Hi
Micah. I can not thank you enough for literally changing my whole family's lives. We live at the bottom of the biggest hill in North London. The turning point for me was a "bike ride" - we pushed our bikes to the top of the hill - my 10 year old son got tired and we came back - some bike ride! I then discover and followed this video - using the brilliant idea of using hoverboard batteries but using hub motors instead. I used a 36V 250W front wheel hub motor for my first bike (a scrap bike project with my son) and then 36V 350W rear wheel hub motors on the bikes for the rest of my family. I packed the controller and battery inside a saddle bag and hid the wiring. We now cycle all the time. My son and I have just finished a 30 mile bike ride through the heart of London city (I just carried a couple of spare hoverboard batteries in my backpack - we get about 15 miles from 1 36V 5Ah hoverboard battery). I have electric bikes for ALL of my family for much less than my friend paid for his 1 electric bike). I would love to share some pictures if that is possible, could you please let me know how I can do that. Thanks so so much again. Mat

I have had my Lectric XP for almost two years now and no problems. I rode it in Florida the past two years in Florida in the winter months and bring it back to Ohio where I live in the summer months. Other than the weight, I love it.

I'd love to see the same video but about "The best cheap (yet good) conversion kits".

Lectric bikes have change a little. They went from a 4” tire to a 3” tire. They added front suspension. They are a $100 more now at $1, 000. I’m looking at these real hard.

The ebikes are becoming more of a necessity than a luxury. It has already proven its worth and functionality. Thanks, Micah. More power👍😊🚵‍♂️

Almost at 1K miles on my Lectric XP. 1 flat tire, and have to adjust my rear brake every 200 miles are my only complaints so far. Great bike, I love riding it.

Excellent, Straight forward I have a Rad Rover and since riding around town I have fielded a lot of questions... most people are curious about prices first and express a little bit of surprise (in a good way) when I tell them that quality e-bikes are available at the $900 to $1200 price point. I can now refer them to this video for a primer on price and features for entry-level offerings. BTW, I will be purchasing a Rad Runner this Spring. I will not only have a second bike for family and friends but I can swap batteries between them to double my range for long, solo excursions. No question that (in my case) Rad offers a great deal of flexibility for the price.

Love the look of that Roadster V2, very discreet looking with that mini hub motor in it.

I’m 65 and looking for my first Ebike. Your video was helpful. Thanks!

[superhumanbikes]

Add this amazing low cost bike to your next e-bike market review!

[d.rodrickeamon]

Nice to see that the Lectric XP made it onto your best cheap e-bikes list! Mine arrived two days ago. I've been out once so far, and I'm looking forward to getting out there. A lot!

[raylivengood]

The V2 is pretty solid, I like the stealth factor.

[shawnmaker]

I was looking for something like this. Thank you.

[shanegabbert]

Great reviews thank you. I’m still day dreaming and you’re getting closer to my budget. Respect your experience!

[thefrub]

The last one is my favorite, I'm a sucker for old school step-through cruisers

I recently made a huge research before buying my first ebike and finally I've chosen Samebike LO 26 II for the price tag of 800 euros (I bought It straight from the factory) I got 500w hub motor with 750W peak, folding mechanism, rear and front suspension, sprungless aluminium wheels, colorful display, kickstand, fenders and mechanical disc brakes and all are very decent quality.I made 500km on this bike and I'm still loving It :) the bike is stored outside and I'm riding it when it's rainy.I just making simple service stuff like oiling the chain etc.I would admire this ebike to everyone.For this price range is hard to buy something better :)

Love the "best cheap ebike" reviews, would also like to see a "best cheap ebike conversion kit" review!

[diamonddbw]

Thanks. Still very happy with my original XP. Only things I'd change would be Throttle from dead stop, and a step through.

A very good new contender to this space is the all new Ariel rider Rideal . It really improves in all aspects where Radmission doesn't have or missing

[tomleonard]

Love folding bikes, so the Lectric looks best to me!
