@@pwhitaker I'm so sorry you and your husband went through ALS. It is THE most evil disease on the planet. I took the man I love more than anyone in the whole wide world, my Brent, off his vent on April 30. 3 years, 9 months and 9 days after dx in July 2016. My prayers and healing energy are coming your way.
We've had Lectric EP ebikes since December and they've been a blessing during the Covid-19 shelter in. We take many bike rides together. We recommend getting the Sena R1 Smart Communications bluetooth helmets. We're able to communicate with each other, listen to music and/or GPS directions. We got them from Amazon for $129 each. Enjoy and safe travels!
I've only got 50 miles on it, but will speed things up when the weather cools a bit. I can tell that the designers and engineers of the LECTRIC e-bike put a lot of thought into it. They realized early on that a 60-lb bicycle even power-assisted by an electric motor would need to have a well-integrated collaboration of human and electric propulsion. It takes only a few outings on the bike to realize the message that this hybrid bike is sending out to the rider: "Let’s work together to support your pedaling efforts to make this a uniquely fun experience." It's a ton of fun on the trails, but takes some getting the feel of it before doing so. Start out on level paved streets until you get a sense of how the bike acts.
I’ve had my white lectric xp for 1 year and before I bought I watched tons,probably all the xp videos and it was this videos of yours that made me hit that buy button.I still come back to watch this video.So much has happened in the ebike industry since then that has me looking at new ebikes,more the emoped style now, but still love my xp.
I met a man with this bike, he loves it. He said he rides all over our city in Florida. I bought an ancheer, sucked, got full refund, bike defective. One year later received refund. Now I am saving to get this bike. Loved this video, you guys enjoy and stay safe.
At 71 years, I decided I wanted a Lectric XP 2.0 Step-Thru E-Bike, Now having 43 miles, living in Michigan, My E-Bike riding is limited to acceptable weather. I also bought a Zoom Spring loaded Seat post & more Comfortable seat. I highly recommend this Bike especially for Seniors and Less Active people that do not like going to a Gym.
We will e getting our XP 2.0 s today to bad it wasn’t yesterday when it hit 50 plus degrees. We live in Ct so it’s 11/29/22 today it’s still freezing. I will be 70 soon but I couldn’t pass up the savings on the Black day sale. I read everything and decided on Lectric after watching a number of videos I no we didn’t make a mistake..
We bought 2 last June '19. The lock to get is a motorcycle lock that goes on the brake caliper. (7MM MOTORBIKE MOTORCYCLE WHEEL DISC BRAKE LOCK ALARM SECURITY ANTI THIEF 2 KEYS.) We switched to T9 cloud seats and telescoping seat post great for the but and back. Enjoy!! BobnRobin
A couple of weeks ago I ordered an Lectric XP. Great value. It includes fenders, luggage rack, and with a promo code free saddle bags. Those are all extra on most ebikes, Fantastic and friendly young entrepreneurs started the company.
Yes, I have the three wheel electric trike. It goes 20 miles on one charge. It also goes 20 mph. I like it very much! It has a huge basket in back and a medium size basket in front to carry my chiweenie.
Forgot to mention that these have cruise control! All you do is set your speed using the throttle, then push and hold the down arrow on the pad. You’ll see CRUISE Illuminati on the information panel!
Our lectric bikes just arrived yesterday, so this is a very timely video for us! The bike path is just down the street from our house. But we are looking forward to bringing them with us in our travel trailer. We always enjoy your videos.
My husband and I got the Senna helmets...love them. Makes communicating so much easier. You can even answer your phones with them. By the way, we have the same 2 bikes and love them. We fit both bikes folded in the back of our Jeep Cherokee...standing up with the back seats folded down.
you have to look for some locks called abus I had one for my motorcycle which was made of spichelt hardened steel they were so strong that they could not be cut over by a hand held angle grinder and it was not so big in circumference but ABUS has many good lock
I just clicked on your video because I bought an XP Step-Thru Lectric Bike... I never even rode one before, but I figure we only live once lol So I purchased it. I watched your video just to get a feel/experience through other people... I Love You Guys So Much!!!!! You two make people wanna meet you in person I'm sure... Because now I'm one of them!!!! Much love and rides in the sun/sunsets 💜JL
Hey we met yall at the Tampa RV show in the parking lot. I love the I dont need no stinking owners manual vibe and then realized maybe not such a bad idea to read with a lithium battery between your legs. You guys are great. I just purchased a bike from your link for my wife charity. We plan on going full time this September God willing. Hope to see you again soon. Eric and Charity.
