Our review of the Lectric XP Lite revealed a bike that was hyperfocused on offering the lowest price possible while being fun and lightweight.
The XP Lite is a follow-up to Lectric’s ultra-popular XP 2.0. Some slimming down occurred from components and features to deliver on affordability, but the nearly 20 lbs worth of weight shaved off makes the bike sportier and more agile-handling than its older sibling.
The bike comes spec'd with a 300W motor, 374 Wh battery, 160mm rotor mechanical disc brakes, and a single-speed drivetrain.
For our XP Lite review, we put the bike through a series of tests including braking tests, hill climbing, and range tests.

E-Bike Question of the Day ⚡🚴 Would you go for the Lectric XP 2.0 or XP Lite? Let us know in the comments below 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
I bought the XP 2.0 a year ago and love it. But if I'd had the XP Lite option then, I would have chosen that. I often throw the bike in the trunk of my car, and also have to carry it up and down a flight of stairs for storage, so the lighter-weight bike would really be a better option for me.
I purchased the 2.0 last fall or myself and the Lite version for my wife this spring. I am 200 lbs and thoroughly impressed with her Lite! If I had it to do all over again I would buy myself the Lite version instead of the 2.0. I have NOTHING bad to say about the 2.0 but the weight difference when we travel with the bikes is substantial.
The lite with a bit more battery capacity would have really hit the spot, I think some buyers will start having regrets once they realize there is a lot of range anxiety.
@@pedrofernandez8729 I understand why people think range might be an issue but it's not. I rode 7 miles on the Lite in peddle assist 5 and use 2.3 volts. The exact same 7 miles on my 2.0 used 2.7 volts. My bike was 1 minute and 43 seconds faster than her Lite. Range between the two is likely a wash!
Love my XP Lite
I just scored a mint condition one for $150 on FB marketplace. I love it.
Do you want to sell it? I’ll give you 250 😂
got a white one to replace my Onewheel that's on marketplace. love it! love everything about it, i ride around with the seat lowered and just cruise it, it's perfect and super-handy. i want to add that the pedals fold (he doesn't show this), and just leave one key in the bike, switched on, and you can just turn it on and off with the button on the handlebar. can charge it this way, too, i don't even bother with the key. i have four ebikes, this little thing is my fave...
did you not like the onewheel?
@@ColwellNC1309 really liked it, just dumped it hard while carving uphill and thought, okay, i'm good, lol. i feel safer and really have just as much if not more fun.
I've had one of these for over a year now. It's great. If you're considering one, I couldn't recommend it enough. My only complaint, as noted in the video, is I wish it had some kind of latch to lock it in place when folded. But even that is a minimal concern. Totally worth the investment. Would buy again.
My husband and I have have one. We use it for cruising around the neighborhood, around the camp grounds, and on paved trails. We love the design, that it still feels and looks like riding a normal bike. The ride is still very smooth and nice even though you don’t have a suspension. Being a single speed for us doesn’t make a difference. It does everything we need it to do. It has plenty of power and is quite torquey. They are very easy to ride and maneuver. The cruise control is nice for when you are tired and want to cruise.
What’s the give away?
It’s a scam

Very good review however, your background music is awful and distracting! Would’ve been better to have no music at all. Looks like a great little bike though.
Thank you for sharing this video. Well done and great attention to detail!
Glad you enjoyed it!
loved how thorough the review was, it will definitely help me make a more informed purchasing decision
I love mine one of the best things I have ever purchased ❤
I get mine tomorrow 😊 can’t wait
Great review--getting one this coming week
great review! I will be purchasing
Great review! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great review. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome! Thanks guys.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yea❤🎉I am definitely going to be ordering this bike 🚲 after seeing this video. I am a veteran and I am always at the VA for one thing or another and being only 2.5 miles away from my home to the VA the battery life hopefully will be sufficient and then some. I do have 2 hills I'm a little worried about but I'll soon see what this bike has in store for me. Thanks for the reviews though they definitely have helped me with making my mind up.
