We just pulled the trigger last night and bought 2 XP 2.0 bikes. I am so impressed we got a notice this morning that they will be here by Saturday!! What a great company. Thanks again for the thorough and convincing video.

[moore__explore]

You've got my gears turning, thank you! Glad you got the comfort seat so you "don't get sucked up in there!" We so appreciate your candor in the things you choose to recommend!!

[Hiker_who_Sews]

Thanks for the review! Back in the 50's we didn't have slime. We put a shot of evaporated milk in our bike tubes. Oh, the stink when you actually took an old tube off. Lol.

I love Gray's Lake! It hooks up with some other trails, too. I was taking a break there one day while riding my bike on a perfect weather day. There was a kid's sailing lesson going on that was the cutest thing ever. Every kid had their own sailboat and it was fun to just sit in the sun with a nice breeze and enjoy their lesson.

[joyofanimation]

Cool. I just bought the Lite…same color..white…my first ebike. It is fun to ride! Can’t wait to go camping and take my new ebike.

[Silkytoaster]

Your video has come at a very good . I am just awaiting delivery of my Lectrik Xp Lite next week . After already watching many videos in the bike I have to say your video is among the best . You explain everything in a calm well thought out way including aspects and features that would be important to me - a similar age group to yourselves . Thank you again for a stellar bike tutorial. Greetings from Canada

Great review. We really like our ebikes but have the same issues you had with you old bikes. We thought we would love the fat tires but discovered we don't like riding in sand. They fold but still take up more room that we would like them to. Also, the paint scratches where they fold, so we put cloths around those areas, which isn't a great fix. They are heavy so we find we just don't want to bother getting them out and set up to ride so now we have bikes that require so much work that we end up not bothering to use them.

We have the first version of the Lectric bike and love it. We will be biking part of the Going to The Sun Road in Glacier National Park on Thursday. We did it last year and it was an amazing life experience that would not have been possible without these bikes (I am 70 and hubby is 72). We may soon look into the version you have but right now will just keep on peddling with our Lectrics !

[kimvandertill]

Lectric is AWESOME!! I’ve had many others purchase them after hearing and/or trying ours. They truly are a top notch company with a top notch product. You’ll continue to love them!! Congratulations!

[gloriamoline]

I'm waiting on mine. Great video. You covered all the basics. Being an older person, I was hesitant to get one but you guys assured me it would be fine. I like the simplicity of this bike.

[MaxineAnne]

Thank you for this video. We are seriously considering purchasing at least one e-bike, possibly two, so I appreciate your review and honest opinions of what you have experience with. I also want to add that it was helpful that you stated right away that this video would be a review. For those who consider this a "commercial", they have the option to immediately switch to something else, with no need to complain about it. For me, I watched every minute, and will have my husband do the same. Thanks again for all your videos. I look forward to seeing them every Saturday morning with my breakfast. Oh, I wanted to add that being a female of similar age, I REALLY appreciate hearing Michelle's opinion/views on everything regarding your current lifestyle. Her comments about where you store the dirty laundry and curling iron in the new van, made me laugh, but yes, I need to know that sort of thing. Take care.

[louiselevasseur]

Great information. We enjoy our Lectric bikes. Wish we would have waited and got the lighter ones. Enjoy!!!

[lboyd]

I've been studying eBikes for a long time. I think you've sold me!!! Excellent review!

[mikemanjo]

We are not affiliates and we have the original Lectric models. We have found the company to always be immediately responsive to us whenever we have called with a question. Our bikes weigh 68 lbs, so I think we’d enjoy the lighter bikes...maybe one day. You’re right, ours will go up to 28 mph and that’s plenty of speed. I like the “slime” yours has even though we’ve never had a flat. I hope you continue to enjoy them. Love you guys. Always wear a helmet! From SC, Jane ❤️🙏🏻

[Grammapro]

Glad you like them! We have the Lectric XP 2.0 step thru’s and love them. They take some concentration so you don’t hurt yourself and I had a motorcycle years ago that I didn’t think twice about! It’s not a bike and it’s not a motorcycle. And I don’t think as fast the older I get, so really understanding the ins and outs is key! Grey’s lake looks like a great place to ride and will have to check that out! Enjoy and be safe! 🚴

[garythovson]

Great review. We just got the XP step-thru 2.0 this week. Have not ridden too far yet, but are loving the ride. We got the white and black models. Stay safe. 😎🤓🥸see you on the trails.

[wsgriffi]

We still love our XP's. Would have purchased the XP Lite's if they were available 2 years ago. Sorry we missed you when we went through Iowa. Take care, Scott& Laura

We have two Rad Minis, Step Through and have been very happy with them. We are in our late 60's so the Step Through Frame is extremely beneficial for ease of use and improved safety! I also noticed you use the 1UP Bike Rack, which we also have, great Rack! One of the advantages, that we like with the Rad Mini, besides their great Service, is the ability to easily remove the Battery without having to fold the frame. We alway remove the batteries, when the bikes are on the Bike Rack to save the 8 lbs each. This not only makes them a little easier to put on the Bike Rack, but more importantly improves the Weight Distribution of our Van, by moving the 16 lbs (2 Batt) further forward inside the Van. Additionally, we believe this also make them less attractive to steal.

NIce! We were at the Lectric headquarters this morning test riding the XP 2.0 and XPremium bikes. Ordered 2 XP 2.0 step throughs. Great bikes for the $. Looking forward to their arrival. Enjoy!

[Tms]

We have the lectric 2.0 step thru, love them. Would be nice to be lighter like yours. But we will stick with these for awhile. Just got them this year. Jus thatched your video about your class b, very nice. Hoping to start living the van life in a few years! Thanks for sharing!
