IM IMPRESSED NICE GOOD WORK OUT DEMO ON THE XPEAK. PLUS ITS VERY AFFORDABLE . LECTRIC IS GOING ALL OUT TO PUT THERE BIKES ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH THE AFFORDABILITY TO BOOT. NICE !
That looks like the perfect trail for testing their new ebike line up. If they can stand up to that kind of abuse, they can handle pretty much anything. Those rocks are worse than tree roots. Thanks for sharing your experience. 👍
Soil in AZ is so loose, so many rocks!
Every new bike will make it. But it won't last.
This is my Christmas gift! We ordered it today!!!!
Rock on!
A 48v 14ah battery is completely inadequate for a 26x4, particularly one marketed for off road use where you burn more energy on loose terrain and going up hills. You’d have range anxiety after about 10 miles. 48v 20ah is the minimum in todays market with many offering higher. Only die hard Lectric fans will buy this, others will do a little research and see how weak this bike is versus the numerous competitors.
Man thanks for confirming this. Looking for my first bike
Wish they had one of these when I ordered my XP 2.0. My husband is a big guy so he wanted something like this….we settled on the Rad Rover 6+ and it’s already been through 3 batteries that have bricked. While my XP 2.0 is been wonderful and bulletproof
Yes they finally have a “big guy” ebike.
Looks really nice for off roading and even an handle our city streets. Black Friday sales are out for their bikes great days. Going to order the 3.0 attempting to order the XP as well Safe riding Chris 👍✌️
Thanks 🙏
The 3.0 is an XP:
“XP 3.0”
Other models are XPremium, XPedition, XP Lite (maybe you meant that),…
South Mtn Park brings back memories... Looks like a fun bike!
This is North Mt., when I lived there, id ride my road bike up to the towers on S. Mt.
@@paulwoodman5131 I was riding a '71 Kaw Mach 1 back then. ebikes weren't invented...
Thank you for showing the behind the scenes so we can get in on the experience.
TBH I am a little disappointed... the market is flooded with Heavy Fat Tire eBikes already. The Xpeak's saving grace is value but definitely not as compelling like the dual battery Xpedition or Trike.
I wish Lectric would offer a product that solved a problem like... eliminating flat tires, improve safety, improve the image of eBikes.
Like the bike but those seats have to go! like sitting on a rock, step thru for me. great video Chris! I live about 30 miles to the west and need to try it out, mis there too much bounce in the forks? or is it ok?
It had a ton of bounce but that could be because it’s pre production model.
Why does EVERY ebike review have the headlight pointed to the sky???
I would have to try the trail. But I don't like mountain rocking 😂
Thinking about buying it. Would get out and explore some trails but would also use it to commute and just get around. I know its geared towards mountain biking but do you think it would work well for commuting?
Yeah should work well for that too.
Love the video, question for you. Comparing this to the Aventon Aventure 2. Will the xpeak be far better for offroad and hill climbs ? I like the range better on the Aventure 2 but I have heard the front fork is not the best. Thanks for the info !!
I've ridden both, I think the XPeak will be slightly better on trail riding. I think the Aventure fork is ok but the XPeak's is supposed to be better. is
What did you like more? I will have to see if you have a video about the Aventure 2
They are very even to be honest. I didnt review the Aventon but did rent one once in Vegas.
wuts that called the schale trale ?
Test road the xpeak the other day. It was a fun pkg and for its price point it was just about right. Only other low price point bike I would consider is the 60v wired freedom however I heard the motor can shut down on terrain like this and the frame does not appear as strong as the xpeak. Can anyone chime in on this ?
With the Wired i probably would not do a lot of off roading like i did with the XPeak in the desert. The XPeak is built just for off roading so I'd save the Wired for tamer trails and streets.
i heard many youtube on Xpeak reviews said have few problems is wobbles, pedals on your shoes hit on tires when turn left or right too. I still not sure about this.
I have the step over and haven’t noticed these issues
wobble and pedal on foots hit by tires?
Chris are they using the XPedition motor?
Yes but they improved the sound, it’s very quiet now!
I heard them say this motor is 400% quieter than the Expedition model! Is that even possible? I would think a 100% quieter would be silent!
@@tenncutt that’s correct, not sure where the number came from but it’s definitely quiet
Does this bike have a cadence sensor?
Yes with their PWR controller
A little on the clanky side to be calling a emtb.
The headlight was loose
@@ChrisCrossed lol, the Tourney doesn't help either,I hate those things, for a seven speed the Shimano flat face derailleur is way quieter,
Please apparently have the same shifting system as their other bikes. Disappointed that's not more mountain bikes specific with better thumb, shifting and Dior derailers. But I don't mind working on them and can be upgraded. Is it likely we will see aftermarket 20 amp hour batteries for this?
The battery is so-so..Should of made more capacity.
Yes and no, this is a very purpose driven ebike made for trail use so a 14ah is adequate enough to have fun. Bigger battery means more weight.
An ENGINEERING DISASTER
The high step is a solid ebike. That’s the only version people should get anyway.
No offense to you or your channel but this bike is a joke. There is nothing "off road" about it. The forks are not $400 forks. Having a rear hub on a mountain bike is ridiculous. This is so disappointing.
It worked well on those trails. Can’t make a mid drive for that price point so have to use hub.
I went to their corporate location and test road the demo. I was actually surprised what it would do. I also later road a Trance emtb that was $5600 bike mid drive and it would blow this away but not in comfort. The xpeak was far more simple, fun and comfortable. So it’s just what you want. I did wish the motor had more top end power and a bigger battery. I wish they would put the wired freedom 60v setup on this as I feel the frame is pretty nice. I live in this area and have ridden dirt bikes that blow all of this away. Our roads out here can be step, rocky and unforgiving. And they are closing down trails fast to gas powered dirt bikes. So this just may fit the bill for now. Be cool to see it evolve over time.
