- My very first “long distance” ride on my Lectric XP 3.0 Long range. 30 miles plus round trip from Downey to Seal Beach. What an amazing experience!
NOTE: I’ve been able to top 50 miles on a single charge using pedal assist 1 & 2.
Lectric’s distance chart seems to be pretty accurate.
Thanks for watching!!

Thanks for taking us along for the ride!
Thanks for coming along with me!
No better and freeing feeling than feeling the wind blowing, great scenery, and just enjoying things
Thank you for your comment! 🙏
That ride to Seal looks so great and almost completely on an actual multi use trail.
At 43 volts your battery is gone. That’s more accurate than energy bar. Great ride.
Hey Man, Awesome video!! Cali sure is amazing!! Looking in to the XP 3.0 LR . I rode BMX here in Dirty Jerzy back then and I need that look back at 45😆 I’m new to E bikes but I’m seeing and hearing good things about Lectric. I wanna do distance riding and I weigh 130. Again thanks for the great info and ride safe. J…🤙🏼🧩
Good luck! I used to enjoy the freedom my new bike brought me until it stopped working! After round and round with the company, a new battery that doesn't fit and never lived up to expectations I'm stuck financing a hunk of metal. Even if it turns on I will never trust it to go far alone again. Also you should know that lectric bikes are NON RETURNABLE
Could go further if you keep it on pedal assist 1 or 2 if your on flat surface
great video. can you do an accessories video soon? Would love to know what you use as I'm eyeing this bike too
Dope bike I've seen them on sale lately for 999$. That's a great price ...
Also just a Pro-tip they sell portable power generators that are only 6 pounds but can charge electric bikes like urs. U can throw that in your bike rack or backpack if ur worried about loosing charge
So u can extend ur rides. In the event of an emergency 🦺 or whatever...
Cool stuff @Bryan Calhoun
Thanks for taking the time to watch & comment! 🙏
Hope you enjoyed the video! 🙂
Are you talking about something like the Jackery? That would definitely be a great option to extend your distance for sure, or for an emergency charge if needed....only thing is you are adding weight to your ride, so it would definitely be something you'd have to consider if its worth it to add the weight of a power pack, or just find a place to stop and charge while you have lunch or something like that, if you can find a spot...and if you bring your charger, can't forget that LOL.
My current E-Bike is a Rattan Challenger 2 26" mountain bike style....if I recall it has about a 30 mile range, never tried it that far, but looking at the Lectric XPremium model which has dual batteries and a 100+ mile range on PAS-1, and a 50 mile range with just using all electric without pedaling....PAS 5 has a 60 mile range according the website...even at that, I don't care to go that fast, so for me with my current bike I'm usually using PAS-1 or PAS-2, occasionally I'll go to PAS-3 but I kind of enjoy the pedaling aspect...the only reason I really wanted the E-Bike is for the hill I have to go up on my way home from town, its a pretty steep climb, so the electric assist is great...and I plan on getting a little trailer as well, so having the PAS capability will be great, and getting the Lectric folding bike will allow me to put it in the trunk of my car and take on trips to be able to checkout other towns more easily since I can park somewhere and ride the bike into downtown areas where parking is difficult to find...much easier traveling by bicycle in many areas. Even though the town I live in isn't exactly bike friendly, there are ways around that problem by sticking to side streets rather than the main road through the middle of town.
Just buy a second battery. I have a lite and carry it when I’m not looking to peddle so much up hill or if I’m spending all day on it
Thank with your ride.I have set up a dual battery with my Lectric XP 3.0 long range with the Hilong battery, so I am so very comfortable with the range of 5,60 miles....Thanks again
Glad you enjoyed the video! Dual battery sounds awesome!! 😎
Thanks for taking the time to comment 🙂
Do you have a vid on how to do this?
nice vid homie
Thank you 😎
@@chriselenes I'm currently saving up for a lectric 3.0. I was wondering if you would recommend the long range for a couple extra hundred dollars. I really appreciate you taking the time to help us out.
Him: I hope we’re not getting too much wind noise.
