The brand-new XP Lite 2.0 from Lectric has received major upgrades, transforming this bike into a powerhouse. With enhancements to the display, brakes, tires, handlebars, motor, and the option to upgrade to a bigger battery, the XP Lite 2.0 delivers exceptional performance. Even more impressively, Lectric has kept the bike at the same low price as the original Lite!
One of the standout features is the optional Gates Carbon Belt Drive upgrade for just $100. This makes the XP Lite 2.0 the first ebike we've tested with a Gates Carbon Belt Drive priced under $1,700, let alone $1,000.
Join Andrew in this video as he takes you on a detailed walkthrough, tests the bike on various terrains, and shares his insights on what he loves and doesn’t about the Lectric XP Lite 2.0. Don’t miss this in-depth review!

*Was just watchin videos of this last night and today,* I like the more BMX style handle but wish they leaned into that design a lil more 🤙🏽⚡️🤟🏽⚡️🤙🏽 Great price for a light eBike, belt drive version available and nicer brakes 👌🏽 Nice review. Love the black one 🤙🏽

If you get the turtle neck attachment from David Brand New, it really helps the geometry to become more of a BMX style type bike.

I see everyone else has beat Andrew up about the lavender comment. LOL I ordered the JW Black long-range for the belt drive. Owning the XP Trike for a year and I just don't use it because it is very cumbersome for negotiating the plethora of potholes around town. This will be sweet for getting around more easily. Nice! Plus is that I have both tow-bars with hitch for the pup cart because I preordered the wag along before the trike bar was available and I got a freebie upgrade. The Tibetan Spaniels were miserable in the pup cart as I tried to dodge potholes for both the trike and their cart. This will be easier for trips to the trailhead. They timed the introduction sale of the XP Lite 2.0 perfectly to rope me in on it.

@alwaysplaythegame Ай бұрын

$799 isnt cheap in the budget ebike space like it used to be, so it has to be improved even at that price point. I have a pair of Lectric 1.0s and no real complaints so far, but back then you couldn't buy much under $1k and now there are countless options, even at $600. You can't go wrong here as any decent ebike like this is a hundred times more comfortable and enjoyable than an old school human-powered bike for the majority of riders. If you are on the fence regarding buying an ebike, just buy one (whatever your budget). Especially if you are a little handy when it comes to maintenance and possible repairs.

@buffalomind6838 Ай бұрын

It’s a nice looking ebike. It looks like it weighs half the amount it actually does which is a minus Respectfully. I like that they made the 300 watt peak higher, but hopefully in the next batch they can offer a much lighter ebike with a higher peak wattage.

@Psyniigianni Ай бұрын

I had the original xplite and it was nice and light and and fun at first,but I wished they would keep the bmx design but a 500w motor and upgraded controller with a bigger battery. Would it be heavier? Yes it would but I just can’t do 20mph of anything anymore. It just takes entirely too long to get anywhere. If this bike could do at least 25mph that would feel like a huge difference. With their other bikes they have no problem with giving more power but the trade off is you look like you’re on something your grandparents would ride. Just swap everything that’s in their top tier bikes and put it in a bmx frame and you have a winner. The look, speed and power would be there.

@@car_tar3882 so first the breaks squeaky and after 2 weeks both front and rear started scraping more noticeable when walking the bike . And when i was checking the bike out the front wheel already started wobbling so basically the reason why the front was scraping against the brakes . New to ebikes so sent it to get fixed its been 2 days since they had the bike hopefully nothing crazy needs to be fix paid 80 and lectric only covers 150 .. sucks that not having the bike long and already having issue very frustrating and concerning

A belt drive will last up to 10,000 miles and require little to no maintenance. A belt drive is really nice to have and it makes the bike smooth and quiet.

@jimjr9143 Ай бұрын

More and more of there e-bikes are not worth the lower battery capacity version Compared to the larger battery . You get quite a bit more overall with the higher capacity version . With how very low price the cells are in these packs i wish they would get rid of the tiny battery and go with 14ah then 20ah for the 2 versions for any future bikes and 21700 cells should be the cell of choice for all e-bikes . The cells are cheap enough by far that it should be standard . Possibly might buy this 2.0 later for my son

Only issue is that Slime hardens over time. FlatOut is significantly superior.

@chow-chihuang4903 Ай бұрын

It also weakens the latex tube. I had a slightly deflated tire due to a puncture by a pin. The Slime plugged up the puncture, but the tire was too soft to ride safely. When I tried to pump it up, the valve stem ripped off the tube almost immediately and I had to call for a lift home. I was pretty annoyed. I’ve since installed Tannus Armour and not put any sealant in the new tubes.

@chow-chihuang4903 Ай бұрын

My friend and I own XPeditions. I had an easier time getting a response to fix brake caliper misalignment issues with the rotors than she, though she eventually got them to also send her a set of replacements. Trouble is, the bracket on the replacement front kit fixed the alignment on the front set, but the replacement rear kit doesn’t. In fact, the bracket it came with won’t work with the 180mm rear rotor - the caliper body hits the rotor before the bracket’s holes even come anywhere close to the mounting holes in the frame. So I’ve ground more material off the original bracket to try to get the pad fully bearing on the rotor. She and her husband got multiple controllers for their XP 2.0s as they burnt out. Still, they shouldn’t burn out so rapidly. The ones in the 3.0 seem more robust. I’ve had issues with some of their accessories. Holes not lining up, etc. I can grind them larger to make them fit, but the quality of their accessories is hit-or-miss. There are minor issues with frame bosses for battery mounts and bottle cages, but they’re usable. Just don’t expect them to be aligned well. Net, great value for the price, but expect some issues. Issues that can be resolved by sending you in-stock parts are fixed quickly, though you have to replace them yourself or cover the labor for a mechanic to do it. Issues that can’t, likely won’t be resolved. They simply won’t respond, not even acknowledging your issue. Oh well, I’ve got a set of replacement hydraulic brake calipers out of it.

Women aren't discouraged from e-biking because of the colour of a bike; they're most likely discouraged cos e-bikes and e-motos are made with men's dimensions in mind. Frame size, standover height, reach length to the handlebars, etc. are the things that certainly matter to me, as a woman who's 5', on a good day. And c'mon, it's 2024, not 1954; why are "girl colours" and "boy colours" even still a thing? I'm 47, and I'm already way past that outdated thinking.
