Lectric eBikes (2026): 6 Models and Our Alternatives

Every Lectric on sale in the United States on October 4, 2026, with the price, speed, weight and payload Lectric prints for each, and the bikes and trikes on our own shelf that stand beside them.

The 6 Lectric ebike models at a glance

Lectric's lineup has changed: the XPress2 replaced the first XPress in May 2026, and the XP 3.0 and the Lectric ONE no longer have a product page. Choose the wrong model and the refund policy gives little room, because a ridden e-bike cannot go back. So the choice is made on paper, from the rows below.

Each row reads Lectric's own pages on October 4, 2026, and the prices were read again on October 11, after a Lectric sale took $100 off both XP Trike2 trims and $200 off the 720 Wh XPeak2. Prices and battery sizes come from the product pages, and the speed, weight and payload columns from the tables in Lectric's help center, which list top speed, weight and payload model by model.

Top speed is the highest pedal-assist setting in Lectric's top-speed table; each model ships limited to 20 mph or less, and on the four 28 mph models the throttle stops at 20.

Weights are with one battery fitted, as Lectric's weight table totals them. That table prints one row for the trike, 79 lb plus a 7 lb battery, and the XP Trike2 750's own page puts its larger battery at 9 lb. Load is Lectric's payload figure, rider plus cargo; the rider limit is 330 lb on five models and 220 lb on the XP Lite2.

Motor figures are the rated ones. Lectric also prints a peak for each: 819 W on the XP Lite2, 1,092 W on the 500 W XP4 and XP Trike2, and 1,310 W on every 750 W model.

Three models come in more than one battery. The XP Lite2 is $799 with 375 Wh and $999 with 672 Wh, and a Gates Carbon belt drive in place of the chain, sold in JW Black, adds $100 to either. The XPeak2 Long-Range is $1,699. The XPedition2 is $1,399 with one battery, $1,799 with two and $1,999 with two long-range ones.

Of the 37 listings, 35 could be ordered on October 4, five of them as pre-orders, and two read sold out: the XP Lite2 in Sandstorm with the smaller battery and the 500 W XP Trike2 in Glacier Blue.

Lectric's range figures run from "up to 45 miles" on the XP Lite2 to "up to 170 miles" on the XPedition2 with two long-range batteries, and the product pages of five of the six models add that range "can vary due to weight load, terrain, weather and other conditions".

Which Lectric is which

Start with what the bike has to do. The table sets Lectric's own fit figures side by side: the rider heights from its height table and the folded sizes from its dimensions table.

Folded sizes are length, width and height in Lectric's table. The two folders and the trike fold at the frame; the three full-size models stay 59 to 70 inches long.

The XP4 against the XP Lite2 is the choice between Lectric's two folding bikes. The XP4 adds a torque sensor, eight gears, a suspension fork, a rear rack that holds up to 150 lb and a 28 mph setting, and weighs 69 lb. The XP Lite2 is a single-speed with a cadence sensor at 49 lb, and its rider limit is 220 lb against 330.

The two XP4 trims share a frame. The XP4 750 raises the motor from 500 W and 55 Nm to 750 W and 85 Nm and the battery from 500 Wh to 840 Wh, for $300 more. The XPress2 comes as the Commuter, a high-step frame for riders from 5'4", and the Cruiser, a step-through from 5'2".

The models Lectric no longer lists

Four names still draw searches and no longer have a product page on Lectric's store: the XP 3.0, the XP 2.0, the Lectric ONE and the XPremium. Lectric's blog calls the earlier XPs its "legacy XP models", and the XP4 arrived on May 6, 2025.

Owners are still served. Lectric's manuals page keeps a user manual for each of them, the XP 1.0 through the Lectric ONE, and the brake recall page for the XP 3.0 is still open. If you are buying one used, read the recall section first.

Is the Lectric ONE discontinued?

Lectric's store has no product page for the ONE today, and its catalog holds no ONE bike, only six accessories made for it. Lectric introduced it on March 11, 2024 as a commuter with a Pinion C1.6i gearbox and a Gates belt drive, a 750 W motor with 85 Nm and "over 70 miles of range", "Starting at $2,199". Owners still have its manual, and the About page still lists "Lectric ONE: Consumer Reports Recommended", 2025.

What happened to the Lectric XPremium?

It has no product page on Lectric's store today, and the catalog holds nothing under its name. Lectric introduced the XPremium on April 25, 2022 as "Our First Ever Mid-Drive eBike Motor", with 500 W continuous, a dual-battery system and a 28 mph top speed, and called it its first model with hydraulic brakes. Its manual is still published.