The Lectric made my top 3, but I went with a Rize BOLT, which at $1199 has a larger battery (13ah vs. 10.4ah) and a low folding step through frame design WITH a front suspension. The difference in price to get a suspension and larger battery seemed very fair priced. I also appreciated that it used a standard format of battery called a "silverfish" which are widely available in various capacities to future proof a bit. I also bought the upgraded version at $1499 that included the huge 17ah battery, and hydraulic brakes (which I love the smoothness of). The BOLT has 20 x 2.2.5 tires, so gives up the off road option on rougher trails of fat tire bikes like the Lectric XP, but I thought I wouldn't actually miss much there traveling in my stealth van conversion, in return, the 2.25 tires would give a little less rolling resistance in city. I weigh 240#, and put 35 miles with pedal assisting about 70% of the time, just throttle 30% of the trip, and had 2 bars left on the battery indicator getting back home, flat terrain in Florida. It also includes both Cruise Control (speed stays fixed after 8 seconds of constant speed from thumb throttle, canceled by touching brakes), and also a walking mode, where you hold the "-" pedal assist button, and the bikes propels itself at walking speed if you need or want to walk it. I also liked the Ride Scoozy Fat Tire but was concerned a bit for the internal cable routing since my bike will spend the majority of time folded in my van. If a home person just traveling occasionally with it, I would have been less concerned with internal cabling. I also can't say enough about my suspension seat post for $30 from Amazon. Definitely get one of these to make up for no rear suspension. It definitely makes a difference over bumps and has made me forget about rear suspension bikes like the Fat Bear... smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XC7BB64/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 If you are the fence about an ELECTRIC BIKE, just DO IT. I'm 62, have ridden bikes all my life, but felt like a kid riding so smoothly with whatever effort I felt like contributing throughout the ride.
Ebike is the real deal as it gives you quick access within your environment especially if your work place is not too far away from your home. Nice stuff to have around you.
Donna Stucky We also got the Sena helmets to go with our Lectric bikes. We love them both! Our biggest challenge was finding a bike carrier for our tow vehicle strong enough to hold the weight of 2 ebikes.
First, thanks for playing our sons song on your channel...”Get Away”. Second, my wife and I have exactly the same Lectric bikes. Purchased them last fall after my wife did her research. We get stopped almost every time we are out on them asking what they are or where they can get them. Sometimes I feel like a Lectric sales rep! Love your channel and are GD Momentum 399TH owners from MN. Been full time now since October. Hope to see you somewhere on the road.
We picked up these exact Lectric XP bikes (same colours too) this week and absolutely love them! Looking forward to all the exploring we’ll do on our upcoming 10 day trip with our little “B-Unit” trailer!
Im 47 and have been battling depression. Let me tell you that these electric bikes are an instant mood lifter! I have a candy apple red Sohoo step thru that I bought on walmart website. I chose that model besides the Lectric XP due to the added on front end suspension shocks. Besides that this bike is an outstanding deal! I want to find folks like you to go riding with! You're making me want to take another spin by watching!
Great bikes. I have had my Lectric XP since last December when I was in Florida, and already have more than 400 miles on it. I am more than happy about it so far. Your right about reading the manual, this bike can kick your butt if your not prepared. Now I am back in Ohio in the hills and it works better.
I got one a year ago. The fat tire compact folding size is really nice. I have a fullsize mountain bike electric and several 21-speed full size bikes. Plus a tandem bike that I have had for 30 years. But the Lectric is a very good utility bike! The quality and features for the price is hard to beat. Of course a hard core cyclist would want a pricier, high tech bike. But for travel and casual use. It is a fairly good deal.
Tom, enjoy all your videos, but this one really set me and my wife up for buying a pair of those Lectric Ebikes. Great deal and got a free saddlebag for one of them. Didn't have to pay shipping or sales tax. WOW what a deal. Thanks again!
We bought ours last August. We really like them! We got one white and one black also! Our biggest problem is getting them away from the grandkids when we are in town with them! The teens think grandma and grandpa’s bike are the greatest!
Now that you’ve had the spike for a while how do you feel about it and is the battery keeping a long charge? Would like to find out a little bit more about how it is after a year
3 things - 1. Don't wear flip- flops, open toes shoes. Road rash a real possibility. 2. Get helmets asap. 3. Get bike locks. Never leave bikes unattended unless locked. 'Even a few feet away from bike is all that's needed for a thief to jump on it and go. Cable locks probably the easiest to beat. I use a cafe lock that locks the rear wheel and a folding lock with alarm. Also make sure ur homeowners insurance covers ur bikes. Liz Amazing has a vid about her bike being stolen while cable locked to the front of her RV like u do urs
Just because they’re adults doesn’t mean they won’t crash. Riding a bike without a helmet is like driving a car without seatbelts. Keep the suggestions coming.
