As a long time record producer and voiceover talent myself, I’d like to commend this gentleman on his excellent speaking voice. He’s got excellent pronunciation, his voice is calm and very warm. The pacing is very good. It’s pretty amazing to see how many sites there now are on KZfaq about electric bicycles. I’ve been in the electric light vehicle world sense the year 1999 and I’m really glad to see how many companies are jumping into the game. Remember the more companies enter this niche, the better the pricing will become. This particular bicycle seems to be an example of that trend, a trend which I welcome. When one reads about an electric bicycle that cost six or seven or $10,000 it’s just so incredibly annoying. Now please bear in mind that I am a pot smoking, tree hugging, hippie who missed Vietnam by about 15 minutes so I’m not interested in any kind of status attained through a vehicle, especially a bicycle. I mean, it’s a bicycle for crying out loud. And remember the most important thing is how solid is the company? If things go bad what’s their service like? one of the missing components of this industry. Now I’m saying this as an old school bike mechanic. I got into the business in the 1980s, and even now in 2022 there are so many local bike shops that have that shitty attitude, like a wow man like I don’t deal with electric bikes man…I’m a real bike rider man you know? So you get your fucking fat hippie ass out of my shop motherfucker? Oops! Did I say that out loud? I guess I did. But you know what I mean, right? It’s like there was a time when bike couriers were all attitude and flipping you the bird and all that kind of shit? So hopefully your local bike shop will get hip to the fact that the baby boomers age wave is definitely upon us and us oldsters want to get out and about - it’s great to have an electric bike when you have arthritis, heart conditions, are addicted to painkillers, drink like a fish, still can’t quite give up the cigarettes, and that syphilis you got in Saigon in 68? Bummer days, brother just can’t quite shake that itch. Anyway I digress. And now I egress……

Excellent. I have a 2.0. It's my favorite ride. The Premium looks like a limo. . At 66 I still like to boogie. Great video.

Thanks for a well designed compare and contrast. Very much appreciated!

Enjoy your open honest details of each E Bike XP 2.0 and XP Premium. Keep up the great presentation! Thanks

Very informative,I've personally found this to be extremely helpful

Your review was very helpful and informative , thank you

I went with the XPremium over the XP2.0 and I am well pleased. Those batteries really last. I find it surprising how many miles you can cover on a charge. I am 300lbs and 66 years old. I mainly ride in gears 3, 4, or 5 with the Pedal Assist in either 2, 3, or 4. Plenty fast for me. Just rode 21 miles on paved bike trails along Rio Grande River trails in Albuquerque and could have done plenty more. The battery only went down 2 bars. Plenty of leftover reserve. I take my bike out multiple times before I recharge my batteries. I only have one charger and it only takes about 4 hours to recharge a battery and then I plug in the other battery and charge it another 4 hours or so. There is a light indicator to tell you the battery is charged up full. I heard every say all these warning tips about don't start up in Pedal Assist and don't turn sharp corners while in Pedal Assist but I have no problems doing this. You just need to get familiar with you bike and how it handles first. I think the XPremium handles so smooth. And the main reason I chose XPremium was because it is so quiet while operating. While watching XP2.0 videos I always heard a whine that I didn't like but the XPremium is really quiet and it also has Cruise Control if you need it to get home in a hurry. A really nice feature.

Excellent video. Very comprehensive. Very clear. Thanks.

Thank you! Great review!

Thank you!!! Only place I’ve been able to find HOW to put in battery! I’ve watched three other KZfaq trying to find out how to put it in. My spouse (now ex) used to put battery in and get bike ready to ride, so I don’t know much about this bike. Hoping to get it out and get the battery in and ride. Thanks again

I’m new and looking at the premium. Great video for me!!! Thank you!

Great review thank you!!

Very nice presentation!

Very informative and well made video. I look forward to seeing more from you.

Thank you so much for this very detailed review. I was about to buy the Lextric 2.0 without even knowing there is an upgrade to premium.

I love your content. Thank you!