Is the Lectric XP 2.0 still for sale?

Not on Lectric's store: it has no product page, and the catalog holds no product under its name. Lectric still publishes the XP 2.0 and XP Step-Thru 2.0 manuals, and its help center keeps a battery note for owners: "A fully charged XP 2.0 should read about 54V, and a dying battery will read 39/40V."

The first XPress, launched in April 2024, gave way to the XPress2 on May 19, 2026. Lectric's own post, XPress2 vs. XPress1, sets the two side by side.

Model by model, and what we sell beside each

Four things make the case for a Lectric, and they come first. Four of its six models unlock to 28 mph on pedal assist, every model has hydraulic brakes, each page states UL 2849 certification, and the prices start at $799. Where your ride asks for something else, these are the machines we sell.

Of 6 Lectrics, 5 matched, with ten machines we sell, model by model: the same kind of bike or trike, with a motor rated no higher and a top speed no higher. Six of the ten cost more than the Lectric beside them, two cost the same and two cost less, so each card makes its case on fit.

The XP4 folder

The XP4 is the folding bike Lectric calls "the best-selling eBike in America". Its page lists a 500 W rear hub motor with 55 Nm, a torque sensor, an 8-speed Shimano Altus drivetrain, hydraulic brakes on 180 mm rotors and 20 × 3 inch tires, at 62 lb before its 7 lb battery.

The XP4 750 keeps the frame and moves to 750 W, 85 Nm and an 840 Wh battery for $1,299. Both carry 330 lb and fold to 37 × 17 × 29 inches. If the 28 mph setting is why you are here, buy the XP4: every bike below tops out at 20 mph or less. Our Lectric XP4 review computes both versions' range by speed, hill, load and cold, and their fit by height.

VTUVIA's own photograph of the SX20 in Teal Blue, on its 20 × 4.0 inch tires.

The XP Lite2

The XP Lite2 is the light one: 49 lb with its battery, a 300 W motor, a single speed, hydraulic brakes and 20 × 2.5 inch tires, from $799. If you carry your bike up stairs or lift it into a car every day, that weight is the reason to buy it: the lightest bike named on this page weighs 63.4 lb.

Our Lectric XP Lite 2.0 review works out its range on both batteries, by speed, hill, load and cold, and its fit by height.

We name no like-for-like alternative. Among the 41 bikes and trikes we sell whose makers' figures were verified for this page, none has a motor rated under 350 W. The closest on price is the Samebike CY20 Pro at $519, and it is a different bike: a 500 W motor and seven gears, at about 68 lb, 19 lb more than the XP Lite2.

The XPress2 commuter

The XPress2 is the full-size commuter at $1,399, in a high-step Commuter frame and a step-through Cruiser. Its page lists a 750 W hub motor with 85 Nm, a 672 Wh battery, an SR SunTour fork with 80 mm of travel, an 8-speed drivetrain and 27.5 × 2.1 inch tires, at 60 lb before its 6 lb battery.

Riders choose in the settings between a torque sensor and a cadence sensor, which Lectric's page describes as "switching between a torque and cadence sensor". It unlocks to 28 mph on pedal assist.

Our XPress2 review models its range at every speed, fits the Commuter and the Cruiser by height, and reads the manual's steps for changing its class.

The XPedition2 cargo bike

The XPedition2 is the long-tail cargo bike, and its numbers are strong: a 450 lb payload, a rear rack rated for 300 lb, a 750 W motor with 85 Nm, a torque sensor and hydraulic brakes, at 65 lb before batteries. It starts at $1,399 with one 624 Wh battery and runs to $1,999 with 1,680 Wh across two.

It also unlocks to 28 mph. At $1,399 for a 450 lb payload it is the bar the two below are measured against, and each earns a look for one thing: a bigger single battery, or bigger wheels.

Our XPedition2 review computes its range on all three batteries with a passenger aboard, and reads Lectric's own rules for carrying a child or an adult.

The XP Trike2

The XP Trike2 is a folding trike with a 415 lb payload, hydraulic brakes, front and rear parking brakes and 20 × 2.5 inch tires. The 500 W trim tops out at 14 mph and cost $1,399 on October 11, 2026, during a Lectric sale. The XP Trike2 750 has 750 W, an 840 Wh battery and a 17 mph top speed, for $1,699 that day.