My wife and I are RVers with a 5th wheel and have been researching e bikes. We’re contemplating Rad but saw these and your video and think we’re sold on them. Love how easy you can store in an RV. Great job on the video. J and J in Maine Thanks
Until you are used to riding with pedal assist, turn it off when make slow turn arounds. Or remember not to pedal in the turn. The PAS kicks in after a few rotations of the pedals. Can be a problem in slow tight turns.
We bought two VeeGo folding electric bike last year and took them on our camping trips. We love them and highly recommend them.They are of high quality and made to their specs. They are Imported by "Ride Scoozy" and offer a lot of options.The battery is external and easy to unlock and remove.
My husband and I bought our ebikes about 3 years ago when we bought our motorhome (they fold and are stored in the motorhome storage bay.). We have spent many hours riding and I even pull our dog behind me in a doggy cart !!
You guys on Enjoy The Journey have put out some good videos. This one on the E-Bike hits close to home. I ordered mine on Aug 4th and it is only Aug 2oth and I'm really having a hard time with the waiting for delivery process. Not much to do in the mean time but research, accessories for Bike riding. Already have purchased a Cell phone holder, a Mini Tire pump, Bike riding gloves and even got a nice helmet. The helmet came with a 3 way light on back, also includes rain visor and a Sun glare visor. You guys explained the Bike so well I feel like you I won't need to read the manual with all the explanations you gave on this video. (I will read it for safeties sake). So thank so much for a good video and will look at more of them soon. So Enjoy The Journey!!!
I have an e mountain bike, love it. It's great way to go around a campground and to discover your surroundings. I wish we had more bike lanes, it would be safer so we don't have to interact with pedestrians. For lock, check the ABUS BORDO 6000, it's an alarm-lock combo, well rated. I use TRACKIMO to track my bike (GPS), can be used to track a drone too.
i bought an ONVIAN ANTI THEFT ALARM FOR MY ETRIKE IT HAS AN ALARM THAT IS VERY LOUD IF SOMEONE MESSES WITH IT AND SHAKES IT WHILE i am in a store or buying coffee so I dont have to lock it it also has an electric horn and it works very well from amazon. This helps for fast in and out or bathroom breaks
I have two ebikes both by Opti bike from 2009. both are 800 watt bikes with 160 nm of torque. I can go around 35 miles on one charge. Both full suspension with hydrolic rotor brakes.
We camp often in Destin state parks like Henderson Beach and Topsail. Can you tell me what campground you two are in? Can't quite figure out where you are. Thanks . love all your RUclipss.
Just to let you know, other XP vids tell us that once you get the bike set up, it's best to: a) check if all nuts and bolts are tight (especially the pedals should be tight), check for misaligned fenders, and b) fully charge your battery before taking off (not crucial, just in case you take off and run out of battery. The key inserts underneath the frame's main tube spar (top/bottom tube). check out the Selle Royal Drifter sprung gel seat or the Cloud 9 (C9) seat. If you go for the Selle Drifter, choose the brown one (it's a bit softer than black).
Tom the lock is as good as you buy but definitely get a GPS tracker and hide it you can find the bike before its ever stripped down time is what saves you money
Nice drone shots!! That walk mode got me once almost fell over on my head! Natural reaction to hold the bike as it climbs a wall!! The lock situation is an old dilemma 35 lb track bike with a 50 lb lock!! Bought a used Beach cruiser at garage sale 25$, Lock and helmet 100$ Rear bike baskets ,front basket 100$ Lol I clamp a big metal basket on my XP rear rack for groceries I also turned the 20mph governor off The locks, very important to have 2 locks of different types I got a good motorcycle chain lock combo from a place in California called Harbor freight On sale 14.99 And a u lock
Just ordered one for me...waiting on delivery. Wife very short so ordered a Nakto Skylark 16" for her which arrived today. Can't wait to go RVing. In Sep will be in Destin FL area.
I purchased one for myself and my wife, There supposed to be shipped in about another week. I am very impatiently waiting. I ordered 2 Himiway bikes. One step thru frame and one regular frame. I can hardly wait!
We have 2 of the Lectric XP ebikes and we love them! Check your accessories for the bell, ours came with Bell. We got ours when they first came out and had to wait around 3 months but they were absolutely worth the wait!! If you need to for carrying more supplies or groceries you can put a milk crate on the rack and between that and the saddlebags you can carry a lot of groceries! Enjoy your ebikes, we do and we like your videos!!
