Except it doesn’t come with the fenders and rack. That’s a 99 dollar upgrade.

That’s a good catch. They have never charged for it in the past and didn’t let us know when they brought to bike to us for testing and review.

I don't think the light is all that bad. only that mine came mounted off centered and after attempted to take it off and adjust it, it was just bent so I rebent it... Altus or better would for sure be a nice upgrade. The 999 is ofc the 500w and even the 750 doesn't come with fenders and rack... the package claims the rack can only hold 30 pounds??? I'll wait and see if they don't add a better deal later like they just did with the Xpeak

@Andrew-vt4jt 28 күн бұрын

The rack we had said 25 kgs and had fenders, so they might have a different one on the final production unit. They should have let me know the fenders were not included.

Having customer service in the Philippines does not mean there is a language barrier. maybe a cultural barrier but certainly not a language barrier. Over 60% of all customer service for American B2C firms is based out of the Philippines and that's been true since the early nineties when India based support was becoming a nuisance due to hard accents.

@greenwave819 29 күн бұрын

it is 100% a real thing. I find I get much easier support from India actually. 90% or the time it is 80% better and 75% of the time there is no "accent" and let's toss in some extra % just to be 80% more scientific.

I want to purchase this bike, but I'm waiting for a version of the Lectric XPress that gives me an option of choosing upgrades. Give us an option for an upgraded version of the XPress, Letric. We want the upgraded parts: derailleur, fenders, suspension, etc., but we would like to have them direct from the factory, and avoid the higher cost of paying a bike shop to swap out the parts.

Looks like a great bike, but why would you make a commuter bike in 2024 and not have a working brake light? The whole point of a commuter is you're going to be sharing space with traffic and other cyclists on bike paths. Commuters need that the most, IMO. Come on Lectric, it's one wire.

@@doctadrey3000 Yes 100% there is a reason that they are mandatory on all motor vehicles and it is because they are super effective at making people behind you aware of what you're doing. There's no excuse not to have a brake light.

Good value models, though they don’t include fenders or racks, and the tires are 27.5x2.1in. Which lab certified Lectric’s e-bikes? I’ve not found any of them in databases of certified products at UL, SGS or TUV. I’ve searched by “Lectric” for manufacturer or trade name, and various capitalizations of “XPeak”, “ONE” or “XPress” and not found any mention of them in those three lab’s databases. I keep hearing they’re UL certified to UL 2849, but have yet to be able to confirm it.

All these companies are killing themselves in the long run with these torque sensors. Defeats the purpose of an electric bike, when your battery dies you have a torque sensor that automatically kicks in.