Both of ours stand beside the 750 trim, because each tops out at 15 mph: under its 17 and over the 14 of the 500 W trim. If you want the slower trike, or one that folds to 36.5 × 38 × 26 inches, the XP Trike2 is the one.

Our XP Trike2 review runs both trims through the range model, sizes riders from 4'11" by inseam, and quotes the manual's rules on grades and passengers.

The XPeak2 fat-tire bike

The XPeak2 is the fat-tire bike: 26 × 4 inch knobby tires, an RST fork with 80 mm of travel, a 750 W motor with 85 Nm, a torque sensor and hydraulic brakes on a 203 mm front rotor. On October 11, 2026 it cost $1,299 with a 720 Wh battery, on a Lectric sale, and $1,699 with 960 Wh, in high-step and step-through frames.

Our XPeak 2.0 review sets its range on ten measured fat tires, fits both frames by height, and reads what Lectric's manual says it may ride off road.

One bike of ours stands beside it, and it is a different shape. Most of our fat-tire shelf is listed with motors above 750 W, three bikes inside the rule were sold out at their makers that day, and our moped-style frames sit further from a hardtail than the Soletan does. Browse the shelf in our fat-tire collection.

How we choose an alternative

The rule has two halves: the motor and the speed. A bike or trike of ours stands beside a Lectric only if it has one motor rated at or under that Lectric's, and a top speed at or under it. Lectric rates its motors from 300 W on the XP Lite2 to 750 W, and its own table sets the speeds, so nothing named above is rated over 750 W.

The speed half of the rule is why the list reads the way it does. Four Lectrics reach 28 mph on pedal assist, and each bike we set beside them stops at 20 mph or prints Class 2. The 500 W XP Trike2 tops out at 14 mph, and none of our trikes read that day stops under 15, so our two stand beside the 17 mph trim.

Every motor and speed figure for our side was read on the maker's own page on October 4, 2026. Of the 41 bikes and trikes of ours read that way for this page, one is rated 350 W, seven are rated 500 W, 29 are rated 750 W and four are rated 1,000 W. Those four stay off this page.

Price, stock and kind were checked the same day. Every card's price is the maker's own US price. Every card's color was in stock at its maker. And a folder stands beside a folder, a trike beside a trike.

Ten machines from five makers passed: Eunorau, Addmotor, VTUVIA, Samebike and DWMEIGI. Where nothing passed, the table says so, as it does for the XP Lite2 and the 500 W XP Trike2.

Buying one of these from us

Each of the ten ships free within the contiguous United States, and support@redtailebikes.com answers before and after the sale. Our shipping policy has orders dispatched within 1–3 business days, with most e-bikes arriving 5–10 business days after that.

Our own return door is narrow too, and you should know it before you order. Our refund policy takes a bike back only unopened in its factory-sealed box, when you ask within 72 hours of delivery, less a 15% restocking fee and the return shipping. So ask the fit questions first. How buying from us works walks through an order from checkout to delivery.

What class each Lectric is, and how fast it goes

Lectric ships every model set as a Class 2 e-bike, limited to 20 mph or less. Lectric's help center says "the XP4, XPedition2, XPeak2, and XPress2 can be unlocked to achieve class 3 settings", which raises pedal assist to 28 mph, and that "the throttle will remain limited to 20mph regardless". The XP Lite2 and both trikes stay Class 1 or 2.

The figures are Lectric's own. The change is made in the display, and the help article that describes it adds a sentence worth reading twice: "You must check your local regulations before unlocking your bike as laws vary by state, municipality, and in some cases trail." The same article puts the throttle limit down to "federal eBike laws".

The federal definition is in 15 U.S.C. § 2085(b), which defines a low-speed electric bicycle as "a two- or three-wheeled vehicle with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of less than 750 watts (1 h.p.), whose maximum speed on a paved level surface, when powered solely by such a motor while ridden by an operator who weighs 170 pounds, is less than 20 mph".

State law decides what the 28 mph setting means on your street. California is one example. Its Vehicle Code § 312.5 defines a class 3 electric bicycle as one "equipped with a motor that provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling, that is not capable of exclusively propelling the bicycle, except as provided in paragraph (4), and that ceases to provide assistance when the bicycle reaches the speed of 28 miles per hour, and equipped with a speedometer".

Read every clause of that sentence against the bike's settings, the throttle included. § 21213 then says "A person under 16 years of age shall not operate a class 3 electric bicycle." The same section requires a helmet at any age: nobody may ride a class 3 e-bike on a street, bikeway or public path "unless that person is wearing a properly fitted and fastened bicycle helmet".

