

There are videos on You Tube showing some owners using a Craftsman (50 gal) tote that they cut out the lid and use for their lectric bikes.

[@ex0stasis72]

I regret buying the baskets, but the front rack is a must for me. The baskets just limited the volume of what I could carry, we're way heavier than they needed to be, and required that I still use another container within the basket to prevent small things from falling through the cracks. A wire mesh basket that is easily removable without tools would have made more sense. I just use varying sized bungee nets to secure my cargo. I also regret buying the Lectric side view mirrors. I couldn't see anything useful out of them. It was either my shoulders or too far to the side. So I bought a 3rd party bike mirror that mounts in the end of the handlebar, and I took a knife and carved out a hole for the handlebar grips to make it work. It's also a much larger mirror than the Lectric mirrors. The Lectric XP 2.0 is great, just not most of their accessories.

[@lahawk7410]

I don't know whether to order the baskets. I was considering other brands because I preferred their baskets. I agree the finer mesh would be a nicer option for those not needed to lug something super heavy around.

Correct. This is the XP 2.0 Step-Thru, which we also find a bit more aesthetically appealing. We really like the accessibility of step-through models. -JT

How do you turn on the factory headlight/tail light that comes standard on the Lectric xp 2.0

Hold the + button down for cpl seconds both head/tailight will come on do the same to shut off

you mentioned links in your blog post many times. However, I see no link to your blog, nevermind the specific blog post. Can you put that info in your description, that way I can use your link?

Hi Kathleen, thanks for watching. It's the first link in the description box.

Ok, I ordered the grips. It looks like I have to move my brake lever, shifter, throttle as the new grips are longer than the stock grips. Am I right?

[@EbikeEscape]

As long as you ordered the Rolhoff versions, you might have to move them slightly. Enjoy!

Do you think the baskets Radpower would fix in Lectric bike?

[@EbikeEscape]

I doubt it

[@captainblacktoe1328]

Does anyone else not like the placement of the front headlight on the front rack? I prefer it on the wheel so it points where the wheel is aimed. I have modified the bracket to try and keep it on the fender mount, I have to use the original light that came with the bike to make it work.

[@EbikeEscape]

It is super nice when having the light turn with the handlebars. Another option we have seen is mounting the light a bit higher up on your handlebar stem. -JT

Why are people saying its XP 2.0 is $1200 its on sale on your link for $999 but I cant find spare batteries

[@angelwings197]

The bike is solid and my Ebike conversion went great. kzbin.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Very smooth ride at 30mph with no problems (135 miles ridden so far). The picture is a bit deceiving - there is WAY less space in the center of the frame than it shows. The suspension connection takes up the entire thing. So I needed to attach my battery on the bottom of the frame and my controller on the top. Instructions for assembly were lacking but honestly it wasn't too hard to figure out even though I have very little bike knowledge. Watched some youtube videos on adjusting the disk brakes but that was it. Still, I am loving it and very happy with the purchase.

How would the bike fold up if you left the back basket on and took the front basket off

[@memomerlin5399]

It wouldn’t close properly. The back basket doesn’t allow it

Looks like Memo was able to help you out.

[@tonyaroberts692]

My biggest concern is rust. I live near the ocean and the fenders, etc. on this bike are known for rust. Accessories being metal.

[@EbikeEscape]

I personally haven't seen reports of rust specific to the Lectric XP but living near the ocean definitely adds some maintenance. We typically spend time in Florida every year and just make sure to clean our bikes frequently. Also a good idea to inspect the bike frequently to catch rust before it gets too bad.

[@1PotatoeMasher1]

Make sure it has good paint, lube the chain regularly, keep certain points greased and give it a good rinse/wipe down every now and then on a sunny day then let it dry out in the sun for a short time. If the paint gets a big Knick in it or road grime builds up in crevices rust can form. Maintenance will keep it from ever getting bad if it forms at all, some bikes may need more frequent maintenance. Consult your local bike shop for specific concerns and questions about your bike.

[@bentrider]

What not to buy.

[@tinab6032]

Too bad the baskets aren't available till December.

[@EbikeEscape]

Bummer! I had to wait a while for mine as well.

[@BN99239]

People should not get the front and rear racks if they plan on folding their bikes and transporting often. A lot of the times, the bike will not fold all the way with the front and rear racks. It's better to just get a pannier or some sort of bags instead.

[@EbikeEscape]

I folded it with the front and rear baskets attached so people can get an idea of what to expect.

[@ceceliapickering7447]

No you took off back rack and folded.

Is the LECTRIC XP 2.0 extended warranty worth buying?

[@EbikeEscape]

I didn't realize they even offered this so thanks for bringing it up. I'm usually someone who opts out of extended warranties but I am probably a bit unique in that respect. In my experience, if you're going to have issues it is going to happen right away or after a short period of riding. And if something does go wrong you can always buy replacement parts. Just my opinion though!