Thank you. Very helpful video

Very well presented.Thank you

Great video. I have the 1.0 and have been wondering if I should upgrade. I would recommend mentioning the IP weather ratings. I know the 1.0 is not IP rated and the 2.0 is, one of the reason I have been thinking about the upgrade.

Excellent video

great review ...thanks.

Thank you very much. This is a very helpful review! So much detail. Well done. I think I'm sold on Lectric, I just need to decide trike or not.

Just purchased 2.0 step thru today - can’t wait to take the peeps for a ride- got the pet trailer too!

Very informative

After watching many videos about Lectric and especially those of the company founders and how open and honest they were my wife and I ordered a 2.0 white for her and 2.0 black for me. They had a special deal on the Comfort model with a few extra free goodies. Later that day I talked to my older brother about one, he watched some videos and ordered a black 2.0 for himself. 😁

i have a several year old rad rover that i commuted on 5 miles each way for a couple of years. i also have an xp 1.0 (no front suspension), and while customer service with both has been great, lectric is better. had some minor shipping damage with the xp, but they helped me sort it out. so: i'm going to sell both bikes and have purchased an xpremium. i like the cargo racks on my rover, which are not an option on my xp 1.0, so i ordered the factory racks for the new bike as well. i like your recommendation on the pogo seat. i'll prolly go with that❣️👍

It helped out.i have never had an e bike. I am in the 250 lb range so need to find a bike that with my weight and wanting pedal for health reasons but would like a decent 30 mile range. And the option of having a second battery as a swappable or together to improve ridability

With a premium version, I would have hoped they upgraded the seat. The seat is one of the biggest complaints about the 2.0, with most people finding even their upgraded comfort package seat not particularly good. A lot of people like to put the Cloud9 on them.

I wish they would have added the blue frame color version to the XP premium e-bike too. I want one, and I would also purchase the dog trailer with it; this bike would be used to go bike touring/camping with. It is a benefit to have an e-bike with longer range and the electric boost capability, especially ones with mid drives (they are the best when it come to performance, use of electric energy from battery, and climbing hills) with the addition that of a longer base foundation for taller/bigger riders :). Also I wish the rear rack adapted for this frame would hold up to at least 80lbs and I would recommend the 3" tires over the current 4" ones for road gravel bike touring and I would upgrade their rear derailleur to a higher quality shimano set up, and a suspension seatpost (Suntour NCX), maybe even (if it can) upgrade to an 8 speed cassette rather than a 7-spd, and the cassette shifter to be thumb and index microshifting system. Good price for what it currently offers. However, the first batch of sold bikes and over passing time, I know lectric will upgrade their next model of this e-bike.

Interesting video but lacking a drive comparison but take me wrong I did really like your video it what well produce and informative. You are a skilled KZfaqr.

Really helpful video. I do like the Mid drive motor better and really like what Giant is producing using Yamaha Electric motors but entry level price is $ 2750.00

Question is just thought of. Maybe you can ask the guys at Lectric. I'm a big believer in charging to 80% to prolong battery life. On my current ebike, I can do this easily. I can see the battery voltage and and I know how much my charger inputs per hour. So I just use a timer. Now, you can use this method on the XP 2.0 since you are able to see the voltage. But on the XPremium, how will this work since there are 2 batteries that may have 2 very different voltage levels? Isn't the screen only set up to display voltage for one battery? How can I know the voltage of each individual battery to then be able to charge by timer?

Thanks for the review! What height of a person would be comfortable for either of these bikes?

The closest thing is the Ariel Rider C class but they do not make it anymore. Same price as the XP with a mid drive hydraulic breaks etc. The major difference is that it has an internal gear hub instead of a derailer but only a single battery.

