This review delves into the latest offering from Lectric, the Lectric XPress, an ebike that marries affordability with advanced features like a torque sensor. I examine the bike's specifications, design choices, performance, and unique selling points, including insights from CEO Levi Conlow on the strategic positioning. I also weigh the pros and cons to help potential buyers make an informed decision.

I purchased the Xpeak about a month ago. Having serious issues with the freewheel. Contacted Lectric. Jon was phenomenal. New parts have been ordered at no cost to me and Lectric will also cover the shop fees for parts installation. That's a level of customer service I'm simply not accustomed to. Mind, BLOWN! The KZfaq naysayers just plain wrong. No product is perfect, yet, great customer service bridges the gap between imperfect product and customer satisfaction. Thank you Lectric.

Biggest perhaps, but definitely not the best, and I own an XPedition. I’ve had to modify several features on the bike due to misalignment of poorly-made footboards, brake calipers to rotors, and a center kickstand that constantly loosened due to stacking a flat washer with a split-ring lock washer and that doesn’t include the misaligned mounting bosses for bottle cage and battery mounts, which are very visibly off-center but still function. They make great value e-bikes, but they have noticeable manufacturing issues, some of which can be dangerous (I checked the brake caliper alignment only after a friend had the rear pads ejected from the caliper while braking downhill due to the misalignment - it left unworn sections on the pads, which caught the edge of the rotor, kicking them out with a loud bang), but so far have been correctable. I didn’t nearly lose the center kickstand but my friend nearly did, and that may have caused a sudden loss of control. Net, they offer great value, but give them a very thorough inspection before you ride and during the first 50-100 miles. You may have to file/grind or replace some components.

I have 2 XP3.0 and a XPeak. I love them all. The support is the big reason for me staying with the brand. My wife wrecked her XP 3.0 and broke the motor disconnected cable on the brake lever. I told Support what happened and asked for the cost of the replacement. They sent me a new one at no cost. We then had a display crap out on one of the XPs and I emailed support and again no hassles or questions, they just sent another one. I will be pre-ordering this bike just because of the street tires and the extra battery. I plan to use it to commute around my work.

I have four Lectric ebikes. Two 3.0's and two Trikes. No question the value is exceptional. I had to exchange one Trike due to a cracked axle bearing, which has been an issue for them. Thus far no repair process has been made, so there are many Trike owners that wonder what happens when the one year warranty expires? I'd like you two gentlemen at Ebike Escape to ask Levy about this. Phone support has no answer for that question. In warranty service has been great otherwise. They send new parts that are damaged in shipment, mostly fenders, and sent the hydraulic brake upgrade kits to existing owners.

I also have the XPremium and was wondering the same thing. I sure do love my XPremium but I am seriously thinking of getting this XPress to ride. I have never ridden a hub drive, only the mid drive on the XPremium. I like how much my XPremium feels like a normal bicycle, until it comes to putting it into my car. I think I could put the XPress into my Ford Flex a whole lot easier. Lots of cargo space inside the back when you put the seats down and it will be sheltered from the weather and thieves.

I enjoyed you podcast. Question (1) for the LECTRIC ONE. Is there a spot to store an extra battery on it? Purpose of use: I want to do another long tour and have my wife use the Lectric One as the SAG vehicle while I pedal my recumbent. My wife is Thai and tops the tape measure at 4'11 so the 20" wheels ergonomically work for her. Also my recumbent is 20" wheels so we can converse while riding 2 up at the same level! The Lectric One is quite the package and the less maintenance I have to do on my own the better. I was first choosing the Expedition Dual cargo bike because of the extra battery, but the "ONE" has more excellent features. Also (2) can the rear rack be designed to handle ORTLIEB Clip-on Bags? (This came up in a talk with other bikers as to how they can transfer all the gear we have build up from pedal bikes to EBikes.) Might be another good selling point for you. Again great show and seems to be a great company. Hoping you all a highly successful future.. Your thoughts please, Mike

