Lectric eBikes

Lectric eBikes, based in Phoenix, became the largest e-bike seller in the US on the strength of the XP folding bike, which ships fully assembled and includes hydraulic brakes, fenders, rack and lights at a low price. The lineup has grown to include the XP Lite, the XPedition cargo bike, the XPeak fat bike and newer models with torque sensors and Pinion gearboxes.

Lectric sells direct and through Amazon, with a large owner community and good parts availability. Its bikes are heavy and utilitarian, and support is by phone and email rather than a dealer network. For first-time buyers who want a complete, ready-to-ride bike at the lowest sensible price, Lectric is the default recommendation.

Folding E-BikesFeatured

Lectric XP 3.0 Folding E-Bike

The XP 3.0 is the bike that made Lectric the best-selling e-bike brand in the US. It is a 20x3 folding bike with a 500W motor (higher peak), a 48V battery, hydraulic brakes, a suspension fork, fenders, a rack and lights, shipped fully assembled in a box. It is heavy for a folder, the cadence sensor makes assist a little abrupt, and the stock battery is on the small side (a long-range pack is offered). What it does better than anything at the price is arrive ready to ride, hold up, and have a huge owner community for parts and advice. Lectric has since released newer XP generations, but the 3.0 remains widely available.

Best for: First e-bike · RV, boat and apartment storage · Short to medium commutes

Compact E-Bikes

Lectric XP Lite 2.0 Folding E-Bike

The XP Lite 2.0 is the smaller, lighter sibling of the XP: a single-speed 20-inch folder with a 300W motor, a 48V battery and, in the 2.0 version, hydraulic brakes. At around 49 lb it is one of the few folders most people can actually lift into a trunk or carry up a few steps. It is Class 2 with a throttle and tops out at 20 mph. The single speed and modest motor mean it is happiest on flat ground with lighter riders, which makes it a sensible teen, student or short-hop bike. It is not the bike for hills, long range or heavy loads.

Best for: Teens and students · Short flat trips · Riders who need to lift the bike

Cargo E-BikesFeatured

Lectric XPedition 2.0 Cargo E-Bike

The XPedition 2.0 is the value leader in longtail cargo bikes. It carries a 750W motor, hydraulic brakes, a 450 lb payload rating and the option of dual batteries for long range, on 20x3 wheels with a low step-through frame. The 2.0 added a torque sensor and a rear rack that accepts Lectric's own passenger kits and many third-party child seats. It costs a fraction of a Tern or Specialized cargo bike. It is heavy and the finish is utilitarian, and support is direct rather than through a shop, but for families replacing car trips on a budget it is the first bike to look at.

Best for: Families on a budget · Two kids or a passenger on the back · Grocery runs and errands

Fat Tire E-Bikes

Lectric XPeak 2.0 Fat Tire E-Bike

The XPeak 2.0 is Lectric's full-size 26x4 fat bike, built for dirt roads, ranch property and rough trails more than for commuting. It pairs a 750W motor with a 48V 14Ah battery, a torque sensor, a suspension fork and hydraulic brakes, and it is offered in step-over and step-through frames. It is priced well below the Aventure.2 and RadRover while matching most of their spec sheet. It is heavy, the small stock battery suits shorter rides, and support is direct. For a capable off-road fat bike at a budget price it is a standout.

Best for: Dirt roads and property riding · Light hunting use with a rack · Riders who want a torque sensor cheaply
