Lectric One: lectricebikes.sjv.io/eKXdRj
In this video, I review the all-new Lectric One electric bike by Lectric. The Lectric One is unique because it has a pinion gearbox, which allows for automatic or manual shifting, and a Gates belt drive, which requires low maintenance. Overall, I was very impressed with the Lectric One and found it to be powerful and easy to ride.

This bike definitely isnt for me, as someone that prefers a torque sensor commuter bike for getting a workout while im going to work. But, this review definitely does showcase what this bike can do to create an appeal to who would want to buy this bike. Definitely more of a higher end bike that Lectric is attempting to provide at a more friendly price. It's impressive. Not for me, but definitely appealing to someone that would want something more high end but doesn't want to spend too much when compared to other bikes with Pinion gearboxes.

@Altema22 2 ай бұрын

Excited about the transmission, and hopefully will get to try one out. I shift without thinking, but the automatic shifting sounds like I'd love it. A solid fork was a surprise, but unfortunately a thumb throttle on the wrong side was not. Current based pedal assist is the way to go, so props to Lectric for doing that. Yes, torque sensing is usually more "natural", but a good cadence system is perferrable for long distances. I've been on group rides with thousands of bikes across the east half of the country, and the guys with torque sensors are always exhausted and bringing up the rear. Wish I could put this transmission and belt on my RadMini, but keep my current motor.

Interesting bike. That Pinion Gear system looks nice. I like a IGH (Shimano or Sturmey Archer) a lot. My biggest concern is I have a Enviolo that auto shifts and I do not like it. Would need to test Ride before considering a Pinion System. When you set the power level to Zero and used the throttle it seemed like it used the highest Amps. Can you set the Max Amperage for Level Zero? Seems like you can for Level 1 - 5.

Thanks for a great and comprehensive review (as they all are). Interesting and Intriguing new technology. Surprised it doesn't come with front suspension. As nice and inviting as it appears - I'll stick with the fold-up conventional chain ebike technology in the $1,000 price range. I was hoping this would be a new entry to compete with the Ride1Up Portola as I want to upgrade my Lectric Step Thru 1.0. Having 7 Lectrics, 2 step thru's and 5 Lites, I'm leaning toward the Portola next time around.

Come on Ryan, you talked about it at 18:20, you know they are just throwing a component on the bike for the name of that component. What brand motor are they using? What brand cells? You have got a cadence sensor, 10ah battery, no-name brakes, on a frame that has a downtube sizing for a battery, but with an external mounted battery where the plate doesn't even blend into the frame. For some inexplicable reason, it's on a folding bike/miniature frame, but doesn't fold. You know better, at $2k, this review needs to be a bit more clear about where they are skimping. No one paying $2k for an ebike should use that seat post clamp, it's not even a modern rail clamp.

@EbikeEscape 2 ай бұрын

It's genuinely a better riding experience with the Pinion/Gates combo in my opinion. Of course they needed to make certain choices to hit the $2k price point and if all you care about is motor power and battery there are better (and cheaper) options out there - heck just buy a 3.0. I've never had any issues with any Lectric motor/battery, nor have I seen complaints about them. I'm not sure what the concern is there but if you have more insight I'd love to learn more. Remember Lectric is a mass appeal ebike brand, meaning like the 3.0 the bike needs to fit a large range of riders - this helps keep costs down.

@reallifescience2069 2 ай бұрын

@@EbikeEscape Yes, I'm sure the shifting experience is better with the Pinion and Gates. That's only one part of what makes up a bike or eBike. You don't cover the many sacrifices and design choices or issues, and it makes this seem like a paid ad. 1- Frame design; Folding bike size that doesn't fold. A Downtube designed for a battery, that is empty inside and a waste of space/weight. 2- Fork and Rack tubing: Very budget tubing and welds on the fork and rack. The fork belongs on a sub $1k ebike. It's not a quality rigid fork. 3- Hardware/components: Tires, Headset and stem, seat post and clamp. The are using a seat clamp only used on wal-mart/target bikes. All quality bikes use a modern rail system. Chaoyang tires on a $2k bike. 4- Brake, battery cell and more branding: Off-brand brake system and battery cells, without disclosing the manufacturer. You didn't discuss the product sacrifices they are making. The basically put the equivalent of a Porche Drivetrain in a budget Hyundai. These things are forgivable on a $1,000 bike, but just because you added one $400 component, doesn't excuse the fact that the entire supporting cast of parts are insufficient for the price-point.

@manp1039 2 ай бұрын

Interesting points! While I understand the concern about brand recognition for some parts, Lectric's focus on value is worth considering. They might be using generic components to keep the price down for budget-conscious riders, especially considering many established brands do the same. On the external battery, I agree it might not be the sleekest design, but the removable feature for charging or extending range is a big plus. Maybe the empty downtube is for future upgrades or different frame options. The folding handlebar stem, even without a full fold, is definitely a space-saver for apartments or car storage. Overall, Lectric One seems like a solid option for someone prioritizing affordability and convenience, especially with the features you mentioned in the video, Ryan (referencing the video review at 18:20 ). One thing I like about this design from what I can tell.. is they make this frame super strong which can be a plus for cargo carrying.. which I do with my commuter electric bicycle a lot.. Also, I like that they went with the 2.5" tires. I think these make be compatible with public bus bicycle racks which I believe can only accommodate tires/rims that are under 2.7 inches. This is a big deal for me.. most of their other bicycles use fat tires and rims which are 3-4 inches in width. I do still have questions about this new technology. I hope that Lectric does a tour with them .. and has a demo ride day in Los Angeles, for example.

