Putting Lectric XP Lite eBikes To The TEST! (How It Compares)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 окт 2024
- In this episode of Wandering Wagners we debut the @LectriceBikes Lectric XP Lite! We have had the Lectric 2.0, 3.0, XPremium, and now the Lites. They all have their own benefits but in this video we try to compare them to the others we've had to help you know which one might be best suited for you. Overall we had a LOT of fun riding these bikes because they reminded us of the bikes we had when we were kids. No gearing, smaller in size and weight (46lbs) more similar to a regular bike we had when we were younger. They still have some decent power and distance capabilities but both were noticeably less than the bigger Lectric Ebikes which is to be expected. Overall we recommend these and hope you will give them a try!

![DON'T Do What We Did During A Storm! [East Harbor]](/img/1.gif)
Got my Xp light last year! 66 years old and hadn’t ridden in 50 years! I need to lift it myself and I can do it!
That's awesome! It's a pretty fun bike and an added bonus that is so light and agile
I'm only a year younger. Got my first e bike at 64. I'm getting a Lite soon. 👍
❤️
@saucyone7889 Delivered today, it'll be good. Ride safe!
Best review I have seen of this bike, you did all the real life stuff I am likely to do, very helpful in making my decision
Thank you! We really appreciate that. We try to show all the things we could think of so we appreciate the feedback
A year later... I'm getting my 2nd Lectric Lite tomorrow. I have one 4x20" Aostirmotor A20 fat tire folder, and two updated Lites. All for me, I have 70 miles in one week, on my new Lectric. They just work every time l. 100% happy.
We've always been pretty happy with all the lectrics we've owned!
We have the Lectric XP 2.0s and we love them. They are a tad on the heavy side but the battery life and the weight help us as we ride Rail-Trails. Plus they have the fenders that help keep all the mud and water off of us.
The 2.0s are great bikes!👍🏻
❤️
You are the 1st one I saw turn it off and rode it like a regular bike. Thanks for doing that I might buy this one first.
Thank you! 😊 glad you found our video helpful!
I bought the xp lite and love it. It reminds me of my BMX days but my fat butt needs pedal assist now.😂 for the price great little ebike, simple, light, fast recharge, and fits pretty much anywhere. Great Video
Thank you! We had the same thoughts about these bikes reminding us of our childhood bikes. So fun!
❤️
I just got my XP Lite about 10 days ago. So far I've logged roughly 70mi with it. I'm positive I'll hit 100mi+ by the end of October no doubt. We have pretty steep bridges here in Florida, and it seems to make it up pretty well. She gets down to about I'd say 16/17mph on some of the bridges. But she makes it up them, and going down them gets her up to about 26mph. As for off-roading, I'm still getting used to it. While I eventually plan to upgrade to the XPremium to do my deliveries with. The XP Lite will be used for primarily getting around town and what not. The one thing I have noticed is that the battery bar fluctuates quite a lot on the display screen if you use the throttle only. Which does concern me sometimes, like have I reached my limit on mileage and can I make it home on just throttle? But overall I've been able to make it home and not have any issues really.
That's amazing and impressive! We use ours for just cruising around campgrounds. The xpremium would be great for delivery because the battery and power. They are excellent bikes!
You can make the battery lasting longer by pedalling more so yeah the battery bar will fluctuate depending on how much you pedal/ what level of pedal assist and throttle used etc
Mike reminds me a little of my friend growing up that had a broken arm or leg every summer. Nice bikes. Look like a nice campground bike. Be safe guys.
Luckily he's yet to hurt himself while riding bikes😂
Thanks for riding with no power. It answered my question. I’ve been watching many review’s on this bike and no one has done this. I want one of these just for the low weight and ease of storing.
Great! Glad to help you with the no power test.. These lites are great with or without power and they are very easy to lift etc. They're our favorite overall Lectric bikes
Love the real world trail riding of the Lite to show the limitations and surprising abilities. I recently ordered a 3.0 that arrives in a few days. But considering a Lite for RV use and road travels around the campground. I think the Lite will be a good choice to add as a 2nd bike. Not planning on so many challenging trail rides in mud etc. Even the Premium seems to have issues there IMO. Just something that's not for me at 58yr old. But getting out and exploring is something I'm looking forward to doing. I want to pedal and get exercise but many of the campgrounds I visit have inclined that make my traditonal 15 speed bike difficult given my sedentary lifestyle. Trying to lose weight and get in better shape but likely will never be capable of real non-motized biking for such trails. So for me, having battery assist with either the Lite or 3.0 seems like a good choice. Value wise, the 3.0 seems better for the extra $200-$250 (more features, more powerful motor, suspension, additional accessories) but if I just get the plain Lite (Black Friday they add the fenders I think to keep off the mud) I think it will be a great light weight bike for RV and neigborhood riding. I don't live in a neighborhood but my step daughter does. The Lite wlll be easier for me to load in the car or truck to take over there and ride with the grandkids. Even though the Lite has one gear, I think it will be good for exercice and the pedal assist mode will help with the inclines on the neighborhood's roads. Their neighborhood does have a trail in the woods, but IMO it's not something good for bikes unless you are in good shape and with a bike built for off road trails. For me, their trail is challenge enough just to walk. I'll do it with no bike and be happier enjoying nature and outdoors on two legs.
