Lectric XPeak 2.0 Review (2026): Range, Fit, Off Road

The Lectric XPeak 2.0, sold as the XPeak2, read from Lectric's own listings, manuals, posts and help center on October 5, 2026: two frames and two batteries, its range by speed, hill, load and cold, its fit by your height, what it is built to ride off road, its class and the law, and the full-suspension bike we sell beside it.

By Milad Ghobadibeygvand, BScN (Western University, 2014), Redtail eBikes. Verified October 5, 2026. Part of our Lectric eBikes profile, with our XP4 review, our XPedition 2.0 review and the Lectric recall guide.

The Lectric XPeak 2.0, on paper

The XPeak2 is Lectric's off-road fat-tire bike: a 750 W rear hub rated for 1,310 W peak and 85 Nm, a torque sensor, eight gears, an 80 mm RST fork and hydraulic brakes with a 203 mm front rotor, on 26 × 4 inch knobby tires, with a 720 Wh or a 960 Wh battery.

Lectric sells it in four listings, a High-Step and a Step-Thru frame, each with the standard or the Long-Range pack. The rows below come from those listings as a US shopper saw them on October 5, 2026; the frames differ only in size and color, set out in the next section.

Three of Lectric's documents give the XPeak2 a torque sensor. The spec tab describes "A unique torque sensor combined with PWR+ technology", the 2.0 launch post says it "is upgraded with an industry-leading torque sensor", and the manual's settings table (page 44) names setting P11 "Normal Torque Multiplier" or "Increased Torque Multiplier".

Lectric's help-center article on PWR still lists the "Lectric XPeak2" among its "eBikes with Lectric PWR™", a system it describes as "a highly-capable cadence-based system underneath". Plan on the torque sensor the listing, the post and the manual describe, and ask Lectric to confirm it in writing if the sensor decides your purchase.

Which XPeak2: High-Step or Step-Thru, standard or Long-Range

Choose the frame by your height and inseam and the battery by your rides: the High-Step fits 5'4" to 6'5" over a 29-inch top tube, the Step-Thru 5'2" to 6'3" with a 19.5-inch step-over, and the Long-Range adds 240 Wh for $400.

Each frame comes in one color, the same size guide on both of its listings:

On October 5, 2026 Lectric's own stock line read the same on all four listings, and each showed an "Add to cart" button:

The standard listings carry a sale row, "Bike Discount: $200 Previously listed at $1499, now marked down to $1299!", and include four accessories free under their struck-through $1,835. The Long-Range listings carry no sale and include five accessories free under $2,064:

Lectric values four of the five above what they sell for on their own pages. Added up for each battery:

The free seat post is Lectric's Step-Thru Suspension Seat Post on all four listings, the High-Step's included, and its own listing names both XPeak 2.0 frames. The Long-Range's fifth item, the bottle holder, lists at $29 on the bike and on its own page alike.

How far the XPeak2 goes: range by speed, hill, load and cold

At 15 mph on the throttle with 180 lb aboard on flat ground at 77 °F, our model gives the XPeak2 about 43 miles on its 720 Wh pack and 57 on the 960 Wh Long-Range.

Lectric's manual (page 49) sets out the test behind its figures: flat ground, few starts and stops, few bumps, no added cargo, little wind, "Top speed at 20 mph", a rider near 180 lb, about 75 °F and "Lectric 26x4 in. ~20 PSI". It prints one figure per battery:

The two columns describe different rides. Lectric's figure is an "up to" for each battery that does not say how much throttle was used, while the model holds a steady 20 mph on the throttle alone.

On the first XPeak, the 1.0 manual did split the same test by throttle (page 37): up to 20 miles on pure throttle from a 48 V, 14 Ah pack, 33.6 Wh a mile, against 24.4 Wh a mile in our model of the XPeak2 at 20 mph.

Ride it the way that test did, at an even 20 mph on the throttle, and plan on 30 miles from the standard pack in the model, or fewer if you start, stop and climb. Three steps find your ride:

1. Find your usual speed in the speed table, and your battery in the table under it.
2. Pedaling? Use the effort table. Climbing? Use the hills table.
3. Then take off what your load and the weather cost, from the load and cold tables.

Every number here comes from Martin and colleagues' road-power equation run on Lectric's own specifications, with its conditions beside it. You can check any row against the worked formula, and the model's assumptions are listed under Limitations.

How much does speed cost the XPeak2?

