@@EbikeEscape Still waiting for them to get the JW bikes in stock.
Very informative video. Had the most information of all the videos I've watched on this specific model from Lectric. Well done.
The belt drive model needs to come in additional colors as well. This might be the perfect bike for us older rv travelers who want to throw 2 e-bikes in the rv garage but my wife would never want a black bike.
Maybe some vinyl accents? It would have increased the SKU count. I think next version we will have a good idea of what was most popular.
@@EbikeEscape my only question is to fulfill my hearts need with lavender haze or say goodbye to purple and go belt drive. where in the video do you discuss if its worth going there?
Granny here and I just bought this bike due to the belt drive & simplicity of not having the hassle of gears. I agree that the black is not lovely, but will customize with my own paint job..which might discourage potential thieves as it will be unique & femme! 😁
Get a better wife then 😂
Black wouldn’t be my first choice. I have a blue 1.0 and had to get the belt drive extended range and it does look slick in person in black, but I agree; I’d probably choose a different color with the extended range belt drive
Thanx for a great review,I’ve had the Lite since its debut and I’m sold on new belt drive extended battery model!!! 😎
Nice!
Dude same story here. I LOVE my lite. And to have that sturdy belt and ability to travel 15-20m at a good speed one way - will open up so much more of the big city that I live in. I also would recommend to get a bike cover if you park this thing outside for long periods. To deter unwanted attention.
Weighing this one very seriously, Ryan. I was considering the Portola, however ... I have an XPTrike, but it is so cumbersome for little trips around this small town full of potholes. If I do pull the trigger, one the bright side, I have both tow bars for the pup cart. They sent the one for a two-wheeler, then sent a freebie for the Trike configuration. I really do like the looks and features on this one. Trust you guys and your reviews and advice!
Excellent review!!!!!!!! Trying to think of one I've enjoyed more over the years. 😅
Thanks!
I just ordered that today.
Congrats! I'm waiting for mine too.. Soo happy!
A front hubmoter includes e-brake in the frunt wheel and small diskbrake on the rear wheel might help
I'm going back and forth with this bike vs the 3.0. I love this bike but would like the extended range battery which buts this bike at $1099, now I'm over 1k and then start looking at the 3.0.
The JW Black is pretty cool! I think I might look into getting the long range version
That would be my choice too. The belt drive is just really nice to have and for $200 more the battery upgrade makes a ton of sense for anyone going any kind of distance.
Added cool points JW stands for John Wick.
It would be nice if they changed the lights on the back of the bike. Or you could change the color and blank. On the back of the bike. Backlight
Is it possible to change the rear sprocket to a larger size on these hub motor single speed bikes like you can on a regular non electric single speed bike ? Would also have to have a longer chain. Is there a benefit to even attempting this to reduce ghost pedaling ?
Hopefully soon I get my XP lite 2.0 Ship's out in July, but no date.😊
Did you try setting P08 above 32 to see if it could go faster?

Just bout the jw black from the link in the comments. Ty for all the details.
Thanks for the support!
Cool. Thank you
You bet!
The belt drive plus the pinion gear concept: I hope to see that develop into taller wheel models integrated with a rear hub drive. 'Dual Adventure E-bikes w/o the 4.0" wheel concept; (installing a narrower wheel, but will be adaptable for all road and all terrain bike riding.).
As a woman who began biking at the age of 2...my build concepts are much better than what is presently on the US market.
See LectricOne, Gates belt drive & pinion gear box. That was my first choice but above this year's budget, so I bought this bike. Next year...☺️ The "Grands" will get the 2.0 belt drive when I'm ready for the LectricOne! Please share your opinions; it sounds like you are knowledgeable. Personally, I'm done with cars for routine travel. Retired & tired of being in a box!
@@stephaniecruvant9130 Benno (IMO) is the best developer in mixing a combination of e-bike design and usage/e-utilization for an e-bike rider. The businesses that are serving the lower income classes, they compensate on components and type of electric drive to where it will lead the product to be more affordable for a lot more people. I have been cycling for many years and therefore I seek better quality performance and power, etc when it comes to purchasing an e-bike, but still purchasing within my own budget.
Still waiting for my bike. They told me late July.
Heads up the “ships July” just got pushed to September for me only after I asked their support. Ordered July 7th.
Cancelling order so I can ride this summer. 🙄
Will a battery from original XP Lite fit in the new XP Lite 2.0?
