2023 Lectric XP 3.0 Electric Bike

Electrified Reviews

"The XP Step-Thru 3.0 features a front suspension fork from Lectric with 50mm of travel, which helps to absorb bumps and vibrations and provide a smoother and more comfortable ride. The suspension is especially useful for riders who frequently encounter rough or uneven terrain, and can help reduce fatigue and discomfort over longer rides. For riders who want even more suspension performance, Lectric also offers an opt..."

"I've seen more Lectric ebikes here in New York City than I can count. I get it—the Lectric XP is one of the most affordable foldable ebikes, and it comes with a lot of extras. I'd still never buy it myself—I live in a walk-up and don't want to deal with such a heavy, bulky thing. That doesn't mean I don't appreciate this chunky vehicle. In the third iteration, Lectric has made some small but nice tweaks to the fo..."

"Lectric claim the XP 3.0 works for an impressive height range from 5'0" to 6'4". That wide range makes it suitable for most cyclists. Many cyclists pay attention to bike geometry: the shape and size of the bike frame and how it affects your posture and pedaling position. For a pedal-powered bike, the right setup is important for comfortable and efficient pedaling. The downside to the XP 3.0's adaptability is that a..."

"The simple fact that the Lectric XP 3.0 has 20-inch wheels allows the bike to be folded and stowed easily, but they don't produce the best ride. The smaller diameter wheels don't roll as fast or smoothly as bigger wheels, and the bike's short wheelbase, steep head angle, and tall/narrow handlebar can make it feel a bit nervous at speed. It has a short turning radius, and we never found it to feel too unstable, even w..."

"Look, this isn’t the nicest quality e-bike out there. It’s decent, even quite good. It’s not great, and I never expected it to be. I’ve ridden $5,000 e-bikes that knock its socks off. But I also don’t really want to shell out $5k for an e-bike. For $1k, this is a steal of a deal. It’s all that most people need. And that’s its secret to having become the best-selling e-bike in the US. It’s not really a..."

Electric Bike Report

"The watchword for this e-bike and this review is “more.” Compared to the Lectric XP 2.0 which we also reviewed, the XP 3.0 has a motor that produces more torque, a drivetrain with more high-end, a rear rack with more carrying capacity, brakes with more power, a battery with more charge and a suspension fork with more travel. And for anyone who wants more range than the new battery offers, Lectric offers a long-ra..."

"Electric bikes are expensive. The battery itself can cost the manufacturer hundreds of dollars, which means it isn’t economical to assemble a quality ebike for much under a grand (and I wouldn't recommend many of the least expensive options, which tend to cut a lot of corners to hit a low price point). But there are exceptions. The Lectric XP 3.0 is a superb ebike that only costs $900 and offers a great ride, quali..."

"The new rear rack welded to the frame is a nice addition to the Lectric XP 3.0. This of course increases the capacity to an impressive 150 lbs (up from just 77 lbs). This change also allowed Lectric to add the Thule Yepp Maxi window. This allows the child seat to be attached with ease. No adapter plates, just buy the Thule Yepp Maxi and you’re good to go! Other passenger accessories are available for purchase such..."
