The brand-new XP Lite 2.0 from Lectric has received major upgrades, transforming this bike into a powerhouse. With enhancements to the display, brakes, tires, handlebars, motor, and the option to upgrade to a bigger battery, the XP Lite 2.0 delivers exceptional performance. Even more impressively, Lectric has kept the bike at the same low price as the original Lite!
One of the standout features is the optional Gates Carbon Belt Drive upgrade for just $100. This makes the XP Lite 2.0 the first ebike we've tested with a Gates Carbon Belt Drive priced under $1,700, let alone $1,000.
Join Andrew in this video as he takes you on a detailed walkthrough, tests the bike on various terrains, and shares his insights on what he loves and doesn’t about the Lectric XP Lite 2.0. Don’t miss this in-depth review!

This was a really good video Andrew. Great editing and well spoken! Thanks for the feature. I had a great time hanging out!!! ✌🏽
Thanks for the kind words and helping us film this!
$799 isnt cheap in the budget ebike space like it used to be, so it has to be improved even at that price point. I have a pair of Lectric 1.0s and no real complaints so far, but back then you couldn't buy much under $1k and now there are countless options, even at $600. You can't go wrong here as any decent ebike like this is a hundred times more comfortable and enjoyable than an old school human-powered bike for the majority of riders. If you are on the fence regarding buying an ebike, just buy one (whatever your budget). Especially if you are a little handy when it comes to maintenance and possible repairs.
*Was just watchin videos of this last night and today,* I like the more BMX style handle but wish they leaned into that design a lil more
🤙🏽⚡️🤟🏽⚡️🤙🏽
Great price for a light eBike, belt drive version available and nicer brakes 👌🏽
Nice review. Love the black one 🤙🏽
If you get the turtle neck attachment from David Brand New, it really helps the geometry to become more of a BMX style type bike.
It’s a nice looking ebike. It looks like it weighs half the amount it actually does which is a minus Respectfully. I like that they made the 300 watt peak higher, but hopefully in the next batch they can offer a much lighter ebike with a higher peak wattage.
The lavender one is fire.
It’s a beauty.
I see everyone else has beat Andrew up about the lavender comment. LOL I ordered the JW Black long-range for the belt drive. Owning the XP Trike for a year and I just don't use it because it is very cumbersome for negotiating the plethora of potholes around town. This will be sweet for getting around more easily. Nice! Plus is that I have both tow-bars with hitch for the pup cart because I preordered the wag along before the trike bar was available and I got a freebie upgrade. The Tibetan Spaniels were miserable in the pup cart as I tried to dodge potholes for both the trike and their cart. This will be easier for trips to the trailhead. They timed the introduction sale of the XP Lite 2.0 perfectly to rope me in on it.
Great review! I ordered the JW extended battery Lite Tuesday morning,stoked to get it! 😎
What's a JW ?
@@mrgregw it’s unofficially the John Wick black 2.0
Review the Roadrunner Rx7 please!! The scooter world needs an honest review from you guys specially!! 🔥🔥
Hey could you guys make a video on how to remove stem wobble on scooters like the yume 10 or just scooters that are dual fork because the locking mechanism moves around
I have the original xp lite already. Is there a difference in the pedal assist speed in 1, 2 & 3 pedal assist mode on the new xp lite? Thanks
I don't really need one of these, however I've been thinking they look fun. Now with these upgrades I could possibly convince myself I need one.
It's a great entry level bike that doesn't break the budget.
now it’s time for the xp 4.0 with all these new features
I contacted their customer service and while most companies ask for more pictures or whatever they just said alright the replacement part is in the mail. Shipping time wasn’t spectacular but that support will make them my go to for future bikes
We agree, thats why we like to mention their stellar customer service in the videos.
Wow i contacted them and ask me for pictures and videos ? And now they said go to a local bike shop and have them to take a look like wtf 😂 and if anything is wrong and needs to be corrected they only cover 150 ?! Like i only had this bike for 2 fn weeks ! Customer service is garbage
@@cristian_wrxperez2394 can I ask what the issue was? Mine was a seat issue. Two photos sufficed. I’ve heard of brake and derailure issues which I’ve had and fixed myself as a first time bike owner.
@@car_tar3882 so first the breaks squeaky and after 2 weeks both front and rear started scraping more noticeable when walking the bike . And when i was checking the bike out the front wheel already started wobbling so basically the reason why the front was scraping against the brakes . New to ebikes so sent it to get fixed its been 2 days since they had the bike hopefully nothing crazy needs to be fix paid 80 and lectric only covers 150 .. sucks that not having the bike long and already having issue very frustrating and concerning
Looks good but but i wished it came in a bigger size
Lectric stuck with 48 volt battery ☺️😂 if you want bmx looks and fastest get a Wired freedom.
How do you feel this bike did on back roads / gravel roads?
What’s the most affordable 30mph bike?