Wind immediately after: 🌬💨 🌬💨
So true 😅
Glad to see the XP's are pretty accurate with their battery range. I bought 2 of the XP 3.0 e-bikes, but with the standard battery. I have been having some range anxiety because I elected not to get the extended range. Thanks for the nice trip to the beach. I live in the Carolinas and have only been to So. Cal a couple of times in my life. It's like another world and proof our beautiful country has plenty to see without even visiting foreign countries (not that I don't want to though!).
Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for taking the time to add your kind comment!
And yes, the Lectric range chart is pretty spot on! 😊
Hi, what kind of bike lock is best for this to lock to bike pole? Thanks
Hey Chris, I haven't finished watching yet so maybe you address this, but I have a question. Around the 3:34 mark the bike shows 5 bars and you were around 12.3 miles into the ride on PAS 4. However, after another 2.2 miles your bike shows 7 bars 5:36 and was still PAS 4. Does the electric display of energy vary that much from mile to mile? That would be very irritating for me not to be able to trust the consistency of the display.
Hey there @Replicator,
the electric display has been very consistent as long as my pedaling and speed remain the same.
However, if I happen to slow down or stop, I will see it go up a bar or two. I’m no technician by any means, but my guess would be that it might have to do with less of a current being pulled from the battery. 🔋
I personally like it because it gives me a better idea of the range I’m to expect with the current PAS and speed.
One positive thing to note: I’ve only seen the bars go up after slowing down.
It’s never gone down suddenly or unexpectedly.
Hope this helps! Thanks for your great question and observation! 🙏
I have a Lectric XP 3.0 and the bars do bounce up once you stop the bike then drop back down once you begin using PAS. It's a little unreliable.
How did you tighten your light to keep it in place? I have the upgraded headlight and it always sags down no matter how much I tighten the bolts.
I used an allen wrench to hold the bolt while tightening the nut with a small crescent wrench 🔧
I did however have to do this a second time because it did start to sag after my first attempt.
Second time around I really tightened it well.
Hasn’t budged since.
My neighbor says Loctite blue is a good product to keep nuts and bolts 🔩 in place.
Luckily I haven’t had to use any.
Hope this helps bud!
Thanks for the ride, it's been 2 months. How many miles are on the bike now? Have you had any issues? Are you still happy with it? Have you put it in class 3 mode? and have you got it to go faster than 28mph?
I’ve been able to hit around 31 mph pedaling hard lol
So far I have a bout 250 miles, it’s been raining quite a bit in Southern California lately putting the rides on hold.
No issues.
I do however have to adjust brake pads here and there as they do wear and tightening is required from time to time.
Absolutely still HAPPY with my XP 3.0!! 😎
Sorry for late reply ✌️
❤
Nope, here in Michigan we not only do not have palm trees but its also 28 degrees with 6 inches on snow right now :(
We are also experiencing lower than normal temperatures at the moment here in L.A.
I know it’s nothing in comparison but the low was 40 degrees last night.
Thanks for taking the time to watch & comment, hope all is well bud. 🙏
@@chriselenes It is thanks man, I thought this was a range test for the Xpremium but..... It was cool to see how much I've wasted my life here in Michigan....
I order XP3.0 tomorrow will be my frist ride 1/6/23 it looks like fun
thinking about getting one of these bikes but know nothing about ebike's. If you set the PAS to a lower setting will your range increase?
Yes, the range increases by lowering the pedal assist. The top speed will also be lowered by doing this.
Thanks for taking the time to comment!
We bought two step thru 3.0s. With PAS 2 on flat ground ground you can cruise around 14 mph with ease. Only need higher PAS levels if you want to go fast, up hills, or into a heavy wind.
Can I ask, Why was the battery gauge fluctuating like that? Or did you charge it when you arrived at the beach?
Not exactly sure why It does that, I’m no technician by any means, but for some reason after you stop pulling a current from the battery and let it rest it goes up a bit. My friend’s ebikes that are different brands also behave the same way for some reason.
No, I did not charge it when I arrived at the beach.
Hope this helps @Katon4525
Thanks for your watching and for commenting with a great question! 🙏
@@chriselenes Thanks for getting back to me! Great and informative video :D
Have you made the bike into a class 3? This seems to have a massive negative impact on battery life.
GTA V looking Dope!
@Cheris talk to the factory to let it sell in Europe! I can't wait anymore !!!