Glad to hear it, Jason! Cheers!
I really liked this. Perfectly through. I subbed
Much appreciated!
I recently purchased the XP Lite. I am still getting used to it. But I believe it is fair to say that the stock bike seat is uncomfortable and the bike will probably significantly benefit from a suspension seat post and a more comfortable bike seat. Perhaps this is typical for bikes with this build type and more upright driving position.
I ordered the Lectric comfort package to help- but I am disappointed that I needed to do this. It wasn't a nice to have- but a requirement for a comfortable ride and avoiding injury. I let Lectric know how I felt as well.
I was reluctant to order the comfort package because of the extra weight and because the so-called "giant seat," while better than stock would not have been my first choice. I looked at a Cloud 9 Seat + Zoom suspension post as an alternative to the Comfort package- but the Zoom post is too small for me (I'm taller).
Dude great review I’m sold. My homie swears by its uncle the bigger one. But I love that it’s like a bmx size ebike. I can change the bars, and I have an ebmxbike since it’s a single speed. My next bike so cool in cream color!
Enjoy it
Excellent review
Much appreciated, James!
OK, this damn excellent review has me convinced. I'm getting an XP Lite! I DO wish the option to get a larger battery was there (like they announced for their other bikes), but I'm taking the bait.
Thanks Doug! Maybe it'll be worth sprining for the extra battery in your case.
@@ElectricBikeReport maybe,... This is a bike that can be either a commuter OR joyride vehicle. That extra battery might be a lifesaver.
@@thetds101 So what do you think about the bike did you end up purchesing?
Looks like a great starter bike and at its price I won’t even sell them when I scale up, just keep them around for visitors. Thank you!
OK, I'm sold. I'm a trucker so I need a folder. Withe the battery removed this is 2 lbs lighter than my current folding bike, so I ordered one. We'll give it a shot.
Hope you enjoy it!
Wow that is one impressive hill test! Weird PAS results on the circuit test. because, my pedal assist speeds are much different with 1 being 7mph, 2 is 11.5 mph, 3 is 13.5 mph, 4 is about 15, and 5 is about 18
Hi. Im considering the XP Lite and I enjoyed your review. On the battery only hill climb test, what was the state of the battery once you had to stop? Was the battery dead or just not strong enough to continue but once back on a flat area you could continue to use it without recharging? Did you recharge it before the pedal assist hill climb test? Thank you.
Just waiting for my XP Lite to ship!, and this video reassured me that it has enough power and comfort with some hands-on solid info. Though just going to use this as my 5mi commute, not sure a smaller bike may be suitable for longer weekend rides.
Have fun!
I just ordered one 4 days ago and hoping it will ship soon. Can't wait for it
Quick take on a short 6 mile loop today in the bike lanes and my 4 mile commute home: Smooth ride, the wider tires take away any road bumps/cracks. I could be spoiled by the throttle of the Ejoe Epik I had, the XP Lite is a bit weaker, though you can look at that as giving a smoother transition re speed. Plan on getting an inexpensive gadget to convert the half-twist throttle to thumb, easier to tap it uphill or at intersections. Had to go to PAS#3 to reach my usual 14-15mph, and PAS#4 too! (I'm a #1-2 PAS rider). Didn't like fussing around to find my average/max speed and ended up shutting the display off and losing that stat. Yes, happy having an ebike commute again (beats the bus LOL), so I am satisfied with it for that. Recommend XP Lite for those who need shorter rides for commuting, bringing on vacation, up to 30 miles maybe for nice reservation bike trails, etc.😊
samee
Thinking about getting this bike , using it for exercise and shopping price point is good , dont want to spend 3500 on the grizzly...
I have the lite in sand. Love it. Also the 2.0 step thru and I prefer the lite
i have a white lite. is the 2.0 kinda heavy or what. that's why i'm liking the lite, it's so portable.