I never have been a fan of twist grip throttles. Thumb throttle is perfect! I only use throttle to take off in traffic. I pedal all the rest of the time so I would rather have a full grip just to hang on to while pedaling. I love the look of the bigger tires that are only 2.1" wide. I have been riding my XPremium for 2 years now and find I don't need all the racks to carry heavy stuff around because I just ride my bike for exercise and for 20 to 25 mile rides usually. I have had people say things to me on the bike trails (maybe because of the big fat tires on the XPremium that some people misjudge). This XPress looks more normal and I like that. Wish they had some blue paint somewhere on the white step thru model. Now I do love my XPremium but it isn't much fun to put in my Ford Flex at the end of a ride. I think I can put this XPress into the back of my Ford Flex a whole lot easier. I am waiting till tomorrow to place my order just to feel better about my decision but I am sure I will so I can get in on the sale. I will use the link Ebike Escape has so they can reap the little reward that they deserve for putting out this great review. I have been a subscriber for quite awhile. These guys are great. And so is the Lectric company.

As a 70 yr old that own a few e-bikes, at about the 6:03 mark when you stated the DOWNSIDE of a torque sensor, I have to disagree. I totally prefer a torque sensor over a cadence sensor, and I own both. In fact, I just ordered another bike and yes, with a torque sensor. I can understand people will get better range with pedaling a cadence sensor vs. just using throttle. After I ride a cadence sensor and then ride a torque sensor, I always feel I've cheated myself having ridden the bike with the cadence sensor. And feel I might as will have just used the throttle for the little workout I got from the cadence sensor. I'm to the point having owned both, it's highly unlikely I will ever buy another cadence sensor bike. I own a Wire Freedom and bought it because of the rear suspension. I like to pedal, and I'm thinking about selling it because I can't stand that cadence sensor, and feel most people that ride the Freedom are “throttle jockeys”. BTW, in 2019 I bought the original Lectric XP, the one with no suspension, and sold it in 2023. I think Lectric is a good starter bike, but doubt I'll ever own another "low end" e-bike.

This looks like a phenomenal deal with the battery upgrade. The only thing is once you add in the fenders and rack its close to $1,500 which is still a good deal. I could not wait for this one to come out in June so I bought a Mokwheel Asphalt ST. It's $1,500 and includes fenders and a nice rear rack. It also has a 14.4 Ah battery and torque peddling. Here's what I can tell you as far as the difference between torque and cadence peddling: If you desire a natural peddling feel get the torque. If you want to hit the top speed easily without much effort get cadence. I have both but torque peddling is preferred because I enjoy the exercise of torque peddling. The Mokwheel has 5 PAS settings and I can hit 28 mph in PAS 1. You can't do that with cadence peddling. Going to PAS 3 or above with torque peddling requires much less effort to get to 30 mph and stay there. Cadence is easier but torque is more natural and won't jerk you out of the saddle.

Another benefit to torque sensor e-bikes is the control you have over motor assistance. It helps when navigating through tight turns or maneuvers, such as making U-turns on a path or threading through one of those gates sometimes installed on a path at an entrance or at rail crossings. I find I have to turn off all assistance with a cadence sensor system or get off and walk the bike, but I can ride through just fine with my torque sensor bike. It’s also easy to match speeds with other riders with a torque sensor, especially in a tight formation. It can also be done with a current/power-based PAS on a cadence sensor bike , but very difficult with a speed-targeting PAS driven by a cadence sensor.