The Lectric XP 3.0 long range has a rated peddle assisted range of up to 65 miles, and throttle only up to 30 miles. It seems like you were peddling, and your range is only about 32 miles.
It seems like the rated range is a bit optimistic compared to the range in a real world test. How far is the throttle only range for the long range model under your real world testing? Does the long range battery fit in the battery chamber? Are both the standard and long range batteries the same physical size? Maybe the standard battery has less battery cells inside the battery case.
Maybe another thing that could be tested is how much does the range decrease as the battery ages, like several years old, many charge cycles.
It really will be interesting to see how well the battery holds up after time.
So far the best I’ve gotten out of a single charge was about 51 miles and that was using peddle assist 1 & 2.
Hope to upload more videos soon testing the other peddle assists.
Thanks for taking the time to comment! 🙂
Have you done a no-pedal ride for distance? Top speed ride no pedal for distance?
Hello there, well to be honest I have not conducted a throttle only test. I use the bike to get a workout in disguise. But that’s actually a great idea for a future video. I’ll keep that in mind. I’d also like to take some time to do a video in either pedal assist 1 or 2 for range, most likely 2 because it would take forever in pedal assist 1 as the speed is a little on the slower side.
Thanks for taking the time to comment with your question!
Hope you enjoyed the video as well!
Lastly, hope you’re enjoying your ebike as well, I just noticed you also have some content up! 😊
is this the long range version?
What's your camera setup bro?
Just my old iPhone 11 Pro Max in my
hand bro 📱👋😅
30 isn’t too bad considering you were in PAS 4. How much do you weigh? Didn’t hear that I’m the video. Looking to get one when spring hits
I weigh 214 lbs. I did however put it into PAS 5 momentarily to conduct the top speed test.
Hope this helps @Justin Connor 🙂
@@chriselenes I’m about 250 but dropping. I’d most of the time do PAS 1-3 unless I’m going to take it to work sometimes. I do have a GB750 Mag that beats the specs like crazy of the lectric bike but I love the fact there are so many videos of how to dos and a huge facebook group that can share any issues with. Their customer service is far superior than Greenbikes so I think that’s why I want a lectric too. Also I have a little Nissan Versa and this one is about 20 pounds lighter I think than mine so it will fold and load into my back seat a lot easier
@@justinconnor6661 forgot to mention I was carrying about 10 lbs of gear.
Yes knowing that the Lectric company is based here in the USA 🇺🇸 + the ability to fold the bike was what really sealed the deal for me.
Not to mention the amazing price tag!! 🏷
Interestingly I haven’t had to reach out to the customer service not once. I’m super happy about that!
I just bought 2 of these so am I going to be happy better yet will my wife like hers? Lol
@@ronwilson5476 I have a feeling you two are going to be VERY HAPPY 😉
I'm looking at the new Lectric XPremium model which has dual batteries and a 100+ mile range. They have a trike out now as well. The new XPremium has a mid-drive motor rather than the motor in the rear wheel as well...supposed to be a better setup, never ridden a mid-drive model, the bike I currently have is a Rattan Challenger 2 mountain bike...looking at the Lectric for the folding capability so I can put the bike in the trunk of my car when I go into other towns so I can park the car and venture out into downtown areas where parking is expensive, and very limited.
I can only imaging how nice of a bike & ride the XPremium must be. If you do get one, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Thanks for watching & commenting @William Sevier 😎
@@chriselenes If I get one I'll try and post some feedback on it. Anything I think is a step up from the one I have now, and that was my first one, so I'm sure the XP series from Lectric will be an upgrade, the motor on my current bike is only 450 watts, and if I recall its only like a 30 mile range. I bought it thinking I would ride it back and forth to work, but its a mountain bike so its kind of large trying to store it at work, where the folding bikes would be great, even fit in my car when I go out of town and could ride it and venture into larger cities where parking is an issue all the time. Where I live its not bike friendly, so that don't help matters either.
Right now just trying to come up with the funds to get one ordered...once things pick back up at work in the next month or so, I'll easily get the $$$ together for one....don't really want to get it too soon its still way too cold here where I'm at to go riding anyways, so trying to wait closer to Spring anyhow, so I can actually use it LOL.