I had the original xplite and it was nice and light and and fun at first,but I wished they would keep the bmx design but a 500w motor and upgraded controller with a bigger battery. Would it be heavier? Yes it would but I just can’t do 20mph of anything anymore. It just takes entirely too long to get anywhere. If this bike could do at least 25mph that would feel like a huge difference. With their other bikes they have no problem with giving more power but the trade off is you look like you’re on something your grandparents would ride. Just swap everything that’s in their top tier bikes and put it in a bmx frame and you have a winner. The look, speed and power would be there.
Can you do review dualtron spider 2?
I’ve got the OG lite think it’s worth the upgrade?
I really want black, I'm just not sure I want a belt drive. I don't feel the chain on a single drive bike was really ever a problem.. plus a replacement chain vs a replacement belt I'm sure is a big cost difference.
A belt drive will last up to 10,000 miles and require little to no maintenance. A belt drive is really nice to have and it makes the bike smooth and quiet.
What carbon belt drive. Theres 2 versions cdw cdx
More and more of there e-bikes are not worth the lower battery capacity version Compared to the larger battery . You get quite a bit more overall with the higher capacity version . With how very low price the cells are in these packs i wish they would get rid of the tiny battery and go with 14ah then 20ah for the 2 versions for any future bikes and 21700 cells should be the cell of choice for all e-bikes . The cells are cheap enough by far that it should be standard .
Possibly might buy this 2.0 later for my son
Only issue is that Slime hardens over time. FlatOut is significantly superior.
2 years mine goes way strong
It also weakens the latex tube. I had a slightly deflated tire due to a puncture by a pin. The Slime plugged up the puncture, but the tire was too soft to ride safely. When I tried to pump it up, the valve stem ripped off the tube almost immediately and I had to call for a lift home. I was pretty annoyed.
I’ve since installed Tannus Armour and not put any sealant in the new tubes.
The new lavender color is cool. Lectric goes out of their way to hide the battery size on their website.
Unlocked this bike should be going 28 mph pretty easy
No this one will not be unlocked or go over 20
I like the belt drive version I wish the speed was increased a little. I’ll stick to my original version. For now 😇
Screw DBN....his stuff is never in stock. He wants to be a big shot guy...well dude, find yourself a venture capitalist that will finance your lack of inventory. Lectric will hopefully offer their BMX stem and handlebar as an accessory for pre-2024 Lectric eBikes.
Can it go 28?
How small of a human (or average age) could ride this? With the customizable height seat and handlebars, it looks like it could fit an elementary age kid which would be awesome.
It needs mudguards, cargo rack and multiple gears minimum
Hydraulic brakes are just excessive
i just ordered it and am noticing, no suspension...
$800 and no suspension 😮
3:54 “Especially the lavender haze …because women…” C’mon Andrew crawl out of the man cave! Anyone can have any color…smh.
Why are the keys dangling from the bottom tube? Seems like they would fall out?
you need them to turn on the bike. it’s locked in place, it cant fall out.
Women aren't discouraged from e-biking because of the colour of a bike; they're most likely discouraged cos e-bikes and e-motos are made with men's dimensions in mind. Frame size, standover height, reach length to the handlebars, etc. are the things that certainly matter to me, as a woman who's 5', on a good day.
And c'mon, it's 2024, not 1954; why are "girl colours" and "boy colours" even still a thing? I'm 47, and I'm already way past that outdated thinking.
Have the 1.0 bought 2 weeks ago already have problems with the brakes and front wheel wobbling .. thought these bikes would have less problems because all the good reviews and supposedly great service… in my experience lectric customer service is garbage and wont help basically told me to figure out whats wrong would not recommend this brand unfortunately
My friend and I own XPeditions. I had an easier time getting a response to fix brake caliper misalignment issues with the rotors than she, though she eventually got them to also send her a set of replacements.
Trouble is, the bracket on the replacement front kit fixed the alignment on the front set, but the replacement rear kit doesn’t. In fact, the bracket it came with won’t work with the 180mm rear rotor - the caliper body hits the rotor before the bracket’s holes even come anywhere close to the mounting holes in the frame. So I’ve ground more material off the original bracket to try to get the pad fully bearing on the rotor.
She and her husband got multiple controllers for their XP 2.0s as they burnt out. Still, they shouldn’t burn out so rapidly. The ones in the 3.0 seem more robust.
I’ve had issues with some of their accessories. Holes not lining up, etc. I can grind them larger to make them fit, but the quality of their accessories is hit-or-miss. There are minor issues with frame bosses for battery mounts and bottle cages, but they’re usable. Just don’t expect them to be aligned well.
Net, great value for the price, but expect some issues. Issues that can be resolved by sending you in-stock parts are fixed quickly, though you have to replace them yourself or cover the labor for a mechanic to do it. Issues that can’t, likely won’t be resolved. They simply won’t respond, not even acknowledging your issue. Oh well, I’ve got a set of replacement hydraulic brake calipers out of it.
Please stop using the word HATE in your reviews.
‘Things to improve’ or ‘dislike’ is a much more fitting use of words🙏
There is too much hate in the world nowadays so no need to add more definitely not when it comes to a fun recreational bicycle like this one.
That big, fat wire going down the front of it is really ugly. Also, you can't get the carbon fiber belt drive in any color other than black.
Overpriced & Anemic👎
Yeah, I had enough Im OUT! sub cancelled
