Josh! You're going to be getting an order from me by tomorrow or Saturday! David Brand New showed me ALL that I needed to see by riding it! I'm only here to confirm that you have a GREAT BIKE! I can't wait to receive mine! 👍🏿❤🔥
If you like power and speed, this is definitely a great ebike that won’t disappoint for the price! I may end up with one too if I can find the space for it.
Very impressive stats. I have a few E bikes but this one really appears that it’s got just about everything you need on an E bike. The Geering is super super impressive and is one of the outstanding features. I’m going to look into this bad boy.
The gearing is crazy awesome. I could still ‘push’ the bike at 31/32mph without feeling like I was going to wobble myself off the bike. Definitely one of the best features. I can keep it in the highest gear and help the bike with my own casual energy and help the battery last longer (not like I need to do so with such a huge battery).
I am not going to mention the name of the other bike that I own & I love it so so much. But when I’m doing 28 miles an hour and on the 14 teeth sprocket in the back causes way too much air pedaling . The 11 tooth and 56 in the front 👍👍👍. No more air peddling for me.
Yeah... Josh from Amp Rides USA really takes care of customers and even has his cell number on the website to help make sure the customer is getting the right ebike for themselves.
This ebike is well worth the wait. It has a ton more power on the top speed, super smooth and responsive acceleration, overall much more comfortable ride, and way more range per charge. It’s a premium ebike, but amp rides has done a great job keeping it affordable for everything you get. Of all the 20”x4” fat tire ebikes I’ve tested, this performance can’t beat. Keep in mind it has a really powerful 1500watt motor that runs much cooler at higher speeds as the motor can theoretically output 3x what the Lectric XP does. Seating is much more comfortable too as I didn’t feel like I was reaching as much and sat more upright. I think this is the ebike that you won’t have to worry about wanting to upgrade once you get it since it is all around top notch and really fast.
Most e bike makers are going with bigger batteries, or at least they make it optional,then comes Lectric with a smaller, weaker one on the new model, makes zero sense to me.
Batteries went up 30 to 32% wholesale in April plus 25% tariff on that so it may have been a price point decision. Add front shock, reduce battery 10%, reduce tire and wheel size 25% to lower wholesale cost and raise $100 total to $999.
I'll have my 2.0 in a few days, and I also have mltiple 1.0's so I'll know shortly if it gets less miles per charge then the 1.0's larger battery. The smaller 3" tires/rims may help eat up less juice because they should be lighter, taking less power to rotate, also because of a smaller foot print should have less rolling resistance, so mileage difference may be roughly the same as before. Having said that, I too wish they could have gone the other way to a larger battery, but they are trying to maintain a bang for the buck image, so was probably a budget consideration. It is now a Samsung Battery, so may be better quality then the last ones too.
Ideally, you will want to stop using your eBike before it drops below 30%, while you will also want to avoid recharging past 80 to 85%. 9.6 or 10.4ah batteries in full size bikes make it tricky to do this since they are essentially wanting you to use only 4 to 5ah of the battery between 80% and 30%. Fully charging and fully draining is going to significantly reduce the health and life cycles of a battery. Where a well treated battery may last 2 to 3 years an overused battery will start to deteriorate a couple hundred cycles sooner or approximately 6-12 months after your one year warranty expires. www.bestelectricbikes.com/how-to-extend-the-life-of-your-ebike-battery/

Can you do a review on the best Weather Proof E-Bike that is safe in the rain, I am really at looking at a step through style bike, or a Fat Tyre Lectric xp Style Bike, finally a fat style E-Bike that can get to 30MPH.
Waterproof controller, water resist motor, display, battery. Probably looking at around $4k and above to get waterproof bike in the higher priced bike lines like cannondale and diamondback etc. You might search hunting ebike to find this.

Hi, prices vary based on battery size, blackwalls/whitewalls and carbon fiber hydrostatic finish or other paint style. Feel free to reach out if you have questions sales@ampridesusa.com
As I remember Josh mentioned that the frame for the Volt had to be beefed up for the extra torque in the 90 nm model. Did this increase the carrying capacity beyond the 300 lb mark?