The lite and 3.0 are both great bikes and they have updated the 3.0 to finally have hydraulic brakes! However if you just want to ride around with some assist and gearing isn't a necessity then the lite is great for that, especially if you need to load and unload
Waiting for my Lite to arrive…Question.Any idea of distance from seat to peddle when seat is raised to max? My knees hurt just watching the lack of full leg extension
They have all the min/max heights listed on their website. We have no issues with these are we are 5'7" and 6'2"
I like the 46 pound weight for use in and around traffic. But to be honest I try to stay as far away from traffic and busy intersections as possible.
We agree on everything you've stated.
@wonderingwagners. for a female rider, do your arms get tired holding them what seems to be perfectly straight out on the handle bars?
No my arms do not get tired with the lite. The other models are bigger and you can tell on the longer rides but the lite is a smaller frame and easy and fun to ride
@@WanderingWagners thank you!
I had a Lite last year; sold it in April. As you said, in a campground...great. Try riding anywhere with hills and your done quickly...I mean quickly. No suspension rattles the bones! No thanks.
Yeah they each have they're pros and cons. The 3.0 or xpremium might suit you better. The dual battery power is quite impressive!
got one recently - ,love - love - love it
We love the lites!
Lucky for those who invested into lectric bike and get to live where there no bike theft is great for you because you don't have to buy multiple locks because from where i live in Portland Oregon i always know that getting a lectric bike there are always alot of sketches people who wanted to steal your lectric bike that is why i hate living in Portland Oregon too many sketches people all the time and i have to buy like least 5 or 6 bike locks for my lectric bike knowing that I don't trust anyone if i going around with the lectric bike
We aren't invested and bikes get stolen everywhere, unfortunately and we are sorry to hear you have to take such precautions so yours doesn't get stolen. Pretty sad world
Wow! An ad that fits what you're showing! Guess it's that time of year to get Wagneered. ; - )
It's been wagnering all year😂 we didn't get snow☹️
I love my 3.0.and wouldn't change that. Great for campgrounds and running into town.
We love our 3.0s too! Very nice bikes and three longer range and power is nice
Looks like East Harbor was your test site? We're heading there on Friday for Mothers Day weekend.
Yep sure was!
I have the 2.0 I'm looking forward to the 4.0 in the future. I hope they offer the directional turn lights and break light on them I however love my 2.0
It is the perfect bike for the way I use it 20:37
Those would be great additions to the next revision of bikes
Hello Wagners, my wife and I have been following your channel recently and saw this video. Wanted to ask where you carry these bikes, in your rig or in your towable? Thanks!
They are carried in the back of the Jeep 99.9% of the time. If we go somewhere where we want the bikes to get around and leave the Jeep home, they can easily fit inside the RV
@@WanderingWagners Good to know, thank you!
XP Lite is very underestimated. I love mine
We love them as well!
Love the lite! Thanks for great review!!!😊
Thanks! They are very fun and we are happy with them
I've been looking at getting my son one of these and was wondering about the Lite! Due to cost of course! Thanks for the review!
Hopefully this helps your decision making process! They are pretty fun and we really like them👍🏻
Very informative, if you compare lifting xp.3 vs light, how much heavy one would feel xp.3 loading in a suv.
Thank you, Mike has no problem lifting either one into our Jeep. It's not so much the weight but the 3.0 are larger in general and a little more "awkward" but they are easily loaded up. Lynn could do it but it would take more effort
@Wandering Wagners thanks a lot for all the great info. This is very helpful. Keep up the good work.
the Lite is 20 lbs lighter than the 2.0 and 3.0
The XP Lite is the best electric bike for RVing. We have 2. They fit in the back of our Wrangler. No bike rake needed.
They are great for camping. All of the lectric bikes we've had have all fit in the back of Lynn's Jeep👍🏻
Nice review. At least we know they can take a beating! Safe travels. - Mike and Shelley
That's for sure! We don't test them gently lol
@@WanderingWagners Thats what I was thinking since I will be looking for Dom a bike!
My wife has xp lite I have 2.0 and we love um tons of fun.
Both are excellent bikes! Glad you guys enjoy them
there is a way to change the speed to 28MPH max speed by checking a lectric ebike forum. just know that it will take more juice from the battery quicker.