I want to get the lavender one so badly but I also want the belt drive. Decisions decisions
Great video. So do you think the belt drive is really worth getting on this small bike?
I don't think there is anything that makes it less attractive because the bike is small. I think for $100 extra, it's a no brainer but I am heavily bias to any belt drive ebike. Thanks for watching!
Ryan, I whole-heartily agree with you concerning Belt Drive (no maintenance, plus save $100 a year on derailleur tune-up.)
My concern is with Single-Speed. I understand the challenges of hills, but I get confused with cadence. I have a 2020 Specialized Turbo Como. It has a mid-drive, derailleur and, I believe, torque sensor. I like my cadence at 60rpm (Male, age 61, 200+). For the most part, regardless of hills or wind, I can achieve it with Pedal Assist (PA) and gears.
But the Lectric XP Lite 2.0 doesn’t have a mid-drive, derailleur or torque sensor; just PA. So, is my cadence going to be all over the place? For instance, would it be over 80 just trying to maintain 15mph on level ground?
I think it would be an insightful video to go more in-depth with the challenges of Single-Speed; especially with Cadence, MPH, Hills and PA.
Being single speed, you will not be able too control your cadence. The wind and hills will. This bike may not be for you
@@turbofan450 Thanks for the input. Down the road, I hope Lectric includes an internally geared hub like Evelo Dash.
They make a heavier bike with gears. I like the light because I can lift it and put in my car.
Does this e-bike have fluid in it to seal punctures?
What is the throttle only range with the long range battery?
I had a question about the P22 setting at 13:09: when you set the value to "2", the PAS level stays the same as at value 0, but the speed limit goes up to 20mph. Does that mean that if you're on PAS 1 or PAS 2, if you pedal faster, you can get up to 20mph but it uses the same amount of amps? Does this mean it's kind of mimicking a torque sensor, in that the more I pedal, the faster I can go? How does that feel when compared to a torque sensor?
Thanks!
So it's still a cadence sensor so as long as you're pedaling you will get however many amps related to the PAS level. It is better than the speed based pedal assist though. More than likely you can get to 20 mph in any setting (or close), it's just going to depend how fast you want to get there. Of course you pedaling harder will impact the speed, it just won't impact how much power the motor is giving you.
such a bummer they didn't increase top speed
I'm hoping the belt drive makes it to the 3.0
If they should make a video how to take off the back Rem.
What about installing a suspension seat post to get a bit more leg extension as they tend to add a bit more length?
I am 6’1 and on the xp 3.0 step thru with the suspension seatpost i wish it was about 1-2 inches taller to get full extension. So if you are close and need that extra little but it may help but if around my height you may need to look around for other options
After watching this I'm sold on the John wick. I almost bought a Jetson bolt pro. I'm 6 ft 2 210 lb
I have an Oraimo foldable bike, similar to the Lectric but no front suspension is a hard pass. On rough streets the ride is jarring. I get saving money but adjustable front suspension would be a nice addition.
Does your Oraimo have suspension?
I like Lectric's approach of keeping the price down and not putting a cheap part on the front. The ability to add one aftermarket is also always available.
It does not. Front suspension is a definite plus.
so is P22 on 0 better for battery?
No date. Why is it taking so long to be in stock?
nice review! I will only buy a new Lectric if its Full Suspension (Front and Rear), hopefully I wont wait that long
We will see! Perhaps someday
The Lectric XP Lite 2.0 is a newly upgraded version of our lightest and most affordable eBike to date, the XP Lite. Weighing in at just 49 pounds, the foldable XP Lite is ready to tackle everything from trips into town to exciting joyrides with a Lectrifying twist of the throttle. A Gates Carbon Drive Belt system provides nearly maintenance-free functionality! On top of that, enjoy hydraulic brakes, Lectric PWR programming, an LCD color display, and much more. The XP Lite 2.0 also includes an option to add a long-range battery.
I would like to see a shorter person on this bike and see if the handlebars could tilt. That is my only reservation. I don’t know if I could ride comfortably because of my arm length
This is a good question. I'm short and didn't think about this.
They definitely tilt. It is one of the smaller e bikes on the market so it should be fine.
I just asked about the belt drive performance in your other xp lite vid. Please disregard. 😂
🤣 thanks for watching
How to make the handlebar closer to the rider? Thanks!
Loosen up the stem bolts and torque back down to spec in the desired position.