We have 2 lites.. I am having trouble up a slight uphill in pas 3.. it should make it.. if I drop it to PAS 2 and peddle I can just make it. I would of thought PAS 3 would of got me up there just fine
That’s St. George! I recognize that street. Love that place.
Right you are! :)
I think im gonna order a couple 🤗👍🏽
Enjoy them!
please review the lectric premium mid-drive.
Hoping to get that one in soon!
Main thing I don’t like about this bike is the wires protruding out like that & the key dangles from the bottom of the bike
Can you please review the swft ebmx it’s also under $1000 🙏🏼
Do you guys have a review of the Ride1Up Core 5?
Hey I’m 6ft 230 and what’s the range on it , is it good enough too travel up 15-18 miles ride with around 15 mph too work no really big hills I’m from NJ?
I have a 30 mile round trip to work, do you think it can handle that? I can charge it at work, so I think I might be good..
how does this bike handle on a 38 mile ride and is it confortable for a 6' 1" person ?
Griffin, have you been having bike races with Sam or something? Looking fit these days.
I think the XP Lite is a great fit for people that want a small and lightweight bike that is easy to transport. Seems like it could be good for RV users and others who might load and unload the bike often or people that want to commute and take the bike inside. I just think Lectric went a step too far by eliminating the gearing on their new Lite. Sure it is $799 but compared to a XP 2.0 it already saves with smaller frame, smaller battery, smaller motor, smaller tires, no fenders, no luggage rack, and no suspension fork. Keeping the 7 speed would have been worth the extra 2 pounds imo. It is always best if you have efficient pedaling options through gearing but you need it even more with lower wattage bikes.
I'm sure the $799 price point was important to Lectric and idk if they could have included the gearing at that price. But I suspect that if they added a 7 speed option on the Lite that sold for $829 it might outsell the single speed version.
Thanks James! Lots of riding is the trick 😄 I think you have a fair point about keeping a gearing option for folks. We would be happy to see them add that as an add on option one day.
Please review the Mihogo X1
Impressed.... not the bike the the quality of the review ! You did pretty good job! Thanks!
I was looking for simpler and lighter version of folderable eBikes and this seems the perfect fit (no plan to go uphills).
For those who worry about single speed, it actually make sense for eBikes with hub motor because the motor works regardless of how hard you push.
If the bike has center-drive motor, now that is when you need gears because the motor replaced your foot power. This type of eBikes are for mountains and uphills.
We always remind people to not write-off a single speed drivetrain if the motor has meaningful PAS help across the 5 levels. In this case, it does a pretty good job!
My daughter is 6’2” tall and thin. She likes the 2.0 since she is tall, but not that it is so heavy. Any tall XP lite riders here? How do you like the lite? She is wanting the lite, but worried the lite may be awkward to ride.
It's like almost every E-bike xompany I've come across has forgot rider weight Or they've sold on other platforms besides their own they're own and they have the incorrect rider weight. Why is this such an issue in the E bike space? It's really weird.
They should have made it so the full size 9.6ah or NEW 14ah battery fits inside the frame. Hopefully they won’t make the same mistake with a step thru version of the Lite.
Nice
Thanks
i wish there was a way to disable the background music that is so distracting. good video otherwise
buying this shit now!
Have fun!
@@ElectricBikeReport will this be okay for someone that’s 6’2”?
Is it better than the jetson haze
I just started looking at folding e-bikes and this one looks great and affordable! I like that it's light.
Are there other folding e-bikes I should consider that are around this price point ($700-$1000)?
Thanks for any suggestions!
We've only tested a few that fold that are in this price range. This is the only one that has gotten a full endorsement to buy from us though.
don't bother looking, this thing is sweet and also looks great!
