Best part about the Lectric 3.0 is the price. This thing is wicked cheap! They’re only asking $999 for a 1000w bike (that’s 1.3hp) with all these features. This thing will do 20 mph under it’s own power on a flat surface without pedaling, because that’s the legal limit in the USA for an off the shelf street bike for some reason. Of course you can go faster than that if you pedal or have a good tail wind.

Let me tell you a little secret, but you have to promise to keep it to yourself. You can unlock class 3 mode which will allow pedal assist up to 28mph by going into the secret settings number 8 and changing the number 32 to 100. Remember I didn’t tell you to do this. Change this setting at your own risk.

The XP 3.0 is the perfect bike for getting around town, grabbing groceries and putting them on the rack in back. It’s great for getting around camp and exploring dirt roads and easy trails. Lectric also sells a seat for the back in case you want to take a child with you and they also sell larger cargo baskets that bolt right on for even more hauling ability.

That being said, don’t try climbing mountains with it. It’s not designed for that. The 1000w hub motor is good enough for most paved roads and easy climbs on dirt roads. Lectric states that the controller will reduce power to 500w under low load conditions in order to save power. This is why it gets such good mileage.

So what kind of mileage can you expect? Well that depends on a lot of factors. First, is going to be which XP 3.0 model you go with. There is the standard range, and then there is the one I have which is the long range. The long range is only $179 more but gives you up to 35% more range. Essentially it’s just a bigger battery. On my XP 3.0 long range I was able to get about 30 miles with almost no pedaling on mostly flat desert terrain. They say expect about 20 miles without pedaling on the standard model.

So if you plan to do any serious riding or go more than 20 miles round trip in a day you should strongly consider the long range upgrade. For $179 I think it’s a no brainer. The charger that is included is only 2A so it does take about 5-6 hours for the base model, and 6-7 hours for the long range to top up a dead battery. So unless you buy multiple batteries or a faster aftermarket charger you’re going to be limited to one charge per riding day.

You can also increase your mileage by pumping up the tires to maximum PSI and instead of using the throttle, use one of the pedal assist modes that forces you to pedal. Remember you can totally shut off the motor and pedal the bike with no assist at all if you want a serious workout. Note that none of Lectric’s bike models offer regen braking but that’s not much of a surprise at this price point.

Lectric does provide a chart that will give you a general idea of what kind of mileage you can expect based on the model and level of pedal assist you use, or if you’re like me and just gun it everywhere you can expect 20 or 30 miles depending on the model.

If you want to know the weight difference between the standard and long range, the standard model with battery installed rolls in around 64lbs which isn’t bad at all.

So you get HUGE bang for the buck here. Only a grand for a 1000w step thru folding fat tire bike with all these features from a brand based right here in Arizona. That’s right. This ain’t typical China garbage, you’re actually buying a built in the USA bike when you go with Lectric.

One last mention is that the 3.0 is IP65 water and dust resistant so you don’t have to worry about riding in the dirt or leaving it in the rain. All the important electrics are sealed from the weather so you can in fact use a hose to wash it when you’re done.

Lectric also offers a plethora of accessories for your bike so you can customize it to the hilt. Like this one here has the add on “elite” super bright headlight and the “comfort” seat for us night blind fatties. They even sell a pet trailer so you can take your pet with you on rides.