That's a shame about the bell, I have so much fun with it and get laughs all the time for the little ring it does!! Lol. Might get an airhorn now!! Lol.
@@TheSunfire96 We got our bikes back in Aug so we have the little bell but we also added an air horn. Honestly the air horn is too loud and scares most walkers so we mostly use the little bell... Whoop Whoop.
We just got 2 XPs today (June 29 2020). Black and White. Rode around for about 12 miles and love them so far. Few comments: -Grips are pretty hard on the hands. -My heels keep kicking the pannier saddle bags. -Seat might need more cushion or shock absorbers. -You can get a 'free' helmet from the Byrd scooter app. -Lectric just announced a new step[through version for those interested in a lower profile. Jealous of your vacation - we are missing Florida right now (Love the Pensacola area - laid back and fun). How is the COVID situation there?
I’ve had mine awhile now and you definitely need to get better, more cushiony seats as the ones the bikes come with get painful quick. Everyone says that. Other than that I love my bike. Oh yeah get the shock absorber seat post from Lectric too. Not expensive.
Watching your video now! We got the SoHoo wide tire bikes about 2 months ago. We love them and I know you will to... A whole new level of fun! Now on with watching... :) (Dan & Dawn)
Great review.... You'll have fun taking them on the beach where they are allowed . Just watch out for the front wheel digging in in the soft sand but the hard pack is a blast....enjoy
As a reference how tall are you guys, looks like a 6’ rider has plenty of adjustments for a comfortable ride! Also, we just wanted to comment on how much we enjoyed the video. New toys show up, jump and go showing the fun associated with the RV lifestyle in a nice setting! Thanx for the relaxing video.
I have an ebike, had it for about 5 years. As I don't get on with derailleur gears, I have one with a 7 speed hub gear and toothed belt drive. It's a German made Kalkhof step-thru, called the Agattu. It's great.
I would like to get one in the future. When we go full time in a couple of years. They make helmets that you can talk to each other through then. I think I saw it on the you tube Chanel life uninterrupted.
Great video that shows how much fun the LECTRIC bikes are ! The only “knock” on this e-bike is its weight. It wold be nice if it was 10-15 lbs lighter, but then again I’d rather pay a “lighter” $899 than something headed towards the $2,000 range.
We have had ours for about 10 months now and enjoy being able to go exploring. My wife likes slow cruising on second gear, I prefer mine on 5 and hitting top speed, I've had it up to 31.8 mph going down hill.
That is the way to do it ,, i hate those long winded starts that you find on other videos of products .. people want to see thing in action straight away and get natural feedback while you are riding it .
This is something the hubby and I are definitely looking at for when we start travelling next Spring, but I was wondering about the key... is the key the same for all bikes? It would be safer if it was different for each.
@Bill J - all good advice, but I believe it comes down to affordability, and I believe the 750 watt units are the higher end bikes, which can cost many thousands of $$? Having a higher top speed would be nice too, for those times you're a long way from home, and rain is coming and a quick trip is needed. For starting out though, these might fit the bill indeed!

We will e getting our XP 2.0 s today to bad it wasn’t yesterday when it hit 50 plus degrees. We live
in Ct so it’s 11/29/22 today it’s still freezing. I will be 70 soon but I couldn’t pass up the savings
on the Black day sale. I read everything and decided on Lectric after watching a number of videos
I no we didn’t make a mistake..
We bought 2 last June '19. The lock to get is a motorcycle lock that goes on the brake caliper. (7MM MOTORBIKE MOTORCYCLE WHEEL DISC BRAKE LOCK ALARM SECURITY ANTI THIEF 2 KEYS.) We switched to T9 cloud seats and telescoping seat post great for the but and back. Enjoy!! BobnRobin
A couple of weeks ago I ordered an Lectric XP. Great value. It includes fenders, luggage rack, and with a promo code free saddle bags. Those are all extra on most ebikes, Fantastic and friendly young entrepreneurs started the company.
We have ebikes and love them! Do buy locks, and lock through the back wheel and frame. Enjoy!
Yes, I have the three wheel electric trike. It goes 20 miles on one charge. It also goes 20 mph. I like it very much! It has a huge basket in back and a medium size basket in front to carry my chiweenie.
You guys are the best advertisers of the e-bike I've seen thus far. Your fun loving footage make it a must have!!
Forgot to mention that these have cruise control! All you do is set your speed using the throttle, then push and hold the down arrow on the pad. You’ll see CRUISE Illuminati on the information panel!
Damn, I forgot all about the cruise...
How long does the battery last???
