Is Lectric exaggerating their range claims for the XP Trike or are they being conservative? I duplicate the test conditions listed on Lectric's webpage as closely as possible and carry out a real world range test of the Lectric XP Trike. Join me as I run a full battery down to empty and determine how accurate Lectric's range claims really are. The results were quite surprising.

My trike is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. Your review has me even more eager to hit the road (I bought a trike because of health concerns). Thank you.

Excellent! And I concur on a couple of counts: 1). I also never see more than 13.7 MPH on flat ground on my trike. 2). No Slime in my tires. My first puncture was at mile 55. Cut the tube open just to be sure. Emailed Lectric customer support. They sent me two replacement tubes (not one, not three - odd) and offered to reimburse for a bottle of Slime, but I'd already put Flat Out in them. I also get great range on my tike, but have never tried to replicate their range tests. Lots of hills, crazy heat, stopping and starting. But, impressive nonetheless! Thanks for doing this!

I really appreciate your effort. This was an excellent presentation…complete with drama and excitement. Very helpful.

Luckily the drama happened near the end and didn't result in me having to repeat the test! 😅

excellent test

An outstanding test. I notice the controller has better amperage control than my XP3.0’s do. The trike I bought for my wife has a bent wheel that I’m working with Lectric to replace. Rideable though. I have fun on it but sure is weird getting of it from a ride and immediately riding my 3.0. Lastly, I was waiting for you to clip one of those posts on the bridge.

Luckily the posts look closer than they really are and the bike is narrower than it appears :)

Considering one of my intended destinations is only about 15 miles from my house this is VERY promising.

@lov2playtn 5 ай бұрын

It seems that I have to be really careful with the throttle, because the trike surges a little to quickly. It wants to take off. Is this normal?

@lov2playtn 6 ай бұрын

Awesome! Mine is on the way...

@LectricGo 5 ай бұрын

Enjoy! Hopefully they've improved the packaging as some early ones arrived with bent fenders and such.

@johnnydrumbone 11 ай бұрын

Keep in mind, battery performance is greatly affected by temperature. In cold weather range will drop.

@LectricGo 11 ай бұрын

Yup, on my winter commute I see a 30% drop in range.

How do you use Cruz control? I did know it had this feature.

Yup! Got a video on that :). Works the same on both Trike and XP 3.0 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p9Oeq9aCnM3UlIk.html

do you think El Paso is a e-bike friendly city? Have you had any problems?

@LectricGo 10 ай бұрын

No problems so far. Police seem to generally ignore bikes of all types here. The bigger issue is a lack of safe bike lanes which forces me onto sidewalks in many areas.

It sounds like you may not have unlocked it in the settings to allow for 14mph?

@@LectricGo that's my wife's three-wheeler. I have an ex premium and I bought one for our 12 year old granddaughter. But she may have switched it and doesn't even know it? But I'm going to check it you're probably right thought it was strange going 11.5 mi an hour but I really didn't have time to look at it add to get things done around our home we're supposed to get bad thunderstorms I can hear them in the distance now. Oh yeah they're coming big-time it's getting louder so they're getting closer the thunderstorms.
