Introducing the Lectric XPeak: Your Ultimate Off-Road Ebike for 2024
Priced at just $1,299, I truly feel the NEW Lectric XPeak is poised to dominate the off-road ebike scene in 2024, offering unparalleled performance and features.
With its eco-friendly packaging and beautiful design, the Lectric XPeak is primed to claim the title of the top fat tire off-road ebike of 2024. Despite its affordability, Lectric doesn't compromise on quality, making it a standout choice for riders looking for power for both on and off-road.
Equipped with a powerful 750watt nominal motor that peaks out over 1300watts, efficient battery, and lightweight construction, the Lectric XPeak sets a new standard for affordable off-road ebiking. Its design ensures a comfortable riding experience, perfect for tackling rugged terrain with ease.
Its 14 amp hour battery to its specialized Cadence Sensor (that feels like a Torque Sensor) the Lectric XPeak boasts a range of features designed to enhance performance and efficiency. Plus, its minimal road noise ensures a smooth and quiet ride every time.
With a strong motor, suspension fork, and mountain biking gearing ratio, the Lectric XPeak is ready for any off-road excursion. Its integrated rear light and large front headlight provide added safety, while customizable accessories allow you to tailor your ride to your preferences.
The Lectric XPeak offers a range of features for off-road riding, including hydraulic brakes, thumb throttle, and locking grips. Plus, its Class 2 classification allows for easy adjustment to a Class 3 bike, unlocking speeds of up to 28 mph when you're ready to feel like you want to fly.
Easy Assembly & Great Value: While assembly is going to be easier with a second set of hands of the use of a bike rack, the Lectric XPeak's clean cable management and intuitive dashboard make setup a breeze. With its impressive design, components, and features, it's why I think this bike will considered a standard to beat in 2024.

This is at best, a typical 26 inch flat tire rear hub Ebike that can handle some light off road. I will say it is a good value, but that wobble that so many are seeing may even take that away. But I am sorry, Lectric targeted an uninformed market and said this is the next off-road bike. Really sad as this could have been marketed and done very well for what it truly is. Just my thoughts. Very interesting that they recognized the problem with the wobble before the release.
Oh! Interesting. I didn’t know they knew about the wobble prior to the release. During the media media event a few months ago when a bunch of us tested them, I didn’t hear anyone say they felt a wobble. Also, that day no one tested any of the bikes with a load on the rack so I wonder when they found out about it and even more curious as to if it can be fixed. Lucky for me, I typically don’t ride with anything on the rack and I am thinking that me being only 5’5” tall is why I’ve not been able to make it wobble (unless I add something to the rack). You’re right, if it didn’t have the wobble problem I think the uninformed market would be totally forgiving, but being that many riders immediately added a rack to the back, the off-road target market wasn’t who may have been buying them and I can’t blame them for being disappointed. Lectric will undoubtedly bounce back, but for now the market may be have to be quickly educated by Lectric to prevent the wrong customer from buying it moving forward.
Thanks for taking the time to comment and share your thoughts!
Was a skateboarder for 20 years. Snowboarder for 10. Wobble is not a worrisome factor. Just something to consider.
"something called... the squirrelyness, or, The wobbles" 🤣 Thanks for your take on this issue and your opinion, very interesting
Sarcasm?
That is a sweet looking bike!
Death wobble on both models, although less severe on step over. Lectric knows they have a problem but continues to sell this defective bike thereby opening themselves to punitive damages when someone inevitably hurts themselves. Stay away until fixed!
I had made up my mind to get the step over, ready to order, Then I'm glad to see the problems reveiled. They CAN fix it, I guess they just don't want to admit it and take responsibility... Should they plan on a future, They need to address the problems.
Have had this bike for 2 weeks. No wobble. Also did not put baskets on… maybe that’s causing wobble for people?
11:55 thus is made for Rain Snow Sand & more
Ya you can see the frame wobbles easy.... Wonder if they will fix that?
Im a bigger dude, size and weight and would like to use one of these (step thru or step over X-Peak) for hunting and fishing maybe trail camping. I would use it also for light trail riding too. I would be in boots and utes when peddling so it may hit the fender and loading up my cargo baskets would be a big no-no due to the wobble. If I got the step thru already and want to just exchange for the step over would they exchange without a bunch of headache and cost? Just curious what you think. Thanks for the great video. I really want to like the Xpeak.
Should check out new freedom wired.
The wired Freedom has defective rear suspension linkage that causes the bike to feel like it's made out of rubber. If you try to file a warranty claim on that you would just be ignored. Stay away from wired e-bikes.@@slowmopoke
Great review. I am going to get 1. I am still just undecided between the step-over or step-thru.
I think the one is going to be a huge hit for them when people start getting their hands on it. It’s crazy powerful and the auto transmission is amazing. It’s the one bike I’m drooling for after riding it.
@@EbikeProducts I got the high stop to avoid the death wabble. I haven't riden it much yet but so far I love it.
