1 year updates are always great. Exposes weaknesses not obvious on a new bike!
I got the BMX bar setup on both of our XPremiums. Now BMXPremiums!
I like this bike. I would like to get something like this when I retire so I could have some dependable inexpensive transportation.
I bought the XPremium on pre-order and have had it about a year. I’ve had no major issues with it but had issues getting the rear derailleur aligned. My biggest complaint is it’s size and weight. It’s so large and heavy the folding is basically useless for me. I bought it to fold and take camping but it’s a pain to do so. But, using it around the neighborhood with my kids is awesome. I’m 6’3 and 275 and it fits me well. I have a bad back and the seat and seating position are comfortable for longer rides. And I can easily stand up on the peddles and use the throttle like a giant e-scooter. The power is great and I can easily get up some steep hills here and the range is fantastic. I’ve never pushed it to see but I’ve done 15-18 miles and never used half the battery life unless im doing a lot of throttle only.
Overall, I think it’s a fantastic bike for the money. Just don’t get it if you want something small and easily portable.
Thanks for the long term update on this one. I appreciate the e bike reviews and info.
Beautiful video, thank you! It's great to see the motor running smoothly; this serves as a compelling real-life example for us. I've added it to our playlist.🥰
I'm excited for the expedition bike. That would be the one I'd buy
Lectric has an impressive line up. If I were looking for a pre-built e-bike today they would be at the top of my list. Any of them make a fine entry into e-bikes but my favorite is the XPremium. If they had been around in 2017 I might never have gone DIY.
A "learning curve"? Only if you don't ride a bicycle. If you're coming from an analog bike riding history it's intuitive. You start out in a low gear & work your way up the gears as you gain momentum. You work your way down the gears before coming to a stop or a climb. Yes you have to change gears but, IMO, that's a fair trade off for better climbing and higher top speed than you'd get from an equivalent powered hub motor.
Looking forward to the XPedition review. Another top value e-bike from Lectric.
I got mine around a year ago and have put around 850 miles on it. It's great on my long commute days (25 miles each way) the 2 batteries get me all the way to work and not very tired. I did have the sprocket and gear shifter replaced by Lectric and the chain will wear quicker than the hub motor e-bikes. Overall the bike is very comfortable to ride. I highly recommend getting the front basket attachment and saddlebags for the rear rack, they helps with grocery store runs.
Hi Kev, I originally bought the 1.0 and loved the 4inch tires and over all ride, sold it when the 2.0 came out with shocks and other upgrades, a few months later Lectric came out with the Xpremium with even more features and upgrades that I really wanted in the bike in the first place. I sunk about $500 more into my 2.0 rather than sending it back to Lectric and possibly them not refunding me on all the accessories I did like hydraulic brakes, (long range Battery) etc... So I spent about the same for 2.0 as the XPremium costs, though me and my dog manage with the 2.0 on our frequent rides until I find a used Xpremium in my area, thanks for the great review Kev... XP for the price is a great bike, no doubt
So would you recommend a Lectric to a first time eBike buyer?
Nice bike, I been keeping an eye on the Lectric XP 3.0 long range, they seem to have good reputation when it comes to Ebikes. Thanks for sharing your knowledge man.
Just ordered this bike today. My Girlfriend ordered the smaller 3.0 yesterday…
Wish us luck 🍀
So what do you think of the two different bikes?
Wow thank you for the detailed reply. It sounds like they've been pretty reliable so far. Have you had any issues with the Lectrics? For some reason I can't find your reply on RUclips, so I included it here for others.
"Doug… I think the Lectric bikes are awesome! We take them off road. Not extreme rides. We use them bike trails and around cranberry bogs, so the did can run, and get plenty of exercise. They’re very capable and well built bikes! The Grizzly, I bought on a whim. I watched a bunch of videos on it, and quite honestly I just had to see what it would be like to ride it. With that said, it’s been absolutely amazing! I want to use it to commute to work. Sometimes I take it to the bogs,and it does everything the Lectric’s do only faster! It’s been cold here in Massachusetts, but I’ve been using one or the other every Weekend. Can’t wait till spring, to use them all the time!"
@@DougPipersr Hi Doug!
I think they’re both great bikes! The suspension seems softer on the Premium, and it’s also a little taller. That works for me being 6’4” both have good range as the 3.0 has an extended life battery and the Premium has two batteries. They both do great on the off-road trails and bog roads that we ride!
Shortly after this post I also impulsively bought the Ariel Rider Grizzly. Another amazing bike! It does all the off-road things the Lectric’s do only faster. I plan to do a lot of commuting with it when the weather gets warmer.
I would highly recommend all three! For affordability… the 3.0. For height…. The Premium…. For speed…. The Grizzly! I hope this helps. Happy riding 👍
I’d love to know which one you choose.
@@DougPipersr I rewrote my reply when I realized I wasn’t comparing the Lectric’s with each other. I was comparing them to the Grizzly
@@tdhjim1 That's amazingly helpful! Thank you so much for all of your help! the Ariel Rider Grizzly looks amazing, but I think that's more bike than what wire looking for a the moment. I'll definitely let you know what we eventually buy.
I have that same trailer. Works well but my kids are getting too big for it
Yeah, it has serious potential as a serious commuter bike for cities.
I remember this little beast ,the prototype was faster than the 2nd they sent ya
3000 mi bike works great. New tires at 1500 mi. It's on clearance now.
Wow 3K miles! Would you recommend Lectric to a first time eBike buyer.
I had the exact issue with that computer display on the aventon level
Thanks for sharing
That bar under the motor is strange.
Why do you have that $1799 price popup at the beginning of this video? It is now and has been $1599 for some time!
That wasn’t a price tag, that was a card link of the original review. Thanks for pointing that out. I updates it’s title to reflect the current price
How does the trailer connect to the bike? Does it go through the hub?
Somebody know where I can buy the battery I need just the battery pleaseee brooooo
Lectric has the 2nd battery. Email them and they might have the main battery
How old is this bike? It not even on their website anymore.
The XPremium? I see it on their website as currently available
Question - Can this bike (20X4) do green trails?
thanks in advance...love your videos.
Thanks. I wouldn’t recommend it for any actual trails. It had a protruding stand for when it’s folded. Humps on an otherwise smooth trail could create a problem. Flat packed dirt paths it is fine for.
@@KevCentral Thanks!
Your information is incorrect Cannondale makes a bike that has torque control however there mid drive bikes do not have a throttle
What information is that? I don’t recall mentioning any other brands
How long does it take to recharge the batteries
4-6 hours (each)
@@KevCentral thanks for the info.
Odometer reset… just like my 2000 Volkswagen Jetta. Our worst family car ever 🎈
Kev….get away from the e-bikes and get back to the Walmart cheapies… that’s why we watch your channel!
Only 2 of the last 18 videos have been about e-bikes. 3 if you count talking about Schwinn support and battery warranty. Like it or not, e-bikes are the fastest growing segment of cycling. Ignoring that would be like investing in horse carriages after the automobile was invented. I’ll always cover both, but I can’t act like eBikes don’t exist - especially since I also ride them 😁
@@KevCentral I'm glad you're covering E-bikes Kev. I'd like to see more vids on them, but I realize you still have to cover those old-fashioned bikes too.