On a trail, the local authority "may prohibit, by ordinance, the operation of an electric bicycle or any class of electric bicycle on that trail" (§ 21207.5(b)).

Federal land has its own lines, and they touch the throttle. In a national park, 36 CFR 4.30(i) says "The Superintendent will designate the areas open to electric bicycles, or specific classes of electric bicycles". Where cars are not allowed, the same paragraph adds that "using the electric motor exclusively to move an electric bicycle for an extended period of time without pedaling is prohibited".

The penalty is set one part earlier. Under 36 CFR 1.3(a), a person convicted of violating those regulations "shall be subject to the criminal penalties provided under 18 U.S.C. 1865", and that statute reads "shall be imprisoned not more than 6 months, fined under this title, or both". On a park trail, pedal, and read the park's own list of open areas first.

Every state writes these rules its own way. Start with our 50-state law atlas, then our public-land e-bike guide for parks and forests, and our 750 W guide if your Lectric is one of the 750 W models.

The Lectric warranty, in its own text

Lectric covers each e-bike for one year, and the cover moves with the bike. Its warranty text runs "for the one (1) year period commencing on the original delivery date of such eBike to the first Owner" and names as covered "each owner (then-current and previous)". So a second owner inside that year can claim.

Three details help an owner. Lectric's help center says "You do not need to register your bike with Lectric eBikes in order to claim your one-year warranty." The battery is on the covered list by name. And when Lectric asks for a part back, it supplies the shipping label.

Two limits are worth planning around. Water damage is excluded, and Lectric's help center repeats it: "The warranty for all Lectric eBikes does not cover water damage." And a claim must be made inside the year, so write to Lectric as soon as a fault shows.

A longer term is sold at checkout. Lectric's help center says you may "extend your one-year warranty by purchasing another year or two" through its partner Extend, and a second article adds that the extended plan "excludes wearable parts and the battery".

What it costs to send one back

Lectric's refund policy, last revised June 4, 2026, says "Our policy is that all sales are final." You may cancel for a full refund "up until the time you receive your shipment confirmation email with tracking information". After that, a return has conditions.

The item "must be unused and in the same condition as it was when you received it", in its original packaging, and "there must be a good reason for the return (as determined by us)". The same policy says a product is not eligible "if it has been in your possession for 14 days or, if it is an eBike, it has been ridden".

Money comes off an approved return in two places. You pay the return shipping, and the refund policy adds: "You may be charged a restocking fee of up to $300 at our sole discretion". Accessories and apparel cannot be returned at all, and Lectric asks you to wait for its written authorization before sending anything. Our guide to the Lectric return policy walks through the steps, the costs, a damage claim and a warranty claim.

The safety record and the 2023 recall

Lectric has one federal recall, and it covers a model the store no longer lists. According to CPSC recall 23-789, dated September 7, 2023, the recall covers about 45,000 units: the mechanical disc brake calipers fitted front and rear to XP 3.0 e-bikes, which "can fail resulting in loss of control, posing crash and injury hazards to the rider".

The notice records "four reports of loss of braking power including two injuries that involved cuts, scrapes and a broken bone". The bikes were sold on lectricebikes.com "from November 2022 through May 2023 for between $1,000 and $1,200", and the remedy was "a free mechanical caliper repair kit" with "up to $100 towards the cost to install" it.

No current model is named. The Commission's record lists the XP 3.0 and XP Step-Thru 3.0 only. On October 4, 2026 the Commission's recall list held 10,027 records, and this is the one that names Lectric eBikes. None of its 373 product-safety warnings does.

Our Lectric recall guide shows how to check a bike's serial, what the free kit and the $100 allowance cover, and what the federal record holds on every other Lectric model.

Buying a used XP 3.0

The remedy is still open, which matters on the used market. Lectric's recall page covers XP 3.0 bikes "sold between November 1, 2022 and May 6, 2023" and says Lectric "will replace any brakes affected by this recall, regardless of whether the rider is the original owner".

Our Lectric XP 3.0 review walks through the other checks before you pay for one, the battery, the key and the warranty, and lists the parts Lectric still sells for it.

Ask the seller for the order date and the serial number, which is engraved on the head tube. Then call the recall hotline, 877-479-5422, which the recall page lists as open Tuesday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Pacific, or write to contact@lectricebikes.com. After registration, the page says, "Within 2-6 weeks, a brake kit will be shipped to you, free of charge."

