    Lectric has done it again, breaking barriers with their latest e-bike, the Xpress. Their mission to deliver top-quality e-bikes at an affordable price shines through with this model. The Xpress is your ticket to your next adventure, packed with features like a torque sensor, vibrant color display, hydraulic brakes, fenders, rear rack, and 80mm of front suspension.
    We are lucky enough to be one of the few pre-release testers of this bike and share our opinions with you.
    In this video, we do a walkthrough and tell you what we love and hate about the Lectric Xpress.

    I don't think the light is all that bad. only that mine came mounted off centered and after attempted to take it off and adjust it, it was just bent so I rebent it... Altus or better would for sure be a nice upgrade. The 999 is ofc the 500w and even the 750 doesn't come with fenders and rack... the package claims the rack can only hold 30 pounds??? I'll wait and see if they don't add a better deal later like they just did with the Xpeak

    Im looking for a commuter bike to save money with the price of gas and insurance. Get rid of one of our cars and use this for commuting to work. Im completely new to ebikes. Any recomendations? I care mostly about battery longevity and it doesnt need to be top power but a decent amount. I live in a city of 200k people so its not like a big city with grid lock but roads are busy enough.
    We have designated bike lanes on all main roads.
    Edited for context.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Good value models, though they don’t include fenders or racks, and the tires are 27.5x2.1in.
    Which lab certified Lectric’s e-bikes? I’ve not found any of them in databases of certified products at UL, SGS or TUV. I’ve searched by “Lectric” for manufacturer or trade name, and various capitalizations of “XPeak”, “ONE” or “XPress” and not found any mention of them in those three lab’s databases. I keep hearing they’re UL certified to UL 2849, but have yet to be able to confirm it.

    Looks like a great bike, but why would you make a commuter bike in 2024 and not have a working brake light? The whole point of a commuter is you're going to be sharing space with traffic and other cyclists on bike paths. Commuters need that the most, IMO. Come on Lectric, it's one wire.

    Having customer service in the Philippines does not mean there is a language barrier. maybe a cultural barrier but certainly not a language barrier. Over 60% of all customer service for American B2C firms is based out of the Philippines and that's been true since the early nineties when India based support was becoming a nuisance due to hard accents.
