Thanks. This helped me decide in favor of the Step-Thru version over the regular XP (for the 2.0 models just released May 2021). Given greater speed of ebikes and their tank-weight, anything that adds to safety at high or low speed is a plus. So, Step-Thru's lower center of gravity, and allowing foot on pedal to be a couple inches closer to the ground definitely more useful in dense urban street environment with frequent need to wait at lights and keep bike upright rather than tilted to one side so foot can be on the ground.

@PaulMSabol 4 жыл бұрын

The step thru has less ground clearance, which may effect riding off trails.

Xlnt review, thanks! Was all set to buy one XP and one Step Thru, keeping with the men’s/women’s traditional styles. However, the incompatible battery issue, no matter how infrequent it may arise, convinced me to just buy 2 Step Thru bikes. I see some others (men) did similarly. The lower center of gravity may also help on these small wheelbase bikes, and pedal ground clearance appears to work. I’ll retrain my brain as unisex bikes. These should work great for our 1st RV trip....can’t wait!

I don’t think an adapter would work now because the frame would’ve had to been designed differently so that the original battery would go up in further and then have an adapter. Like I said not even sure if this could have been done.

@brent6100 4 жыл бұрын

What a disappointment that they didn't design the step-thru & regular batteries to be compatible! Seems like it is totally do-able. Was that only for a profit motive? (I'll bet all owners that bought extra batteries are pissed!)

@JeremiahMcintosh 4 жыл бұрын

No I don’t believe it was for profit I honestly they had to have the frame at that angle for it that actually fold correct. On a good note at least the batteries are only $300 versus some other brands that are $5 to $550!

To be honest I think they had to do it that way to make it fold correctly I don’t think it was a money motive.

With the seat still in place, I just lift the bike and place the bottom of the seat post tube over the closet pole and lower down. That won't be happening w/the step-through and since I perform my own service/mod work, may complicate the decision to purchase the step-through for my 5'-11" 'honey-bunny'..

Thanks for the video. I only wished you did a turning test on the ST to see how much slant is allowed before the pedals hit the pavement. I know you mentioned to have the pedal high on the side of the turn. But, during an emergency situation, you may not have time to adjust. I also heard the crank on the ST is slightly back compared to the standard. How does this impact the pedaling and ride?

Good comparison. Since the crank arms are about 2" lower to the pavement, have you noticed any problems when corning if the inside pedal is in the low (6 o'clock) position? As an avid cyclist, I know that as good practice you should never have the inside pedal in the low (6 o'clock) position to avoid the pedal from hitting the pavement, but a novice cyclist may have a problem remembering this. With the standard XP, this was not a problem since the crank arms are so high off the ground, more so than standard bikes. I wish the step trough version was available when I bought my wife's XP. She had a problem with the seat being so high (when adjust for proper leg extension) that her feet could not touch the ground, so I had to lower her seat all the way down after she had several falls due to this problem. 👍

Sonny this Bike would probably definitely be a better fit for her then with the pedals being lower. I tried to measure the angle of the bike when leaned and the pedal in the 6 o’clock position touching the ground and you can lean the bike between 20 to 25° depending on the pedal position when the crank is at 6 o’clock. I also just took it for a spin in the grass and tried to lean as much as possible in PS1 to make the tightest turn while pedaling and the pedals never hit the ground. I think unless you were leaning this over going very fast and cornering like on a crotch rocket I don’t think you would have a problem. That’s a good question and I may add this to my list of topics for a future video. Thanks Sonny

I had this same question too: is there a danger of pedal/foot/toes hitting ground on the inside of turn (please be careful! Trying to demonstrate this can be result in painful/costly if not fatal catastrophe!). I'm guessing/hoping that the amp hour (AH) rating of the battery is the same? (I think you said the original was 10.4 AH?) (Since both bikes are 48 volts (thirteen (13) 3.7 volt LG batteries in series), the 10.4 AH is very likely created by arranging 4 cells in parallel, and I assume each cell has a 2.6AH capacity. So I guess 13s4p (13 series and 4 parallel) 52 total cells in the pack for both bikes?

You are correct the amp hour is the same on both batteries at 10.4

Jeremiah, very informative review. I noticed the derailer is flat out from the bike where you attached the drop-down panniers. My Lectric XP, once unboxed, had dents on each side of the front fork and the derailer is flat against the bike (and it will not budge). I am afraid to try it out if this might affect performance or be a safety hazard. Also, the battery will not come out of the case even though the holding button is all the way in. Can you tell if they shipped me a "dud" or if these issues are not safety issues. I never heard back from Levi when addressing the dents upon arrival. I would appreciate your input. I noticed you pulled a derailer out and made it look so easy. Thank you for the honest review.

If it’s a safety concern I would wait to hear back from them. Did you remove the rubber plug when trying to remove the battery? Send them photos in an email then call customer service.

@@JeremiahMcintosh Jeremiah, I was able to get the battery out; now with battery out and seat post out the bike is significantly lighter, as I had hoped, for me to lift for transport. As you suggested, I am going to inquire directly with customer service with picture before riding to see if safety might be compromised with the derailer. Thank you for your quick response. Truly appreciate your reviews.

Good morning Jeremiah and happy New Year to you and your family. I have subscribed to your channel and viewed many videos you are definitely a person who has convinced me to get the Lelectric bikes. I will be ordering 2 XP step through and wanted to get my accessories ready for when the bike arrives. First thing I want to purchase is the cloud nine seat which of course is not available but added it to my wish list like you said. For the suspension post the 2 links below have three posts and two are unavailable. The Ganopper is available but I only see the 31.6 with 350mm not 400. Can you help thank you Cindy

Thanks for the comparison: now I'm actually leaning towards the Step-Thru... I'm 6'4" and I like to have the seat at a height that I can just put my foot on the ground (or at least the front of my foot heel up a bit), so that I don't need to get off the saddle when I stop... seems to me that the 2 extra inches of the pedals will be beneficial for riding/pedaling comfort on the Step-Thru...

Not really. There is 2” less on the pedal clearance and I don’t think it is a problem but it might be for some people depending on your style of riding. Have you seen my size comparison video on the original xp? If not definitely watch that first. I think you will be happy with either bike.

Great presentation, recently I got my bike with multiple problems. One main concern the frame latch opens up when riding the bike; a serious safety issue. Made adjustments as directed by Lectric but the latch continues to open (fully) while riding. If you're buying a bike from them make sure they correct that problem. Personally I would walk away from this bike and seek something more safe even if it cost more. Sorry Jeremiah to mention this on your channel but I think buyers should be aware of that issue. Peace brother.

@JeremiahMcintosh 4 жыл бұрын

Don’t be sorry for mentioning anything on my channel if it’s a problem that should be addressed and known. With that being said both latches do work excellent on my bike and stay latched with the locks. I did check them once I heard of the issue on the Facebook forum but everything seems fine. I did have to adjust the one slightly on the step through to tighten it up a little but the locking mechanisms work perfect.

Can you tell me the distance from the bottom of the pedals to the ground on both models? Looks like you were pretty close to hitting your shoe off the ground while pedaling the step through. I’d like to compare those measurements to my current bike. I like the fact that you feel the step through has a lower center of gravity. Great video! Thanks!

I'd like to know the distance from the bottom of the pedal to the ground also! Also the pedal length, from the centerline of the crank to the center line of the pedal screw.
