The XPress 750 rides actually properly. I rapidly appreciated the thicker saddle, tender grips, and the fork that sopped up suggestions from the highway.
The bike is available in both a high-step body just like the mannequin we examined, or a step-thru mannequin that’s a bit extra cruiser-y. The physique positioning of the excessive step is semi-aggressive, however not the kind of factor that’ll tire your again out too rapidly. It’s going to additionally match a pleasant vary of riders fairly nicely from 5’4”-6’4” (maybe a tad optimistic on the high-end, however doable).
At 6’1” I felt proper at dwelling within the saddle with good leg extension and I preferred the nimble nature of the slender handlebar. The attain was maybe a tad brief for my preferences, however simple sufficient to reside with.
The dealing with feels good. The XPress is fairly gentle so far as commuter e-bikes go, and it manuevers by corners or round site visitors fairly nicely. I used to be notably impressed with how tight every little thing felt at sooner speeds the place some bikes have noticeable vibration all through the body. That’s not the case right here although.
High quality is a tough factor to place into phrases generally, however in a basic sense the journey was as nice-feeling as many higher-priced counterparts. The low price ticket doesn’t end in a poor high quality really feel. The value is saved low with restricted body sizes and colours to select from, however they didn’t reduce corners within the building or design from what I can really feel.
In lots of methods, you’re getting a ton of e-bike in your cash. I believe the one two issues I’m unhappy weren’t included had been fenders and a rear rack. They might full the commuter ensemble, however I’ll grant that many individuals would possibly merely need an e-bike just like the XPress for joyrides in good situations, so together with them and upping the price might not have been price it for Lectric.
It was only a few years in the past that the considered a commuter at this worth with hydraulic brakes, a entrance suspension fork, 750W motor and a torque sensor had been almost exceptional, so by way of the bang-for-your-buck issue, the XPress scores fairly extremely on this regard.
