Lectric XPress First Ride & Impressions: Their Best Commuter Ebike Yet!

[@dinospumoni8860]

Except it doesn’t come with the fenders and rack. That’s a 99 dollar upgrade.

[@freshlycharged]

That’s a good catch. They have never charged for it in the past and didn’t let us know when they brought to bike to us for testing and review.

[@yoestrella]

The 750 model comes with free rear rack and fenders, the 500W does not. Both items are currently not in stock might I add!

[@KARMA-vu8ii]

@@yoestrella You have to check the site often, as of the time of this comment, it does not come with fenders or a rack, but 3 different accessories. but it changes often, I ordered mine early and got the free battery, but had to pay extra for the fenders and rack.

[@TravelingThruLife]

@@yoestrellaactually currently it comes with seat/post and the go package

[@yoestrella]

I called them to see if I could get a bigger battery on the 500 W model. In Canada can only use 500 W model. They said no. Seems a shame both logically and environmentally to purchase the bike with battery size too small for my purposes.

[@malibukenny]

"weighing 200 to 220 depending on the season" Honestly, same😅 Anyway, straight and honest review. Thanks guys.

[@greenwave819]

me too lmao!

[@Andrew-vt4jt]

My pleasure! We love what we do but we will always have the consumer in mind first.

[@user72974]

I feel seen.

[@Elisplushies360woodierc]

Nice bike.I actually prefer plastic fenders.Take less rattle and better for taking abuse.

[@greenwave819]

and you can color on them!!

[@mrawesome1821]

Can you do top 5 e-bikes you recommend?

[@greenwave819]

I don't think the light is all that bad. only that mine came mounted off centered and after attempted to take it off and adjust it, it was just bent so I rebent it... Altus or better would for sure be a nice upgrade. The 999 is ofc the 500w and even the 750 doesn't come with fenders and rack... the package claims the rack can only hold 30 pounds??? I'll wait and see if they don't add a better deal later like they just did with the Xpeak

[@Andrew-vt4jt]

The rack we had said 25 kgs and had fenders, so they might have a different one on the final production unit. They should have let me know the fenders were not included.

[@current3109]

I can’t even find the light switch it’s so vague 😂

[@tenncutt]

We have a couple XPremiums which are mid drive with torque sensors and 80 mm suspension. Not sure why they discontinued them. I was wondering if the would come out with another torque sensor bike. The XPremiums also have a throttle. They have been great bikes. Our XPremiums flash the taillight when you apply brakes but the lighting front and rear is SO weak on ALL Lectrics! I also have a Fucare that has wonderful bright lights with a bright brake light that works regardless if the lights are on. The XPremiums also have dual 10ah batteries and will go further than you want to go!

[@dougms9790]

Agree with all your Cons. Add no chain or derailleur guards, a couple $8 parts. Must haves for me.

[@BoozySZN]

Banger review!

[@wkw4095]

Having owned dirt bikes which always have plastic fenders. I really don't see plastic fenders as a deal breaker. Actually, for an ebike with the buzzing hub motor I feel there's a harmonic sound with metal fenders....and the stones and crap making it sound like a wind chime ;)

[@FubarMike]

I hope these release before ragbrai this year. This bike with a nicer seat and a free extra battery would be awesome for this event.

[@emilyblossom2769]

Does this bike have an IP rating? If so, what is it?

[@toddthompson3746]

What’s the name of your full face helmet? Nice sun vision and maybe good for MNT biking?

[@TravelingThruLife]

it's too $$

[@femacampetiquettefordummie6979]

I want to purchase this bike, but I'm waiting for a version of the Lectric XPress that gives me an option of choosing upgrades. Give us an option for an upgraded version of the XPress, Letric. We want the upgraded parts: derailleur, fenders, suspension, etc., but we would like to have them direct from the factory, and avoid the higher cost of paying a bike shop to swap out the parts.

[@SeriouSXXFireworks]

Which bike do you guys prefer? Xpress or Xpeak and why?

[@mark7362]

Xpress just bc some guy on youtube said the xpeak has some kind of frame issue. Plus the fat tires are bulky and unnecessary in my opinion.

[@timallison8560]

great review!

[@IIISentorIII]

You can get them from the 3rd planet in the Terran system. You can use a technology called Google Lens.

[@iblackfeathers]

rear rack has a 30lb weight capacity according to their site, not 60lb.

[@greenwave819]

the rack they had here is 60lbs. the rack currently sold is 30lbs.. I also took a look at that. and I own the Xpeak with the 60lb rack and can say that it is very nice and for sure holds 60 easy

[@iblackfeathers]

⁠@@greenwave819thanks for clarifying. site wasn't clear there are different versions and why that might be. i would think most would not pick the 30lb capacity one if they knew there was a different option.

[@sherpaderpdingo3405]

Im looking for a commuter bike to save money with the price of gas and insurance. Get rid of one of our cars and use this for commuting to work. Im completely new to ebikes. Any recomendations? I care mostly about battery longevity and it doesnt need to be top power but a decent amount. I live in a city of 200k people so its not like a big city with grid lock but roads are busy enough. We have designated bike lanes on all main roads. Edited for context. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[@brittonkelsey1840]

I just bought an aveton you should check them out

[@brittonkelsey1840]

but there are a lot to choose from just do some research and find which one is right for you

[@davidshah4282]

[@eldnah2]

Just got my XPress 750ST and I'm confused about those unexplained multiplier settings (P11: Multiplier Toggle Setting). I want to know what they are, what they do and how I can get them to work...or if I can. Someone needs to do a video if they are able to be fine-tuned.