More than anything else you control: on the throttle the standard XPeak2 covers about 60 miles at 10 mph and 30 at 20 mph in our model. The power to push air rises with the cube of your speed, and the model gives an upright rider and bike a drag area of 0.64 m². The rows hold 180 lb aboard, flat ground and still air at 77 °F.

The speed table above as bars: full-charge miles on the throttle, 180 lb aboard, flat ground, 77 °F.

The Long-Range pack carries a third more energy and goes a third farther at every speed:

Each speed's two bars, the standard 720 Wh pack and the Long-Range 960 Wh, from the table above, for 180 lb on flat ground at 77 °F.

Run the Long-Range with a quarter held back and it covers about what the standard pack covers run flat: 43 miles at 15 mph each. The throttle tops out at 20 mph, and in the model the motor alone holds about 24.3 mph on the flat, so the Class 3 setting's 28 mph needs your legs.

Does pedaling stretch the battery?

Yes: an easy 75 W of your own at 15 mph takes the standard XPeak2 from 43 miles to 68 in the model, and a steady 150 W to 146. What your legs put in at a steady speed, the motor no longer draws from the pack, and the pack saves a little more than you give, because the motor and battery lose part of everything they deliver.

The XPeak2 shifts through eight gears, an 11-32 freewheel behind a 46-tooth chainring, per its spec tab, and its torque sensor follows how hard you press.

Conditions: 180 lb, flat ground, 77 °F. With the motor off, the model has 75 W carry the XPeak2 at about 9.0 mph and 150 W at about 13.1 mph on its knobby tires, which is why the 150 W column stretches so far at 15 mph.

What does a climb cost?

A steady 4% climb at 10 mph empties the standard pack in about 16 miles on the throttle, or 23 with an easy 75 W from you. Each 1,000 feet gained at 4% costs about 158 Wh on the throttle beyond the same miles on the flat, more than a fifth of the 720 Wh pack.

The hills table as bars: miles from a full charge at 10 mph on the throttle, 180 lb aboard, 77 °F.

Each grade is climbed at a steady 10 mph with 180 lb aboard at 77 °F. The model holds the motor to its rated 750 W; a short, steep pitch may draw on the 1,310 W peak Lectric prints, at a cost to the pack.

On the Long-Range the same 4% climb lasts about 21 miles on the throttle. On a long climb, shift down early and pedal, as Lectric's own off-road post advises: "Let pedal assist support — not replace — your effort."

How much does your load cost?

Loading the XPeak2 to its 330 lb limit takes the standard pack from 43 miles to 34 at 15 mph on the flat, and from 30 to 25 at 20 mph. Your load is you, what you wear and carry, and anything strapped to the rack. Conditions: throttle only, 77 °F.

The load table as bars: miles at 15 mph on flat ground, throttle only, 77 °F.

On a hill, weight costs far more than on the flat, because every pound is lifted: up 8% at 10 mph the model gives 4 miles at 280 lb, and at 330 lb the climb is past its rated motor. Lectric's ceiling is in the manual (page 10): "NEVER exceed the maximum total weight limit of 330 lbs, (150 kg). The rear rack can hold a maximum of 60 lbs, (27 kg)."

How much range does winter take?

About a fifth: at 32 °F the model gives the standard pack 34 miles at 15 mph on the throttle, against 43 at 77 °F, and the Long-Range 45 against 57. Cold lithium cells give up less of their stored energy. The model takes the loss from McMaster University's measurements of LG cells, with the spread of the other cell studies read in brackets.

At 14 °F the pack is below Lectric's floor. The manual (page 52) says to "Always charge your battery in temperatures between 32°F – 113°F". Lectric sells a $39 thermal sleeve and a $169 Winter Package for the XPeak 2.0, listed with the parts below.

Do knobby tires cost range?

Yes: on the median of ten 26 × 4 inch fat tires measured on a drum, the XPeak2 covers 43 miles at 15 mph, against 50 on the lowest-drag tire of the ten and 39 on the highest. The three cases come from Bicycle Rolling Resistance's drum figures for 26 × 4.00 tires.

Lectric ran its own test near 20 psi (manual, page 49), and the manual's checklist asks for "the recommended pressure range printed on the tire sidewall" (page 10). For loose ground, Lectric's off-road post makes a trade: "Lowering tire pressure slightly (within recommended range) can increase grip and comfort on looser surfaces."

Lectric's 60 and 80 miles, as a steady ride

Both of Lectric's figures work out to 12 Wh a mile: in the model that is a steady 10.2 mph on the throttle alone, 15.9 mph with an easy 75 W from you, or about 18.7 mph with 150 W. All three speeds hold 180 lb aboard on flat ground at 77 °F.