IndigoBlue about 250 meters unless it’s downhill
Wow thanks. I own 2 and never knew this lol
😲really. I have to get these for me and hubby 😍 🚴🏻♂️💨 🚴🏻♀️💨
Our lectric bikes just arrived yesterday, so this is a very timely video for us! The bike path is just down the street from our house. But we are looking forward to bringing them with us in our travel trailer. We always enjoy your videos.
Senna Bluetooth helmets are great for talking to one another. We love them. Amazon
My husband and I got the Senna helmets...love them. Makes communicating so much easier. You can even answer your phones with them. By the way, we have the same 2 bikes and love them. We fit both bikes folded in the back of our Jeep Cherokee...standing up with the back seats folded down.
I just got my Lectric XP 2.0 Long Range today. I’m really impressed with my new bike.
you have to look for some locks called abus I had one for my motorcycle which was made of spichelt hardened steel they were so strong that they could not be cut over by a hand held angle grinder and it was not so big in circumference but ABUS has many good lock
Omg ! Saw a couple in camp with a pair! Then you video came up! My wife and I ordered them ! Can’t wait! Love your videos! Been watching over a year!
Awesome! Have fun!
You were having so much fun, so I ordered each of us one through your link! :-)
Hope you enjoy it!
I just clicked on your video because I bought an XP Step-Thru Lectric Bike... I never even rode one before, but I figure we only live once lol So I purchased it. I watched your video just to get a feel/experience through other people...
I Love You Guys So Much!!!!!
You two make people wanna meet you in person I'm sure... Because now I'm one of them!!!!
Much love and rides in the sun/sunsets 💜JL
Hey we met yall at the Tampa RV show in the parking lot. I love the I dont need no stinking owners manual vibe and then realized maybe not such a bad idea to read with a lithium battery between your legs. You guys are great. I just purchased a bike from your link for my wife charity. We plan on going full time this September God willing.
Hope to see you again soon. Eric and Charity.
The Lectric made my top 3, but I went with a Rize BOLT, which at $1199 has a larger battery (13ah vs. 10.4ah) and a low folding step through frame design WITH a front suspension. The difference in price to get a suspension and larger battery seemed very fair priced. I also appreciated that it used a standard format of battery called a "silverfish" which are widely available in various capacities to future proof a bit. I also bought the upgraded version at $1499 that included the huge 17ah battery, and hydraulic brakes (which I love the smoothness of). The BOLT has 20 x 2.2.5 tires, so gives up the off road option on rougher trails of fat tire bikes like the Lectric XP, but I thought I wouldn't actually miss much there traveling in my stealth van conversion, in return, the 2.25 tires would give a little less rolling resistance in city. I weigh 240#, and put 35 miles with pedal assisting about 70% of the time, just throttle 30% of the trip, and had 2 bars left on the battery indicator getting back home, flat terrain in Florida. It also includes both Cruise Control (speed stays fixed after 8 seconds of constant speed from thumb throttle, canceled by touching brakes), and also a walking mode, where you hold the "-" pedal assist button, and the bikes propels itself at walking speed if you need or want to walk it.
I also liked the Ride Scoozy Fat Tire but was concerned a bit for the internal cable routing since my bike will spend the majority of time folded in my van. If a home person just traveling occasionally with it, I would have been less concerned with internal cabling.
I also can't say enough about my suspension seat post for $30 from Amazon. Definitely get one of these to make up for no rear suspension. It definitely makes a difference over bumps and has made me forget about rear suspension bikes like the Fat Bear...

If you are the fence about an ELECTRIC BIKE, just DO IT. I'm 62, have ridden bikes all my life, but felt like a kid riding so smoothly with whatever effort I felt like contributing throughout the ride.
Ebike is the real deal as it gives you quick access within your environment especially if your work place is not too far away from your home. Nice stuff to have around you.
I have had this bike for 7 months.. Love Love enjoy the ride.
What’s it’s top speed sir?
I’m 60 and my partner is 70....we have been thinking about buying these bikes. Thank you for the video.
We got ours last August. Love them! Get Sena bluetooth helmets, and don’t wear flip flops!
Donna Stucky We also got the Sena helmets to go with our Lectric bikes. We love them both! Our biggest challenge was finding a bike carrier for our tow vehicle strong enough to hold the weight of 2 ebikes.
I so agree!!
Which helmet did you get?
