The Lectric XP Lite is a folding electric bike for people who need a lightweight and compact ebike. If you want an ebike for short riders, this could fit the bill, however it also was able to expand in size to accommodate a 6'5" rider just barely.
While the Lectric XP Lite electric bike was not the most powerful ebike I've recently tried, that's not the purpose of this machine. At the same time this electric ebike had quite a bit more pep then I was expecting with its 48v battery and controller.
My favorite "cheap" fat tire ebikes:

I just bought one of these. I'm 63 and live alone in a rural area 5 miles from town. There is no Uber or Lyft. If I have to put my car in the shop I either walk home or beg for a ride. This bike is a godsend! Fit's in the trunk of my car and is surprisingly zippy.
I love my Lectric bike. Their customer service is the best at answering any questions.
I got one yesterday and I am in love. My dad got it used for just over 200 bucks.
That's 600 dollars less than MSRP, good job!

Thank you for your super thorough review! I bought it because of you 👍🏼
Let's go! I love the fat tire foldies!
Excellent data. Thank you 🎈
Oh my god. I may have found the bike for me😭🎉 as a 4’8” individual that lives in a tiny space I needed a bike that fit, fold, and if need be lug groceries.
its extremely heavy it looks small but you wont be able to pick it up. you need to be a bodybuilder going to the gym every day to be able to lift it
@@igorberezin856I don’t think 45 pounds is “extremely heavy”
@@igorberezin856 I just tried one of these in person, they are just about the lightest folding bike you can buy, less than 50 lbs. most of these foldable are 70+ lbs. try picking up others and you won't say this one is heavy.
It’s extremely heavy if you are a small woman 5 ft 3, 115 pounds, with no guy to help me! Ugh!
You can adjust the pedal assist cadence sensor lag and strength in the settings (P11 and P12).
Great pep! Your reviews are so through!!! Thank you 🙏🏼 it definitely looks extremely easy to travel with this bike
I own an Xpedition. Very solid E-bike. Your review of this model is hella solid! Enjoyed watching you cruise on the beach 🤘🤘
Basically identical to the GoTrax F1 which is cheaper ($600) but Lecric has more accessory options and better customer service.
I just bought mine for $249 plus $10 shipping. So to be $600 less they would be paying me?
liar, theres no way you got it that cheap unless used@@UPdan
ive had gotrax products and all their batteries suck wouldnt trust them again
@@UPdan How did you get yours for $249? I got my Gotrax F1 for $549.
Go Trax is shit
Love the review! You are fast becoming my favorite ebike channel!
Thx for the review 👍🏼
thanks for watching!
That's a cool bike for couples to get matching ones and go wherever they want to explore. Maybe get 2 into a mini van or SUV
good pace to video. I get tired of narrators that are too chatty about irrelevant thing. this is spot on.
Great review
I have it, using it for a few days now & there is one big issue that people need to know & that is the position of the throttle
The ends of the handlebars are not very big, I am not a big guy, small hands & yet my hands cover some of the throttle when I grip the handlebars
Why is this an issue?
I found it the hard way - I stopped at a red light & needed to go left, so I back up while seated
Without realizing it, while backing up, i pulled down the throttle! engaging it! The bike took off, I was not prepared, fell down hard on the road! The bike fell down after moving forward a bit, fortunately there was no traffic - otherwise it might have hit someone
This is an issue - now I make sure whenever I am stopped, to not cover the throttle with my hand
I think they need to change this - maybe engage the throttle by moving it UP, not DOWN
Or in other bikes, there is a little bar that one pushes down with the thumb - that is a better way to engage the throttle
Right now I fear this is an accident waiting to happen
I own the XP Lite sandstorm and love it.
love my Xp lite there worth the money. I noticed the throttle response is smoother in PAS #1 doesn’t lag.
I do wish it had a better looking stem and a Smaller display but not a deal breaker it’s a cool Bike😎.
Good looking scooter. Thanks for the video brother 🤙🤙
I was researching E-Bikes for about a month,
1st week I was intrigued by the Mopped style, Revv1 in particular.
2nd week was the Wired Freedom, I was 100% gonna buy it!
Today , Pulled the trigger on this XP Lite in White.
Your Channel/Reviews are very helpful.
I did not use your link, but I absolutely let them know your Channel name and a Link to this review as to where I found out about Lectric Bikes.
What really sold me was the Size of the bike and the 48V battery w/ UL safety rating .
Somehow having a non UL rated battery seems very dangerous in my living room apartment.
Basically all BMX bike parts will fit this bike and the customization's are limitless .
Thanks again!😎
I ordered the 2.0. I havent recieved it yet. First Ebike...love the channel
Thanks 🙏
The pedals fold up also, which would make transporting it even easier.
This thing is FUN its very fast easy to use and it folds whats not to like?
