Got my step-thru today. I get full leg extension comfortably. Its like a elliptical with a seat. Also nice not having a crotch puncher. Also nice being able to fold it and store it in tight living arrangements. Its shape makes the cargo package feel so sleek and copacetic. Its like a scooter combined with an elliptical with a seat.

@willc9866 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks. This helped me decide in favor of the Step-Thru version over the regular XP (for the 2.0 models just released May 2021). Given greater speed of ebikes and their tank-weight, anything that adds to safety at high or low speed is a plus. So, Step-Thru's lower center of gravity, and allowing foot on pedal to be a couple inches closer to the ground definitely more useful in dense urban street environment with frequent need to wait at lights and keep bike upright rather than tilted to one side so foot can be on the ground.

Xlnt review, thanks! Was all set to buy one XP and one Step Thru, keeping with the men’s/women’s traditional styles. However, the incompatible battery issue, no matter how infrequent it may arise, convinced me to just buy 2 Step Thru bikes. I see some others (men) did similarly. The lower center of gravity may also help on these small wheelbase bikes, and pedal ground clearance appears to work. I’ll retrain my brain as unisex bikes. These should work great for our 1st RV trip....can’t wait!

Thanks for the video. I only wished you did a turning test on the ST to see how much slant is allowed before the pedals hit the pavement. I know you mentioned to have the pedal high on the side of the turn. But, during an emergency situation, you may not have time to adjust. I also heard the crank on the ST is slightly back compared to the standard. How does this impact the pedaling and ride?

@JeremiahMcintosh 4 жыл бұрын

I don’t think an adapter would work now because the frame would’ve had to been designed differently so that the original battery would go up in further and then have an adapter. Like I said not even sure if this could have been done.

@brent6100 4 жыл бұрын

What a disappointment that they didn't design the step-thru & regular batteries to be compatible! Seems like it is totally do-able. Was that only for a profit motive? (I'll bet all owners that bought extra batteries are pissed!)

@JeremiahMcintosh 4 жыл бұрын

No I don’t believe it was for profit I honestly they had to have the frame at that angle for it that actually fold correct. On a good note at least the batteries are only $300 versus some other brands that are $5 to $550!

@JeremiahMcintosh 4 жыл бұрын

To be honest I think they had to do it that way to make it fold correctly I don’t think it was a money motive. If that’s the case they would’ve just raised the price of the bikes but they were able to keep the cost low. On a good note at least the batteries are $300 and not $550 like some other brands!

What you're saying about the the step through with lower pedal crank being better for shorter people is incorrect. If both bikes seat heights match and the step through has a lower crank then that's a longer distance and therefore better for taller folks.

@AntPorr 4 жыл бұрын

Interesting comparison. Pedal strikes and curb hopping would be my concerns. Please consider these when you take the step thru on your next ride. I lean into turns and purposefully raise the pedal on the side that I'm turning towards. Pretty sure I learned that from YT Lectric XP videos. Happy riding !!

Jeremy, thank you for another great video. With the handle bar on the Step Thru being a couple of inches higher than the regular XP while the seat is at the same lowest height, does it actually make the Step Thru easier or harder to ride than the XP for a shorter person, say 5'.tall?

@JeremiahMcintosh 4 жыл бұрын

I would say it’s easier since the pedal height and center of gravity is lower to the ground.

Great video. I have some questions for the xp 3.0 classic and step thru. I understand the batteries are not interchangeable, but are the battery chargers that came with these bikes the exact same? If they are the exact same then you could use either charger to charge either bike which would be good. And can you charge the batteries without taking them out of the bikes? And can that be done while the bikes are folded too, or would you have to take the battery out if it is folded to charge it?

@JeremiahMcintosh Жыл бұрын

Yes the chargers are the same and you can charge them in or out of the bike folded or not. There is a hole in the frame where the battery charge port is so it would be the same charging in or out of the bike.

Received my XP in July. My tires are a different brand. ChadYang Dino Skin . Gray and red lettering not the white like yours..looks nice though. By the way it does have the extra retaining clip on both sides of the rear axle

Jeremiah, very informative review. I noticed the derailer is flat out from the bike where you attached the drop-down panniers. My Lectric XP, once unboxed, had dents on each side of the front fork and the derailer is flat against the bike (and it will not budge). I am afraid to try it out if this might affect performance or be a safety hazard. Also, the battery will not come out of the case even though the holding button is all the way in. Can you tell if they shipped me a "dud" or if these issues are not safety issues. I never heard back from Levi when addressing the dents upon arrival. I would appreciate your input. I noticed you pulled a derailer out and made it look so easy. Thank you for the honest review.

If it’s a safety concern I would wait to hear back from them. Did you remove the rubber plug when trying to remove the battery? Send them photos in an email then call customer service.

@dberry5543 4 жыл бұрын

@@JeremiahMcintosh Jeremiah, I was able to get the battery out; now with battery out and seat post out the bike is significantly lighter, as I had hoped, for me to lift for transport. As you suggested, I am going to inquire directly with customer service with picture before riding to see if safety might be compromised with the derailer. Thank you for your quick response. Truly appreciate your reviews.

Great content and good info on the comparison details; couldn't come to us at a better time when I'm contemplating getting a step-thru (already have and original XP for close to a year). I think that a complete video could have also compare the bikes side-by-side in the folded position. Can you reply with comments on this? Do they occupy the same space in height, or is the S-T lower/shorter? Another question: where did you get the non-ergonomic grips on the XP? Thank you!

@JeremiahMcintosh 4 жыл бұрын

These are the grips I have. amzn.to/2DAHb4j Or you could search all the different silicon grips here. amzn.to/3gVnP8F Disclaimer. these are affiliate links and I will make a small commission at no extra cost to you if they are used.

I think I'm gonna give my Step-Thru to my mom & order the XP😛 I don't like how low the pedals are, I feel like I'm gonna hit my toes & have them pulled back under the pedals, so I have to pedal carefully🤔 which I don't like having to have my mind on my foot placement while trying to enjoy the ride.

@V0YAG3R Жыл бұрын

Haha… same! 🤣 also when going thru sidewalks in/out, corners, rough and/or uneven terrain or mild off-roading, with the step-thru I’d be always worried, which would destroy the enjoyment overall especially since we cannot compared them just by watching a video even as good as this, impossible to judge to one’s liking without riding them both 🥴

Question similar to Paul's. With lower peddles, are you likely to bottom out while turning at the same time you're peddling?

@pamkeeley5535 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you! Would it be possible to shorten the handle bar post if it’s too high or would that interfere with other functionality?

@patinacio5032 4 жыл бұрын

Great video. Good comparison. Will the 2 suspension seat posts that you have in your shopping list work on the step through? I know you said all of your accessories would work but wasn’t sure if that included the seat posts.

@JeremiahMcintosh 4 жыл бұрын

Yes they will work just make sure it says 31.6mm when ordering.

Oscar Torrez Rad Power already does. You will, however find it to be quite a bit more expensive. We got that one for my wife and I will tell you it is a nice bike. Check it out.