Love the progress on the gates belt drive and shifting! Of the 5 ebikes I've purchased, or advised my parents to purchase (xpedition, xpremium, 3.0, Priority Current, and one similar to a 3.0 I'm forgetting the name of right now), they're all missing the front suspension. With the upgrades on this, it's not enough to make me upgrade. My ideal upgrade would be the frame of the new Xpress, stretched to accomodate a 2nd battery like this one and the Xpedition, gates belt drive, 750w mid-drive with torque sensing, rear cargo basket integrated into frame, and front suspension. I like elements of all the bikes, but as of now, the Xpedition and Current are my top 2.

@jaywagner3111 3 ай бұрын

Wow! Impressive! American innovation at it's best. I have been a Rad Power Bike fan for years but I have to admit that so far Rad is dead in the water. Lectric has consistently outshone Rad with improvements in their current models while introducing truly new bike experiences. Kudos to Lectric.

I kind of like their new RadWagon 5. 90Nm geared hub motor on a 20in tire, throttle, integrated lights (and the headlight is a useful 200 lumens), suspension fork (though it has a short displacement, it will dampen more than a rigid fork). They shortened it though, so it’s comparable in length to the XPedition, and has the pros and cons of that. Their Radsters are kind of heavy for their specs. At least they come with a 90 or 100Nm geared hub motor, which is a big improvement upon their prior hub motors.

When I wrote the above comment I was unaware that Rad had introduced new bikes for 2024. Having gone through their web site, I still feel that Rad is a step behind. The new arrivals do have major improvements for Rad: color display through which the rider can adjust top speed and make the bike a Class 1, 2 or 3. Good for Rad for giving the new lineup a top speed of 28 mph but there are so many less expensive bikes that have had this ability for years with displays that offer many options for adjustment including setting one's own power distribution for the various power levels. Hydraulic brakes a plus. Nice built in lighting. Nice frame design and some new colors rather than the old choices. Torque sensor on the new lineup with 8 gears and a 50 tooth chainring to reduce ghost peddling. Overall some long overdue upgrades; evolutionary but not revolutionary. Still I love my Rad City 5 Plus and it would be a better bike with the 8th gear, the larger chainring and the torque sensor. I also don't understand why Rad has not had a media blitz to announce their new lineup. I'm on their email list and I did not hear one thing. 🤔

@chow-chihuang4903 2 ай бұрын

So Lectric brings out a $2,000 bike with a powerful motor, but a wimpy battery. For $200 you can upgrade to a better, but still low Amp hour battery. For $2,000 you don't get a torque sensor. You don't get rear suspension. You don't even get front suspension. You get smaller tires so you can really feel those pot holes. You get a color display, but it's not bright enough to see in your video. What you do get is an automatic transmission. It's going to be awesome going in to your local bike shop for a transmission repair and having the guy explain that you can try to figure out how to send the bike back to the only Lectric service center in Arizona or he could just sell you a new bike. I won't be buying one. I would rather risk the Death Wobble on the XPeak.

Unless they try something drastic . Nothing will really change or be different enough to work . All there e-bikes have very small battery packs with very low cost cells. 20mph throttle and max 28mph that takes hard pedaling if you want to even come close to maintaining that 28mph top speed . Right now of the whole line up the 3.0 is where it ended for me . I do own it and do like it a lot (after they got rid of the horrible mechanical brakes) though .

What other reasons why I'd need to bring it to a bike shop? Would it be easy for a competent bike shop to replace the rear tires and put back everything together? It shouldn't cost an arm and a leg for all that right?

Nice but tell me about the throttle. My 3.0 only gives me 100% throttle in the top PAS. So if I'm peddling in PAS 1 and find myself in a jam where I want high throttle to get out of that jam, the throttle does nothing more than the PAS assist that I'm already getting from peddling. So if I want that burst of acceleration I have to increase the PAS first and those split seconds can result in my tipping over. So, on this bike, do you get full throttle assist regardless of the PAS you are in at the time?

@chow-chihuang4903 3 ай бұрын

I would prefer a suspension fork, but they probably elected for a rigid fork for price and weight. At least it uses a thru-axle. For a non-cargo ebike, and this gearbox, I’d have preferred a torque sensor as well. The current-setting system is better than a speed-setting one but it doesn’t give you as much control over motor output as a torque sensor does. Speaking of control, I’ve seen and read it mentioned you can customize the acceleration curve. Does it also allow you to modify the current settings for each PAS level or the number of PAS levels? For as torquey a motor as this uses, it would be nice to have more gradations. That said, it is an amazing price for a Pinion gearbox, even if it is a lower-end one with only six ratios.

I gave the video a thumbs up but give the bike a C-. Things I hate and will have to change on it before I even ride it. 1) the throttle on the left side. It belongs on the right side like on all motor driven cycle. I hate that move. 2) the thumb throttle will have to go to either half or full twist for safety. It is safer to have a full hand on the throttle than to us thumb only for full control. I do like the belt drive, I have been riding belt drive motorcycles for years and they are bullet proof. Some of the welds on this bike are great and others look like an apprentice did them. As for the flashing lights on the front and back I can not ride anywhere near them. They mess with my brain and when I am on a path with people with them I have to either close my eyes of stop and wait for them to get out of eyesight. It is like a moth to flame for me. shuts down my brain and draws me to it.
