I had the original [1.0] in 2020 and put 1,200 miles on it. Jeremiah, your reviews helped me pull the trigger on the $800 bike back then. It was the most money that I had ever spent on a bicycle and I didn't own a car back then. It made the hills in my little town manageable and non-factors for getting around. I could go from one end of town to the other in a loop and not run out of electricity. Unfortunately it rains a solid three months where I live so I got a little car and sold off my bike for $500 after eighteen months of ownership. I miss that bike, on sunny ☀️ days. Jeremiah and KevCentral are awesome bike guys!!! Sorry for mixing up my biblical J dudes 😋
I predicted this bike: drive belt and automatic shifting! I'm surprised Lectric pulled it together so quickly. It looks amazing. This is a game changer. All that's missing is 40 mph top speed when unlocked to compete with Wired. Maybe it has this... Looking forward to the next video about this bike. Great work Lectric!
I’m sure you can but to be honest that’s one thing I didn’t test and I should have. When I get one for full testing I’ll definitely be testing that because I’m curious if the battery was completely dead if it will still shift gears.
@@jordanspark1754 the gearbox has 500 shifts after the battery dies, or something like that, is what they said. It must have its own battery or power source that can keep going after the bike battery dies
I have three Lectric. 1.0 ,2.0 ,Xpreimun I'm now a owner of a Wallke H9. If you want power and range get a Wallke H7 step thru or a Wallke H9 AWD, no contest at all game over!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s a nice e-bike and an even better review. Lectric breaks the mold in introducing into the mass market the pinion system. Lectric continues to get better.
When you review, please do an inadept on the LCD display. I wonder if it has user resettable Tripmeter, customizable sensitivity, multiple PAS options.
Add full suspension (or front suspension plus suspension seat post), and this is going to be a massive seller. If they implement this with their cargo bike, it is going to be a huge seller.
Without the front suspension and ability to fold not sure it really worth the money. Certainly cool features. Excited to see them trickle down to other budget models. BUT, the real question, can we swap the display to a older model?
Yeah , one of my thoughts was $2000 with a very tiny battery pack . I think it is the only or nearly the only $2000 e-bike with a very small 48v 10ah battery . I would not even make it on one of my rides with that . Battery would die well before getting back home .
Great Content! Once they have a front suspension in the 2.0 version, it may work. It levels up others, Ride1up, Aventon, to have their own versions. Good job Lectric!
Lectric sort of help get it all started in mass ebike marketing. Credit to them for that. Having said that, it's odd that they don't seem to listen to customers any more about what riders want and don't want. Whenever I speak to other ebike riders I consistently heard three things. Lower price, more range, more speed. We don't want another app to fidget with. We want less tech, not more. The fact that this smaller, lighter weight bike is more expensive is ridiculous. Lectric is innovative. But, this one misses the mark for actual potential customers. $2000! Crazy pricing.
Shipping is now August. Ordered mine on march 28 they changed shipping date 3 times without notification. I am canceling my order today three strikes and I’m out
I wonder what Lectric has against full suspension? I understand no suspension, or half suspension brings down the weight which is cool for some e-bikes, but I believe none of their line up have full suspension. That’s a head scratcher.
Pretty simple add a suspension seat post to most of their lineup but I agree it would have been nice to have the front suspension on this model. It’s definitely a trade off for weight and most people do prefer lighter bikes so maybe this is the reason?
I am in agreement with all the comments regarding battery and suspension. I am only posting since I watched others who got the AZ trip courtesy of Lectric and your video is the best. Somewhat ironic my 1st ever while ride was at the Grand Canyon where we rented them. Five minutes in it I said to the wife ohhh we are so getting a pair of Ebikes when we get home. And I did. They changed our lives for the better.
I'd want a step-over. With significant weight on the rear rack, step through ebikes flex like a wet noodle. I rode one last year, 700 miles. If you're not hauling groceries on the rack they're ok. I don't like step through ebikes.
Great review . Covered a lot with that short time of getting to try this e-bike . I was hoping for something different . They keep sticking with there very small battery pack . At that price still not UL certified , compliant not the same as certified . Still using very low cost 18650 cells . My lectric 3.0 already does throttle only speed of 20mph and hard pedaling to reach 28mph , closer to 25-26mph to maintain . I was at least hoping this new one would easily get to and maintain 28mph but its just like all the rest . $2000 and no suspension . I do not think i even saw a suspension seat post . Basically it feels like paying $2000 for a more fancy way to change gears . I cannot ride an e-bike if the brakes are squeeking . That generally means cheaper metal of the rotor and or brake pads . Review was very well done . E-bike is a hard pass for me . Possibly in a later group ride local , if i find someone who has bought it i may try it out to see if the ride matches my first impression .
The problem with e-bikes is that they will break and they will need repaired. Many bike shops won't touch e-bikes. Which bike shop in NYC will service and fix the Lectric One? Thank you.
@@aceball7076 100% on smooth surfaces for me. Im told too old trial riding like u young fellas. I use a seat post shock absorber and thats all youll ever need or want for paved paths.
Not 100% sure but probably because the shifter is on the right side. I mean I guess they could have used a twist throttle on the right side. I really didn’t mind it being on the left side
Who shifts gears on an Ebike, 7th gear mostly..I like the belt instead of the chain.But who knows, maybe the younger generation will like the electronics..
@@realeyesrealizereallies6828 100% incorrect. There are a ton of youtube videos on the subject. I just watched another one yesterday on why its bad to leave ebikes in high gear
@@srobeck77 I build Ebikes, I don't know everything..I have a mid drive bike that is 9 years old, over 40,000 miles, I shift gears on that bike because the power goes through the drive train..A hub motor just turns the wheel, the power doesn't go through the drive train..If you break your chain, you can still hit the throttle and drive home, it makes no difference..I have hub motor bikes too, for several years and never had to replace a free wheel or derailleur..So, don't believe everything on the internet..
Over $2000 and no front suspension fork........ why...... and its the same design as the folding version which is convenient yet this one doesn't fold. All they had to do was make this the xp 4.0, keep the fold and suspension fork and id be all over it. This is just non sense
PAS 5 under 10 miles😂. Not good enough. Nowhere near good enough. Could have all the bells and whistles in the world. What's the point if it only goes 10 miles.😢.
Nope, it's just under powered and you will be charging this a lot because of higher power output... Save your money or just keep riding the older, more less costly E-bikes for basically people living on a budget. I'm not criticizing your review but the company has lost their way in their mission statement from a few years ago. They were going to put out E-bikes that everyone could afford and use to help save money and use their cars less often. Lectric will be losing a big buyer demographic because of this move and not larger battery packs would be a good start.
I would have to agree . What good is a really nice gearbox going to do for you if you cannot even make it back home . Group rides around where i live are lengthy 10 miles minimum and i would never make it back before the battery died . So that means I would have to pay $200 more for the larger batter . No way I’m paying $2200 and tax for 48v 14ah with no suspension .
Unfortunately the technology in this model is expensive and any other bike with the Pinion gearbox and gates carbon belt on it would cost a minimum of $3500 so there pricing is very good compared to the competition. It’s definitely not going to fit everyone’s budget for sure but that’s why they still have the more affordable models with less technology. I think it’s great that they are offering what no other companies are.
You need to get a mount instead of holding that stick. Its dangerous and looks like you have zero control over that bike. Plus it looks like 6ou are a tourist. 👎🏻
@@srobeck77 Now is that 20 miles going to work and back?? That is a different story. Make sure you do not store your bike indoors they have a big chance of exploding and catching on fire. That is the nice "boomer" of making sure you will be fine.
