Still no brake light? I don't get it. The cost is negligible.

[@WyomingRider]

I like that they put the lights up high too!

[@GarysE-BikeAdventures]

@@WyomingRider I guess there’s mixed emotions on that. It was up high on the old one also, and I moved it lower

[@robertcarazo8839]

Hay Gray, Good to see your video again hope all is good. Yes I really like letric new e-bikes coming out. 👍 still got my first 3.0 love it. Ready to got either xpeck or xexpress I think I need a good bike shop in the Bronx area. You should get a group ride going in your area. 👍✌️

[@WyomingRider]

great job Gary!

[@theridewithlance]

Even though it was extremely hot on that ride, it was still fantastic. The new XPeak is a real winner. A few upgrade like wider handlebars with a rise for better rider position, a more comfortable seat with seatpost suspension with put the XPeak in to a whole new category of fantstic.

[@WyomingRider]

Nice looking bikes! I like the step through model!

[@GarysE-BikeAdventures]

@@WyomingRider I’m hoping they send me the step through

[@WyomingRider]

@@GarysE-BikeAdventures me too! Want to see that one in action!

[@rymac320]

Gary thanks for the review. Love the channel. Is the new color screen able to be added onto the 1.0? What about the drivetrain? Thanks.

[@GarysE-BikeAdventures]

I’m really not sure I know it can be added to the XPeak

[@ebikenation]

Great video Gary with you out in Arizona reviewing that 2.0 I love the 204 mm front rotor on that very good upgrades on that bike

[@terryrccrazy6993]

Great information, very nice bike, I am sure impressed

[@GarysE-BikeAdventures]

Thank you ❤

[@Slamb68]

Nice review Gary.

[@GarysE-BikeAdventures]

Thanks

[@Mark-qv4bn]

I recently bought two new XP Lites, but I still want one. These I really like.

[@GarysE-BikeAdventures]

@@Mark-qv4bn i’m very much hoping they send me the step thru. My original was a step over. I got to ride the new step over down there, but they did not have only about one of the step thru and other than allowing you to ride it around the yard they did not let anybody take it out on the trails

[@dr.arnoldbenitez5642]

Thank you, Gary!!

[@GarysE-BikeAdventures]

@@dr.arnoldbenitez5642 you’re welcome, sir

[@quintonhudson6490]

Great review, nice bike. I like the step through.

[@GarysE-BikeAdventures]

@@quintonhudson6490 I also like the step through. I’m getting too old to go over that bar. But I just bought a Wired Freedom bike so I have to go over that bar.

[@quintonhudson6490]

@GarysE-BikeAdventures i love. That bike can't wait to see what you do to it

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

Great video!

[@Ebiketips1]

Nice job Gary🚴‍♂️

[@davidsammataro]

Most of these reviews look done at the Lectric headquarters , where most reviewers had paid reviews

[@GarysE-BikeAdventures]

@@davidsammataro they were all done at Lectric headquarters because that’s where we were invited to to see bikes that are not even out yet and no one gets paid. We do get a free bike to review eventually, and if you watch all these different ones, I don’t think you can honestly say that you feel that these people are steering you into buying these bikes. I think they’re relatively honest reviews. I can tell you I’ve been shut off by some companies because I tell you the truth.

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

Great skills

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

Great new features!

[@MikeLofton]

Did you get to test the XPeak 2.0 Step Thru? If you did, was there any wobble? Thanks for your great review!!!

[@GarysE-BikeAdventures]

@@MikeLofton they only had one step through and no one really got to ride it. They allowed people to run it around in the yard. That was about it. It’s really beef up though. I’d be surprised if there is a wobble.

[@MikeLofton]

Thanks for the input. I have one of the step thru 2.0 on order. I would order the high step but I am 72 and I have issues with raising my leg very high. Hopefully the wobble is fixed. I do find it odd that they didn't provide a step thru for a more extensive test when ya'll were there. Thanks for the input.

[@ebikenation]

I think they made the front headlight too high personally. And no brake lights as well. Kind of wonder what is up with that?

[@GarysE-BikeAdventures]

@@ebikenation the old one had the headlight up in the same spot. I remember that now I moved it down.

[@bodurango]

Thanks Gary for letting me know that the motor on Version 2 is the same as on Version 1. For me that is bad news. I was hoping they would upgrade the motor. I went through some hardships with the 1st version of this bike. On long uphill climbs in mountainous terrain, the bike would suddenly quit on me. I tried to troubleshoot it with Lectric. We replaced the rear wheel and controller but still had the problem. Finally, Lectric concluded that the bike was operating normally . . . it's just that I was pushing the bike too hard. Apparently the motor was overheating and quitting . . . although there was never any "hot" message on the display. I like Lectric, and I like this bike. I think it is a great value and I wish Lectric success on Version 2. For most riders this bike would be fine. But if you ride long distances in challenging uphill terrain, be aware that the motor may eventually quit on you. After it cools a bit it will start again . . . but then quit again minutes later. I finally just turn around downhill when that happens, and give up on my ride. If you are a serious mountain biker I would recommend consulting Lectric to determine if Version 2 of the xPeak is a good fit for your typical terrain. (Note: I weigh 200 lbs and carry maybe 50 lbs with me.)

[@GarysE-BikeAdventures]

@@bodurango I live in New Hampshire. I have a lot of hills. I always say if I’m not going up then I’m going down one. I’m about 195 pounds. I usually carry two batteries and a lot of times three. I run in pas 3 and will knock it up to 5 on some hills I don’t really use the throttle except when I takeoff I have never had problems with this bike on hills. I may have to work harder, but it’s never shut down on me. In a short ride for me is 22 miles I’m talking version one of the XPeak

[@TheJustintyper]

I hope there's a way to retrofit the 20ah battery to the 1, that's been my main compliant on the xpeak, i hate having to carry the second frame mounted battery with me for long rides, it's awkward and doesn't fit in my bags well.

