Putting Lectric XP Lite eBikes To The TEST! (How It Compares)

[@janesvoboda5564]

Got my Xp light last year! 66 years old and hadn’t ridden in 50 years! I need to lift it myself and I can do it!

[@WanderingWagners]

That's awesome! It's a pretty fun bike and an added bonus that is so light and agile

[@Mark-qv4bn]

I'm only a year younger. Got my first e bike at 64. I'm getting a Lite soon. 👍

Best review I have seen of this bike, you did all the real life stuff I am likely to do, very helpful in making my decision

[@WanderingWagners]

Thank you! We really appreciate that. We try to show all the things we could think of so we appreciate the feedback

[@Mark-qv4bn]

A year later... I'm getting my 2nd Lectric Lite tomorrow. I have one 4x20" Aostirmotor A20 fat tire folder, and two updated Lites. All for me, I have 70 miles in one week, on my new Lectric. They just work every time l. 100% happy.

[@WanderingWagners]

We've always been pretty happy with all the lectrics we've owned!

[@wcraig]

We have the Lectric XP 2.0s and we love them. They are a tad on the heavy side but the battery life and the weight help us as we ride Rail-Trails. Plus they have the fenders that help keep all the mud and water off of us.

[@WanderingWagners]

The 2.0s are great bikes!👍🏻

No my arms do not get tired with the lite. The other models are bigger and you can tell on the longer rides but the lite is a smaller frame and easy and fun to ride

Mike reminds me a little of my friend growing up that had a broken arm or leg every summer. Nice bikes. Look like a nice campground bike. Be safe guys.

[@DarKKlusteR]

I just got my XP Lite about 10 days ago. So far I've logged roughly 70mi with it. I'm positive I'll hit 100mi+ by the end of October no doubt. We have pretty steep bridges here in Florida, and it seems to make it up pretty well. She gets down to about I'd say 16/17mph on some of the bridges. But she makes it up them, and going down them gets her up to about 26mph. As for off-roading, I'm still getting used to it. While I eventually plan to upgrade to the XPremium to do my deliveries with. The XP Lite will be used for primarily getting around town and what not. The one thing I have noticed is that the battery bar fluctuates quite a lot on the display screen if you use the throttle only. Which does concern me sometimes, like have I reached my limit on mileage and can I make it home on just throttle? But overall I've been able to make it home and not have any issues really.

[@WanderingWagners]

That's amazing and impressive! We use ours for just cruising around campgrounds. The xpremium would be great for delivery because the battery and power. They are excellent bikes! You can make the battery lasting longer by pedalling more so yeah the battery bar will fluctuate depending on how much you pedal/ what level of pedal assist and throttle used etc

[@str8withjj]

I bought the xp lite and love it. It reminds me of my BMX days but my fat butt needs pedal assist now.😂 for the price great little ebike, simple, light, fast recharge, and fits pretty much anywhere. Great Video

[@WanderingWagners]

Thank you! We had the same thoughts about these bikes reminding us of our childhood bikes. So fun!

[@saucyone7889]

[@sanders081]

Waiting for my Lite to arrive…Question.Any idea of distance from seat to peddle when seat is raised to max? My knees hurt just watching the lack of full leg extension

[@WanderingWagners]

They have all the min/max heights listed on their website. We have no issues with these are we are 5'7" and 6'2"

[@gabesvidz]

Thanks for riding with no power. It answered my question. I’ve been watching many review’s on this bike and no one has done this. I want one of these just for the low weight and ease of storing.

[@WanderingWagners]

Great! Glad to help you with the no power test.. These lites are great with or without power and they are very easy to lift etc. They're our favorite overall Lectric bikes

[@davidrollins8474]

Love the real world trail riding of the Lite to show the limitations and surprising abilities. I recently ordered a 3.0 that arrives in a few days. But considering a Lite for RV use and road travels around the campground. I think the Lite will be a good choice to add as a 2nd bike. Not planning on so many challenging trail rides in mud etc. Even the Premium seems to have issues there IMO. Just something that's not for me at 58yr old. But getting out and exploring is something I'm looking forward to doing. I want to pedal and get exercise but many of the campgrounds I visit have inclined that make my traditonal 15 speed bike difficult given my sedentary lifestyle. Trying to lose weight and get in better shape but likely will never be capable of real non-motized biking for such trails. So for me, having battery assist with either the Lite or 3.0 seems like a good choice. Value wise, the 3.0 seems better for the extra $200-$250 (more features, more powerful motor, suspension, additional accessories) but if I just get the plain Lite (Black Friday they add the fenders I think to keep off the mud) I think it will be a great light weight bike for RV and neigborhood riding. I don't live in a neighborhood but my step daughter does. The Lite wlll be easier for me to load in the car or truck to take over there and ride with the grandkids. Even though the Lite has one gear, I think it will be good for exercice and the pedal assist mode will help with the inclines on the neighborhood's roads. Their neighborhood does have a trail in the woods, but IMO it's not something good for bikes unless you are in good shape and with a bike built for off road trails. For me, their trail is challenge enough just to walk. I'll do it with no bike and be happier enjoying nature and outdoors on two legs.

[@WanderingWagners]

The lite and 3.0 are both great bikes and they have updated the 3.0 to finally have hydraulic brakes! However if you just want to ride around with some assist and gearing isn't a necessity then the lite is great for that, especially if you need to load and unload

[@paulpeterson5214]

I like the 46 pound weight for use in and around traffic. But to be honest I try to stay as far away from traffic and busy intersections as possible.

[@WanderingWagners]

We agree on everything you've stated.

[@sudhikonsagar2541]

Very informative, if you compare lifting xp.3 vs light, how much heavy one would feel xp.3 loading in a suv.

[@WanderingWagners]

Thank you, Mike has no problem lifting either one into our Jeep. It's not so much the weight but the 3.0 are larger in general and a little more "awkward" but they are easily loaded up. Lynn could do it but it would take more effort

[@sudhikonsagar2541]

@Wandering Wagners thanks a lot for all the great info. This is very helpful. Keep up the good work.

[@CaboWabotv]

the Lite is 20 lbs lighter than the 2.0 and 3.0

[@larryrockwell3285]

I have the 2.0 I'm looking forward to the 4.0 in the future. I hope they offer the directional turn lights and break light on them I however love my 2.0 It is the perfect bike for the way I use it 20:37

Could you test the spokes with a magnet to check if they are stainless steel? Lectric says they are stainless but I have trust issues after my last folder w black spokes rusted. Thank you for the review!

[@WanderingWagners]

We can test it in a week (we aren't by the bikes currently) but, some stainless grades can rust. Also, certain grades are magnetic as well. Not sure what grade they use but we can check later for you!

[@WCoast_]

@@WanderingWagners Thank you so much! I've never run into stainless that sticks to a magnet but I have read it can be made that way. Two of my 3 bikes have stainless spokes and they are not magnetic. A magnet does stick to the 3rd bike spokes that are rusted. The rust is pretty bad. I've seen mild rusting on stainless steel, especially welds. This is much worse. I think the magnet test will confirm they are at least some grade of stainless steel.

Love this bike but seeing how much more you get in the 3.0 for just 200 bucks more, it makes this a tough sell, maybe if they drop the price to $699 it would make more since

They do run sales often but understand the thought process! It really depends on how you will use the bike and if you plan on folding it and lifting it often vs almost never so the weight difference doesn't matter. If you need to use gears and ride long distances the 3.0 is the better choice