So Lectric's "up to 60 miles" and "up to 80 miles" describe a gentle pace, or real pedaling at a brisk one.

The range formula, worked through

Divide the battery's energy by the energy one mile costs: the power to roll, push air and climb, divided by speed, plus the motor's and the battery's losses. The power at the rear wheel follows Martin and colleagues' 1998 model:

P = v × [ m × g × (Crr × cos θ + sin θ) + ½ × ρ × CdA × v² ]

Here v is your speed, m the rider, cargo and bike together, g gravity, θ the slope, Crr the tires' rolling resistance, ρ the air's density and CdA the drag area of rider and bike.

Worked example: 15 mph on the flat, throttle only, with 180 lb aboard the standard XPeak2.

1. Mass. 180 lb of rider plus the 75 lb bike is 255 lb, or 115.67 kg.
2. Rolling. 15 mph is 6.7056 m/s; speed × mass × gravity × rolling resistance = 6.7056 × 115.67 × 9.807 × 0.01054 = 80.17 W.
3. Air. Air resistance at that speed: ½ × 1.1839 kg/m³ × 0.64 m² × (6.7056 m/s)³ = 114.23 W.
4. At the wheel. 80.17 W + 114.23 W = 194.40 W.
5. The motor. With 750 W, a 1,310 W peak, 85 Nm and a 24 A controller published but no efficiency, the model uses Bafang's RM G0H0 hub at its 80% floor, rebased to 48 V, 750 W and Lectric's 28 mph; at this load it runs at 79.65% and draws 194.40 ÷ 0.79645 = 244.08 W.
6. The battery. Drawing 244.08 W, the pack delivers 96.588% of its cells' energy, so the cells must supply 244.08 ÷ 0.96588 = 252.70 W.
7. Per mile. 252.70 W ÷ 15 mph = 16.847 Wh a mile.
8. Range. 48 V × 15 Ah = 720 Wh, and 720 ÷ 16.847 = 42.7 miles on a full charge, 32.1 with a quarter kept back.

For the wheel, the model takes the 26 × 4 tire's nominal 30.01 inches; Lectric's display comes set to a tire size of 29.2 (manual, page 44) and reckons your speed and distance from that (Limitations item 3).

Will the XPeak2 fit you? Two frames, two windows

Lectric sizes the High-Step for riders 5'4" to 6'5" over a 29-inch standover and the Step-Thru for riders 5'2" to 6'3" with a 19.5-inch step-over; each comes in one size, its saddle 34 to 46 inches above the ground on the High-Step and 33 to 45 on the Step-Thru.

Those figures are each frame's size guide, the same on both of its listings, and the help center's rider-height table prints the same windows and standovers.

Check your frame in three steps:

1. Check that your height falls inside one frame's window above.
2. Measure your inseam barefoot, from the floor to your crotch, against the standover tables.
3. Take a starting saddle height from the saddle tables and settle it with the heel check when you first ride.

How high should my saddle go?

For a typical 5'8" rider, about 35.6 inches from the pedal axle to the saddle's top on either frame, with the crank in line with the seat tube; about 41.0 inches at 6'4" on the High-Step and 32.2 inches at 5'2" on the Step-Thru.

That is 109% of your inseam, the method Peveler and colleagues (2005) measured against a target knee angle, run here on the 6,068 bodies of the US Army's ANSUR II survey.

At each height, the inseam column covers the middle 90% of the surveyed riders, and the saddle columns start from that height's median inseam.

The High-Step's table stops at 6'4": the survey holds 17 riders at 6'5", too few to describe. Lectric measures its seat-to-ground figures from the floor; converting them to a pedal distance would take a crank length and bottom-bracket height its pages leave out, so measure from the pedal.

Can I put my feet down at a stop?

On the Step-Thru, at every height in its window: the typical 5'2" inseam is 29.5 inches, 10 inches above its 19.5-inch step-over. On the High-Step, the typical 5'4" inseam is 30.5 inches, 1.5 above the 29-inch top tube, and 96 of 100 riders that height clear it.

The tables count, at each height, how many of 100 survey riders clear each frame's standover barefoot, by the size guide and by the help center.

At the bottom of the High-Step's window, the Step-Thru takes the top tube out of the question at the same price.

How upright will I sit?

Lectric's figures do not fix your lean: both frames put the grips 42 inches above the ground on a 23.6-inch bar. The size guides list a "Handlebar Reach" of 17 to 21 inches on the High-Step and 20 to 23 on the Step-Thru without saying where it is measured from, and neither prints a seat-tube angle or bottom-bracket height, so your lean cannot be computed from them.