Yep we've done it with our other Lectric bikes, just haven't for these. 👍🏻
Could you test the spokes with a magnet to check if they are stainless steel? Lectric says they are stainless but I have trust issues after my last folder w black spokes rusted.
Thank you for the review!
We can test it in a week (we aren't by the bikes currently) but, some stainless grades can rust. Also, certain grades are magnetic as well. Not sure what grade they use but we can check later for you!
@@WanderingWagners Thank you so much! I've never run into stainless that sticks to a magnet but I have read it can be made that way. Two of my 3 bikes have stainless spokes and they are not magnetic. A magnet does stick to the 3rd bike spokes that are rusted. The rust is pretty bad. I've seen mild rusting on stainless steel, especially welds. This is much worse. I think the magnet test will confirm they are at least some grade of stainless steel.
@@WCoast_ we will test it within the next week for you!
Hello again , I just today noticed a bike The GtraxF1 looks about the same but $200 less , in your opinion is it as good as the XP Lite? Thanks ☮
We have never heard or seen that bike so we cannot speak to how it compares to the Lectric Lite. You'd have to compare the two and see which one you'd prefer
@@WanderingWagners Appreciate your input ✌
Nice job guys-thanx! 😎
Thank you! Appreciate the comment😁👏🏻
Well, someday when I get mine too, I too will ride with the Foxes. lol.
👍🏻
We have the 2.0 and love them, use them just to ride around campgrounds, the only issue we have had is the squeaky brakes, have not been able to get them to stop.
Need to upgrade to hydraulic brakes, the xpremiums have them and they are awesome!
@@WanderingWagners They sell an upgrade?
I don't think they do (they should offer it though imo) but a bike shop could probably do it
@@serinehart The website says the new version has hydraulic brakes. It doesn't ship until July though.
clean your rotors with alcohol
I have same bike and RV with it. Fun bike an beat it on MTB trails blue and green . Upgrade clud 9, seat suspension and front shock. Different bike,66 and yes do my own work! I MTB with non ebike, sore days I ebike!
Great to know with a few mods it can do some mountain bike trails! I'm not sure I could do them without falling a bunch though😂
@@WanderingWagners Also easy on and off the bike 1-up bike rack with my analog MTB.
Love this bike but seeing how much more you get in the 3.0 for just 200 bucks more, it makes this a tough sell, maybe if they drop the price to $699 it would make more since
They do run sales often but understand the thought process! It really depends on how you will use the bike and if you plan on folding it and lifting it often vs almost never so the weight difference doesn't matter. If you need to use gears and ride long distances the 3.0 is the better choice
Mike is going want cookies after this adventure.
He's always down for sweets!😂
Thanks for the video
Very welcome👍🏻
I think I'll keep my XPremium!
Xpremium is a great bike!
Yeah they look fun . What’s the price comparison too the others .
Current pricing may vary from what was mentioned in previous videos we've done obviously, but currently they're priced as follows:
Xpremium: $1,600
Step thru 3.0: $ 1,000
Step thru 2.0: $900
XP Lite: $800
They look like a much better option for a campground e bike. If you could just put baseball cards in the spokes! Nice review.
Yeah they are good for younger and older folks as well since they're lighter and easier to maneuver too. Dang, should have gotten some baseball cards!
Do you know if an XP Lite is going to come out Soon with an upgraded version??☮
That we do not know but this version is very capable!
@@WanderingWagners THANKYOU ☮
With the current blow out in November 2023 expect update Lite models. Just a guess.
@@tumbleweed1976 that's what I'm dreading .
@@glencampbell9741 Guessing front suspension for all 2024 bikes.
How tall is Mike? Would it suit a taller guy over 6’0?
He's 6'2" and fits fine
God bless
Thank you
I think he'll make it down but not up. We'll see. Nope he didn't make it up.. Lynn, is Mike going to grow up one of these days? Keep the good stuff coming guys.
I hope not! Haha kids at heart over here
How low can the seat go? My wife is short under 5 feet, and most adult bikes are not a comfortable height for her. Would love to see short video or pics of a lower seat height
This bike is smaller than their other bikes and will fit riders 4'8"-6'2" tall. The seat to ground height is 28"min to 40" max.
Thanks for the reply, like I said there are no reviews really targeting the short/beginner senior riders. My wife really hasn’t rode a bike much since she was a teenager, we are now 57 and retired enjoying life with our new camper. So biking is gonna be a big part of life and Lectric really is looking like our best choice.
@@burleymccarter3926I am 5 feet tall and 60 years old and I love my XP Lite. It’s the perfect size for me. I hadn’t really ridden since college and it didn’t take too long to get used to riding it.
QUESTION Will 2 of these fit in the back of the Jeep wrangler with the back seat folded up? Will the bigger one you had
a 2 door or 4 door?
