My fiancée and I still have two cars, but once hers dies we will become an ebike + car household! Really looking at this bike, thanks for all the helpful videos on it.

GREAT REVIEW. Just bought an Expeak and am 76 years old. Great all around info for safety and how to use the bikes. Thanks

I definitely want that bike. I’m impressed.

Great Review. Just bought an XPeak and am 76 years old. Learning about safety and options is very helpful. Thanks for all the info.

Just hit 600 miles on my Xpedition and I love it! Agreed that it's an amazing value for the price (although I agree with some of those cons too-I'd definitely appreciate some good front shocks and that quieter motor).

I just bought one to help me get two grandkids to school and can’t wait to get started. Unfortunately, it arrived with a punctured front tube and is sitting for a week in the repair shop. I already love the ease of “assembly”, and your tips about accessories are very helpful - need to get to the shop this morning and have them add rear view mirror!

I installed a Nord-Lock wedge lock washer in place of the washers the kickstand was installed with. I’ve used them on other bikes to fix kickstand bolts loosening and I’ve never noticed loosening with any of them since. I highly recommend them. I was really surprised the kickstand was installed with a split-ring and a flat washer. A split ring washer doesn’t work that well at resisting loosening, but it won’t work at all with a flat washer installed with it. Other misses I noticed with my XPedition, most of which are minor (and kind of expected at this price point) but one which can cause major issues and should be corrected: One of the spring pins on one of my running boards was so off orientation, I had to enlarge its corresponding hole in the frame so it would go through it and lock the running board in. Seems someone “eyeballed” the braze-ons of the board’s support post when attaching them rather than using a fixture. Bosses for water bottle cages and battery mounts are off center. They don’t affect function, but they are easily noticeable when you look at them. Stem and fork were misaligned. I had to loosen the bolts and align them. Spacers on both brake calipers made it so a small but significant area of the pads hang off the other edge of the rotors. A friend of mine who lives in a very steep hilly area told me about how her pads caught the edge of the rear rotor after some wear and got partially ejected from their calipers, losing brake function and making really loud metallic squealing noises at the rear caliper. She sent me pics of her pads and twisted leaf return spring. When I disassembled mine, my pads also showed a corner and outer edge not wearing, creating material that could catch on the other edge of the rotors, with the rear being worse. I tried flipping the spacers and switching them front to-back but none of those worked. I ground them down so the pads are completely on the rotors. This could be dangerous if you ride down long, steep hills, so check yours out and ask Lectric to replace the spacers or entire caliper assembly (spacers would be easier as you won’t have to mess with hydraulic brake lines). Or, if you’re confident in your ability, grind yours down to correct the situation, but measure twice before grinding. All that said, it is a very good cargo ebike for its price, especially with the default speed caps removed from PAS 1 & 2. I use it for almost all my shopping runs now, though the trailer hitch is only compatible with their pet trailer, so I have to make an adapter to hook my cargo trailer to it. I do wish the power settings for each PAS level were adjustable as I think 1 is a bit high for tight maneuvers at low speed, and the gap between 1 & 2 is too big.

Been looking at Ebikes for 2 yrs. And. I'm a big guy and most bike look so small. Still leaning toward the X26. It was the 1st bike I liked, and it keeps getting better.

Great review. Regarding the missing deflopilator, I agree this is a must. I bought a spring and spring cover from another eBike manufacturer (Radio Flyer had one for a good price) and it was an easy add with the under-frame mounting boss Lectric provides. I made a simple bracket for the spring to hook to under the frame. The front fender mount has a hole on the rear for the other end of the spring. Works great! I also agree a second charger would be nice, we solved that by buying an XP trike for my wife 😂 Very impressed with both, especially at their price point. Nice job Lectric.

I have one on order. I’m old and live on coastal Florida. I ordered one because I met a guy at a fishing spot who had his totally decked out for fishing. I sure hope it’s a good purchase.

Lenny is a trooper!

Thanks Lenny

Hoping they’ll make this to fit a 16” bike user. Just need one more inch on the handle bars to make a comfortable ride for my 5’3” height. I’m waiting for now. Hope they make motor noise and other improvement suggest on this review.

Iove this bike

That might be an option for the expedition suspension fork would be nice hitting potholes onthat cargo bike

Hey Lectric, will that cargo kick stand fit my XP3 ? I'm not a big fan of the single side bike stand. Feels wonky when loading the rear rack. Love the bikes!

What bike rack would you suggest for this bike, and a Chevy Silverado truck? Is appreciate your input

Can i purchase and install an updated brake/turn signal for rear? If so where or whats the link?

I’m up to 1900 miles on my Expedition. The handle bars 4 bolts get loose BUT Lectric sent replacement bolts without even questioning - like received in 2 days, amazing, with extra bar stem also. So the service is unreal and with lock tight the bolts won’t get loose. In comments and forums everyone gives advice which solves these problems. Best value cargo bike out there as far as I know.

Thanks for the review. What kind of range are each of you getting? I’m very curious about real world results.

