The Lectric was a good beginner eBike, but I would go next time with a non-folding, non-fat tire, 27.5" tire eBike. I find the 20" fat tires great for traction on snow or sand, but I honestly have no use for either as I'm on asphalt or hard dirt 99.5% of the time. Nor do I fold the bike 99% of...

My money says the next version (3.0) will have the 11-34t freewheel as standard equipment. From what I have read, Lectric wanted to make this change for version 2 but the shipping and manufacturing issues in China prevented this (there wasn't time).

I put a stretchable Velcro strap tightly wrapped around the frame and over the latch just for peace of mind. It also covers the charging port plug which is another poor design. Kills 2 birds with one strap.

For those who "had to have a folding bike"...then bought a Lectric version 2 along with the optional front and rear baskets...you probably defeated the folding option (unless you intend to remove and the install again those baskets every time you want to fold the bike...i.e. you ain't gonna do it).

The KENT Torpedo from Walmart is in stock with 2 day shipping. $498. Walmart is selling some really good eBikes the last 2 years. Even Kev from Kev Central is impressed with some of them. Its sized and powered right for a child. Getting an eBike that a small child can "grow into" makes no sense...

Its time that made in USA bike entrepreneurs start getting venture capital to get ahead of this made in China BS that has finally come back to bite us in the ass.

The cost to ship containers from China is going up substantially with parts shortages projected until 2023, so everyone who anticipates new models or options...if you think you're waiting a long time now, you ain't seen anything yet. For me, the best option for my next bike...is building my own...

Just read an article that prices will be going up and bike/parts shortages and delays will be with us for about 2 MORE years. There are only 3 main component manufacturers in the world and with thousands of companies selling bikes worldwide, its a really bad scenario. In fact used bikes are...

To be honest, a 4" fat tire, 20" diameter is like wrestling with the bike compared to a 27.5 or 29" diameter 2.75" wide tire...not to mention the larger tires have much less wear and tear per mile and last a hell of a lot longer and the bikes themselves are much lighter. IMO there is no reason...

The move to 3" tires by Lectric is spot on right. In fact, IMO 4" tires only make sense if going on sand and snow is your thing and I'm willing to bet that 98% of buyers are not into that. Also, I'm also willing to bet that most Lectric owners don't fold their bikes (especially once you add...

Sounds like my neighborhood...you can't get 2 people to agree on what day it is.

Doesn't the version 2 bike have a completely different fork (that's sized to the new 3" tires/wheels?). I doubt its just a matter of buying the new 3" tires and wheels. The rear is even more complicated because you now have a motor included in the equation. If the Lectric guys were truly looking...

The real question thus becomes regarding folks who bought version 1...will they be able to "upgrade" their bikes to version 2 specs...namely the front fork and 3" wheels w/tires? You just know these upgrade posts are going to come fast and furious...which brings us to the next question...IF you...

3 months of your money in their bank account ...interest free. Nice gig if you can get away with it.

Truth is...its a piss poor design. The ORIGINAL design was much better which included an extra step of pushing a slider pin into position to lock the handle securely and TIGHT against the frame. Obviously some early buyers were bitching about a 2 step process to lock the handle...so in their...

Its a joke..they should of just made a slide-over cover instead.

There must be a thousand videos on how much of an improvement changing the freewheel makes. Why do you suppose that after 2 years and 30,000 bikes later...Lectric refuses to make this change on new models? It surely can't be cost.

I've had an electric car for years outdoors in the North East with no problems even in zero degree weather and it has 100s of cells, and they are LG cells. I doubt the battery in the XP is so bad that it just goes to hell when it gets really cold...but I could be wrong on Lectric's claim of...

There is a video out there somewhere of a guy who owns BOTH and he races his son who is on an XP..and it wasn't even close...his son on the XP left the RAD in the dust easily...the XP is lighter, smaller, and Lectric was smart to only publish their LOW end motor specs (not the peak output like...

It will be very interesting to see what happens after the warranty period is up (or voided by "messing around") for those who still think buying an "inexpensive" bike upfront saves them money long term once the cheaper grade electrical components and motors start to fail. You gotta cut costs...
