The new 2024 Lectric One E-bike with its Pinion C1.6i Smart Shift gearbox and its Gates carbon belt puts this e-bike at a whole new level! This electric bike is rocking a 750w geared hub motor that’s peaking out at over 1,300w and with the low weight to watt ratio this bike is sure to launch you off the start and boost you up hills when you smash the throttle! It can also reach speeds up to 28Mph with PAS!
With the automatic shift feature of the Pinion Smart.shift gearbox this ebike is a dream shifting through gears while eliminating the need for chain and derailleur maintenance.

I had the original [1.0] in 2020 and put 1,200 miles on it. Jeremiah, your reviews helped me pull the trigger on the $800 bike back then. It was the most money that I had ever spent on a bicycle and I didn't own a car back then. It made the hills in my little town manageable and non-factors for getting around. I could go from one end of town to the other in a loop and not run out of electricity. Unfortunately it rains a solid three months where I live so I got a little car and sold off my bike for $500 after eighteen months of ownership. I miss that bike, on sunny ☀️ days. Jeremiah and KevCentral are awesome bike guys!!! Sorry for mixing up my biblical J dudes 😋

I predicted this bike: drive belt and automatic shifting! I'm surprised Lectric pulled it together so quickly. It looks amazing. This is a game changer. All that's missing is 40 mph top speed when unlocked to compete with Wired. Maybe it has this... Looking forward to the next video about this bike. Great work Lectric!

Great review . Covered a lot with that short time of getting to try this e-bike . I was hoping for something different . They keep sticking with there very small battery pack . At that price still not UL certified , compliant not the same as certified . Still using very low cost 18650 cells . My lectric 3.0 already does throttle only speed of 20mph and hard pedaling to reach 28mph , closer to 25-26mph to maintain . I was at least hoping this new one would easily get to and maintain 28mph but its just like all the rest . $2000 and no suspension . I do not think i even saw a suspension seat post . Basically it feels like paying $2000 for a more fancy way to change gears . I cannot ride an e-bike if the brakes are squeeking . That generally means cheaper metal of the rotor and or brake pads . Review was very well done . E-bike is a hard pass for me . Possibly in a later group ride local , if i find someone who has bought it i may try it out to see if the ride matches my first impression .

I'd want a step-over. With significant weight on the rear rack, step through ebikes flex like a wet noodle. I rode one last year, 700 miles. If you're not hauling groceries on the rack they're ok. I don't like step through ebikes.

I wonder what Lectric has against full suspension? I understand no suspension, or half suspension brings down the weight which is cool for some e-bikes, but I believe none of their line up have full suspension. That’s a head scratcher.

@JeremiahMcintosh 2 ай бұрын

Pretty simple add a suspension seat post to most of their lineup but I agree it would have been nice to have the front suspension on this model. It’s definitely a trade off for weight and most people do prefer lighter bikes so maybe this is the reason?

@DrBerdi 2 ай бұрын

I am in agreement with all the comments regarding battery and suspension. I am only posting since I watched others who got the AZ trip courtesy of Lectric and your video is the best. Somewhat ironic my 1st ever while ride was at the Grand Canyon where we rented them. Five minutes in it I said to the wife ohhh we are so getting a pair of Ebikes when we get home. And I did. They changed our lives for the better.

Lectric sort of help get it all started in mass ebike marketing. Credit to them for that. Having said that, it's odd that they don't seem to listen to customers any more about what riders want and don't want. Whenever I speak to other ebike riders I consistently heard three things. Lower price, more range, more speed. We don't want another app to fidget with. We want less tech, not more. The fact that this smaller, lighter weight bike is more expensive is ridiculous. Lectric is innovative. But, this one misses the mark for actual potential customers. $2000! Crazy pricing.

big mistake to sell an Ebike for $2,000 bucks with no front or rear suspension. a friend of mine with the original electric bike (no suspension) spends most of his time replacing broken spokes after waiting 8-12 weeks for delivery. My crystal ball shows a lot of unhappy people replacing/repairing all this expensive technology. the minimum walkout at a car dealer repair shop for fancy high tech cars is $1,500+ - scrap the high tech nonsense and stick with the bicycle basics for a better and longer maintenance free ride experience

Nope, it's just under powered and you will be charging this a lot because of higher power output... Save your money or just keep riding the older, more less costly E-bikes for basically people living on a budget. I'm not criticizing your review but the company has lost their way in their mission statement from a few years ago. They were going to put out E-bikes that everyone could afford and use to help save money and use their cars less often. Lectric will be losing a big buyer demographic because of this move and not larger battery packs would be a good start.

@jimjr9143 2 ай бұрын

I would have to agree . What good is a really nice gearbox going to do for you if you cannot even make it back home . Group rides around where i live are lengthy 10 miles minimum and i would never make it back before the battery died . So that means I would have to pay $200 more for the larger batter . No way I’m paying $2200 and tax for 48v 14ah with no suspension .

@JeremiahMcintosh 2 ай бұрын

Unfortunately the technology in this model is expensive and any other bike with the Pinion gearbox and gates carbon belt on it would cost a minimum of $3500 so there pricing is very good compared to the competition. It’s definitely not going to fit everyone’s budget for sure but that’s why they still have the more affordable models with less technology. I think it’s great that they are offering what no other companies are.