[@turbofan450]

Kind of off topic, but did anyone ask the guys at Lectric why the XPremium was discontinued? To those who may THINK they know, I'm not interested in your opinion. I want to know the truth from Lectric itself

[@tenncutt]

They shouldn't have! We love ours!

[@joshuavargas1454]

How would you compare this with the Aventon level 2 ?

[@freshlycharged]

They are going to ride fairly similar. Aventon’s user interface with the display and app is better, but it’s going to be at a decent cost difference. Lectric’s customer service will be better.

[@davidhusik5560]

I wish they would offer this in the brown color that was shown in the pre production Hi Step model in both versions. This company only offers black and white colors except on their cheapest model, I don't understand this decision by Levi @ Lectric if you're listening, please consider this.

[@bobkrueger194]

Hey...great review. Any idea how this compares with Ride 1 Up Lmtd V2? I'm considering either bike

[@davidwollmer8694]

I wonder if I could put a color display on my XP 3.0

[@kle0515]

Could I swap out the front wheel bolt with a quick release one? Thx for bike review video.

[@SchoolforHackers]

No. Thru axles have different mounts.

[@djmeds1159]

i’m hoping that i can switch the thumb throttle to a half twist

[@freshlycharged]

A twist throttle would be a nice option.

[@magdalena-wy8hz]

What is better choise this one or Ride1up LMT’D V2 ????

Next bike they need to come out with and soon is a 40mph bike to compete with the Wired Freedom. Because I'm about to pull the trigger on a Wired but would rather have a Lectric now that there making bikes that look good.

[@doctadrey3000]

Get the ecells five star over the wired freedom

[@greenwave819]

Lectric plays by the book, doubt we will ever see them make anything not class 3 legal. I'm also very interested in the Wired Freedom 4.0... just have to decide between blue or black!!

[@elliottedwards7778]

is this a real thing?? can you even pedal a moped?

Same. I told them that when they came out with the xpedition. 2 bikes later, still nothing 💔

[@ally92992]

At this time the Xpeak is a better deal with free upgrades.

[@freshlycharged]

We do prefer the Xpeak.

[@CH-xn9rb]

@@freshlycharged why do you prefer the xpeak? I ask because I pre-ordered the xpress. I chose it over the xpeak because it is lighter, and has a torque sensor. I also don't get the appeal of fat tires.

[@jeffa964]

I need to get one of these

[@chow-chihuang4903]

Good value models, though they don’t include fenders or racks, and the tires are 27.5x2.1in. Which lab certified Lectric’s e-bikes? I’ve not found any of them in databases of certified products at UL, SGS or TUV. I’ve searched by “Lectric” for manufacturer or trade name, and various capitalizations of “XPeak”, “ONE” or “XPress” and not found any mention of them in those three lab’s databases. I keep hearing they’re UL certified to UL 2849, but have yet to be able to confirm it.

[@AlvinBustamante]

Can the pedals be swapped with normal pedals (non-quick release)?

[@freshlycharged]

You would need to change the crankset.

[@jayroc5807]

[@freshlycharged]

28 mph in pedal assist, 20 mph with throttle.

[@MarionGeorge-z1z]

Harber Mountains

[@aceball7076]

Wish it was 8 or 9 speed.

[@freshlycharged]

Would be nice!

[@JaksIRL]

Looks like a great bike, but why would you make a commuter bike in 2024 and not have a working brake light? The whole point of a commuter is you're going to be sharing space with traffic and other cyclists on bike paths. Commuters need that the most, IMO. Come on Lectric, it's one wire.

[@Calleseprro]

Just like cars, cant have everything in one car for future ideas

[@greenwave819]

I think the idea is to save battery. the brake light works when the lights are on. saves battery when they are off. Idk... I've never had any issues from this

[@doctadrey3000]

You really think a brake light is gonna make all the difference between them seeing you and not?

[@jimjr9143]

Most definitely needed . Not just for the cars around you . Helps as well for anyone in other bikes riding right behind . And yes as this is 2024 we should be advanced enough to have brake lights on all e-bikes .

[@JaksIRL]

@@doctadrey3000 Yes 100% there is a reason that they are mandatory on all motor vehicles and it is because they are super effective at making people behind you aware of what you're doing. There's no excuse not to have a brake light.

[@iMotoTactic00L]

Yes 2024 and still under power! Mostly ebike now are 2000 watts motor with 60 volts battery. 😅

Yea but this ones affordable and reliable, compared to like $3k-$4k for an ebike 😓

[@HullioGQ]

Having customer service in the Philippines does not mean there is a language barrier. maybe a cultural barrier but certainly not a language barrier. Over 60% of all customer service for American B2C firms is based out of the Philippines and that's been true since the early nineties when India based support was becoming a nuisance due to hard accents.

[@greenwave819]

it is 100% a real thing. I find I get much easier support from India actually. 90% or the time it is 80% better and 75% of the time there is no "accent" and let's toss in some extra % just to be 80% more scientific.

[@HullioGQ]

@@greenwave819 I think you may have your facts wrong. Otherwise, tell me of any Fortune 500 company that still uses Indian based customer service (outside of the tech-oriented companies)?

All these companies are killing themselves in the long run with these torque sensors. Defeats the purpose of an electric bike, when your battery dies you have a torque sensor that automatically kicks in.

[@lita4458]

Can you explain more for me? When I did test rides I did part of the rides on no battery. All the bikes were torque sensors. And some were fine without the battery. Better than my other e-bike which is a casdence.