[@GarysE-BikeAdventures]

@@TheJustintyper I honestly don’t know about the battery until I get one. I did ask the question. I have not got any answer.

[@coopsmusicvision]

hopefully you get to review the step thru. if it doesn't wobble with a basket on the back, I'll probably buy it. nice looking bike and with a torque sensor which has me excited. i wish the step thru came in yellow or black

[@GarysE-BikeAdventures]

@@coopsmusicvision yeah I’m hoping to get the step through this time. Also want the big battery.

[@bodurango]

Question: Does it use the same motor as the Xpeak 1 ?

[@GarysE-BikeAdventures]

I was told it was the same

[@distler37]

Is the throttle on the left side? I thought I heard that which i hope isn't true

[@GarysE-BikeAdventures]

@@distler37 yes it is because of the trigger shifterthey have to move it to the left side it’s an awesome bike I only have 26 miles on it, but I can’t wait to get mine in. hoping they send me a step through.

[@distler37]

@GarysE-BikeAdventures thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I currently have the step thru 3.0 which I absolutely love but want this xpeak for my more adventures trips. I love the 20 amp battery too about this bike

[@Slamb68]

That is Camelback Mountain

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

I need to learn how to do that....voiceover

[@StereodreieckRC]

Hey Gary, there are a few problems with these types of bikes! The first one is that you can't straighten your legs entirely (if the rider is tall because they offering one size), which is bad, really really bad because your knees experience pressure in a way they are not designed for (and mechanically inefficient), especially since you already have a knee problem (a bike fitter for example from the company SQlab or doctor for sports medicine can tell you a thing or two about that), the second reason the legality ( or lack legality) in a lot of countries (especially in Europe) and the third reason is the saddle, you mentioned that the saddle is soft which is actually really bad because it puts pressure on the area where a lot of nerves and blood vessels run through (Perineum = the area between genitals and anus). You did not mention the real-world range (the advertised range is widely overestimated in most cases), especially for heavier riders like me (90kg with backpack), most people are not as light as a feather like you. Question: Are hub-driven Bikes are still less efficient (especially uphill) than middle motorbikes? If so, why are hub-driven motors still so popular? Cheers

[@GarysE-BikeAdventures]

@@StereodreieckRC adding different size frames, cause the price to go up. This is a budget bike but a very well equipped one. Battery range relies on a whole bunch of factors. I never try to get into it where I live. I probably have the worst battery range. If they say there’s a 70 mile range on the battery. I usually get 20 miles as far as hub drive in mid drive mid drives a better for slower low end torque Hub drives are better if you’re going to be driving faster. People in the United States love to drive fast.

[@StereodreieckRC]

@@GarysE-BikeAdventures, "Adding different-size frames will raise the price. This is a budget bike but a very well-equipped one." But it would appeal to a new consumer group the the bikecompany (generally speaking), those who are either too tall or too small. "If they say there’s a 70 mile range on the battery. I usually get 20 miles as far as hub drive in mid drive mid drives a better for slower low end torque Hub drives are better if you’re going to be driving faster. People in the United States love to drive fast." 20 miles, at what average speed? Besides that, 20 miles is barely enough for my commute, which means I have to charge every single day after work, which is not acceptable at all. The argument that hubmotors are more efficient is not true, just marketing BlaBla (which a lot of people believe without questioning), the reason hobdrives are more popular is the lower price, less engineering to accommodate the motor and consequently more sold units (for the companies) and lower maintenance for the customer. At the end of the video you said that you ended up with 26miles. How much battery was left? Are you going to review more expensive bikes? Would love to see traditional E-Bike like the Canyon Neuron ON on the Show. Cheers NIk

[@GarysE-BikeAdventures]

@ so I live in a extremely hilly area if I’m not going up the hill. I’m going down a hill so I do chew up battery I ride probably at my average is about 20 miles an hour. I can hit 37 going downhill I weigh about 195 pounds. And ride usually in pas 3 I am currently riding in Weather that is 20 to 45° which is also cutting into the battery life. Like I said there’s a lot of factors in trying to figure out how many miles you’re going to get out of a battery. I presently own 22 bikes and trikes the only mid drive, single trail full suspension mountain bike I own is a cyber bike companies like Cannondale trek. Don’t want to give away bikes and I’m certainly spending 5 to 15 Grand to review a bike. I might spend five grand on one if it was a Pinion Drive I actually do have one pinion drive bike and I love riding it I have like 240 videos out there. Many different bikes. I also do a ride every Saturday. So subscribe to my channel and check it out and by the way, thanks for watching.

[@pedrofernandez8729]

Lectric is increasing market share by innovating and improving their bikes, that other big company is barely mentioned any longer, even tho they were first and sold lots of bikes, they have not kept up their game.

[@jeromewaites5364]

I’m sure as you guys went in and talk to them. They’re going to make a lot of little changes which y’all told them the things y’all didn’t like that day the brake light being one of them and Gary replace your thing word in your videos maybe with the actual bike name 😆 this thing this thing driving me crazy

[@GarysE-BikeAdventures]

@@jeromewaites5364 hopefully it is changed. I changed it at six this morning. Richard was like Gary you gotta change your thumbnail. You put the wrong name. It was a long weekend.🤣

[@eldermorecare4299]

it's bigger to hold the bigger battery! ...duh.......

[@EricHepp]

As it got a deraler. BORING.

[@GarysE-BikeAdventures]

@@EricHepp actually there’s quite a few upgrades in this bike. They are not so boring, sorry you find it boring