You asked how they make money on first question . Low cost parts for sure . Low cost motor , low cost battery pack . On that note i hope they did not go even lower quality on the motor on the xpress as i watched one video and the motor was very loud so time will tell as customers come out and review them .But if they work and work well for the price then that’s fine . My issue has been as an owner of the Lectric 3.0 is there e-bikes are rated for 28mph but its a pain to reach that 28mph let alone attempt to keep that speed . Huge issue for me . Tried my friends 2.0 and same thing . They have one that wobbles bad if you dare to lift hands off the handlebars . Badly balanced . One where you will hit your foot on the front tire when turning (potential accidents with it) but and this is a big but, they have excellent customer service . That is a huge plus for any company . I have heard of plenty of e-bike companies that have horrible customer service and do everything they can to get out of a valid warranty claim . So just need to fine tune there e-bikes more before putting into production . Now in the interview he mentions comfortably maintaining 28mph pas 4-5 then i may seriously consider purchasing this . Now i wish whey would do away with the 10ah pack and start with 14ah for low end and 20ah for high end . Look up how much each cell costs and you will see the price difference they pay for an extra few cells is literally just a few dollars . Need to get rid of 10ah . They put that in there $2000 e-bike and just no . Right now there is competition at the $2000 price point putting in 60v 20ah packs . The norm at that price is 52v 20ah minimum

I have had three super positive experinces with Lectric. Ride #1, my son took a spill an bent the derailleur and break lever. I was ready to buy a new part, but Lectric customer services sent them free of charge. Several months later, there was a big push to get hydraulic brakes installed on older bikes. They made that process easy to register for, and a whole front wheel and new hydro brakes were sent, along with a $100 towards having a shop make the repair. Crazy right. Lastly. Due to my own absent mindedness, my shattered the screen when i was transporting the folded bike. Reached out to lectric to get the part number so i could but one online, and before I knew it they are shipping me one for free. They are not fancy, but if you are looking for an e-bike I would recommend Lectric without reservation.

They are really striking a blow against many other bike companies with these low-priced but relatively full-featured bikes. My thoughts are: 1. I prefer a thumb throttle as it is, in my view, safer. 2. The use of the Tourney derailleur and shifter is a cheap out and many of their competitors use as a base shifting system the Altus with trigger shifters. 3. I work at a bike shop and we are often getting in various Lectric bikes for repairs. The quality of these bikes, again in my view, is below that of the competition. I understand this, as they are a high-volume manufacturer, however, for a few hundred more you can get an equally good or better bike from Velotric, Aventon, or Ride1Up. I would not put Rad with those three as I think their technology is behind at this point. 4. Bike makers are now more careful to get UL certification not only on their batteries but also as Velotric has done on their entire bike (Discover2). Without this certification, bikes cannot be sold in New York City and I think you are going to see other jurisdictions follow suit. 5. Torque sensors are the way to go. If as Levi says their sensor has some sort of unique design and function as he described, I will give that to him. While these bikes get more people out there, it comes with a price and I think that over time these bikes will be starter bikes for many buyers and fodder for landfills.

Step through Guys, find your security elsewhere. BTW, the small motor will before reliable and it, along with the battery, make the bike noticeably lighter and better handling. People all over the world are really excited about theor 259 watt motors with significantly less torque.

The Halo story was at first super endearing, but then when he stated that "XP points" came from games like Halo and CoD he lost a million points, c'mon man!

Looks like the same frame design as the Xpeak which means it will likely have the same death wobble on the step thru model. Ill take a pass on the step thru no matter what because of that, I hate thumb throttles but that isnt a deal breaker since if can be changed very easy. That newer controller they were using is just plain bad, I hope this corrects the issues they had with those. It sounds like they may have from what you are saying.

The Aventon Soltera's motor is only 350W. That's pretty weak compared to the XPress.

thumb throttle is ok. Right hand thumb throttle is ultra stupid. Need to be able to throttle and shift down gears at same time when starting on a hill. Lectric has bad PAS "improvements". Regular PAS gives constant speed which is always what you want. Pedal harder and be rewarded with more range. Also do not have 9 PAS levels, which is perfect for "want faster 5km, then bump up 1 PAS level." Torque is terrible for commuting. Good for lazy newbies only, who'd probably prefer a no pedal scooter anyway.