800+ miles into mine and i love it but.. Kickstand does come lose all the time and is a pain to reach. Lost the key to one of my batteries and replacing it seems more trouble than it's worth. It is noisy but as my first bike i have nothing to compare to. Wish the system that pulls power from both batteries could split the charge too so one charger could charge both and keep the batteries even. Wish it said how much each battery was charged instead of combined power. Torque isn't quite there yet. I go up a hill regularly that i can barely petal to the top of.

Could you please, PLEASE show how you get the Lectric pannier bags on at the same time as the Orbitor? For the life of me I can’t get it to work. Also, this video was excellent. So many review channels don’t give the details I think people actually need. You guys hit it spot on.

How water resistant is it? We live in a rain state...

Where's the cable disconnecters for the headlights.. I want to put a basket on front

I would install a velcro style seat belt for the passenger, and give them maybe a poll so they can help stand up the bike if it falls over? ?

That was some excellent feedback you had for Lectric regarding loading kids. Ryan, are you about done having kids? If you have anymore you’re going to need to buy a boxfiets or go back to cars. :-(

What about a 20 thousand miles update?????

Where did you get that orange kids seat?

wait how did you get the plus 1 chair that far back? Care to share?

im 6.6 ft can i fit on lectric xpremium ebike

How can a motor be 400% quieter? Wouldn't 100% quieter be silent?? Lol. Good video

Definitely prefer the child cage on my RW4.

I weight 230lb, can I transport my 110lb wife on this bike? Ty

Damn, they seriously need a better kickstand!!!

I think it would be nice for Lectric engineers to comment on some of these criticisms, rather than just “fix them “. For example, the loud hub motor probably had to do with having more durable metallic sandwich planetary gears. If the reviewers or the public in general knew that there was an engineering choice between having it be louder, but also more durable versus quieter, but also weaker, most people would put up with the extra noise and stop complaining about it. Likewise, as an engineer myself, I know that the lack of a suspension fork was way to keep the cost and wait down. This bike cannot be offered for $1400 if it had a suspension fork that was worth a damn. It was a way to lower the cost without also lowering the quality. I see that Lectric is making videos here and there they should make a video series on things like this.

I'm a full time cyclist, don't own a car. I ride 10,000 miles a year (only 500 miles on a Ebike) and on the third year with a Tourney rear derailleur, not a problem. The biggest con is the 3 inch wide tires and lack of choices in this tire size. There may be zero good choices in fat tires (over 2 inches wide) my conventional bikes all use Schwalbe Marathon Plus, these are the ONLY tire that would pass a DOT test. Schwalbe does not make a 20x3 Marathon Plus tire. I own a Lectric XP 3.0 and immediately filled the tires with Flat-Out military grade tire sealant and have not had a flat in 550 miles or 100% of ownership. 4 inch wide tire option (tire clearance) should be available on any 3 inch tire bike just so we all have a wide choice in tire manufactures. The bike may look a little funny running 3 inch tires under 4 inch fenders...but I don't care, this bike all about work, how much it can carry, range and how dependable. Looks is meaningless when you are 50 miles from home with a flat tire and have to go through the long process of removing the rear wheel for repair. Rear tire flats out number front tire flats 20 to 1. I would strongly suggest trailers for children, sitting that high up in a seat on the bike if you crash the children are going to take a strong hit to the pavement. Trailers do mean a more skilled cyclist because of the turning and width, when going close to poles (signs) you don't want to have a pole lodged in between the trailer and its wheel. Remember helmets offer only a level of protection, NOT 100%. I am a highly skilled cyclist with over 50 years of serious riding and professional racing, I would NEVER place my child in a child seat and would only use a trailer with flashing lights and a flag. One huge advantage of a child trailer is traffic will be 1000x more respectful to you being on the road when a child is involved. Put one of those "Child on Board" big yellow signs on the back of the trailer! NOTE: make sure when using a trailer you have a double back-up safety lash (two independent lashes) just in case the trailer hitch fails. And, some inexpensive walkie-talkie's is nice to have and fun for the kids to communicate with you. And the kids can tell you if something may be wrong with the trailer or hitch. Trailers should have the best tire in the world on them only use Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires, they come in 16 and 20 inch sizes for trailers. When using a trailer the bike handles very close to normal, there is no strange handling problems like you would have with kids on the rear rack. Plus kids move, this movement you will feel in strange handling. I tour only with a trailer, the days of loading a bike with panniers and the stupid handling you get from a loaded bike are over for me.

Any cargo bike should have a STURDY kickstand, there's simply no excuse for not having a good stand. The whole "you're not meant to use it when you're loading cargo" is absurd. Literally the only reason why you buy a cargo bike is because every time you ride it, you're loading cargo. In this sense, Tern has it right, their kickstand is great.

I bought this bike and it never worked. It took around 2 months to get my full refund

One large battery seems like it would be better than 2 small batteries. Seems like wasted space. A single battery could be more powerful than the dial batteries.

Dumb cons !!! Yalll did some brainstorming to come up with those ! And an extra cup of coffee to agree on the wording 😳🤦‍♂️ Lectric direct 👍 won’t be padding their bank account

Must give a bumpy ass ride.

I know you’re trying to make a living doing this, but in recent episodes, it feels very commercial. Selling stuff from your store, sponsor callouts… yuck. You’ve really sold out. 😔