I'm really agonizing about this or the Aventrek 200, I'm hearing what you say about the bigger battery and I love the fact that these guys are US based I'm a bigger guy 6ft 245 lbs will this bike Carry Me? I live at the beach everything is completely flat I'm assuming you can just use throttle also if you want? Any advice would be greatly appreciated I just don't know if I can pull the trigger on $1,000 bike at this point
If it's all flat then you'd be fine with the Lite. Sincerely, the 230 lbs rider from the team :)
Did Lectric Bike Co. give you any compensation, be it in money or this unit free for your review?
We ask that brands cover our costs for the time it takes to make reviews. That payment is in no way an endorsement though - our opinions are our own and brands don't even preview the review until it's live to the public. Yes we were allowed to keep the bike for long term testing.
Has anyone taken it with them with the amtrak before? As in carry-on baggage.
Should stand for we ship when we get ready!! They don’t have them in stock
Just bought one for $244 total which includes taxes and shipping. Looking forward to seeing how it holds up!
That's a steal of a deal.
How did you do that?
I am thinking of getting this guy. Is it a good commuter bike for New Yorkers?
It's small enough that I think it should work out navigating NYC okay.
I'm 6'4 190 LBS is this bike large enought for me I live in Maine so it's all hills. I'm disabled and on a right budget. I once weight 332 LBS 12 years ago but down to 150 lbs due to health reasons I need to keep my weight down and exercise due to a form of dysautonomia I had to stop lifting weights, so cardio is what I can still do. But now the weight is creeping back in. Great review! Thank you. Brian
I'm guessing it's too small, it's the size of a standard BMX bike. At 6'4" you'd be cramped and unable to extend your legs while peddling.
@@TERRENCEJJR it's actually a great fit. I had ridden a smaller one different make that was to small but did the job. I have had this bike fitted to me I get great leg extensions. Over all I love the bike!
@@TERRENCEJJR it's funny you said BMX I rode BMX for years. RAD is the best BMX movie
@@lenscapingmaine Wow very good then.
@@TERRENCEJJR their customer service has been great! They watched this video heard it themselves and a new rear wheel is on its way. They seem like a great company. Thanks for your comment!
How tall is Griffin? I’m 6’2. Don’t want to feel silly riding one of these.
I need too know about customization of the tires and seat
Can you Test Eleglide T1?
We'll look into it!
People say the battery rattles in the frame
We purchased this Vivi 27.5” electric bike and a Tentaquil 26” electric bike for our 13 and 14 year olds. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxUiL0GnyDjP32RJdd660sP8mZk4CRLTCJ The Vivi was much easier to put together. With the Vivi, there was a video link to assist with assembly which made the process easier to follow (we did put the handlebars on upside down, but it was a quick and easy fix). With the Tentaquil, the assembly was not as simple to follow, but after we messaged the company for an assembly video, it was easier and they did respond quickly. The other major differences were that the Vivi has a grip throttle on the right handle (like a motorcycle) and the Tentaquil has a push throttle that you use your thumb to activate. The monitors were also different, so if you’re looking for something specific in terms of changing the bikes functions, pay attention to what the monitor offers. We were really impressed with the overall quality and functionality of both bikes, but if you’re looking for more power and an easier assembly, definitely go with the Vivi!
Battery range?
The key thing is a really odd situation on these and cause for the main complaint by owners.
If thats the main gripe thats good!
⚡👀⚡
How does it ride with tall people over 6ft.??
I'm 6'2" I'm telling you,no problem at all. I love it!!!
@@jeffhumphries2453 Hi, I since purchased one and totally agree with you.
What’s the maximum speed?
Should be 20mph
I really wonder just how 'useful' a single gear is. I would imagine you would have to spend most of the time just using the throttle. As with any speed, you'd be spun out with just one gear. (Or, it would be impossible to peddle without electric assist).
Tougher without PAS, but not impossible. On any single gear you can treat the PAS level as a type of gearing system if you think about it. Makes you a bit more dependent on riding with PAS, but this particular bike is lighter than most so it can be pedaled without it.
Battery range?
In the video!
Do it got a twist throttle?
