Except it doesn’t come with the fenders and rack. That’s a 99 dollar upgrade.

@freshlycharged 3 месяца назад

That’s a good catch. They have never charged for it in the past and didn’t let us know when they brought to bike to us for testing and review.

I want to purchase this bike, but I'm waiting for a version of the Lectric XPress that gives me an option of choosing upgrades. Give us an option for an upgraded version of the XPress, Letric. We want the upgraded parts: derailleur, fenders, suspension, etc., but we would like to have them direct from the factory, and avoid the higher cost of paying a bike shop to swap out the parts.

@sherpaderpdingo3405 Месяц назад

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.

@greenwave819 3 месяца назад

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

@Andrew-vt4jt 3 месяца назад

The rack we had said 25 kgs and had fenders, so they might have a different one on the final production unit. They should have let me know the fenders were not included.

@wkw4095 Месяц назад

Having owned dirt bikes which always have plastic fenders. I really don't see plastic fenders as a deal breaker. Actually, for an ebike with the buzzing hub motor I feel there's a harmonic sound with metal fenders....and the stones and crap making it sound like a wind chime ;)

@@freshlycharged why do you prefer the xpeak? I ask because I pre-ordered the xpress. I chose it over the xpeak because it is lighter, and has a torque sensor. I also don't get the appeal of fat tires.

How would you compare this with the Aventon level 2 ?

@freshlycharged 2 месяца назад

They are going to ride fairly similar. Aventon’s user interface with the display and app is better, but it’s going to be at a decent cost difference. Lectric’s customer service will be better.

@JaksIRL 3 месяца назад

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.

@Calleseprro 3 месяца назад

Just like cars, cant have everything in one car for future ideas

@greenwave819 3 месяца назад

I think the idea is to save battery. the brake light works when the lights are on. saves battery when they are off. Idk... I've never had any issues from this

@doctadrey3000 3 месяца назад

You really think a brake light is gonna make all the difference between them seeing you and not?

@jimjr9143 3 месяца назад

Most definitely needed . Not just for the cars around you . Helps as well for anyone in other bikes riding right behind . And yes as this is 2024 we should be advanced enough to have brake lights on all e-bikes .

@JaksIRL 3 месяца назад

@@doctadrey3000 Yes 100% there is a reason that they are mandatory on all motor vehicles and it is because they are super effective at making people behind you aware of what you're doing. There's no excuse not to have a brake light.

@chow-chihuang4903 3 месяца назад

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.

@HullioGQ 3 месяца назад

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.

@greenwave819 3 месяца назад

it is 100% a real thing. I find I get much easier support from India actually. 90% or the time it is 80% better and 75% of the time there is no "accent" and let's toss in some extra % just to be 80% more scientific.

All these companies are killing themselves in the long run with these torque sensors. Defeats the purpose of an electric bike, when your battery dies you have a torque sensor that automatically kicks in.

@lita4458 2 месяца назад

Can you explain more for me? When I did test rides I did part of the rides on no battery. All the bikes were torque sensors. And some were fine without the battery. Better than my other e-bike which is a casdence.