One detail avoids a wrong turn. Lectric also ran a hydraulic brake upgrade program from May 16 to July 31, 2023, and its page is plain that it was separate: "The mechanical brake replacement is the CPSC-approved remedy for the recall." It adds that "The only brakes that need to be replaced are the original brakes that came with your XP 3.0."

Riding in the rain

Lectric rates its electrics against water and still tells you to take care. Its help center gives the XP Lite2, XPedition2 and XPeak2 an IP rating of 65 and the XP4, XP Trike2 and XPress2 IP-X5, and adds: "The electrical components on the bike are not waterproof." Its advice for wet conditions is caution: braking takes longer and the tires may slip in a turn. Deep water is a risk the warranty leaves with you.

UL certification, model by model

Each of Lectric's six models is stated as certified on its own product page. The XP4's page is typical: "The Lectric XP4 is certified to UL 2849. Additionally, the XP4's lithium-ion battery is certified to UL 2271." Lectric's blog explains the pair as covering "both the battery and the entire electrical system".

These are Lectric's statements, and each of the 37 product pages prints its own under "Safety Certified", as the XP4's page does. If your building, insurer or employer asks for the certificate itself, write to contact@lectricebikes.com for the certificate number before you order, and look for the certification mark on the bike and the battery when they arrive.

Frame testing is stated too. The XP4's page says "A US-based bicycle testing lab put the XP4 through the rigorous ISO 4210 standard testing".

Who makes Lectric, and where

Lectric eBikes is a Phoenix, Arizona company that launched on May 30, 2019. Its own account dates "the start of the most affordable and adventurous eBike brand out there" to that day and names Levi Conlow as "co-founder and CEO". Its About page lists Robby Deziel beside him as the second founder.

The story Lectric tells starts in Minnesota. Its anniversary page says "It all started 5 years ago in Lakeville, Minnesota when we wanted to make our parents an ebike they could actually afford", and its help center says "Our headquarters is located in Phoenix, AZ".

The legal name on the federal record is Lectric eBikes LLC, the importer named on the 2023 recall notice. Lectric reports its size in bikes and riders. Its five-year anniversary page counts "over 450,000 eBikes sold in our 5-year existence", and on October 4, 2026 the banner across its store read "700k+ Happy Riders", while its retail-store page says "over 750K riders".

Where are Lectric ebikes made?

The federal record answers it for one model. The CPSC notice lists "Manufactured In: China" for the XP 3.0 and names Lectric eBikes LLC, of Phoenix, Arizona, as the importer.

Lectric's product pages, help center and blog name no country for the six current models. Its support is in the United States, in its words "our US-based support team". If the country of manufacture matters to your purchase, ask at contact@lectricebikes.com before you order.

Where you can buy one

Lectric sells direct with free shipping, in Best Buy stores, and through partner shops. Within the United States it ships to the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia, and its shipping policy says orders are "usually shipped by us within 2-10 business days".

Its locations page offers a locator to "Test Ride, Rent, or Buy a Lectric eBike with one of our trusted partners", and on October 4, 2026 that locator held 206 locations: 179 tagged Test Ride, 151 Retail Store and 41 Rent, across 43 states and the District of Columbia. Lectric's product pages carry a "500+ Bike Shops" badge; the locator is the list you can search.

Our list of Lectric dealers by state prints all 206 with their cities and phone numbers, beside the 507 US locations on Lectric's service map.

Best Buy is for buying. The same page says "you cannot test ride a Lectric eBike at Best Buy locations". Lectric's own store, Lectric Rides, is at 15250 Hayden Rd, Suite 2, in Scottsdale, Arizona, open Wednesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and its phone is 602-610-0170. Lectric's help center adds that the Phoenix headquarters "is no longer open for retail shopping or test rides".

A test ride is the strongest reason to buy a Lectric locally, because a ridden bike cannot be returned. Our guide to where to buy an e-bike covers buying in person and buying online, and our shop directory lists verified shops by city.

Customer service: phone, email and hours

Lectric answers at 602-715-0907 and contact@lectricebikes.com. Its contact page gives call center hours of Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Pacific, closed on weekends. For a repair, its service page asks owners to "reach out our customer support team prior to contacting any partnered shops".

Lectric publishes a military discount and a financing route. Military members, veterans and their families get "$50 off any Lectric eBike model" after verification, and financing runs through Affirm, at "0-36% APR based on credit" in the help center's words.