Yes
Engwe c20 pro is a much better option for the price and same size. C20pro has a massive 20ah battery
It's a little more expensive and a 36v though. Could be interesting though.
Curious on your height and weight ?
6'1" 230lbs
Folded SIZE???
How fast is it?
You mention this would be great for someone shopping for kids - Just to be clear, Lectric has a disclaimer: Must be 18 years of age or older to ride.
True, they do have a disclaimer for that.
❤️🧡💛💚💙 DAAANNGGGG…… ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 ++++ 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
Is there anywhere to store the spare battery on the bike ?
I would like one but I don't know the price but I'd like to have it shipped to me it together so I don't have to put it together I'm not a problem putting bikes together but would really like one send a comment back to me and I will be glad to order
It does ship fully assembled as it is a folding bike so all you have to do is unfold and go. We do recommend a caual / safe first ride though to make sure everything is in order.
2024 electric 3.0
If you are going to have a channel with "detailed" reviews, you NEED to include the following:
1) Fit makes or breaks a bike. You need to have a short, and a tall tester, and verify if bikes will fit them (5'-0" to 6'-4").
2) Fit 2.0: How much ability is there to adjust the bike? Is the stem adjustable? How much space is there between the seat and handlebar (are you too stretched? are you too compressed?).
3) Ability to lift the bike. Especially on these folding bikes. They are useless if they are so heavy smaller/older riders can't lift them into the trunk.
4) Step over clearance. Uber important for shorter, and elderly riders (key demographics for this bike). The step over height should be called out, and because frames are different, you should have a tester will limited mobility try and step over, or mount the bike.
5) Gearing. Does the bike have enough range of gears to 'keep up' with the electric motor? For example, when going 20mph, are you 'spun out' or is there adequate gearing to pedal smoothly? Or on a steep climb (assisted and unassisted) is there enough low end gearing that you are not grinding? Etc.
Otherwise, great review.
Even you forgot rider weight
Make it in red. Bike
We'd be down for a red
This one is on the back burner.
They need to put hydraulic brakes on that bike
No fenders, no racks, at $240 more if you want extra battery power! Not a deal in my opinion! This is also a very cheap E bike it’s one step above JETSON’s and Onebot and ebikes! Personally, I’d rather have a one bought a six bar nicer, looking less expensive! This thing looks big and clunky, and really isn’t very inexpensive! If I were to order one of these in Canada, it would cost me well over $1000. Once the exchange rate is added in the shipping, the duty and the taxes! I figured this bike would cost me about $1200 or more and that’s plain Jane with no accessories! Not a deal at all in my opinion ! I got a Jetsson and Haze’s I paid $627 for in total! Personally, I love it, it cost me half the price! So I ordered two of them! And I’m satisfied with the speed! Looks far nicer than this thing does do as far as I’m concerned! electric bikes are on the low end is well it is not a high quality bike! I want a $3000 bike it would be levels above this thing! It’s just another cheap bike out on the market and not even a good looking bike! Therefore, I give it to thumbs down! 👎👎
I am wondering why this bike got such a pass on poor braking and not making the hill climb. This channel trashes one brand for poor brakes and just gives this company a pay on the back. How about we all demand with our wallets that e bikes all have a minimum of 180 hydraulic brakes? This is a light weight bike that didn’t pass YOUR test. Just be honest. Please. We need it.
Wow. Pretty harsh, and you forget people are looking for different things in a bike, including costs…
If you want one with hydraulic brakes, you can just go and buy one. You don't need to come down all the way here and trash talk about what you don't like. No one is forcing you to like this bike or to buy this one. What is wrong with you...
OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A TOTALLY BOUGHT AND PAID FOR EBIKE REVIEW! Not to mention that this ebike design is quite ugly, as far as being aesthetically, pleasing goes! That, it is not!😝👎👎
Also, there are no shock absorbers at all, the rear tail light is ugly the way it’s sticking out on some kind of a metal rod, and the cable management looks terrible as well! The bike is ugly!