How much weight rests on my wrists?

Not computed here, because hand load turns on where the grips sit relative to the saddle, and Lectric's figures do not place the grips. The size guides give their height, 42 inches on both frames, and the bar's width, 23.6 inches.

For scale, Carahalios (2015) measured 15% of body weight on the bars with 10 racing cyclists' hands on road-bike brake hoods; treat that as a road-bike figure, not the XPeak2's. On rough ground, Lectric's off-road post asks you to "Stand lightly on the pedals, knees and elbows bent."

How do I set the saddle when it arrives?

Lectric's manual gives the heel check on page 18: "Sit on the seat", "Place one heel on a pedal" and "Rotate the crank until the pedal with your heel on it is in the down position". Raise or lower the post until that leg is straight with your heel on the pedal, then ride with the ball of your foot over the axle.

Of the 19 cyclists Peveler and colleagues measured, the heel method put 70% inside the recommended 25 to 35 degrees of knee bend. Move the post a quarter inch at a time, and heed the manual's line on the same page: "ALWAYS insert seat post past the minimum insertion point".

The fit arithmetic

Inseam × 1.09 = the distance from the pedal axle to the saddle's top, measured with the crank pointing along the seat tube. For a 5'8" rider with that height's median inseam of 32.64 inches (32.6 in the standover tables), 1.09 × 32.64 = 35.6 inches. LeMond's 88.3%, measured from the crank axle, gives the same rider 28.8 inches.

The right-hand pair of saddle columns brackets the formula: 106% is the bottom of the range Ferrer-Roca and colleagues (2012) call recommended, and 110.4% the top of the range their own equation proposes.

Off road: what the XPeak2 is built to ride

Gravel, dirt roads and hard-packed trails with both wheels on the ground: Lectric rates the frame to the ISO 4210-10 eMTB standard, and its manual rules out jumps and downhill mountain biking.

The spec tab says "A US-based bicycle testing lab put the XPeak through the rigorous eMTB safety standard testing process to prove the frame, fork, stem, and handlebars can handle off-road conditions ride after ride. The XPeak is rated to ISO 4210-10 eMTB."

The manual (page 6) draws the line. Its intended use "includes off-road use such as riding on gravel trails, hard packed dirt trails, and other surfaces where both wheels remain in contact with the ground at all times", and it adds: "Your bicycle is NOT INTENDED for mountain bicycle use including any kind of jumping or downhill mountain biking."

The trail kit is an 80 mm RST Renegade fork, 26 × 4 inch knobby tires with Slime, a 203 mm front and 180 mm rear rotor on hydraulic brakes, and an IP65 rating for the electrical parts. Lectric's off-road post of March 9, 2026 adds the habits that go with them:

1. On gravel, "Smooth throttle input": "rolling on power is better than punching it."
2. In mud, "Keep momentum" and "Feather the brakes."
3. In sand, "Keep speed steady. Too slow and the front wheel wanders."
4. Afterward, "Rinse off dirt (avoid high-pressure spraying bearings)", then "Dry and relube the chain" and "Wipe suspension stanchions clean."

How fast it goes, its class, and where you may ride

The XPeak2 ships as a Class 2 bike, pedal assist and throttle to 20 mph; one setting raises pedal assist to 28 mph, Class 3, and the throttle stays at 20. Lectric's manual (page 13) says "Your bicycle comes as a Class 2 bicycle by default", and its class table (page 46) gives Class 3 "28 mph" with pedal assist and "20 mph" on the throttle.

The change is made in the settings menu, per page 47: hold the plus and minus buttons together until the screen reads "P1", go to setting "P08" and "change this value from 32 to 45", then hold both buttons again to leave.

The same page asks you to peel the Class 2 label "to reveal the Class 3 label located underneath", and warns: "ALWAYS check your local laws and regulations to determine if it is lawful to ride Class 3 eBikes on public roads before increasing your bicycle's top speed."

The throttle has cruise control. The manual (page 48) says "Cruise control can only be engaged when using the throttle", "The minimum speed cruise control can be set to is 8mph", and "Pull either brake lever to disengage Cruise Control."

Is the 28 mph setting legal where you ride?

It depends on your state, and California shows what the throttle changes. Under California Vehicle Code § 312.5(a)(3), a class 3 bike's motor "provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling" and is "not capable of exclusively propelling the bicycle, except as provided in paragraph (4)": power alone is allowed only as "start assistance or a walk mode".

