I bought an XPeak and rode it for the first time yesterday. Bottom line, it was great fun off-road and I think it's a real bargain . . . particularly with Lectric currently throwing in a extra battery. The foot-clearance concern raised by some people is, so far, is a non-issue for me. I never felt a wobble when crusing at 22mph . . . but I had no cargo racks or cargo. I want to carry cargo some day, so I ordered a Hellbender head dampener to hopefully solve any wobble issue. (Got this idea from Gary's Ebike Adventure YT channel.) We'll see if that works. Even if it doesn't, this bike is a keeper for me. I feel much more comfortable and relaxed on the trails being on a step-through. Don't see any advantage to the step-over version.
Thats great. Sounds like you are having a great time on your new XPeak. Foot clearance has no been an issue with me either, but I do ride on the balls of my feet so they don't stick out as much. I love it off road to, very comfortable and easy to maneuver in tight turns.
I glad you are enjoying your new XPeak. I have not had a foot clearance problem either, but I do ride on the balls of my feet. I love the XPeak off road too. Very comfortable and easy to maneuver in tight turns.
Nice video! You can unlock the bike to do 2mph at any PAS level. I put the Hellbender headset bearings on my step-thru, and it made a world of difference. I also changed my tires to an off and on-road tire. I even added an extra battery that I took off my Expedition before I sold it. I also replaced the front crank with a 52-tooth to get rid of the ghost pedaling.
Hi Lance, I was surprised by this, you had better mileage ridding at 15 mph on the other video. Great video, thank you. Lectric webpage shows 45 miles, wonder why such a difference.
I was surprised to, but after analyzing it for a bit, I believe the power output on PAS 1 with throttle only is constant since the speed is so slow and the power output on PAS 5 fluctates when you get to speed only using minimal power to maintain the speed. As for Lectric saying 45 miles, I think they are either only using data to come up with that number, or a light rider in perfect conditions.
Great video Lance 👍. I just bought mine coming next week . Will I be able to take it to work on one charge 19 miles on a step assist 3 with a half the way throttle and half the way paddle ? I do have ability to plug in for charge at work 😀
@@theridewithlance You are probably right...but this has been buried by the release of the Lectric One how bad it is to have a bike engineered and have it wobble with the racks on. Shouild have been dealt with differently by corporate at Lectric so I personally would probably never buy a Lectric because they didn't handle the failure correctly,

Sounds like you really have your XPeak dialed in now, nice.
Nice job Gary😀 You are making me want to get one of those🚴Thanks and happy Easter 🐇
Thank you, and happy Easter to you too. Have a great week.
Nice ride and helps to know your wt. and how far you can go. This is the best test ride I have ever seen anyone do. Thanks for doing this test ride.
Thanks 👍
Good ride and review lance
Thanks! 👍

Unless its uphill they whole way, I dont see any reason you would get that mileage out of it.
I mean it wobbles...so I think that is why people were commenting about the quality.
Yes, but not just about the wobble.

8 mph on PAS 1 is pretty slow. I go faster pedaling with 0 PAS. My Himiway A7 Pro goes 14-15 Mph on flat trail on throttle only PAS 1.
It is pretty slow, but their are riders who like riding slow. The A7 Pro really does look like a nice bike.
Yes, its pretty slow, but not everyone wants to ride fast. The A7 Pro really does look like a nice bike to ride.