Nice beach, Lectric claims 65 miles for the Long Range 3.0 seems it was pretty much half of that on flat surface. Even though you were at 3 to 4 PA.
65 miles on pas 1
I received my Lectric XP 3 extended range 11 days ago, charged the battery full 10 days ago, then finally decided to ride it today and it won’t power on (I did top off the charge though I hadn’t powered it on so it should’ve been full) I received a $1200 piece of junk.
Make sure to connect the little connectors that are sticking out of the cable wrap. I had the same issue after charging the battery and turning the key on. My bike holds a charge even after sitting for a week or two without any use. Hope this helps @markm4833
I found out what the problem is as soon as I received the ok from Lectric (didn’t wanna possibly void my warranty) to check the connections to the controller…The battery contact plate wasn’t connected to the controller, it was as though there was no attempt to connect it.
Three rides today and so much fun using PAS 1 I easily stay at 8-10MPH on level surface.
@@mlm32809 yayyyy!!! Glad to hear you’re up and running now. Have fun bud! 🙂
Is it actually 65 mile range ? Doesnt seem it
Did you petal? Or just electric?
I pedaled and the electric motor assisted, that’s why it’s called pedal assist. You can also just use the throttle and ride fully electric, but I enjoy getting a little workout out of it. Hope this helps @jonathanrodriguez5628
@@chriselenes would you have gone farther with assist 3? With petal. I'm looking to do that
@@jonamrodriguez5628 yes absolutely, the lower the pedal assist the longer the range. The chart on the Lectric website seems to be pretty accurate. I once rode past 50 miles using pedal assist 1 & 2 on a single charge. I’m excited to go for a nice relaxing ride in a bit!! I LOVE my bike 😍
@@chriselenes thank you ! Im going to get it soon
I can't believe he said "the bike is not that heavy". That bike is very heavy... close to 70 lbs.
My 4 year old son's electric four wheeler 12 volt is 75 lbs He picks it right up and moves it around LMFAO. A 64 lb bike is nothing for an adult.
Thanks for the work you put into the video however not impressed with the trail. Too much graffiti, industrial busyness, . I made my 3.0 purchase this week. Waiting for it to arrive.
I've never heard of anyone thinking the Lectric had Torque like that is this your first ebike? If so it is the best they've had to date but this is a sub $1000 there are better trust me but enjoy.
Hello there 👋
Compared to other bikes I’ve tested, it definitely does pull my head back lol
As far as lower priced folding bikes are concerned. My nephew ordered a strange name folding ebike online. It took over a month to arrive, he never received any shipping info, battery went bad after month of use. His attempts to reach customer service have been unsuccessful.
He just ordered a Lectric XP 3.0 long range because he fell in love with mine! 😅
If you care to share any ebike recommendations, they are welcome. 😁
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Enjoying to the fullest! 🙏🚲💨
I certainly don't consider 30 miles long range
I came close to 60 miles on a single charge
using a mixture of PAS 1 &2.
I believe that the Lectric range chart is pretty accurate.
They claim 65 miles range on PAS 1. That doesn’t sound too far fetched from my testing. Hope this info helps!
Thanks for taking the time to comment 🙏
I don't know man I wouldn't consider 30 miles long range
Pedal assist 4 uses more power.😒
Each level uses more power than the other the greater the speed.
You have proved again that every E-bike manufacturer's range claim should be cut in half for a more realistic figure. Don't get me wrong, 30 miles is a very decent range and certainly more than most bike riders need. I just wish there would be a little more truth in advertising.
on the website it literally says how far it goes with each level of pedal assist.... just read. it's accurate
Jesus is coming soon ❤️ time is running out
BS i have 2 of those bikes and i ride them on a flat blacktop no hills surface in ps2 while peddling and i cant go any further than 8 miles out. If i do the battery dies on the way home and peddling this bike without the battery is brutal. This guy either has a extra powerful battery or he stop and charged it. NO WAY ghis guy traveled 15 miles one way and than back again
that is terrible mileage, surprised your praising them so much when the advertised is much much higher.
I’ve topped 50 miles on a single charge using pedal assist 1 & 2.
Their range chart is pretty accurate.
It all depends on what pedal assist is used @austin sorlien
Hope this helps! 😉
