While technically a folding bike, its 63-pound weight makes it a bit of an awkward blob of a beast to handle when folded. The XP features an integrated vertical height adjustment on the handlebars, which, when paired with the massive vertical height adjustment on the seat, makes it easy to quickly set the bike up for a wide range of rider sizes. Up top, wider handlebars feel more natural and provide better control of the bike without creating a larger folded footprint, at 67 x 18 x 47 inches. On a more mundane level, the smaller tires also allowed Lectric eBikes to optimize their shipping footprint with less packaging materials. Paired with the new front suspension fork, the new tires still make for an extremely comfortable ride, while their smaller diameter and lighter weight make the bike handle much better than its predecessor. The new version sports slightly smaller tires, swapping out the massive 20″ x 4″ tires on the original build for a set of more manageable 20″ x 3″ CST tires with a rounded tread profile that contribute to a drastically improved ride. The Lectric XP 2.0 largely defined a new class of fat tire folding e-bikes with their oversized frames and beefy tires making for a comfortable, sturdy package. Just open the box, unfold the bike, and you’re off to the races. We experienced this first-hand with the first Lectric XP we reviewed, and it’s a beautiful thing. Both of Lectric eBikes’ offerings are shipped to customers fully assembled.

The new bike comes kitted out with a range of new features asked for by Lectric’s committed riders, including a suspension fork, increased carrying capacity on the included rear rack, wider handlebars, and slightly smaller 20″ x 3″ tires.ĭisclaimer: Lectric eBikes provided the XP 2.0 to the author free of charge for the purposes of this review.

They took a few weeks to get through the production and delivery hell that’s par for the course for any new product launch, and hooked us up with a new Lectric XP 2.0 for a more in-depth review. Lectric eBikes released two new versions of its popular fat tire folding electric bikes a few weeks ago, and we were excited to spend a few days chugging around town on a Lectric eBikes XP Step-Thru 2.0 prototype.
