I really enjoyed delivering with the 1.0 Xpedition but its time to retire that ebike from delivering. I sold it to a guy who will be using it to carry his kid around. So that means its time to put the Xpedition 2.0 into action.

In this video, an Ebiker documents his experience using the new Lectric Expedition 2.0 e-bike for Uber Eats deliveries in the suburbs. Having retired his older electric expedition 1.0 due to various issues, Chris Crossed was eager to test out the new model.
E-bike Setup and Initial Thoughts
Chris starts by setting up the Expedition 2.0, initially opting for a smaller delivery bag. He acknowledges the bike’s impressive range, thanks to its two 17.5 amp-hour batteries. He also added accessories like a phone holder, cup holder, and frame bag for convenience.
His first impressions were mixed. He appreciated the bike’s “punch” and the quieter 1300W peak motor. However, he wasn’t a fan of the smaller tires and found the bike’s overall length to be cumbersome for deliveries. The kickstand also presented some maneuverability challenges.
Delivery Runs: A Test of Efficiency
Chris’s delivery runs were divided into lunchtime and dinnertime sessions. Unfortunately, the lunchtime run proved slow, with only a single $3 Taco Bell order. The dinner run didn’t fare much better, with minimal orders despite the peak hours. In total, Chris earned about $12 for roughly an hour of work.
Performance Review and Final Verdict
Despite the slow delivery day, Chris noted the bike’s good brakes and nimble cornering. However, he emphasized the need for faster delivery bikes (30-35 mph) with easy throttles for suburban areas to maximize deliveries. He also expressed a desire for Lectric to design a larger, more efficient delivery bag specifically for deliveries.
In conclusion, while the Lectric Expedition 2.0 is capable of handling Uber Eats deliveries, Chris believes it’s not the most efficient option, particularly in suburban settings. He suggests it might be better suited for family hauling. During his runs, he covered 16 miles and used 4 volts of battery life.
