What reviewers say
Lectric XP Lite
Owners treat the XP Lite as a value commuter: easy to fold, light enough to carry, and simple to run. Most criticism centers on the stiff ride and the single gear on hills.
- Easy folding and compact storage
- Light enough to lift into a car or up stairs
- Good brakes and throttle response for the price
- Low maintenance single-speed setup
- Harsh ride over bumps and rough pavement
- Hard work on steep hills without gears
- Range falls well short of the 80-mile claim
- Basic display and no suspension
Lectric XP4 750 Electric Bike
With 4.9 out of 5 from about 1,700 ratings, owners mostly report easy assembly, smooth power delivery and solid construction. RV owners and travelers single out the folding design, and buyers rate the gear system and pedal assist highly. The recurring gripes are the key location and the battery removal process.
Questions and answers
- Which is better for hilly commuting?
- The XP4 750. Its 750W motor, 85Nm of torque and 8-speed gearing handle climbs that the single-speed XP Lite cannot.
- Is the XP4 750 worth the extra money?
- If you ride far or on hills, yes. You get double the battery capacity, 28 mph speed, gears and a color display. For short flat trips the XP Lite covers the basics for less.
- Which is easier to carry and store?
- The XP Lite. It weighs 41 lbs with the battery removed and folds compactly. The XP4 750 also folds at the frame and stem but is heavier.
- Which has more range?
- The XP4 750, rated up to 85 miles from its 840Wh battery. The XP Lite is rated 20-40+ miles from a 9.8Ah battery.
- Do both have hydraulic brakes?
- Yes. The XP Lite has hydraulic disc brakes and the XP4 750 has 602 hydraulic brakes with 180mm rotors.
- Which fits taller riders?
- The XP Lite is listed for riders 4'8" to 6'2". The XP4 750's rider height range was not given, so check Lectric's sizing chart.