The XPeak2's manual describes no California setting, and its Class 3 setting keeps the throttle. Its settings table does let you turn the throttle off: setting P10, "0: PAS Active, Throttle Inactive" (page 44).

Section 21213 bars riders under 16 from class 3 bikes, in its words "A person under 16 years of age shall not operate a class 3 electric bicycle", and has every class 3 rider and passenger wear a helmet on a street, bikeway or public bicycle path or trail. For the class rules in your own state, see our state-by-state law guide.

Size, weight, limits and getting it home

At 75 lb with its battery, by Lectric's help center, the XPeak2 is a full-size bike that does not fold: 75 inches long, 18 wide and 43 tall, or 60 × 10 × 32 inches and 57.2 lb once the front wheel comes off. Both frames print that size on their size guides; the help center's size table lists the Step-Thru an inch shorter, at 74 inches.

Lectric prints one battery weight, 10.5 lb, on the standard and the Long-Range listings alike. Every load, speed and age limit it prints for the XPeak2, each with the document it comes from:

Setting it up takes minutes. The feature grid gives an assembly time of "Under 5 minutes", and the spec tab reads: "Simply attach the quick-release pedals and install the front wheel via the thru axle, then secure the handlebars with 4 screws." To carry it on a car, Lectric sells a Hollywood hitch rack whose listing fits "All Lectric eBike Models".

Your day-one checklist

Lectric's manual (pages 9 and 10) asks for its pre-ride safety checklist "before and after each ride". On delivery day, the checklist, the manual's assembly pages and the listings come to six steps:

1. Fit the front wheel with its thru axle (page 27), and check that both pedals are locked in.
2. Set the saddle with the heel check, keeping the post's minimum insertion mark inside the frame (page 18).
3. Set both tires inside the pressure range printed on their sidewalls (page 10).
4. Squeeze both brake levers: if either touches the handlebar when fully applied, the manual says to call Lectric before you ride (page 37).
5. Charge the battery fully; Lectric's listings give 6 to 8 hours on the included charger, 8 to 10 for the Long-Range.
6. Wear a helmet and high-visibility clothing, as the checklist asks (page 10), and ride Class 2 until you know your roads.

Charging, water, brakes and what comes in the box

The included 2 A charger fills the standard pack in 6 to 8 hours and the Long-Range in 8 to 10, by Lectric's spec tab, on or off the bike through a port near the bottom bracket.

The manual (page 58) says "Charging the battery normally takes 6-10 hours", and Lectric's $149 Fast Charger, a 5 A unit, lists the XPeak2; the bike's listing says it will "speed up charging by 250%", "allowing you to power up in approximately 4 hours or less".

On water, Lectric says two things. Its help center rates the XPeak2's electrical components IP 65, "dust-tight" and able to "withstand jetting water". The manual (page 9) says it "can withstand light rain and small splashes, but it is not designed to be subjected to inclement weather, extremely heavy showers, or submersion in water", and that "Water damage is not covered under the warranty."

The brakes are hydraulic with mineral oil, on a 203 mm front and a 180 mm rear rotor, 1.8 mm thick, per the spec tab. Lectric sells Type D pads for it in fours, at $40.

What comes in the box, per the help center: the bike, the integrated battery, a charger, front and rear lights, a kickstand, safety reflectors and a digital user manual, with "a one-year manufacturer warranty". On October 5, 2026 every listing added four accessories free, and the Long-Range a fifth.

What changed from the first XPeak

Lectric released the XPeak 2.0 on November 19, 2024, with a torque sensor in place of the first XPeak's crank-rotation setting, a 15 Ah or 20 Ah battery against 14 Ah, a color display with USB-C, a hydroformed frame and a larger 203 mm front rotor. Its design post dates the release, and the two manuals show the change in setting P11:

Lectric's documents give the first XPeak, on its 14 Ah pack, two throttle-only figures. Its launch post of November 3, 2023 says "If a rider only uses the throttle, a rider can get up to 45 miles", and its manual's test (page 37) gives "Pure throttle use" up to 20 miles at the test's 20 mph. Both stand in Lectric's documents.

The XPeak 2.0 launch post priced it from $1,399, and the Long-Range from $1,599. On October 5, 2026 the standard listings read $1,299 after a $200 sale, and the Long-Range $1,699.

Certificates and recalls

Lectric's spec tab certifies the XPeak2 to UL 2849 and its battery to UL 2271, and on October 5, 2026 no CPSC recall or product safety warning named the XPeak.