IMHO if you can automate watts of motor in reverse (increasing to 1500watt while at stop then down it to 250 watt. Similarly pumping to 1500 watts to climb hill then down to 250 watts) to make it real bike that use help of electric power when on demand but remain in compliance of regulations.
The market is getting flooded with electric bike with competitive prices, i think in next 6 months we will see good ebikes with good batteries (like this one ) and powerful motors (again like this one ) with competitive prices
I hope so! The more options out there the better. Shipping and manufacturing costs have really made ebike prices jump lately, but if more ebikes enter the market, competition should help to keep prices at a reasonable level.
I went to their website. The page for the folding bike doesn't exist. Hard to feel warm and fuzzy about a company who promotes something but then the webpage is broken.

@@robh063 Understood. So far we are sold out as we quick as we can build them, so it seems they work for a small niche of riders who need these specs, power etc. You might check out the Lectric XP, they are a great budget priced bike with some good features.
Nice! This bike hits ALL my requirements. Add front mount points in 2022, rubber belt with automatic transmission in 2023, and graphite solid state battery with 2000w front & back motors in 2025 for the 45 MPH motorcycle version. 😀
devils advocate but what is the limit in his area for motor size? I thought an e bike couldnt go over 20mph throttle and 28mph if class 3 with PAS or have a motor over 750 watts. I am also wrong alot, ask my wife, so take this with a grain.
Lol. This time you are correct. Technically the ebike can’t be a class 3 and must be considered off-road with a motor over 750watt or a throttle that takes you over 20mph. The bike ships with the settings all limiting it to be under the class 3 rules, and the motor is purposely labeled at 750, but it’s really a lot more of everything and will almost fly if you unlock it to its full potential.
Why do you keep saying 1500 Watts when the 25a controller limits the output to only a peak of 1200 Watts? Even with the 52v battery option, if the controller is 25a that would be a Max peak output of 1300 Watts.
Oh geez!!! You’re right!! It’s so crazy that the video has been up for so long and your the first to catch that and I had no idea I did that. I was told it was 1500 peak and didn’t realize I never did the math on it. The motor is rated as 1500w but like you said, it will only run 1200 max with that battery and controller. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment and correct me. I’m embarrassed I didn’t catch that and stated the incorrect info so often! Well, I can say that the motor did run very cool even when pushing it probably because it wasn’t straining. It’s still an incredible ebike and one of my all time favorites. I think It was also the fastest ebike I got to test and review.
Wow sounds like an awesome bike! From order to delivery what is the wait time? Okay you just answered my question 6 months it's a long time to wait but I guess a lengthy wait time is to be expected from all the bike companies.
We have a couple left, one is on an incoming order in August and another couple are unsold on an October or so arriving order, depends on ports, shipping. Most are presold months in advance though.
Hi, the folding bike frames are limited by the folding mechanisms typically, we get more weight capacity on our nonfolding bikes such as the Night Prowler and Mini Night Prowler.
Sorry about that. Poor planning and editing on my part. When peddling at higher speeds it’s more unconscious or it was a bad editing pick but no pressure is helping the ebike and it definitely does 30 with throttle alone. It’s also built with a 1500 watt motor so that would/should be expected to do that kind of speed.
It is about 34" with nonsuspension post, it depends on your inseam, body style. We try to overstate height so we do not misrepresent anything. Our Base models are lower frames due to not needing the extra motor mount reinforcement for this high torque motor. Possibly next year's model we can rework the down tube for the seat post and get some drop there. With Covid it is not easy to get factories to work over little wish list items because they are buried right now. I think Chris, who reviewed it here, is 5'5" and used the suspension post, it also comes with nonsuspension post to reduce height.
