Using the Lectric XP Lite 2.0 is a novel expertise, thanks partly to its BMX-style handlebar—a pleasant deviation from the extra typical flat bar. I discovered this design improved dealing with and management throughout my rides.
The black rubber ergo-style grips are comfy, and on the left, you could have the PAS and menu management buttons. The brand new full-color backlit show sits within the center, displaying battery degree (although we want it was percentage-based, because the bars are too obscure), PAS degree, wattage getting used, journey and odo, and present pace.
The seat is a snug, cushioned, no-frills mannequin with a quick-release lever to simply modify the peak, providing a beneficiant 8.5 inches of adjustability. The tires are 20×2.4″ with a semi-slick commuter tread sample, offering a quiet and easy trip—a pleasant selection for a motorcycle like this.
Folding the bike is among the greatest experiences I’ve had. It’s not a brand new folding technique, however the hinge could be very easy, and the tolerances are wonderful, making it fold with little effort each time. Kudos to Lectric for this, as we don’t typically see such seamless folding.
The XP Lite 2.0 is available in 4 configurations. The usual mannequin, priced at $799, was the one I examined. For $999, you possibly can go for the long-range model, which includes a 14Ah (672Wh) battery with a claimed vary of 80 miles. In case you favor a quieter trip, the usual battery bike with a Carbon Gates belt drive is accessible for $899. Lastly, the top-tier mannequin combines the upgraded battery and the belt drive for a complete of $1099.
The motor is easy and extremely quiet, because of Lectric’s M24 Stealth know-how—no matter which means, it really works! The bike suits riders starting from 4’ 8” to six’ 2”, and at 5′ 11″, I discovered it a lot comfy even for lengthy rides.
