In this video I test the riding range of the Lectric XP 3.0 Long Range Edition in the Tempe, Phoenix, and Scottsdale areas of Arizona. I spend ~60% of my time in PAS level 3 and the remainder in PAS 2. Overall I'm very happy with the performance of the Lectric XP 3.0 and believe it offers a tremendous amount of value for the price. Another bonus with this bike is that it's foldable, making it ultra portable and a companion on road trips.

I just finished another mileage check with my xp3.0 long range. This time I went 47 miles on a full charge. I weigh 220lbs and stayed in pas 2 about 85% of the time pas 1 about 15% of the time. Mostly flat terrain. Just a bit of subtle climbing here and there. Overall I’m pretty impressed with the long range battery. No way I’d want to pedal that far home like you did without pas! 😂 I’m too old for that kind of a workout!
Nice, 47 miles is excellent! Yah the long range battery is definitely nice to have. Fewer charges, more worry free long rides. Haha the bike back with no pedal assist was definitely not as exciting as having power assist 🤣
Its nice to see an American who is actually peddling an e bike rather than going full speed trying to go as fast as possible. Nice video.
Thanks! I prefer to enjoy the scenery when out on a bike ride haha.
Very informative, beautiful scenery I am amazed how beautiful it is there
Thank you! Yah the desert is surprisingly beautiful. It's hard to enjoy during the 4-5 months of summer but once mid October hits, it's hard to justify staying indoors anymore haha.
I live in far northwestern Arizona, over 20 years now. It's a wonderful place.
Thanks for taking me on the ride.
I just got an extended range XP 3.0 and only got 25 miles on PAS 3. I weigh 190 and mostly flat land. One thing nobody is talking about is that once battery is less than 50% charged (47 volts or less), you lose at least 30 to 40% of power. Range estimates on Lectrics site is dramatically over inflated.
Yah that’s about 10 miles shorter than advertised. They say they tested with ~180lb total payload, but 10lbs won’t answer for all the 10 mile shortfall. Did you have lots of stop and go? You can adjust the sensitivity of the pedal assist. If you reduce it, you’ll do a little more work getting the bike going from a stop but it will help with range. Less power needed to get going.
Did you get the deal with the extra battery?
Just did my endurance test only got 33 miles I weigh 210, some hills but im super disappointed in the mileage
Edit; I stayed between pas 1 to 3 depending on the hills in front of me, even downshifting like a pro, as I use to ride BMX when I was younger and regular mountain bikes thru my late 20s to mid 30s. Also I received my bike with a flat front tube, no owners manual, nor the second battery I paid for
Edit 2 my seat dropped 3 times once on a steep downhill gravel road almost causing a wipe out, its great for local little runs but what I bought it for isn't realistic because they lie about the battery capabilities
Awesome test on the range .. I'm convinced now to purchase an lectric bike xp 3.0
Thanks! Yah I was surprised how far it went on a single charge while spending most of my time in PAS 3. It’s a really nice bike overall and I definitely recommend getting it a tune up after your first 100-200 miles. Makes a huge difference :).
@@tomsgadgetgaragewhat exactly does a tuneup on an e-bike consist of? I’m going to purchase this bike in the spring.
Hey! So they adjust the brakes, the derailleur, and chain. They also lube up the moving components. Made a very noticeable difference for me. Then the bike fell out of my trunk a couple weeks later when opening the tailgate because it shifted in the back when driving home. I’ll have to adjust the brakes again but will give it a go myself.
@@tomsgadgetgaragehey man thanks for the reply! About how much does a tuneup cost?
Wooohooo im rolling finally.....
Just did first day of RAGBRAI on my 3.0 LR. Mixture of flat farm land and hills. Went 40 miles on mostly PAS 2. Pretty much as expected but carried an extra battery in case.
Just looked it up. That looks like an awesome event 😎. Are you doing all 8 days?
@@tomsgadgetgarage We just do the first day when it starts near Omaha, usually 40-60 miles. It's a really neat event. Iowa is a little hillier than most people think. Flat like a waffle they say.
Sounds like a really fun event. Yah PAS 2 is nice to cruise around in for a relaxing ride.
As a rider of this bike(long range lectric 3.0) I have to say that if you do anything under PAS 3 the bike is a heavy lumbering turtle and when you get down to one bar....it loses power and you are riding it like a regular bike which.... you do not want to do..... as its like peddling while pulling a cart full of bricks. also IMO the range must be off, I see no way anyone is getting 65 miles under any circumstance with this bike unless they bring multiple batteries as there really is no optimal riding condition pretty much anywhere except lectric corporate board room pitch meetings. most places there are hills and valleys and hills again. in reality you will be surprised by how fast the bars drop off under regular bike riding.
