It will blend perfectly with your Hyundai! I certainly didn't need the Lite either, but at the price point, it was hard to resist as an easy to access and store 2nd bike.
Yeah, I think I maybe folded our original XP 2 or 3 times and got tired of pinching my fingers and the awkwardness of folding and hoisting-then my son converted it into a bmx bike with front suspension and new front stem and handlebars. I don't think it even folds anymore.
I bought my Lectric XP 1.0 summer of Covid (2020?) and I want to say it took 6 weeks from the time of order to delivery. I believe I was also quoted 6 weeks lead time. I would not hesitate to do business with Lectric again. The new Lectric Lite looks interesting. The original XP was just too heavy for my tired body to fold and lug...
A little less than a month but I ordered before they were shipping them out. On the website it will tell you the approximate wait time. I'm sure it's different depending on your country.
Be careful when folding it because if the battery isn't locked in it'll fall out. The last thing you want is a lithium battery hitting the concrete right in front of your face
Actually I was thinking, "Wow they convinced people to pay more, get less and feel good about it. Damn, wish I didn't have a conscience and could just take peoples' money. But we're about value. Not overcharging for less.".
Pay more? $100 less than the original version, $200 less than the current 2.0.
Very well said. The Lite and the 2.0 are different machines for different needs, and the "coffee-rant" comparison only makes sense if you're comparing bike value by bulk or by the pound...or for features someone might or might not care about. A lot of people love the 2.0. I get it. The only Lectric I've taken an interest in for myself is the Lite, not even factoring price, but I've suggested the 2.0 many times to first time buyers that might not be put off by the weight, or who I think will benefit by having fat tires. They're both great values in the current marketplace, but different beasts altogether.
You seem really confused about what that video is about. I compared the VX2 to the XP 2.0 not the LITE. We have a unit that costs $100 less and weighs under 40lbs with a bigger battery the the XP Lite. That's not even the one I'm designing, which is just under 50lbs, foldable and still better equipped than the XP Lite. Still about a year out from any production on it. We are better, simply by the fact we actually work on these, repair them and help people upgrade them. Lectric doesn't have a shop, they tell people they "made" something when they just ordered it, probably don't know how to bleed brake and use gorilla marketers to negatively comment on others who might threaten their position. Not you, but I've traced back some of the commenters on our stuff.
Interesting, since our Paselec shipment is supposed to be here mid-end of July as well. Probably in the same shipment. The more I've been riding our mid-drive the more I appreciate it for what it is vs our hub drives. Quite a bit more technical with all the shifting required to get the torque from the motor. It's fun, like driving my 6speed Fiat, but less of an automatic transmission experience that you get from a hub motor. Sure, you could leave the mid-drive in one gear, but then you might as well get a hub motor and get the full torque curve without shifting. I have to get ready to run some errands this morning, I use our E-bikes every chance I can to replace the car trips. Got to live it everyday, not just on the weekends
I’m not confused about some video.
I can understand how coming to that realization would upset you, but I didn't say or insinuate anything. The reply of mine you commented to was about the commentary of the video. It's understandable with as upset you appear to be you'd make some mistakes. The comparison you cite is explaining why it costs and weighs more, that unit is the VX1. The VX2 is comparable to the Lectric XP 2.0, but more battery and power for less money. We decided to list the Paselec Mini 3.0 in response to requests for something lighter than the XP Lite, which it is, cost less and comes with a larger battery, with a smaller folded footprint. I almost forgot to mention the wireless alarm that's included for $700. Again, I can understand your confusion, from what you said above you stepped in without checking the overall context. Normal mistake, it happens a lot on the internet.