I am 5’5” and rode with the suspension seat post which gave me perfect full leg extension riding at the lowest position. I have a 29 inch inseam and the other seat post that comes with the bike will bring the seat down even lower. The Limited’s seat to handlebar distance is closer than my Lectric XP and this makes the Limited much more comfortable since I could sit more upright. If you’re 5’5”, it should work well for you, especially if you’re a little more experienced and like full leg extension when riding. If you want to be able to touch the ground while seated, then you’ll need to use the non-suspension post and should be able to touch the ground, just not flat footed.

@@snan9735 Sure, we can order it that way, no extra charge. We have a couple of those Prowlers at sea that should arrive in August. There is a carbon fiber finish with black wheels/black tires and a cement gray with black wheels/black tires. These have the Promax handlebar adjustable extension on them which accommodate aftermarket handlebars. If you wanted to order one on our August 1 order those would take approximately 4 months to manufacture and two months at sea so probably looking at January/February arrival. Hopefully, we can get back to the 60-70 day manufacturing and 60 day sea/export/import timeline once the Covid delays ease in 2022. Things are just double the time right now so we try to be realistic with customers then if we get some quicker turnaround it is a pleasant surprise for the customer to receive their bike earlier. Here is a walkaround of a prowler that shows the standard handlebars with the Promax stem extender. th-cam.com/video/BzmngjL3Pq4/w-d-xo.html
@@ampridesusa Hey thanks for the info.. So the carbon fiber one u have coming in is for sale? If so what is the price and what size battery?? I was thinking about the carbon fiber with white walls and yellow or gold color rims. I am 6 ft 4 so I like the higher handle bars. Thanks Scott
@@snan9735 we just sold the last carbon fiber finish gold/white combo. You can jump on August order that would be 4 months manufacturing and at least 2 months export import. Battery size is one size 17.4ah Samsung 35e 48v. On a side note I've got a cf black wheels/black tires and a cement gray (almost white see limited volt ST 90nm on our website for color) black wheels/tires. Vee zigzag zag whitewalls are +50 as is cf hydrostatic dip finish +50 vs black tires and other regular paint process colors. These are to port and expected august/September. We were also told most of this batch were upgraded to tektro auruga e500 with sensor control vs our usual e350 hyd tektros as they ran out and gave free upgrades. If so, that is a +125 freebie on these bikes. Also, we have one spare 17.4 Battery left on that batch unspoken for if anyone ends up needing it. Shipping with bike 450 separately it has to be hazmat certified and special packaging so +145, +35 and FedEx usually 35 or so depending on where it's going.
You know. You know. You know. You know. You know. You know. You know. Ridiculous when the representative from a company doesn't have any more words in their repertoire, you know?
Sorry I am not as polished and smooth talking as some. While my ADHD is an asset for going over finite details on bikes it can make conversating and doing public speaking segments nerve wracking. I build bikes to the best of my ability at the lowest price possible and try not to pad the price by paying mouthpieces to spin it. Building bikes, treating people ethically and with respect usually does not require a high level of public speaking experience. If at some point my customers are willing to pay an extra $50 a bike to hear someone else describe the bikes I will certainly be willing to hire someone to provide the polished presentation you are describing. This is the best I can do while charging the prices that I charge. I have to do it all and wear many hats to keep the overhead lower and respect people's hard earned money at this point. Our competitors have raised their prices $300-400 this year due to shipping and higher battery costs and I have not changed mine.
Well it didn't take long for $1900 to = value for an eBike. The Lectric guys must be smiling all the way to the bank. Its about volume ...not selling a few expensive (oops, I mean "value") bikes. I doubt this company survives.
Lectric bikes are an amazing value for the price. You just cannot beat their value for a beginner ebike. We respect their place in the market, our bike is more for people who need more than 9.6ah batteries, want 35 mph speed, power for hills, turn indicators and big hydraulic brakes. Small businesses do not try to compete with Walmart, they try to offer what Walmart cannot so the consumer has options.