@@WanderingWagners 2 door.
I'm not sure because we've never had the back seats in either of our jeeps. All of them fit without issues, with the back seat removed. You'd have to measure the space and see if the dimensions (listed for each bike in Lectric's website) and see if they'd fit
@@WanderingWagners Thank you. I know you take the seats out. We just haven’t done that yet. Appreciate you response. Safe travels
He'll get down but wont get back up 😂
Haha! He tired his hardest at least😂
What a cool bike 🚴 ride at camp ⛺️ grond
Thank you! It was a lot of fun putting these bikes to the test
Great video - suggest helmets
Thanks for watching!
lol..Mike trying to go up that hill.....🤣
😂😂 it was pretty funny to see him "kind of" fall for once lol
Hi! Does the xp 3 or lite fit on a bus rack?
Lectric has bike racks available on their website!👍🏻
lectricebikes.sjv.io/LP9vbj
@@WanderingWagners thank you!! I can't use those however I need to use the bus racks which are already installed. The max is 3inches and guess what. Xp lite is under 3 inches. 2.4 I believe. So it looks good.
My wife and I both have Lites and they are great, but if I could change any 1 thing it would be to give it maybe 3-4 gears. Everything else is perfect
A few gears would be nice! Overall these are pretty fun and do enjoy how light they are
Love the Lectric! We have the older 2.0. These look great! I wish you guys would stop advertising for carhartt (vaxx mandaters). At least put a sharpie X over their logo. Thanks!
The 2.0s are great! We put many miles on the 2.0s without issues😁👍🏻
Really? Vaccines were mandated through our entire childhood to go to school. Bet you had them didn't you?
That’s a great option for the older crowd.
They have a trike that's aimed at the older crowds
@@WanderingWagners I hope they send you one. 😂
I don't think it would be very good at stunting lol
@@WanderingWagners for that demographic walking is a stunt.
Thanks for the review on the bikes, be safe and please think about bike helmets. :)
Thanks for watching! These are so much fun😁🚲
@@WanderingWagners we ride dirt bikes; these would be nice to ride when dirt bike are not allowed to go. It might be our next purchase.
Yeah, these would be an easy fun ride if you're used to dirt bikes!
Love east harbor
It is a nice park, great for biking
I got one, and they are not light to pickup and get into your can and remove. I don’t think I am a weakling, but I’m not 20 like these guys appear to be!
We both think these are pretty light especially if you compare them to the other ebikes on the market which are significantly heavier and more awkward in comparison.
Lynn is late 30s and Mike is early 40s.
❤🇺🇸🎊 I love my Lectric
Same here! Love our bikes😁🚲
@@WanderingWagners I have the Lectric 1.0 folding bike the one without any shocks, and I have the Lectric cargo bike, they are so groovy and fun
Delightful
Thank you! We really appreciate the comment. It was fun testing out these bikes😁
Nice review - just missing helmets!!
Thanks for watching!
Sont need helmets.
Where is the Wraith?
It was there we just didn't show it since we were focusing on the bikes
I wanna start a petition to get an all Lynn all day 24 hour channel of nothing but uninterrupted commercial free Lynn!!!!!!
Even we don't want to watch that😂😂 but definitely appreciate the support lol
Well i for one would subscribe
I'm back 👍
Welcome back!👏🏻
@@WanderingWagners not that I really went anywhere 😋
I M THE FIRST ONE
First one, what?
@@WanderingWagners I M THE FIRST COMMENT
You weren't, but maybe next time!
@@WanderingWagners TRY AGAIN HOSS
@@WanderingWagners defrauding the old fella, huh? Take the high road, do the right thing and give him his prize.
So what is Lynn doing with you when she could have her selection of so many RUclips pervy subscribers?? Lol
Lol I don't even notice them anymore
😂 😂😂😂😂😂 now that’s funny
😂😂 glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing reviewers get them but not customers.
We haven't heard of anyone not receiving their bikes from them, sorry you had issues!
I just wanna state for the record...LYNN SOOOOOO FINE!!!!!
The record shall so reflect 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Do not order from Lectric . They take your money, say ship then Fed Ex loses two XP 3.0 . They do not care . They are not responsible for lost or stolen bikes by their chosen shipping carrier m
FedEx is the worst. We would pay extra to have it shipped any other way.
Knucklehead!
Gotta have fun!
No helmet, no brain. No brain, no helmet.
You are free to wear one if you wish👍🏻
Ill be buying one next year, or before Christmas. Saving up the money right now. $870 free shipping including tax. 🤡
That'll make a great Christmas gift!🚲
My XP Lite will be delivered today. I waited a long time to save up for one. Life is better owning 2 ebikes. Ride safe!
@Mark-qv4bn congrats!👏🏻
