    New XP Lite....oh yeah...!!!!

    They did it....!!!!...you answered my prayers for a carbon belt drive option, a larger battery option, color display, BMX style handle bars, more torquey motor, and hydraulic brakes.... all for under $1000 with more color options. This will be their best seller IMO.

    New Lectric Xpress

    Lectric is at a disadvantage with the introduction of a model they have never had before (and long wait times). The competition already has inventory of this type of eBike, so Lectric is banking on "Lectric loyalists" to not only give them a bunch of money upfront...but be willing to wait a long...

    XP Lite Owners - Wish you had more power?

    Yeah, its one thing to have some extra punch...but at some point, it can be a liability in the event you are not ready for it, or are in a situation where it causes you to lose control. Its good however to know that little 300watt motor can be tweaked. I would be surprised if the GOTRAX has the...

    XP Lite Owners - Wish you had more power?

    Excellent point on changing the default P11 and P12 settings on the XP Lite. Those 2 changes will really make a difference in acceleration for those who want more of a "kick".

    XP Lite Owners - Wish you had more power?

    I have no inside information...just a feeling they are going to have a new XP Lite 2.0. The XP Lite is their best selling eBike, so it makes no sense to "run out of them" if for no other reason that they aren't making version 1 anymore. Also when I was watching the video of Levy talking about...

    My XP Lite theory

    I have noticed that 3 (of the 4) colors of the Lectric XP Lite models...are SOLD OUT and that there is no indication that they are going to be replenished (no future shipping dates). So I have a theory that a new XP Lite 2.0 may be in the works. I say this because the XP Lite is their best...

    BMX bars for XP 3.0 without Davidbrandnew....

    If you sell the XP...the Ride1Up PORTOLA would be a perfect replacement. It is a folding eBike with everything the XP has... but with a larger 750 watt motor..!!!...but the thing I love about it...it's the same price and it has an easy-out battery built into the drop tube. You don't have to...

    Lectric One

    I can remember pre-ordering the original XP 1.0 and waiting over 4 months to get it (while they already took my money). I thought to myself after that experience...why the hell did I do that? I'm old enough to know better because I could have used that $1100 a hundred other better ways that...

    Anyone know the manufacturer and model of the motor on the Lite?

    The controller and motor are designed to work together..so good luck having Lectric trouble shoot any potential problems. I would run all this by them ASAP before you do anything. They will tell you exactly what you are facing. Should they tell you something that you don't want to hear... then...

    Anyone know the manufacturer and model of the motor on the Lite?

    There are some YouTube videos on modifying the XP Lite. You may want to see a few of them before doing anything. You can also modify the factory settings to get quicker acceleration (how the power "comes on"). In the meantime just be prepared to be surprised on how peppy the XP Lite is. It...

    XP Lite Owners - Wish you had more power?

    I have an XP Lite and like it so much better than my old XP 1.0 which I sold. The 300 watt motor is sufficient to move the much lighter XP Lite and frankly it surprised me. My only concern regarding the XP Lite...its power is not sufficient for a lot of very steep hills. You need gearing for...

    BMX bars for XP 3.0 without Davidbrandnew....

    I'm interested in the SHORTY kit as well...but this dude needs to get serious about things if he wants to do this full time. His stuff is always SOLD OUT (meaning he doesn't have enough units made ahead of time due to insufficient stash). The sold out thing is getting really old. Nobody is going...

    New Lectric Xpress

    The idea of poo-pooing a FREE $500 battery is hard to understand. If you ever have to replace an expensive eBike battery, you'd run, not walk to get a deal like that. So you may not use it? You don't use home insurance 99% of the time but when you need it...the battery is almost half the cost of...

    New Lectric Xpress

    With a #60 frame, and the larger 27.5" wheels, I would get the 750 model without hesitation. Those larger wheels take a lot more to get them rolling. I had a Lectric XP with the 500 watt/20" wheels, then sold that for a Ride1Up with 750 watt/27.5 wheels...and they were about the same in so far...

    New Lectric Xpress

    For most riders...the most important thing about any eBike...and the question they should ask before they buy...is it FUN to ride (as opposed to having to work unnecessarily with complicated and or unnecessary crap). For me the XP Lite is serious FUN, and I look forward each day (weather...

    New Lectric Xpress

    The Ride1Up Core 5 had great electronics...the motor was 750 watts, and the controller was a sine wave (vs Lectroc's square wave) which made for smooth transitions. However the on board computer screen was very cheap and small, but functional. I also liked the in-frame, easy-out battery in the...

    New Lectric Xpress

    I agree. It makes perfect sense...1) Neither frame is foldable...but The XPress frame is more user friendly (easy-out, in-frame battery), 2) The XPress just looks better (the exposed battery on the ONE looks old tech to me). 3) Scrap the "cheap ass" derailleur on the XPress, 4) Commuter eBike...

    New Lectric Xpress

    Good point...its not a;ways about the technology (which is important)...but sometimes its about the "deal" (options included) that make the decision easier. I like this to buying a new car...they all have the technology to compete on a level field, but if I can get a better DEAL by including a...

    New Lectric Xpress

    You are right...there is nothing in that $1000-$1300 price range with a torque sensor that I'm aware of. For me, a torque sensor is not something I'd base a purchase on, but I get why some buyers are willing to pay extra for it. The real selling point I think for this bike is that it's a FULL...

    New Lectric Xpress

    The weight WITHOUT Battery...is 53# (as per their web site). You could also remove the front wheel (via Thru-axle) and save a bit more.