Am I doing something wrong? I just went on the website. I was going to order the black one the John Wick version with the belt Drive some reason it’s coming up 999. It’s not taking off. It says it takes off to $100 coupon but it still says 999. ???
did you select any upgrades on the order? It shows $899 for me
@@Ctrey97 yes I just realized I added the bigger battery and that’s exactly what I want. I’m willing to pay the extra money for a bigger battery.👍🏽
@@JerseyStyle7 cool, I think I am also leaning towards the bigger battery option
Glad you got it figured out!
Is there a difference with the 22 x 50 teeth chainring vs the 22 x 70 Gates belt? Do you have more manual assistance at higher speed instead of phantom pedaling?
I really want the black, but I don't think I want a belt drive. I never have issues with my chains. The belt will be expensive to swap when or if it breaks. a chain isn't that much of an issue.. sucks I can't get black with a chain now.
I don’t know how strong belts on bikes are, but I’ve owned several motorcycles that were belt drive, and I never had any issues with them.
That belt will probably outlast the bike. They are incredibly durable.
A huge reason to go belt drive is that they don't require maintenance or break. I'd be impressed if you managed to need another.
Who makes the battery cells ? Samsung ?? I've had bad luck with no name battery cells... ( edit- i just called tech support--they do not know )
Does a suspension post make a significant difference?
YES! Makes the ride far less jarring and far more enjoyable, a must for someone with an old back like me.
It made ALL the difference for me on my E-Bike (different brand). Suspension seat post and very good padded, gel gloves
hey what's the top speed never seems to be answered
Think it’s only about 20mph tops
What is the most affordable belt drive cargo bike?
It's taken forever to get that new bike. I ordered it on the 5th of June. X p lite 2.0
Did they give you an accurate ETA?
@@EbikeEscape no
@@EbikeEscape Note date, nothing. Only july
What size tote is that?
Really? 😆
Bruuh bought a base bike like this n throw in 200-300$ for the e.motor. saved u money.
How much shipping???
Free
How much do you weigh?
140
@@EbikeEscape thx man! I won’t bug you with a thousand questions but if I may ask one more.
Rad vs lectric? A lot of forums saying rad is higher quality but I’m just wanting something to ride around campgrounds and my neighborhood occasionally.
No commuting or delivering food. Thx for any advice!
How is it the keys STILL GO ON THE BOTTOM!
Ultimately they kept things the same to keep the price low. At least that's what I think.
They should find ways to make the bucks more waterproof.
Thinking about Cancel.
The bike.
Single speed is the deal breaker for me
Curious how much the pedal assist will help negate the downside of single speed
@m73jaredII If its like the lite 1.0, when pedaling at 13-15 mph, your feet are spinning like mad. That's why most bikes have gears.
It’s 999 not 899
I just ordered one for $899🤷😂
@@RileyRacing-wl7bu yeah you must have ordered the cheaper version. I want the bigger battery. Why wouldn’t you order the bigger battery?🤦🏽♂️
@@JerseyStyle7 ok I called and changed my order to the long range because you pushed me over the edge😂 I actually am a prior customer so I got the $100 off and got it for $999. I would recommend calling because they just took the difference by credit over the phone
@@RileyRacing-wl7bu did you get the JW version ?
@@JerseyStyle7 yes, but existing customers got a discount for that to take it from 1099 to 999 so that was awesome
…class 2…
This woulda been $699 under Trump, like my 2.0 was only $899 and was way better than the lite. Thanks Biden.
😂👍🏽
Nothing better than Conservatives being triggered by the free market capitalism they so proudly champion 😂
@@maxsilverstone8600 please show us the free market you claim that exists lol, Biden shut down our domestic energy production, and limited the free market which raised the prices on everything.
Lectric literally just had a sale for the 3.0 that bundled free extras plus a 2nd battery worth $500 for the same MSRP as the 2.0. Cry about real problems, my guy.
@@Yuusharo i’m not crying over anything Karen, in the past two years I owned over four dozen bikes if I wanted a fat tire bike, I would have bought one. I don’t want that one-mind your own business.
Hopefully soon I get my XP lite 2.0 Ship's out in July, but no date.
Did you try setting P08 above 32 to see if it could go faster?
Yes but it doesn't allow you to do so
The 20 mph is a deal breaker for me. I imagine on any type of a grade with a single gear drive, you're going to struggle to maintain a decent speed and it might be prudent to avoid any large grades.