Beautiful mission bay beach ❤️
Fantastic video, as always... I recently upgrade from a Velotric Discover 1 to the Aventon Level.2. I had a lot of issues with Velotric customer service and the bike itself that really turned me off to it and too many good things were said about Aventon so I switched over and WOW I am impressed.
The reason I mention all of that was because unbeknownst to me right at the time I ordered my bike Aventon was on the cusp of launching it's Sinch 2 folding bike and just like that I am seeing tons of folding ebike reviews.
Can the handlebar stem angle be adjusted? I'm looking at the manual and it doesn't appear so. I know you can lower the bars but can you tilt them back for shorter riders as well?
Hi great review! If the battery dies, how does this bike feel just peddling without any assist? Just wanted to make sure I can get it back to the car or home if I needed to. Thanks!
Great kid or starter bike for short person it seems.
Are fenders and luggage rack optional??
Do you think this could pull a bike trailer? I live in a coastal flat area with just one high rise bridge (65’ high at peak) to get to the beach.
Just ordered the black for $249 plus $10 shipping. Cheaper than my one speed just pedal bike. I like the mountain bike bike tires for pedaling rather than fat tire bikes which I see a lot of reviews of just throttle. That's not exercise. $249 and I can buy an extra battery to double range. Take that $800 bikes and $150 shipping.
Which bike did you get I dont see 249
Is there any brick-and-mortar store for this ebike in Florida? I might be interested in seizing an opportunity to test it out. Just a few days ago, I had the chance to test ride the M160 Foldtan, and it completely revolutionized my perception of folding ebikes.
For people who have never hade one of these they are the bag for your buck I bought one like 3 years ago an they were like 1200 Ann it still works fine…. I’m thinking they went down in price because people don’t know how good these really are seriously… I think of people knew we would so so many more of these on the streets.. another 20 miles an hour on this this is way more exciting then what you see on this video an you can go 30 with peddling 👍
They didn't exist 3 years ago. They've always been $799.
This is the XP Lite. I think you’re talking about the original XP.
Spokes don't look like they are stainless. They will eventually rust riding at the beach. My current folder has this problem. You can test this with a magnet.
Excellent observation, never considered this
@TailHappyTV Lectric says they are stainless steel, ED-coated black. I'm hoping to find someone who has the bike to verify this. Thank you for your response. Excellent review!
I think putting it in the car mean your not dedication to the bike but I can't wait to get mine
How much help, do you get from the pedal assist at level one?
When are you going to do the 3.0
Does this one have cruise control? The first Lectric mad had cruise control.
Can u use throttle only without moving pedals at all
This model has a class 3 option as well at 28 mph
An owner-operator trucker showed me how he had removed the passenger seat in his semi to make room for a folding e-bike. Probably not advisable for company drivers he said…
😆, why not just buckle it in securely?
@@TailHappyTVEasier to load and unload with his wonky lower back problems while standing on the ground without risking injury standing on the steps and slipping he told me. So out went the chair and into his den. He would of just strapped it behind the sleeper berth between truck and trailer but didn’t want to possibly mangle everything in a severe jackknife situation. Ouch.😅
How can we unlock it to go 28 mph??? Hmu with updates!
would be cool to see if the recently upgraded lectric 3.0 could make it up that parking lot hill climb
(its motor now peaks at 1000 watts)
What beach were you riding at?
Is there anything with a similar size with more range? I’m not well versed in e-bikes but the range seems a little disappointing. Am I wrong?
You are correct, the battery on this one is very small. Please browse my channel. I’ve reviewed other folding bikes, similar to this with bigger batteries, just keep in mind they do weigh more.
I ordered one last week so I can pop it in my car and take it places. My neighborhood isn't bike friendly
Very nice, how are you liking it?
Fold them pedals in when folding! Pro tip!
Does anyone have any recommendations for a folding ebike that’s roughly this weight that’s able to deal with that hill? Price isn’t a concern
Awesome bike. A few questions. How much does it weigh and how much milage it does? And what is the charging time? And how much weight can this bike handle? I'm about 180 pounds
46 pounds
Is there places to rent ebike for the day when i visit cali in august ?
Tons, I was considering doing a rental business actually 😆 where are you staying and trying to rent from?
Matt, I've lived in New York State for 40 years, so I have earned the right to be critical. When I compare NYS e-bike laws to California's, I'm shocked at how puritanical our laws are. The things I see you do in your videos would put me in jail !
Yeah Cali is cool like that, kind of a shame in Europe too, where the max is 250watt motors with no throttle allowed and 15 mph ish speed limit
Your comment made me curious, so I looked up Texas (my state) ebike laws and well....we only have 1 minor one. Lol
Ado Air seems to be a much lighter better bike. for a light weight folding bike.
take a drink every time he says 6 foot five dude :)
Across all vids or just this one 😜
Ps sorry if I over emphasized, it’s a small bike but not as tiny as I make it look
The Jetson Haze from Costco is a better value. $500 for nearly the same specs plus you get a rear shock.