First, thanks for playing our sons song on your channel...”Get Away”. Second, my wife and I have exactly the same Lectric bikes. Purchased them last fall after my wife did her research. We get stopped almost every time we are out on them asking what they are or where they can get them. Sometimes I feel like a Lectric sales rep! Love your channel and are GD Momentum 399TH owners from MN. Been full time now since October. Hope to see you somewhere on the road.
what is the title of the music they are using on this video and who’s the artist? very nice
Tremendous bike
My husband and I will be purchasing one in the next 6 . months. Thank you
We picked up these exact Lectric XP bikes (same colours too) this week and absolutely love them! Looking forward to all the exploring we’ll do on our upcoming 10 day trip with our little “B-Unit” trailer!
The Sena R1 bike helmets are great
Great video we ordered 2 of the new lectric step thru s this week thank you two keep up the great work
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks Guys. I bought 3 Lectric Ebikes. Excellent review, love you you both.
Im 47 and have been battling depression. Let me tell you that these electric bikes are an instant mood lifter! I have a candy apple red Sohoo step thru that I bought on walmart website. I chose that model besides the Lectric XP due to the added on front end suspension shocks. Besides that this bike is an outstanding deal! I want to find folks like you to go riding with! You're making me want to take another spin by watching!
Great bikes. I have had my Lectric XP since last December when I was in Florida, and already have more than 400 miles on it. I am more than happy about it so far. Your right about reading the manual, this bike can kick your butt if your not prepared. Now I am back in Ohio in the hills and it works better.
I’m late to the party, but awesome video! I just got my XP 3.0 a few day ago and I love, love, LOVE IT! You guys rock 🙏🏾
I got one a year ago. The fat tire compact folding size is really nice. I have a fullsize mountain bike electric and several 21-speed full size bikes. Plus a tandem bike that I have had for 30 years. But the Lectric is a very good utility bike! The quality and features for the price is hard to beat.
Of course a hard core cyclist would want a pricier, high tech bike. But for travel and casual use. It is a fairly good deal.
So excited. Just got notification from fed ex that mine is being delivered on Thursday!!! I can’t freakin wait!!
wow i just ordered mine today
Tom, enjoy all your videos, but this one really set me and my wife up for buying a pair of those Lectric Ebikes. Great deal and got a free saddlebag for one of them. Didn't have to pay shipping or sales tax. WOW what a deal. Thanks again!
My aunt has a place in Destin. We used to go there when I was a kid. South of the highway you saw nothing but dunes and water. That has changed a lot.
We bought ours last August. We really like them! We got one white and one black also! Our biggest problem is getting them away from the grandkids when we are in town with them! The teens think grandma and grandpa’s bike are the greatest!
Our of our favorite purchases, we got ours about a year ago in one of the first batches. Tons of miles on ours and love them at the campgrounds.
Now that you’ve had the spike for a while how do you feel about it and is the battery keeping a long charge? Would like to find out a little bit more about how it is after a year
3 things - 1. Don't wear flip- flops, open toes shoes. Road rash a real possibility. 2. Get helmets asap. 3. Get bike locks. Never leave bikes unattended unless locked. 'Even a few feet away from bike is all that's needed for a thief to jump on it and go. Cable locks probably the easiest to beat. I use a cafe lock that locks the rear wheel and a folding lock with alarm. Also make sure ur homeowners insurance covers ur bikes. Liz Amazing has a vid about her bike being stolen while cable locked to the front of her RV like u do urs
Lighten up, they are adults having the time of their lives. God Bless them..
@@MrBrysta lighten up - so u don't give good advice to people? they provide good solid advice to the rv community and i'm happy to do the same.
Just because they’re adults doesn’t mean they won’t crash. Riding a bike without a helmet is like driving a car without seatbelts. Keep the suggestions coming.
My wife and I are RVers with a 5th wheel and have been researching e bikes. We’re contemplating Rad but saw these and your video and think we’re sold on them. Love how easy you can store in an RV. Great job on the video. J and J in Maine
Thanks
Until you are used to riding with pedal assist, turn it off when make slow turn arounds. Or remember not to pedal in the turn. The PAS kicks in after a few rotations of the pedals. Can be a problem in slow tight turns.
We bought two VeeGo folding electric bike last year and took them on our camping trips. We love them and highly recommend them.They are of high quality and made to their specs. They are Imported by "Ride Scoozy" and offer a lot of options.The battery is external and easy to unlock and remove.
My husband and I bought our ebikes about 3 years ago when we bought our motorhome (they fold and are stored in the motorhome storage bay.). We have spent many hours riding and I even pull our dog behind me in a doggy cart !!
