I wouldn''t have thought about it being a really heavy bike, but it makes sense. Man, it goes a lot faster than I thought it would. Good to know about the turning around. I wanted one before, but after seeing this, I really want one.

Hi guys. They are awesome. They are heavy. I think around 65 pounds. If you are on pretty level area they work great without any assist. We can''t wait to take them with us on our travels. Go ahead and order it Bill won't care. lol. Thanks so much for the awesome support you give to our channel. Take care. Kent and Tami

Wow that thing will really roll! I think telling everyone to take it out of assist to turn around is such a great tip. I would never have known or probably even thought of it and would probably wipe out lol. It seems simple enough to operate. What a fun bike to have.

Terrific video! We are contemplating buying Lectric Ebikes for my wife and me and your video was very helpful. I'm not sure of what the point is of the gear shifter when you have pedal assist. Can you explain that? Do you usually shift gears when riding or do you just leave it in one gear and then rely on the pedal assist? That part confuses me. Thanks!

@ktkamping4975 2 жыл бұрын

Hey guys. We love our Lectric bikes and the new ones are even better than ours. My wife does not shift all that much. She leaves it in 4 or 5 and just uses peddle assist. I sometimes do not use peddle assist and the gears come in handy. Going up hill with peddle assist I will shift down to 2 or 3 just to make it easier to peddle. They definitely make it easier to ride to places we would have never attempted before. Thanks for watching and if you haven't already please consider subscribing to our channel.

Very Nice, I have had Lectric XP for about 9 months and we ride quite a bit as well. Although I have modified mine and added some neat little upgrades it's been great here in Round Rock Texas to get around with my wife who has a Step Thru. Its a sold bike for that $899 price. And Lectric is always good at support. Nice video and I just liked and subscribed. I hopefully one day will start vlogging on mine as well when work permits me to have the time to create videos. --chris

@davidveasey735 2 жыл бұрын

Hardly mentioned...but cruise control can be set for as low as 3,4.5 mph instead of the PAS -1 set speed of 6+ mph. Just lock-in the speed as you reach it & not wait until the bike reaches the higher speeds. [same for any speed desired] Cruise set will give your hand a rest from constantly holding down the trottle. Great if you have arthritis in the hands.

I ordered one of these recently. I keep hearing people complain about the seat, so I'm pretty curious. I'm a road cyclist and am used to spending 3+ hours riding a bike with 25mm tires at 100 psi with no suspension and a nearly unpadded seat (fizik Arione). Pretty sure this thing will feel like riding on glass. Loud glass from the looks of things. 😆