@@widgetikiller Awesome! Congrats on your XPeak! It's really an amazing ebike for off roading. I can't wait to get out more to ride it now that the weather has been better lately. Ride safe!
Good video, Chris. Can we invite you to do a review video for our air pump? We have reached out to you.
No wobble at all for me. Basket on rear only.
Slime sucks. And by adding they preclude my adding my own No-Flat.
Wobble: Check tire pressure, maybe over pressurize 5 psi
Tires: Why the hell does everything come with knobby tires? Street tread would be nice as an option.
Yeah. I have to agree. I had flat-out ready to add in but since slime was already in there I didn’t put my own.
I think I’ll put new tubes in and add flatout. In my area, I don’t think slime is good enough and getting flats really suck.
Slime is ok for most places, but I’ve had over 6 flats in a year before I started using flat out.
The knobbies wear very quickly on pavement. They're bicycle tires, thin as paper, and flat easily. Not to mention loud. I searched for months, to find a fat tire folder with thick street tires. I couldn't find one, other than a Grizzly, which I can't afford. Easily changed later, I still love my 20 x 4 inch fat tire.
@@Mark-qv4bn i use hycline urban street tires on both of my xpeak's. it's much nicer. plus they have a white wall version that looks great on the step thru if you are unlucky enough to have one. transfer the tubes over with the slime. it's fine.
What about the wobble so many other reviewers have experienced while riding it?
There is definitely a wobble if you have something elevated on the back rack so this is not a good ebike for delivery people. I had no wobble when I rode and tested it on and off-road, even when I tried to make a wobble feel happen without anything on the rack. I am not sure about the step-over model of this ebike though. The wobble issue is pretty bad for anyone putting stuff on the rack, so that is a real bummer. I haven't tried it with a pannier bag yet, but I am thinking that may be a way to ride it with cargo.
@@EbikeProducts But if this is supposed to be a mountain bike, it should not even have a rack. unless you live int eh mountains and need to make store errands to get stuff.
I agree, it's supposed to be more for the off-road mountain bike adventurer action rider. I'm most likely going to take off the rack and fenders. It's a great cruiser ebike too due to the shorter frame that allows for more upright riding and the soft ride it gives, but I can totally see why a lot of people would want it to be a commuter and cargo bike as it has more than enough power. It really is too bad that the wobble is so bad, other wise it would be a really big hit with delivery people too for sure.
I'm confused. He says its the #1 Off Road Fat Tire ebike, yet acknowledges the wobble. Its not good for off road when it wobbles at every turn or your foot hits the tire. @@pedrofernandez8729
It’s definitely my #1 off road bike, but I don’t usually carry anything on my rack and it doesn’t wobble for me when the rack is empty. None of the other off-road e-bikes I’ve tested feel as good as the XPeak does due to the weight and how sturdy it feels.
Its not a great ride if a bag is on the rack, but I couldn’t make it wobble even when I tried when the rack was empty and had nothing but great performance and steering the whole time. My feet are only 9” long so I didn’t have the foot hit the front tire problem.
I think I’ll have to do a follow up video exclusively exclaiming why my claim is possibly only something I am able to make. I plan to remove the rack and fenders for a real off-road look sine the rack is only extra weight for me.
This looks like a great bike for cruising on gravel or flat to moderate trails, but the front wheel and pedals are too close for me. I have big feet, it’s definitely gonna be an issue. I’ll wait for the version 2, hopefully they can adjust the wheelbase and that wobble as well. I own the XP Lite and it’s great. This was supposed to be my second Lectric. But for now, I’ll wait.
Love the bike but the no way your getting 55 miles ! I ride on flat ground PAS 2 and pedal the entire way and only get 25-28 miles till dead. They should have put a 20a battery in it !
I dont believe most of these bikes get the mileage they claim. They will tell you they rated that mileage under near perfect conditions. And they still dont get what they claim. Maybe as time goes on it will improve. A couple riders told me the aventons they had got good mileage. 😮
I have the lectric 2.0 i love it...i get 16-18 miles at pas 3 with maybe 5 miles pas 2 and battery is dry.
Using both pas 2 and 3 16-18 miles total
Because they sent you one for free?
Nah, It's really one of the best ebikes I've ridden at the $1299 price point. It rides like ebikes that cost closer to $2500 that I've tested in the past. It's light, fast, powerful, and rides super smooth. I am rating it #1 for being a high performance value ebike. Sure, there are better ebikes out there, but none that I have tested that come close to this value for the ride you get. It's an ebike I would have paid for in a heartbeat after testing it in Arizona and one that I recommend to family and friends who want a great deal on a good ride for off-road or even on road cruising.
@@EbikeProducts so you didn't admit you got a free one...