You guys on Enjoy The Journey have put out some good videos. This one on the E-Bike hits close to home. I ordered mine on Aug 4th and it is only Aug 2oth and I'm really having a hard time with the waiting for delivery process. Not much to do in the mean time but research, accessories for Bike riding. Already have purchased a Cell phone holder, a Mini Tire pump, Bike riding gloves and even got a nice helmet. The helmet came with a 3 way light on back, also includes rain visor and a Sun glare visor. You guys explained the Bike so well I feel like you I won't need to read the manual with all the explanations you gave on this video. (I will read it for safeties sake). So thank so much for a good video and will look at more of them soon. So Enjoy The Journey!!!
I have an e mountain bike, love it. It's great way to go around a campground and to discover your surroundings. I wish we had more bike lanes, it would be safer so we don't have to interact with pedestrians. For lock, check the ABUS BORDO 6000, it's an alarm-lock combo, well rated. I use TRACKIMO to track my bike (GPS), can be used to track a drone too.
Everybody I know who has riden in bike lanes painted on side of road has been hit, I won't use them, I use the sidewalk.
Awesome Bikes definitely going to order one today,
Awesome Family and Music.
Just Ordered One and Thx For All The Info, 👊🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
i bought an ONVIAN ANTI THEFT ALARM FOR MY ETRIKE IT HAS AN ALARM THAT IS VERY LOUD IF SOMEONE MESSES WITH IT AND SHAKES IT WHILE i am in a store or buying coffee so I dont have to lock it it also has an electric horn and it works very well from amazon. This helps for fast in and out or bathroom breaks
I have two ebikes both by Opti bike from 2009. both are 800 watt bikes with 160 nm of torque. I can go around 35 miles on one charge. Both full suspension with hydrolic rotor brakes.
We camp often in Destin state parks like Henderson Beach and Topsail. Can you tell me what campground you two are in? Can't quite figure out where you are. Thanks . love all your RUclipss.
Wanted to know campground you were at in Destin..
Just to let you know, other XP vids tell us that once you get the bike set up, it's best to: a) check if all nuts and bolts are tight (especially the pedals should be tight), check for misaligned fenders, and b) fully charge your battery before taking off (not crucial, just in case you take off and run out of battery. The key inserts underneath the frame's main tube spar (top/bottom tube). check out the Selle Royal Drifter sprung gel seat or the Cloud 9 (C9) seat. If you go for the Selle Drifter, choose the brown one (it's a bit softer than black).
Just bought.an Xp step threw in black. I can’t wait for it to come in.
Tom the lock is as good as you buy but definitely get a GPS tracker and hide it you can find the bike before its ever stripped down time is what saves you money
Hi you two. Very glad to catch your video today and I really enjoyed it. Happy travels!
You guys are so much fun can't wait for my 3.0
Nice drone shots!! That walk mode got me once almost fell over on my head! Natural reaction to hold the bike as it climbs a wall!!
The lock situation is an old dilemma 35 lb track bike with a 50 lb lock!!
Bought a used Beach cruiser at garage sale 25$,
Lock and helmet 100$
Rear bike baskets ,front basket 100$
Lol
I clamp a big metal basket on my XP rear rack for groceries
I also turned the 20mph governor off
The locks, very important to have 2 locks of different types
I got a good motorcycle chain lock combo from a place in California called Harbor freight
On sale 14.99
And a u lock
We love our Lectric bikes! If you put a small piece of foam on battery it won't rattle when riding. Love your videos!!
Thanks for the tip!
That would be something my wife and I would like when we hit the road.
Now you’ve started at our house. We need these bikes!
love it works great. just the right size
Go to you tobe they have a bike lock, that will alert you when some one tapper with your bike.
Just ordered one for me...waiting on delivery. Wife very short so ordered a Nakto Skylark 16" for her which arrived today. Can't wait to go RVing. In Sep will be in Destin FL area.
I purchased one for myself and my wife, There supposed to be shipped in about another week. I am very impatiently waiting. I ordered 2 Himiway bikes. One step thru frame and one regular frame. I can hardly wait!
You guys are having Fun
Enjoy 👍🏾
We love our electric bike! These are so much fun to zip around on🤗
Lots of videos about the model. I have not seen any reviews that were negative. Seems like a solid value, especially with $100 off.
Just watched your video and ordered the same ones you got. Cant wait for my wife and I to try them out!
iv been looking at these bikes for over a year congrats
Those bikes.. Wheres the front basket? Wheres the cup holder?
That’s surprising to see such a fast bike! I bet y’all are still lovin’ them!
We have 2 of the Lectric XP ebikes and we love them! Check your accessories for the bell, ours came with Bell. We got ours when they first came out and had to wait around 3 months but they were absolutely worth the wait!! If you need to for carrying more supplies or groceries you can put a milk crate on the rack and between that and the saddlebags you can carry a lot of groceries! Enjoy your ebikes, we do and we like your videos!!
