Seems the word ONE is a strange departure from the XP naming convention.

The new Lectric X-PEAK non folding, 4x26" fat tire mountain bike...is something I didn't see coming. This is a NICHE market, whereas their other offerings are more mainstream compatible with all ages. One guy who will LOVE this...Kev at KevCentral. I'm betting he was a tester for Lectric during...

Ride 1 Up just released a new folding eBike called the PORTOLA for under $1000. Its clear they have fired a shot across the bow of Lectric eBikes as it has much of the same specs as the XP 3.0, but 2 of them are what I would have loved on my XPs...a battery that can be removed without unfolding...

Considering that I just bought a new XP Lite a month ago...with my luck...it's gotta be an XP Lite 2.0. I say this because every time I buy a new Lectric eBike (I've had 3)...they come out with a new version a month later. I'm not sure what improvements they can do on the XP Lite because its...

You must be in 1 of the 5 pedal assist modes....for the throttle to engage.

Be careful and do your research. Most eBike battery fires are due to using chargers other than what the manufacturer provided.

That is why I prefer to use an adjustable bike stem (0-90 degrees) to bring the handlebars closer. It doesn't affect the folding capability, and it allows for adjustment for different riders. There is no adjusting by just rotating the stem, It is what it is... and if I recall, it's about a 6"...

Yeah I've seen that video many times...but my concern is that the initial chain tension coming from the factory is still TOO tight. The chain does make an obvious crunching sound, and according to that video,,,that is too tight. So my initial concern remains this...do I loosen the chain up, or...

I just got my new XP Lite and its my first single speed bike. Being a former XP 1.0 owner, I was used to a "loose" chain (the derailleur allowed for the proper tension on the chain no matter the situation, and was something I never had to think about. After checking the tension on the new XP...

What are you guys using for tire pressures on the XP Lite? I used to own a 4" fat tire XP 1.0 and kept pressure about 20psi for a more comfortable ride. Can the same analogy be used for the smaller XP Lite tires?

Didn't see anything on weight. If its in the 75-85# range, the portability of this for "older" folks will be very limited...but where there is a will, there is a way to get around it. I'm 70 and I sold my XP because it was a PITA to fold and lift in and out. I went with a 40# eBike and it was a...

One downside of mid drive eBikes...there is more stress (torque) on the chain than any human can induce...so replacing chains (and other drive train components) is a fact of life. These mid drive motors put out a lot of torque and chains are still being manufactured as they were before eBikes...

I think its time after 3 generations of XPs...that the folks at Lectric take the design page of the XPremium, and integrate the BATTERY into the top of the frame tube so that it can easily be popped in and out without having to unfold the bike...which also gets rid of that underneath location of...

Improvements: Integrated rear rack with Dual passenger support, Improved electronics, Upgraded motor/controller, 14 tooth rear sprocket is now an 11 tooth (YES!!!!), New hand grips, more comfortable saddle (YES!!!), Improved 180mm rotors, 20% more travel in suspension fork. For $999 (there is a...

When a battery costs 50% of the total cost of a bike...I'd sell the old bike ( I got $700 for my XP1 after posting it online less than a day)...and get a new bike with the bigger battery because putting $500 into a used (and often abused eBike) doesn't make a lot of sense because before long...

I've since moved on from my XP1... and with that I have gone from a PAS system based on SPEED...to one based on POWER, and I must say with a power based PAS system, wow what a difference. You get to set the power levels to whatever you want for each PAS level (as apposed to a speed based PAS...

Before selling my XP1, I kept it in gear #6...and never shifted it in the 2 years I owned it. Yes, when I first bought it, I thought shifting was kinda cool...but then discovered there was no need to as the motor had more than enough power to handle every situation in any PAS level. When I sold...

1) KevCentral has a great XP Lite hill test (12% grade) that he tests all his eBikes on. A video is worth a million words, so check out his YouTube channel videos. He posted it about 2 weeks ago, so its very recent. 2) One complaint about all Lectric eBikes (and I owned one) is that removing...

I saw in the last week... 2 nationally televised (I'm in NY) Lectric XP Lite TV commercials while watching CNN and MSNBC. I have never seen a nationally televised eBike commercial on any cable network to this point. Those 30 second commercials are crazy expensive. Looks like Lectric has some...

An entire world outside of the USA is doing just fine running eBikes at class 2 speeds. In fact MOST cities outside the USA (and in some larger USA cities) have dedicated bike lanes where cars are restricted. I don't feel the class 3 thing is a reason to not buy a class 2 eBike. In fact I ride...