Oh man! Unfortunately I totally forgot to thank Lectric in the video! No, you’re right, I didn’t mention it and it was a total mistake for not doing so. I got it over 2 weeks ago and have been rushing to get the video made due to bad weather holding up the test ride. Seriously, totally unintentional that I didn’t mention it was sent to me. I’ll have to do a second follow up video and make mention that it was sent to me for review. I’m sure my statement about it being my top pick will create a lot of controversy and questions.
@EbikeProducts At the top of each show you should divulge, in the duty of full disclosure, any compensation or in kind products or services you receive from the company. That includes commissions on sales.
Yeah, I usually start my videos thanking the company for sending the ebike for review in the intro or at the very least I do it in the closing comments. Unfortunately in my haste, I did a few takes of the intros and didn’t realize I forgot to do it in the intro I took. I’ll see if there is at least a way to add annotations to it so it shows on the screen. RUclips took that feature away, but I’ll check to see if there’s something I am unaware of to do that.
Green slime will cause tire wobble
#1 selling by price maybe, but not number one performance, value, quality, power
and you aren't getting that mileage on a 14ah. It's been tested. About 34 miles on PAS 1 and 15 on PAS 5. Very typical for that size battery.
Mmm. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Not sure I completely agree. I personally think it’s #1 on performance and value for a $1299 ebike along with the power it gives you. I’ve had $2900 high performance mountain e-bikes that didn’t feel as good as the XPeak and would choose it over the others I’ve had. Based on comments I’ve been answering though, it could be that me being only 5’5” and not having a wobble when my rack is empty (which is how I prefer to ride off-road). The overall performance for me is incredible and it’s a bike that makes me excited to even think about riding which hasn’t happened in a while. Sadly, I am sure that a lot of people may agree with you as the lack of ability to put weight on the rack will limit the versatility of this bike for a lot of those who want to commute without wearing a backpack or use it for delivery etc.
Lectric will undoubtedly adjust from this and come out with something great soon that should be more versatile in the 26” ebike size.
Yikes. That’s something I haven’t tested. It’s really hard to gauge as the level fluctuates like crazy so I’d have to ride till it totally dies to know.
@@EbikeProducts On the positive side I did see people ripping this on trails and it did well. On the negative side, way too many wobble complaints, wire management complaints, and short wheelbase causing front foot to hit the wheel. Exposed wires. I think if they charge $1200 or $200, the fact that the only way to remedy the wobble is to take off racks and fenders just proves it is a flawed bike and therefore not a value.
@@justinwhite2951 I can’t disagree with you there. It’s a big bummer paying any amount for an ebike and not being happy with what you got.
I disagree. The best Ebike as of 2024 is the Aniioki. 150 to 200 mile around $2000.
The aniioki is a really amazing bike but it’s not a great off-road bike and not a great value as an off road bike for a #1 spot in that 26” class. The Aniioki could definitely be a top contender for long range commuter or delivery bike for sure.
Should check out new freedom wired.
If you have a serious warranty claim about the frame and rear suspension linkage on a Wired Freedom bike, like I have. Mr Goldman of Wired eBikes will just ignore you. There is a you tube video that clearly shows the defect of the Wired Freedom suspension.
This bike is built for speed. Horrible programming of the controller. You cannot ride it under 15 mph even on PAS level 1 and you are always ghost pedaling and get NO exercise. On a rail trail with a speed limit of 15 mph this bike is worthless.
I’ll stick with my Juiced Ripcurrent S.
Only 12 miles on full throttle. No thanks..
No rear suspension is a no go zone...
That is definitely something that would make this ebike unbelievable, but I think the price point would have to be much higher when it comes to full suspension designs. I didn't feel like it needed it though as the fat tires and super soft front fork with my suspension seat post really made the ride super soft and smooth.
@@EbikeProducts so, did you get a free bike before reviewing it?
Yes, the bike in the video was sent to me for free by Lectric. I forgot to mention it in the video and thank Lectric for sending it. It was a huge blunder on my part, and totally unintentional. I have no hesitation or reason not letting people know it was sent to me for free. A few months back I went to Arizona to test ride the prototype models when they launched the xpeak for pre-orders. I didn’t know they’d send me one, so it was a pleasant surprise. This is one ebike I would purchase if I wanted an off-road bike since my Blackbird got stolen.
@EbikeProducts why do you think it's a good off road bike with no rear suspension or Second motor to make AWD?
A majority of the fat tire e-bikes I’ve ridden for off-road didn’t handle nearly as well as this XPeak did. Dual motors are great and so is rear suspension, but it’s not really necessary for amateur off road riding at $1299. This is ‘high performance’ for the price you pay, but it’s not expected to be a pro level at that level of value. I believe it’ll exceed most people’s expectations if compared to anything at the same price going off-road, but higher priced e-bikes can definitely outperform it as you’ll be paying for the components.
Your feet will hit the front the pedals are too close to fender. Lousy engineering. Weak frame . Danger . Stay away . I own 2 lectric products. Iam happy with but this is a looser.