They do not come with a bell anymore...
Correct. No more bell.
That's a shame about the bell, I have so much fun with it and get laughs all the time for the little ring it does!! Lol. Might get an airhorn now!! Lol.
@@TheSunfire96 We got our bikes back in Aug so we have the little bell but we also added an air horn. Honestly the air horn is too loud and scares most walkers so we mostly use the little bell... Whoop Whoop.
@@NORITUCK that's awesome, lol. Do you get laughed at too over the bell? I thought I would put an airhorn in the cup holder I added. Just for fun.😂
We just got 2 XPs today (June 29 2020). Black and White. Rode around for about 12 miles and love them so far.
Few comments:
-Grips are pretty hard on the hands.
-My heels keep kicking the pannier saddle bags.
-Seat might need more cushion or shock absorbers.
-You can get a 'free' helmet from the Byrd scooter app.
-Lectric just announced a new step[through version for those interested in a lower profile.
Jealous of your vacation - we are missing Florida right now (Love the Pensacola area - laid back and fun). How is the COVID situation there?
I’ve had mine awhile now and you definitely need to get better, more cushiony seats as the ones the bikes come with get painful quick. Everyone says that. Other than that I love my bike. Oh yeah get the shock absorber seat post from Lectric too. Not expensive.
Watching your video now!
We got the SoHoo wide tire bikes about 2 months ago. We love them and I know you will to... A whole new level of fun!
Now on with watching... :)
(Dan & Dawn)
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Just bought (pre-ordered) 2, THANK YOU!!!
Enjoy, Johnny!
Bro I just did the same thing!! How long did they take to arrive?
Idid a lot of research and decided on a lectric bike. I love mine!
I love the drone footage along the beach watching you guys ride the bikes so cool!!!
Just hit 300 miles on my Lectric XP. LOVE IT!
You done a perfect job on this video. Top notch Quality. Keep up the great video
My wife and I just got our bikes and they are great.
Great review.... You'll have fun taking them on the beach where they are allowed . Just watch out for the front wheel digging in in the soft sand but the hard pack is a blast....enjoy
As a reference how tall are you guys, looks like a 6’ rider has plenty of adjustments for a comfortable ride! Also, we just wanted to comment on how much we enjoyed the video. New toys show up, jump and go showing the fun associated with the RV lifestyle in a nice setting! Thanx for the relaxing video.
We have two RAD Mini bikes and we love them. Folded up they both fit in the back of our Jeep JL.
I stayed up most of the night the first time I bought a washer and dryer.
Just ordered one for my husband. Will use for errands and sightseeing instead of having to use our RV hauling truck enjoyed the 'resl RV users' demo 😁
we are wanting these bikes have been researching them for a while now
I have an ebike, had it for about 5 years. As I don't get on with derailleur gears, I have one with a 7 speed hub gear and toothed belt drive. It's a German made Kalkhof step-thru, called the Agattu. It's great.
I would like to get one in the future. When we go full time in a couple of years. They make helmets that you can talk to each other through then. I think I saw it on the you tube Chanel life uninterrupted.
Great video that shows how much fun the LECTRIC bikes are ! The only “knock” on this e-bike is its weight. It wold be nice if it was 10-15 lbs lighter, but then again I’d rather pay a “lighter” $899 than something headed towards the $2,000 range.
We have had ours for about 10 months now and enjoy being able to go exploring. My wife likes slow cruising on second gear, I prefer mine on 5 and hitting top speed, I've had it up to 31.8 mph going down hill.
Not sure what the date of this video was but definitely the the semi helmets with the intercom system. Thomyt
So cool that you did eventually get the beautiful teal blue Jeep!
That is the way to do it ,, i hate those long winded starts that you find on other videos of products .. people want to see thing in action straight away and get natural feedback while you are riding it .
Use the Lectric bike lock accessory. Also use a bike alarm
This is something the hubby and I are definitely looking at for when we start travelling next Spring, but I was wondering about the key... is the key the same for all bikes? It would be safer if it was different for each.
Different for every bike.
@@EvenaGirlCanDoIt Thank you. That is good to know.
@Bill J - all good advice, but I believe it comes down to affordability, and I believe the 750 watt units are the higher end bikes, which can cost many thousands of $$? Having a higher top speed would be nice too, for those times you're a long way from home, and rain is coming and a quick trip is needed. For starting out though, these might fit the bill indeed!
As a RN... helmets. I would hate to see you guys get seriously injured.
Love your videos!!! And Destin and Ft. Walton Beach is our beach.