Reputation and reliability signals

Two sets of numbers exist, and they measure different things. Lectric shows a 4.9 average on each model's page from reviews collected on its own store, and Trustpilot, an outside platform, showed 4.4 from 5,364 reviews on October 4, 2026. Read both, and read the low-star reviews for the model you want.

The store totals are counted by model family, so the two XP4 trims share one figure. Trustpilot's profile adds two facts about how the company uses it: Lectric "invites their customers to review, whether positive or negative", and it had "Replied to 100% of negative reviews".

Lectric also lists its own recognitions. Its About page names "XP4: Best Folding Electric Bike Overall", 2025, "Lectric ONE: Consumer Reports Recommended", 2025, and "XPeak 2.0: Men's Health Tech Award", 2025.

Before you buy a Lectric: the checklist

Run these seven checks before you pay for a Lectric: frame, fit, the speed setting, a test ride, the delivery date, water and, on a used XP 3.0, the recall. Each links to the section of this page with the numbers behind it.

1. Match the frame to the job first: folder, trike, commuter, fat-tire or cargo (which Lectric is which).
2. Check your height and your load against Lectric's tables, and the 220 lb rider limit on the XP Lite2 (the lineup).
3. Decide about 28 mph before you unlock it, and read your state's class rules (class and speed).
4. Ride one first if you can. A ridden bike cannot be returned (returns, where to buy).
5. Write the delivery date down. The one-year warranty starts that day (warranty).
6. Keep it out of standing water. Water damage is excluded from the warranty (warranty).
7. Buying a used XP 3.0? Call the recall hotline with the serial number (recall).

The honest ledger

The record first, then fit. Seven things Lectric's own documents and the federal record show, each linked to its section, and six situations where another page or another bike serves you better.

Green flags

• Prices from $799 to $1,999 across six models, with speed, weight and payload tables published for each.
• Hydraulic brakes on every model, and a torque sensor on five of the six.
• UL 2849 and UL 2271 stated on every product page.
• A one-year warranty that passes to the next owner, with the battery on the covered list.
• One federal recall, on a retired model, with the remedy still open to any owner.
• 206 partner locations in 43 states and DC, plus Best Buy.
• The warranty, refund and shipping texts are published in full, and the refund and shipping policies carry their revision date.

Who should read something else first

Six situations, each with a place to go next.

Frequently asked questions

Are Lectric ebikes good?

On the public record, yes. Lectric lists six models with published tables for speed, weight and payload, states UL 2849 and UL 2271 on each product page, fits hydraulic brakes across the range, and backs each bike with a one-year warranty that passes to the next owner. The limits to weigh are a return policy for unused bikes only and a warranty that excludes water damage.

Who makes Lectric ebikes?

Lectric eBikes LLC, of Phoenix, Arizona. Lectric dates its launch to May 30, 2019 and names Levi Conlow as co-founder and CEO, and its About page lists Robby Deziel as the second founder. The same company is the importer on the federal recall record.

Where are Lectric ebikes made?

The one federal record that names a country lists China: CPSC recall 23-789 gives "Manufactured In: China" for the XP 3.0 and names Lectric eBikes LLC, of Phoenix, Arizona, as the importer. If you are looking for a bike made in the USA, ask Lectric about the model you want at contact@lectricebikes.com before you order.

Where is Lectric located?

In Phoenix, Arizona. Lectric's help center says "Our headquarters is located in Phoenix, AZ", and its refund policy gives a Phoenix return address. Its retail store, Lectric Rides, is in Scottsdale at 15250 Hayden Rd, Suite 2, where you can test ride its e-bikes from Wednesday to Sunday.

How fast do Lectric ebikes go?

Each one ships limited to 20 mph or less. Lectric's top-speed table gives 28 mph on pedal assist for the XP4, XPress2, XPeak2 and XPedition2 once you change the setting, with the throttle held at 20 mph. The XP Lite2 tops out at 20 mph, the XP Trike2 at 14 mph and the XP Trike2 750 at 17 mph.

What class are Lectric ebikes?

Lectric ships each one set as Class 2. Its top-speed table lists the XP4, XPress2, XPeak2 and XPedition2 as "Class 1, 2, or 3", and the XP Lite2 and both trikes as "Class 1 or 2". Before you use the 28 mph setting, read your state's rule: in California, for one, a rider under 16 may not operate a class 3 e-bike.

How much do Lectric ebikes cost?

