Today, we’re diving into the world of Lectric eBikes, America’s best-selling electric bike brand. Based in Phoenix, Arizona, Lectric has sold over 600,000 eBikes since 2019, making them the undisputed leader in the market. Let’s break down their lineup and help you figure out which model might be perfect for you.
Lectric’s philosophy is all about affordability without compromising quality. While they may not offer the absolute top-tier bikes in the industry, they provide the best value for money, with most models priced below $2,000. Let’s walk through each model, starting with the most affordable options:
1. Lectric XP Lite 2: At just $799, this is their entry-level folding eBike. Weighing only 49 pounds, it features 20×2.5 inch tires and a 300-watt motor that reaches 20 mph. It comes with a 7.8Ah battery, upgradeable to 14Ah for extended range.
2. Lectric XP4: Available in step-through and step-over models, the XP4 starts at $999 for the 500-watt version and $1,299 for the 750-watt long-range version. Both can reach 28 mph, making them Class 3 eBikes. The 500-watt model includes a 10.4Ah battery, while the 750-watt boasts a 17.5Ah battery.
3. Lectric Xpress: Priced the same as the XP4, this stealth eBike looks like a regular bicycle. It’s available in step-over and step-through models, with 500-watt or 750-watt motor options and 10Ah or 14Ah batteries.
4. Lectric Xpedition: This cargo eBike starts at $1,399 for the base model with two 13Ah batteries, or $1,699 for two 17.5Ah batteries, offering over 100 miles of range. It’s Lectric’s longest-range eBike and now features a front fork.
5. Lectric XPeak: Priced at $1,499 for the 15Ah version or $1,699 for the 20Ah version, this fat tire eBike sports 26×4 inch tires and an RST Renegade front fork, perfect for off-road adventures.
6. Lectric Trike 2: At $1,499 for the 500-watt version (with a 750-watt version coming soon), this is likely the most affordable electric trike in America.
7. Lectric One: The flagship model at $2,399, this commuter-focused eBike features a 750-watt motor (peaking at 1,310 watts), a Pinion gear drive, and electronic shifting. It’s built for effortless commuting and easy transport on public transit.
When it comes to colors, Lectric offers various options depending on the model. The XP Light and XP4 have the most color choices, including white, blue, sandstorm tan, lavender, and black for the XP Light, and pine green, tempest gray, white, and raindrop blue for the XP4. Other models like the X Peak, Express, and Trike have more limited color options, while the Lectric One comes only in gray.
So, which Lectric eBike is the best? Well, that depends on your needs. The XP4 is a versatile “Swiss Army knife” eBike that can handle most tasks. The XPeak is great for off-roading, while the Xpress is perfect for those wanting a stealthy electric ride. The Expedition is ideal for families or those needing to haul cargo, and the Trike offers stability and fun for those who prefer three wheels.
Personally, I’m currently loving the Pine Green XP4. It’s got a great design with the zero-degree stem, and I’ve decked it out with accessories. But honestly, each Lectric eBike has its strengths, and they’re all built with quality and affordability in mind.
In conclusion, Lectric offers an eBike for everyone, whether you’re a commuter, off-road enthusiast, or just looking for a fun ride around the neighborhood. With their combination of quality, affordability, and variety, it’s no wonder they’re America’s best-selling eBike brand. So, which Lectric eBike catches your eye? Let me know in the comments!