I've bought a 1000 DS and a 750 ST From Amp Rides. Josh provides a great, high quality bike at a reasonable price - you can see and feel the difference, as I've had less quality bikes. THANK YOU Josh!!!
I can totally see where $1900+ may not seem like a “value” to many who are looking for a just a decent running ebike. I personally think the limited is worth up to $309-$500 more for what you get. It’s so hard to really explain the value on video vs experiencing riding it. The power is incredible and the piece of mind that it’s a 1500 watt nominal and doesn’t get hot even at full throttle only for an hour is amazing. I LOVE my Lectirc and that’s an ebike with amazing value for anyone who wants a well made ebike, but this Limited Volt Ebike is a completely different class and super affordable when being compared to other higher end ebikes. The limited will outperform any 750watt rated ebike out there at much higher prices because it’s a 1500 watt ebike at the core. If supply chain issues get resolved and raw material prices can be kept in check, this could be a super high demand ebike when the word gets out. I’m really considering getting one with the 52v battery and I am a super frugal consumer. Others who get to test this ebike like me will undoubtedly thrive the power once they’ve tasted it and want to use it. $1900 - $2100 is a lot of money so it’s not a bike for everyone, but I still believe it’s one of the best values for a premium ebike out there and haven’t found anything with the specs that can compare.
Yeah, definitely not something made to compare the a cheaper bike like Lecric. I've seen many reviews on the Lectric, and definitely a good buy for the person on a budget. And, and, actually, with inflation, tariffs, demand, etc... the $2,000 dollar price point is the new 'avererage' for a higher performance, or higher specs e-bike now. It's really all about preference. Are you willing to spend more for higher end, or are you willing to settle for less for the more standard that will still do the job? $999 is a good price and I see people enjoying their Lectric, but a motor that is bigger, and a battery that is bigger, that will provide FAR more range, not to mention, the gearing, the brakes, teeth, speed, etc.... I'd rather pay another thousand and have the better one. Like Bruce Jenner said, (pre-Kaitlyn, obviously) "They're ALL good, but only ONE, can be the best!" Yeah, I'd rather have the better one. No complaints here. Looking forward to my "amp rides limited!!!!" 😁
Yeah, I had to laugh at, "I doubt this company survives!" They are catering to those who want more or something different, and at a reasonable price. Yeah, they are heading in the "wrong" direction... 😂😂😂

@@ampridesusa is there an easy way to unlock it to a class 3 or 4?
IMHO if you can automate watts of motor in reverse (increasing to 1500watt while at stop then down it to 250 watt. Similarly pumping to 1500 watts to climb hill then down to 250 watts) to make it real bike that use help of electric power when on demand but remain in compliance of regulations.
how much does this bike weigh?
is this a 750 watt that PEAKS at 1500 watts?
No, it’s a 1500w nominal. It’s tuned down on arrival for 750w, but can be unlocked when you get it.
The market is getting flooded with electric bike with competitive prices, i think in next 6 months we will see good ebikes with good batteries (like this one ) and powerful motors (again like this one ) with competitive prices
I hope so! The more options out there the better. Shipping and manufacturing costs have really made ebike prices jump lately, but if more ebikes enter the market, competition should help to keep prices at a reasonable level.
I went to their website. The page for the folding bike doesn't exist. Hard to feel warm and fuzzy about a company who promotes something but then the webpage is broken.
www.ampridesusa.com/high-voltage-volt-bikes here are the folding limited bikes which has the ST this review is for. Let me know if there is something else you need help with. The 90NM 1500w unit reviewed here is specifically on this page www.ampridesusa.com/volt-1000-step-thru-limited-2 To reserve one you would go here to the custom order links www.ampridesusa.com/custom-colors-in-limited-bikes-collection or you can call or email if you need personalized help and have questions 1-407-906-4481 sales@ampridesusa.com
@@ampridesusa Thanks for the links but holy crap! Not at those prices!
@@robh063 Understood. So far we are sold out as we quick as we can build them, so it seems they work for a small niche of riders who need these specs, power etc. You might check out the Lectric XP, they are a great budget priced bike with some good features.