Just got mine today, it came with a flat rear tire, I'm really impressed

Waiting for step thu lite

A lot of people wanna know how much RPM on the foot pedal to get 28mph. Can an average rider achieve that RPM? Thanks for added info.

closest price I can think of with similar range is $2299. But its very different. It has a rear drive and it's a full cargo bike. Blix Packa Genie. There are some lower quality fat tire long range e-bikes that are very slightly less

looking to replace my whole bike instead of buying another battery for the 2.0. just hit 2k mileage and my battery seems weak but I need to check again soon and research before I purchase

I hope Lectric Bike can do more to improve the battery range. They sent me a new battery, but it was the same as the battery that came with the ebike, and only gives me 10 miles round trip range. This is on PAS 3 with me peddling. They asked me not to bother them about my problem with the battery range any more. I want to start sending this message to every media outlet I can find, so more people aren’t affected. Dan Green from Carlsbad

I am planing to buy Electric but I am only 5'4. I am worried about the stem is too high for me and my hands have to raise above the shoulder to reach the steering bar when my seat is at the lowest position to accommodate my height.

I’d love to know if I should wait to buy an xpremium or get it now. The xp2.0 is now offered with 15AH battery for $1200. That’s mighty close to the 21AH in the premium. I’d pay the extra $400 for two batteries with 45% more juice on the premium. A lot of the allure for me was the double battery. Now I’m not so sure. Also who makes the mid drive motor for the premium? How is its quality?

I was the first one to pre-order the X-Premium, as I upgraded my order when the pre-order was first announced! I ordered and paid in full X-Premium black (with accessories). Waited since April, they said it will be delivered June. Waited and waited, then before June, they informed me that it will be delayed till July. Mid July came and there's still no information which is frustrating. Today, the bike came but it's a wrong color!!! They sent me white! Now, I don't know how looong will I wait again to have it replaced with the right one!!! What's happening LECTRIC???!!!

Accolmile kola bear, 750watt mid drive,48v-17.5 AH, $2263.00

Ok I'm sold ! So yup I think I'm power punch on the xp. I've been eyeing e'bikes little more now just for home to work ride the price looks nice speed sounds good I don't want anything under 20mph over yes just don't want the rocket boosters ? So now to a shop.

I am really like what I see, however a full rear suspension is superior than a suspension seat post.

Check out the Accolmile Rhino as a comparison. This ebike needs a complete review.

Hi.any recommendations for 3 ebike? Me,my wife and my daughter (12 years) I'm thinking 3 lectric diferent model xp premium and lite.thanks

for 2.0 rear hub motor without rear shock, would the motor life drop drastically if u frequently ride over bumps?

The premium does look a little long for short people.

Does anyone ride their Lectric with proper seat height? Every video and picture has the seat way too low and nowhere near full extension on the pedal stroke. Can you ride a Lectric like a normal bike or is it meant only for using the motor?

Does anyone in the North San Diego County area (Carlsbad) have one of these? would a12 mile total round trip for work be doable in this hilly area? I feel like I see a lot of these on the road.

Weights in metric: XP 2.0 - 64 pounds = 29 Kilos; XPremium- 75 pounds = 34 Kilos.

What battery the used this mid drive xpremium??

Will the 2.0 be good enough for delivery jobs like door dash

I ordered an XPremium as it checked most of the boxes I was wanting in an ebike, and at a substantially better price than anything in its class, to date anyways.

❤

What size is the Lectric XPremium seat post ?

im 6foot 5 and around 260lbs can the premium accommodate my size?

So is it not good to throttle only the xpremium?

Did you mention the tire size differnce?

I would love all these update without the mid drive on lectric XP 2.0 step through.. I don't mind pay $1,400 for it.

XP Premium is $1599 and the XP 2.0 extended range is $959 . I bought the 2.O

How many miles should I expect from the 2.0 battery?

I called them and ordered a second charger for the second battery after verifying the xpremium comes with 1 only charger.

Hello you do delivery to italy

What's the max speed

Drew from customer service is on in all fairness we`ll see what happens

YES. XPREMIUM ROCKS. A LOT FOR THE MONEY

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Is the premium waterproof?

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😍👍👍👍👍

Why does it take getting used to? - given that every cyclist knows how a mid drive (using their legs) works.

Only if you like to pedal all the time! Not for me! Sold my mid-engine 2 years ago and built a custom hub e bike!

Xp 2.0 is perfect with long range better. X premium is too big!

Premium

Some reviews say the premium comes with 2 charges, I just received mine and it came with only 1 charger. I purchased another charger,
