    Wow! you got the advertised range, which is so rare these days on PEVS. Im also even more amazed that you rode the bike for over 2 hours! Man, that must have been some long editing to cut the footage down to 28 minutes. I have so much respect for what you do man. 😎👊

      Thanks! Yah I was surprised actually. At one point I was like, c’mon, you’ve gotta stop at some point lol. I expected somewhere between 22-25 tops. Didn’t think it’d go the full 30. If I did I would have put on more sunscreen lolol.

It's definitely a fun event and you really get the same experience on an ebike, just makes the hills more bearable. I didn't get any flack about the ebike and a few people were curious. Much better than not participating. I like my ebike but if I did it again I would buy a more conventional ebike with full size wheels. I haven't use the folding function yet.

    Great video. I've seen similar and slightly more mileage on mine (throttle only) but I started off a little slower, cruising at 15-16mph from the outset. When I purchased mine, Lectric was throwing in the suspension seat post and a 2nd long range battery. I couldn't "not" purchase... haha. A buddy of mine purchased his XP Lite at the same time. It does well for what it is but has the small battery. I like the range and the gearing of the XP 3.0... along with the hydraulic brakes. Those are just too nice to pass up.

I got the A2 folding bike from the company called AiPAS New York, they offer all the same functionality of the XP3 but with many extra features and the A2 is about $300.00 less. I used that extra money I saved to buy others accessories like rear carry bag, suspension seat post, and better seat. I highly suggest AiPAS New York as they are a U.S. base company and have great customer service.

Because of this, I have a power bank plugged into the camera for all rides as some of them go on for hours. Sometimes I use my Insta360 X3 for 3rd person view shots, but that’s really just for small clips.
      As for a chest mount, I use this one because it has a quick release. amzn.to/4dTrlhx (Amazon Afilliate link). The quick release comes in handy if I want to stop the ride and get some shots of something else.