Read that day, the Consumer Product Safety Commission's recall list holds 10,027 recalls and one Lectric eBikes recall, 23-789: mechanical brake calipers on XP 3.0 e-bikes sold from November 2022 through May 2023. None of the CPSC's 373 product safety warnings that day names Lectric. Each Lectric model is checked against the federal list in our Lectric recall guide.

Parts and accessories Lectric sells for it

Lectric's US store sells a 15 Ah spare battery at $575 and a 20 Ah Long-Range spare at $700 for the XPeak 2.0, with chargers, racks, a Winter Package and wear parts, each below at its October 5, 2026 price. A part is listed only if its own compatibility line names the XPeak2, the XPeak 2.0 or every Lectric model.

Either pack fits either frame: the spare battery is a "48V 15Ah battery pack (720Wh)" and the Long-Range spare a "48V 20Ah battery pack (960Wh)", both naming the XPeak High-Step 2.0 and Step-Thru 2.0. A standard XPeak2 can carry the bigger pack later for $700; the listings read today describe one battery on the down tube, not a second mount.

For winter, the Snowdrift tires are a pair of 26 × 4 inch studded tires with "152 Steel Spikes", and the Winter Package is $169 against a $263 list.

XPeak2, XP4 or XPress2: which Lectric

Buy the XPeak2 for gravel and dirt, the XP4 750 to fold into a car or closet, and the XPress2 for pavement on slick 27.5-inch tires: all three run a 750 W motor to 28 mph in Class 3. Each figure comes from Lectric's listings read on October 5, 2026, the XP4 750's and the XPress2 Commuter's among them, and each model runs at the same 180 lb and 77 °F.

At 15 mph the XPeak2's standard pack holds 48 Wh more than the XPress2's and goes 4 fewer miles in our models: its fat knobby tires and 9 extra pounds cost range on pavement. In sand, Lectric's off-road post makes the case for them: "wider tires shine. They distribute weight and increase float." Our XP4 review covers the folding bike in full.

XPeak2 vs Aventon Aventure 3

Searches pair the XPeak2 with the Aventon Aventure by name. The Aventure 3 costs $700 more than the standard XPeak2, with a 733 Wh battery and a 400 lb load limit, and Aventon classes it as Class 2, where the XPeak2 has a 28 mph setting.

Aventon's price comes from its catalog read on October 5, 2026, and its figures from the spec tables on its two Aventure 3 pages, the step-over and the step-through, read on October 3.

Aventon sells each Aventure 3 frame in two sizes, the step-over for riders 5'3" to 6'4" and the step-through from 4'11" to 6'1", where Lectric sells each XPeak2 frame in one.

The table sets each maker's own range figure side by side. Aventon's catalog of October 5, 2026 listed the Aventure 3 and the Aventure M, and no Aventure 2, the model older comparisons pair with the XPeak; our Aventon eBikes guide covers its lineup.

The bike we sell beside it

We do not sell Lectric, and we name one bike beside the XPeak2: the Addmotor Soletan M-66X, a full-suspension step-thru with a 960 Wh battery and a 23.5-inch banana seat, for $1,799. It suits a Step-Thru rider who wants suspension at both ends and a low step on rough ground more than trail speed.

It is the one bike from the brands we sell that cleared this page's screen: one motor of no more than 750 W, a top speed no higher than the XPeak2's, and the same price at its maker as on our store; three other fat-tire bikes we sell were sold out at their makers when the screen ran on October 4, 2026.

The Soletan was read on our store and at Addmotor on October 5, and its saved range model runs at the same 180 lb and 77 °F.

Buying a bike from us

We sell e-bikes from makers we carry, online and without a showroom, and we do not sell Lectric. Our US support answers questions on fit, range and load in writing before you pay, and shipping is free within the contiguous United States. Should a bike you bought here fail to power on or charge, or flash an error code, you file the claim with us and we coordinate the repair or the replacement.

Read our refund policy before you order: a bike may come back unopened in its factory-sealed box if you ask within 72 hours of delivery, less a 15% restocking fee and the return shipping. How buying works here walks through each step, our Addmotor eBikes profile covers the maker, and every Addmotor bike we sell is on one page.

Green flags, and who the XPeak2 fits

Each row sets one point in the XPeak2's favor, from the figures above, beside the rider it does not suit and where that rider should look.

Frequently asked questions

How fast does the Lectric XPeak 2.0 go?

