Is the XP Lite 2.0 worth it over the original XP Lite?

Yes if you want hydraulic brakes, a UL 2849 certified system and the same light fold. The original is cheaper but has mechanical brakes and an older electrical setup.

How far can it really go on a charge?

Lectric rates the 375 Wh pack at up to 45 miles and the long-range pack at up to 80. Expect well under those figures at full 20 mph throttle, closer to 20 to 25 miles on the standard battery.

It handles short, moderate grades with pedal assist. The 28Nm hub motor and single-speed gearing struggle on long or steep climbs, so plan routes accordingly.

What size rider does it fit?

Lectric lists 4'8" to 6'2" with a 275 lb payload. The step-over frame is tall, so shorter riders should check standover clearance before buying.

Does it come with fenders and a rack?

The base XP Lite 2.0 is a bare commuter build. Check the specific listing for fenders, racks or a long-range battery, since Lectric sells those as options.

Lectric discounts most around major sales and model changeovers. Watch the price history on this page rather than buying at full list.

Our take on the Lectric XP Lite 2.0

The XP Lite 2.0 is Lectric's lightest folding ebike, around 46 lb with a 6000-series aluminum step-over frame. It runs a 300W rear hub motor (819W peak) to a 20 mph Class 2 limit, with a 375 Wh battery rated up to 45 miles and an optional long-range pack good for up to 80. It folds to 36 x 27 x 16 inches and fits riders 4'8" to 6'2" up to 275 lb. It is a rigid, paved-road commuter, not a trail bike.