I guess I need to save up for this bike 😎
Nice! This bike hits ALL my requirements. Add front mount points in 2022, rubber belt with automatic transmission in 2023, and graphite solid state battery with 2000w front & back motors in 2025 for the 45 MPH motorcycle version. 😀
devils advocate but what is the limit in his area for motor size? I thought an e bike couldnt go over 20mph throttle and 28mph if class 3 with PAS or have a motor over 750 watts. I am also wrong alot, ask my wife, so take this with a grain.
Lol. This time you are correct. Technically the ebike can’t be a class 3 and must be considered off-road with a motor over 750watt or a throttle that takes you over 20mph.
The bike ships with the settings all limiting it to be under the class 3 rules, and the motor is purposely labeled at 750, but it’s really a lot more of everything and will almost fly if you unlock it to its full potential.
Why do you keep saying 1500 Watts when the 25a controller limits the output to only a peak of 1200 Watts? Even with the 52v battery option, if the controller is 25a that would be a Max peak output of 1300 Watts.
Oh geez!!! You’re right!! It’s so crazy that the video has been up for so long and your the first to catch that and I had no idea I did that. I was told it was 1500 peak and didn’t realize I never did the math on it. The motor is rated as 1500w but like you said, it will only run 1200 max with that battery and controller.
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment and correct me. I’m embarrassed I didn’t catch that and stated the incorrect info so often! Well, I can say that the motor did run very cool even when pushing it probably because it wasn’t straining. It’s still an incredible ebike and one of my all time favorites. I think It was also the fastest ebike I got to test and review.
Actual battery voltage when fully charged measures at 58.8 volts.
58.8V x 25a = 1470w
Perhaps thats why they are saying 1500w is my guess
Wow sounds like an awesome bike! From order to delivery what is the wait time? Okay you just answered my question 6 months it's a long time to wait but I guess a lengthy wait time is to be expected from all the bike companies.
We have a couple left, one is on an incoming order in August and another couple are unsold on an October or so arriving order, depends on ports, shipping. Most are presold months in advance though.
I own an ebike but the wheels are too big. Now that I have experience, I want a high powered folding bike.
If only the max weight was a bit higher (say, 350#)....
Hi, the folding bike frames are limited by the folding mechanisms typically, we get more weight capacity on our nonfolding bikes such as the Night Prowler and Mini Night Prowler.
@@ampridesusa we increased weight capacity to 330# with new welding on drop outs in rear.
Id be a player for 1400-1500 no more
I'd be a player for a Porsche at 50 60 k
You say "30 with throttle alone", but your shadow is peddling. ???
Sorry about that. Poor planning and editing on my part. When peddling at higher speeds it’s more unconscious or it was a bad editing pick but no pressure is helping the ebike and it definitely does 30 with throttle alone. It’s also built with a 1500 watt motor so that would/should be expected to do that kind of speed.
The bike on their website says its for riders 5'8 and higher. Boo!!! Hope they get smaller frames for the other half of the population. 😢
It is about 34" with nonsuspension post, it depends on your inseam, body style. We try to overstate height so we do not misrepresent anything. Our Base models are lower frames due to not needing the extra motor mount reinforcement for this high torque motor. Possibly next year's model we can rework the down tube for the seat post and get some drop there. With Covid it is not easy to get factories to work over little wish list items because they are buried right now. I think Chris, who reviewed it here, is 5'5" and used the suspension post, it also comes with nonsuspension post to reduce height.
I am 5’5” and rode with the suspension seat post which gave me perfect full leg extension riding at the lowest position. I have a 29 inch inseam and the other seat post that comes with the bike will bring the seat down even lower. The Limited’s seat to handlebar distance is closer than my Lectric XP and this makes the Limited much more comfortable since I could sit more upright. If you’re 5’5”, it should work well for you, especially if you’re a little more experienced and like full leg extension when riding. If you want to be able to touch the ground while seated, then you’ll need to use the non-suspension post and should be able to touch the ground, just not flat footed.