20 mph as it ships, a Class 2 bike, on pedal assist and throttle. Switched to Class 3, pedal assist runs to 28 mph while the throttle stays at 20, per Lectric's help center and the manual (page 46).

How do you set the Lectric XPeak 2.0 to 28 mph?

In the settings menu: hold plus and minus together until "P1" shows, go to "P08" and change 32 to 45, as the manual (page 47) shows. Peel the Class 2 label to show the Class 3 label beneath, and read your state's class 3 rules first.

Does the Lectric XPeak 2.0 have a torque sensor?

Yes, by its listing, its launch post and its manual: the spec tab describes "A unique torque sensor combined with PWR+ technology", and setting P11 picks a normal or increased "Torque Multiplier". The first XPeak set its assist by crank rotations instead (its manual, page 39).

Does the XPeak 2.0 have a throttle and cruise control?

Yes: a thumb throttle on the left, to 20 mph, and cruise control from 8 mph that "can only be engaged when using the throttle", per the manual (page 48). Setting P10 can switch the throttle off (page 44).

How far can the Lectric XPeak 2.0 go on one charge?

About 43 miles at 15 mph on the throttle with the 720 Wh pack, and 57 with the 960 Wh Long-Range, in our model with 180 lb aboard on flat ground at 77 °F. Lectric's test gives up to 60 and 80 miles (manual, page 49).

Is the Long-Range XPeak 2.0 worth it?

Yes, if your rides outrun the standard pack: our model gives it about 30 miles at 20 mph on the throttle with 180 lb aboard, and the Long-Range about 40. For $400 more the Long-Range adds 240 Wh and, in our model, 14 more miles at 15 mph, 57 against 43. Lectric sells the same 960 Wh pack alone for $700 as a spare.

High-Step or Step-Thru: which XPeak 2.0 should I buy?

The High-Step if you are 5'4" or taller and swing a leg over easily; the Step-Thru for a 19.5-inch step-over and a window from 5'2" to 6'3". They share the motor, batteries, price and accessories, per Lectric's size guides.

How much does the Lectric XPeak 2.0 weigh?

75 lb with its battery, per Lectric's help center: 64.5 lb for the bike and 10.5 lb for the pack. Lectric prints the same 10.5 lb pack weight on the Long-Range listings.

What is the Lectric XPeak 2.0's weight limit?

330 lb in all, rider and cargo together, with up to 60 lb on the rear rack, per the manual (page 10) and the size guide.

What size rider fits the Lectric XPeak 2.0?

The High-Step fits riders 5'4" to 6'5" and the Step-Thru 5'2" to 6'3", one size each, per Lectric's size guides. Take a 5'8" rider: the survey's median inseam at that height is 32.6 inches, and on either frame our fit model puts the saddle top about 35.6 inches above the pedal axle.

What tire pressure and size does the XPeak 2.0 use?

26 × 4 inch knobby tires with Slime. Lectric ran its range test near 20 psi (manual, page 49) and asks you to stay inside the range printed on the sidewall; its off-road post suggests a little less air, within that range, for grip on loose ground.

Can you ride the Lectric XPeak 2.0 off road?

Yes, on gravel trails, dirt roads and hard-packed trails with both wheels on the ground: Lectric rates it to ISO 4210-10 eMTB. Its manual (page 6) says it is "NOT INTENDED for mountain bicycle use including any kind of jumping or downhill mountain biking".

Is the Lectric XPeak 2.0 waterproof?

Water-resistant, not waterproof. Lectric's help center rates its electrical parts IP 65, and the manual (page 9) warns against "submersion in water" and adds "Water damage is not covered under the warranty."

How long does the XPeak 2.0 take to charge?

6 to 8 hours for the standard pack and 8 to 10 for the Long-Range on the included 2 A charger, per Lectric's spec tab. The $149 5 A Fast Charger lists the XPeak2.

Can I add a second battery to the XPeak 2.0?

You can buy a spare to swap in: Lectric sells a 15 Ah pack for $575 and a 20 Ah Long-Range pack for $700, both naming the XPeak 2.0, per the Long-Range spare's listing. The listings read on October 5, 2026 describe one battery on the down tube.

What is the difference between the XPeak 1.0 and 2.0?

The 2.0, released November 19, 2024, adds a torque sensor, a 15 or 20 Ah battery against 14 Ah, a color display with USB-C, a hydroformed frame and a 203 mm front rotor, per Lectric's design post. The comparison table sets out both.

Where can I buy a Lectric XPeak 2.0?