I’m going to do a couple more range tests this week. One with throttle only and the second focusing on squeezing out as much range as possible. I have to take advantage of this cool weather while it lasts haha.
Is PAS 3 a lot of work pedaling? Do you need to take breaks or you can pedal the whole time without tiring for an average person?
Hey! PAS 3 is definitely a relaxing ride with minimal effort on relatively flat ground. No need for breaks and I would consider myself average fitness.
I got 50 miles PAS 3 mode I’m 185 lbs
Daaaaaang! That’s awesome. I might have to give it another go now that the weather is cooler. Did you have lots of stop and go or a mostly continuous ride?
Most continuous ride I didn’t use the throttle even when coming to a stop I only pedaled and I did notice a big difference is torque and speed when getting to extremely low battery level, I think I’m gonna do a video of my own and maybe even get another long range battery so I can go 100 miles +
Ah makes sense. 100 miles would be a lot of pedaling haha. Sounds like a great idea though. Would be great for those folks who like doing cross country type biking. Throw a few batteries on the rack and you’re good to go. I know some places sell a dual battery discharge balancer kit that allows you to connect two batteries, which allows you to skip swapping out the battery.
I’ll have to look into the dual charger set up
I'm about 155#. Weight makes a big difference.
Too bad you didn't include the elevation of Camelback mountain. With it sitting by itself it's hard to judge scale, from your perspective it looks like only a hill in my city. I live near the rocky mountains in Canada so we got lots of big hills which are fun afternoon walks.
But from the view you posted I'm guessing it's a lot taller than a "big hill"
Ok it's only 200 meters shorter than Nose hill mountain in Calgary, but Calgary itself is at a higher elevation so the hight from base to top of Camelback is probably significantly longer
So Camelback is about 2,700 ft / 823 m and is ~1,300 ft / 396 m taller than the area that surrounds it. It’s tall enough that you can see it from most places in the Phoenix Metro area but not a Rockies grade mountain. I used to live in the Colorado Rocky Mountains and those make Camelback look tiny, but none offer 360 degree views of a metro area like Camelback does. The hike is pretty strenuous, but well worth it when you get to the top. People bring a fully decorated Christmas tree to the top every year. Pretty fun tradition haha. Definitely wouldn’t want to be the one carrying that thing up that mountain haha.
@@tomsgadgetgarage Nose hill in Calgary is 1226m/4022feet but has an elevation gain of 354.2 ft. So my original guess was right though Nose hill is technically higher. Camelback has it beat in elevation gain
Sorry if I missed it in the video, but where exactly is the trail (or your route in general on this trip)? Any bike trails you recommend in AZ?
Hey! So this is the Arizona Canal Trail which runs for 72 miles through 4 cities (Peoria, Glendale, Phoenix, Scottsdale) and the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. I definitely recommend this ride as it takes you through a lot of nice areas. Plus, there are always people out and about riding/running on the trail.
I also recommend the bike paths at Tempe Town Lake. Those also go for many miles and offer a great ride with lots to see.
@@tomsgadgetgarage Have you ridden at Saguaro National Park? I’m planning a trip to AZ as there seem like some definite areas to hit. I plan to come out on a weekend when they have the silent Sunday on south mountain that I only learned about from your channel! I’m learning that some places (Zion National Park) technically do’t allow class 2 bikes and am wondering if I’ll get turned away at any of the places I plan to ride.
@@SOCALHD that sounds like it’ll be fun! I haven’t been to Saguaro National Park, but if you’re in the Tucson area, check out The Loop. It’s 131 miles of bike paths, with some really scenic areas. Also very e-bike friendly.
@@tomsgadgetgarage Thanks I will check it out!
How long do you think a fully loaded XP with the long range battery could go just pushing it on walk mode?
Ha! If you’re just pushing it at 3mph and not actually riding it, depending on the load, you can probably get well over 65 miles.
@@tomsgadgetgarage thats what I was thinking, just wasnt wanting to walk 100 miles and find out. I was thinking in an SHTF scenario, if I had to walk west along the tracks, I could push the bike with my dog trailer with my pack in it. Doesnt get too "hilly" till Colorado anyway ;)
Is the bike set up as class 2 or class 3 ???
It’s set to class 2 in this video. I do most of my riding in class 2 as 15-18mph is my sweet spot.
Why so fast ?
I was beating the afternoon heat. I made this video early in the AM in the Phoenix area and was making sure I get back before the blistering afternoon heat. Sometimes we get overnight lows of 93° so it heats up quick. I plan to do another one of these at a more leisurely pace in the near future.
14 mph a little fast can't look around