From $799 to $1,999 on October 11, 2026. The XP Lite2 starts at $799, the XP4 at $999, the XP4 750 and the XPeak2 at $1,299, the XPress2, the XP Trike2 and the single-battery XPedition2 at $1,399, and the XP Trike2 750 at $1,699; the XPeak2 and both trike prices were Lectric sale prices that day. The top price is the XPedition2 with two long-range batteries.

How much does a Lectric ebike weigh?

From 49 lb to 86 lb with a battery fitted, in Lectric's weight table. The XP Lite2 is 49 lb, the XPress2 66 lb, the XP4 69 lb, the XP4 750 71 lb, the XPedition2 74 lb, the XPeak2 75 lb and the XP Trike2 86 lb. If you lift your bike daily, start with the XP Lite2.

Do Lectric bikes have a warranty?

Yes, one year from the delivery date. The warranty text covers a named list of parts that includes the motor, the controller and the battery, and it extends to "each owner (then-current and previous)", so it follows the bike if you sell it inside the year. Wear parts, accessories and water damage are excluded, and you do not need to register the bike to claim.

Can I return a Lectric ebike?

Only if you have not ridden it. Lectric's refund policy says "all sales are final", then allows a return of an unused item in its original packaging with "a good reason", inside 14 days, with return shipping at your cost and "a restocking fee of up to $300". You can cancel for a full refund until the shipment confirmation email arrives. Our guide to the Lectric return policy has the steps.

Is there a recall on Lectric bikes?

One. CPSC recall 23-789 of September 7, 2023 covered about 45,000 units of the mechanical brake calipers fitted to XP 3.0 bikes sold from November 2022 through May 2023, after four reports and two injuries. The remedy is a free replacement kit, and Lectric's recall page still takes registrations at 877-479-5422. No current model is named in it.

Are Lectric ebikes UL certified?

Lectric states so on every product page. The XP4's page reads "The Lectric XP4 is certified to UL 2849. Additionally, the XP4's lithium-ion battery is certified to UL 2271", and the other five models carry the same two statements. If your building or insurer wants the certificate itself, ask Lectric for it before you order.

Are Lectric ebikes waterproof?

They are rated against water, and Lectric's own answer is still no. Its help center gives three models an IP rating of 65 and three IP-X5, then says "The electrical components on the bike are not waterproof" and that the warranty "does not cover water damage". Lectric's advice for wet roads is caution, because braking takes longer and the tires may slip.

Do Lectric bikes come assembled?

Nearly. The XP4's page describes "One-Minute, Tool-Free Assembly": you unfold the stem, insert the handlebars and attach the pedals and display. The XPeak2 takes longer, "Less Than Five Minutes" in Lectric's words, because you fit the front wheel and bolt on the handlebars.

Where can I buy a Lectric ebike?

From lectricebikes.com with free shipping, at select Best Buy stores, or through a partner shop. Lectric's locator held 206 partner locations on October 4, 2026, 179 of them tagged for test rides. Best Buy is a place to buy, so use the locator when you want to ride before you pay.

Does Lectric offer a military discount?

Yes. Lectric's military discount page offers "$50 off any Lectric eBike model" to active duty, National Guard, reservists, veterans, retirees and military family, verified through SheerID. You receive a one-time code, and it can be combined with a seasonal sale if you contact support after ordering.

Which Lectric ebike is best?

It depends on the job. For carrying up stairs, the 49 lb XP Lite2; for a folder that does most things, the XP4; for a full-size commute, the XPress2. For dirt and sand, the XPeak2; for children and cargo, the XPedition2; and for three wheels, the XP Trike2. Lectric's rider heights and folded sizes for all six sit side by side in our fit table.

What happened to the Lectric XP 3.0?

It no longer has a product page on Lectric's store. The XP4, introduced on May 6, 2025 as "the next generation", is the XP on the store today. Lectric still publishes the XP 3.0's manuals and keeps its brake recall page open. If you find one used, check the recall with the serial number before you pay.

What is an alternative to the Lectric XP Lite?

On weight, the XP Lite2 stands alone here: at 49 lb it is 14 lb lighter than the lightest bike we name on this page. On price, the Samebike CY20 Pro is $519 with a 500 W motor and seven gears, at about 68 lb. If you want a folder with more range, read the Eunorau META20.

Lectric vs Aventon: which is better?

Set the two side by side on what matters to your ride. Lectric's six models run $799 to $1,999 with a one-year warranty, and three of them fold. Our Aventon profile has Aventon's 16 models with their prices, classes, warranty and dealer network, read from Aventon's own pages, and our Aventon vs Lectric comparison sets five model pairs side by side on price, range, warranty and returns.