I just got the Ariel Rider Grizzly 52v. Will you ever review it? I'm curious about your opinion.
I’d love to, need to find a loaner
@@TailHappyTV Would've gave you mine, if we were in the same state...haha
Lol. Fast forward speaking is cool.
I want to use this to 1-6 mile distances in a fairly hilly area. I don’t mind helping the thing a bit with pedaling but I’d be sharing the road with cars. Also don’t mind hopping off if I don’t feel comfortable around the cars. Anyone have any thoughts?
You probably want a bike with gears for hilly areas
XP 3.0 will get it done!
Can you put a basket on it
Aipas A2 750 watts only 699.
Thank you . ( 2023 / May / 08 )
Hey can you remove the jasion eb7?
I’ll see what I can do
Is it possible to upgrade the battery?
Not really
I have this bike. I don’t know how big your pockets are but it doesn’t fit in mine! It weighs 43 lbs; thats more than both my full size road bikes put together. So while I love my Lectric bike, it’s plain silly to exaggerate it’s portability.
I bought one for myself in December of 2021 couldn’t ride till spring I put 901 miles on it in 2022 . Then in 2023 I rode it for 12 miles next day it wouldn’t start up , it’s been in the the shop for more than a week I can’t recommend this brand of bike
What was the official issue with the bike?
@@ProfitXD the Electronics
@pauljb10 there was no way for them to fix it?
@@Outtasightcali yes changed out the electronics
@@pauljb10 If you don't mind me asking how much was the service?
can you install the 14,6 ah battery on this bike
technically possible wiring wise, but no space for it
@@TailHappyTV thank you.
Handle bars suck. But like it other than that.
What's up with the wobbly wheel, out of alignment/balance? I've been waiting for a manufacturer to allow the use of the best parts in the market, rather than for us to buy their economy parts. I know that's how they make their money, but how about selling the frame and let us choose the better parts. Of course, then you got the name-brands who think people are going to buy a 7k bicycle. So I get it. It just sucks though because in 8 months of daily riding I'm pretty sure this bike will be parked.
🎉
Mashallah ❤❤❤
It's a fun bike, but lectric needs to spec with quality hydraulic disk brakes. The standard brakes are garbage.
yes they are garbage. recent recall because people have been breaking bones and getting into serious life threatening accidents due to poor brakes
That's the 3.0...this is tge Lite.
I just got the xp 3.0 lectric and those hydraulic brakes are fire🔥
They should put hydraulic brakes.
no shocks
not the E bike for me but interesting....peace out
I have had this bike for a year and a half and love it. Nearly 5K miles and still going strong. I can easily go 30 miles, even with some hills, if I stay in PA 2-3. The geometry and lighter weight make it super maneuverable.

That bike needs to be upgraded more.
That is some of the sloppiest welding I’ve ever seen on a finished product. If that is welding. It could be some compound, but whatever it is the craftsmanship is shoddy.
Why on earth do you have to keep the key in the throttle? Shits annoying as hell.
no suspension and weak motor.. noty
No gears, way better
for 500$ will be good bike but not for 800$ its way too much
▪️
Typical with eBike shopping...
Unless you want a cheap jetson clown bike.
🟥
@@2NDFLB-CLERK for 900 you can get 750w motor or for 499 you can get 350w motor ebike new lol
@DENVER COLORADO
▪️
Yea, but I'm guessing good ones are few and far between.
What do you recommend ?
🟥
@@2NDFLB-CLERK well i got crew dart v1 and its strong fast bike going up hill with no problem
@@denvercolorado7980Which is way more than 899. Even the Dart 2 starts at like 1699. Not even close in price.
The motor sucks on that bike
Interesting review, but would you please wear a helmet!
Annoying to watch.
Sadly this Brand doesn't ship to switzerland.
Just get it outside of Switzerland and take it home
Yes, you could spend thousands of dollars on an eBike ruclips.net/user/postUgkxUiL0GnyDjP32RJdd660sP8mZk4CRLTCJ and get something much higher quality. However, if you're looking for a basic model to try out eBiking this is a great choice. The assembly is easy as far as bikes go (took about an hour for me to do, I'm not an expert). All tools needed are included. I added the plastic mud guards you see and a more comfortable seat. The other reviews are correct that you're probably going to want a better seat (Giddy Up! Bike Seat is what I got - super comfortable). The battery easily handles a 2-4 hour ride if you add some of your own pedal power. I haven't even gotten it up to top speed yet - it is very fast. Components are not top of the line, but decent for the price and work just fine. It works great on dirt roads and singletrack and pavement although too heavy to do tricks or any serious technical mountain biking. I'm looking forward to using it a lot over the summer. Tons of fun!