From Lectric's own store, at $1,299 or $1,699 on October 5, 2026, and in person at its retail store and dealers, which our Lectric dealers guide lists by state. We do not sell Lectric; the bike we sell beside it is the Soletan M-66X.

Where is the Lectric XPeak 2.0 manual?

Lectric links it as a PDF from its help center's manuals page. This review quotes the XPeak 2.0 User Manual, version 1.3, 76 pages, and the XPeak 1.0 User Manual, version 1.4.

The bottom line

The XPeak2 is Lectric's fat-tire trail bike: a 750 W motor with a torque sensor, 26 × 4 inch knobby tires, an 80 mm fork, 28 mph in its Class 3 setting and 43 miles at 15 mph on the throttle in our model, or 57 on the Long-Range, from $1,299.

Choose the frame by your height and inseam, ride gravel and dirt with both wheels down, and keep it on Class 2 until you know your state's rules.

If you would rather buy from a brand we sell, the Soletan M-66X gives you suspension at both ends, a 17-inch step and 960 Wh for $1,799.

Addmotor's own US store charged what we charge on October 5, 2026; the Soletan ships free to the lower 48, and a warranty claim comes to us. Buy the Soletan M-66X in Orange for $1,799.

Image credit: the cover's Soletan M-66X is Addmotor's own photograph in Orange, cut from the white floor it was shot on and placed whole at one uniform scale with nothing on it redrawn, in a studio made with Nano Banana Pro on Playcut for another of our reviews; the floor shadows and type are ours. Addmotor took the card photo, which we cropped, scaled and set on white; no Lectric photograph appears here.

Limitations

Every figure above is true under the conditions printed with it. Below: when each source was read, what the models assume, and where Lectric's own documents disagree.

1. Read on October 5, 2026: four US listings, both manuals, the help center and four posts. Prices, stock, the sale and the free accessories change, and these are that day's.
2. The motor is a stand-in. Lectric prints rated and peak watts, torque and controller amps but no efficiency or speed curve, so the model runs Bafang's hub at its 80% floor, rebased to 750 W and 28 mph, without the 1,310 W peak; on a short steep pitch the real motor may do better than the model.
3. A nominal 30.01-inch wheel: the 559 mm bead seat plus twice the 4.0-inch tire height. The display ships set to a tire size of 29.2 (manual, page 44) and reckons speed and distance from that.
4. Rolling resistance is the median of ten 26 × 4.00 fat tires on a drum, not a figure for Lectric's own knobby tire; the tire table brackets it with the lowest and highest of the ten, and Lectric's test tires ran near 20 psi.
5. Steady speeds only. Lectric's test figures give no throttle split; under the test's conditions the model's steady 20 mph on the throttle gives 29.3 miles on the standard pack and 39.4 on the Long-Range, and the page prints both beside Lectric's.
6. One battery weight for two packs. Lectric prints 10.5 lb for the battery on the standard and the Long-Range listings alike, so both models carry a 75 lb bike.
7. One cell stands for the pack in the cold: LG's 18650HG2, with the spread of the other cell studies in brackets. At 14 °F the pack sits below the 32 °F floor Lectric sets for charging.
8. Your pedaling is held steady in the model, each of your watts taken off the motor's load; a torque sensor tracks your effort, so the real saving depends on the assist level you choose.
9. Two descriptions of the pedal sensor. The listing, the 2.0 launch post and the manual's settings describe a torque sensor; the help center's PWR article still lists the XPeak2 among its cadence-based PWR bikes.
10. Fit comes from a population, the US Army's ANSUR II survey of personnel aged 17 to 58; your own inseam and the heel check outrank it, and the High-Step's tables stop at 6'4".
11. The grips are not placed. With no seat-tube angle, bottom-bracket height or crank length printed, and a "Handlebar Reach" with no stated starting point, lean and hand load cannot be computed.
12. The 109% saddle figure is where to begin, not where to end: your shoes, the saddle's shape and how you ride all move it, and the heel check on page 18 decides it.
13. Aventon's figures are two days older, read from its Aventure 3 pages on October 3, 2026, with its price and availability read on October 5; the Aventure 3's range on this page is Aventon's own figure, with no model of ours beside it.
14. California stands in for the states, its code read on the Legislature's site on October 5, 2026; how a 28 mph bike with a throttle is classed is your own state's call.
15. This page expires when Lectric changes the listing: a new price, the sale ending, different free accessories, a stock change or a new manual.
16. We sell an e-bike that competes with the XPeak2. The Soletan M-66X is ours, its figures come from Addmotor, and the Shop Pay terms you see at checkout are the ones that apply.