The bottom line

Lectric's prices start at $799, and its paperwork is complete. It prints the speed, weight, payload and rider height of all six models, states UL certification on each, publishes its warranty and refund terms in full, and has one recall, on a retired model, with the remedy still open. If you can ride one first, or you want 28 mph or the lowest price, buy the Lectric.

If your ride asks for something else, start with three of ours. For a step-through folder on 4-inch tires, the VTUVIA SX20 at $1,299, the XP4 750's own price. For a commuter with a larger battery, the Zeal XT8 at $1,399. For a cargo bike with 960 Wh in one battery, the Addmotor Graoopro at $1,499.

Take your time. Send us your height, your inseam and your ride at support@redtailebikes.com, and we will tell you whether one of these fits or whether the Lectric is the better call.

Limitations

1. Every Lectric figure here is Lectric's published claim, read on its own pages on October 4, 2026, with its prices read again on October 11. Prices, motors, batteries, speeds, weights, payloads, rider heights and ranges are the maker's. Each range is an "up to" figure, and the product pages of five of the six models say it varies with load, terrain and weather.
2. We sell the alternatives named here. Read the fit rows of the ledger with the same care as the green flags.
3. Lectric's own pages disagree in four places, and this page follows its help-center tables. The XPress2's product pages give the bike 60 lb with a 6 lb battery removed in one row and 55 lb with an 8 lb battery removed in another. A help article on range prints 634 Wh for the 48 V 13 Ah battery that the product pages print as 624 Wh. The store's FAQ page gives 12 or 20 mph for pedal assist as shipped where the help center gives 14 or 20. And the compare page still describes a Phoenix showroom that the help center says has moved to Scottsdale.
4. Stock is Lectric's own stock line on one day. On October 4, 2026, two of 37 listings read sold out with their buttons disabled, and five read pre-order: the XPedition2 Single and the XPress2 Cruiser in both colors, and the XP4 750 in grey.
5. Certification is reported as Lectric states it. The product pages state UL 2849 and UL 2271 in text and link no certificate document, and UL's own registry needs an account and was not read. The statements are not independently confirmed here.
6. Country of manufacture rests on one federal record. The CPSC notice covers the XP 3.0 only. For the current models we read 20 store pages, three policies, the recall page, 287 posts on the US blog, 111 help-center articles, the 367 product records in the catalog and the 37 product pages, and none names a country.
7. The recall search has a date. The Commission's recall list held 10,027 records, the newest dated September 24, 2026, and its warning list 373 rows, both retrieved October 4, 2026. The CPSC's site refused our request for the notice itself, so the notice was read in the Internet Archive's capture of April 14, 2026, and the same record was read in the Commission's database that day.
8. The location count is Lectric's locator on one day. It held 206 rows; the three tags overlap and are not summed; and one row gives no state. The "500+ Bike Shops" badge on the product pages is Lectric's own figure and was not counted by us.
9. Review totals are reported, not audited. The store figures are family totals from Lectric's product pages, and the Trustpilot figure is that platform's own, read in a browser on October 4, 2026.
10. Our alternatives are specification-verified. Each was read at its maker's US store on October 4, 2026 for price, stock by color and the figures on its card; the CY20 Pro's price again on October 30, 2026, with Samebike's Black Friday code BF80. Samebike prints metric figures, converted here. Eunorau prints two weights for the MAX-CARGO 2.0, 85 lb and 78 lb, and the card uses 85. Watt-hours for five batteries are computed from the volts and amp-hours their makers print.
11. The law examples are examples. California is one state of fifty, and each quoted provision was read on October 4, 2026. Your state and your trail may differ.
12. What changed from the August 28, 2026 version of this profile. That version was read during a Labor Day promotion and gave the XPeak2 at $1,399 to $1,599; Lectric's pages read $1,499 and $1,699 on October 4, and $1,299 and $1,699 during an October sale. It left the XP Lite2's top speed blank, where Lectric gives 20 mph, and printed one speed for the XP Trike2, 17 mph, where the 500 W trim is 14 mph. It listed the first XPeak and XPedition, whose pages no longer open. It stated a place of design and a place of manufacture for the bikes; Lectric's pages today state neither. And it said we had no stake in how you read it; we sell the alternatives named here.

This profile expires when any of these change: Lectric changes a price, a specification, its lineup or a policy; a new CPSC recall or warning names Lectric; the recall remedy closes; or one of our alternatives changes price or sells out at its maker.