Website doesn't work anymore for these bikes!

@@ampridesusa good to hear,buddy!!! Unfortunately, since I couldn't order 2 bikes right at that exact moment in time, my husband now ssys, "NO!" He changed his mind; he's worse than a female!!! I'm devastated, as I've been bedridden for 6 months and an E-bike would've helped me mentally and physically heal. This really bites the big one!!!😪
He's talking about getting those cheesy Lectric ones.😡 I fell in love with these, after watching Dave Brand New and his kick butt review!!! Thanks again for getting back to me though, good luck and positive feedback to you and your company!!👍🏻 Maybe sometime in the future......
Man i wished it was right hand throttle like normal. I know for SURE id never get used to that horrible idea. Such a waste.
There are paddle shifters on the right so your thumb is already busy.
Hmm.. This info is no longer relevant I believe.
Take 40 Promo code doesn't work.
Hi Scott, it will only work on full bike purchase, if you are trying to reserve one or order one then it will be applied when final payment is made later, just shoot us an email at sales@ampridesusa.com mentioning you found us on ebikeproducts.com or give me a call 1-407-906-4481. Thx, Josh
@@ampridesusa thanks Josh. Is there a option to get the night prowler with the mini handlebars?
@@snan9735 Sure, we can order it that way, no extra charge. We have a couple of those Prowlers at sea that should arrive in August. There is a carbon fiber finish with black wheels/black tires and a cement gray with black wheels/black tires. These have the Promax handlebar adjustable extension on them which accommodate aftermarket handlebars. If you wanted to order one on our August 1 order those would take approximately 4 months to manufacture and two months at sea so probably looking at January/February arrival. Hopefully, we can get back to the 60-70 day manufacturing and 60 day sea/export/import timeline once the Covid delays ease in 2022. Things are just double the time right now so we try to be realistic with customers then if we get some quicker turnaround it is a pleasant surprise for the customer to receive their bike earlier. Here is a walkaround of a prowler that shows the standard handlebars with the Promax stem extender. th-cam.com/video/BzmngjL3Pq4/w-d-xo.html
@@ampridesusa Hey thanks for the info.. So the carbon fiber one u have coming in is for sale? If so what is the price and what size battery?? I was thinking about the carbon fiber with white walls and yellow or gold color rims. I am 6 ft 4 so I like the higher handle bars. Thanks
Scott
@@snan9735 we just sold the last carbon fiber finish gold/white combo. You can jump on August order that would be 4 months manufacturing and at least 2 months export import. Battery size is one size 17.4ah Samsung 35e 48v. On a side note I've got a cf black wheels/black tires and a cement gray (almost white see limited volt ST 90nm on our website for color) black wheels/tires. Vee zigzag zag whitewalls are +50 as is cf hydrostatic dip finish +50 vs black tires and other regular paint process colors. These are to port and expected august/September. We were also told most of this batch were upgraded to tektro auruga e500 with sensor control vs our usual e350 hyd tektros as they ran out and gave free upgrades. If so, that is a +125 freebie on these bikes. Also, we have one spare 17.4 Battery left on that batch unspoken for if anyone ends up needing it. Shipping with bike 450 separately it has to be hazmat certified and special packaging so +145, +35 and FedEx usually 35 or so depending on where it's going.
You know. You know. You know. You know. You know. You know. You know.
Ridiculous when the representative from a company doesn't have any more words in their repertoire, you know?
Sorry I am not as polished and smooth talking as some. While my ADHD is an asset for going over finite details on bikes it can make conversating and doing public speaking segments nerve wracking. I build bikes to the best of my ability at the lowest price possible and try not to pad the price by paying mouthpieces to spin it. Building bikes, treating people ethically and with respect usually does not require a high level of public speaking experience. If at some point my customers are willing to pay an extra $50 a bike to hear someone else describe the bikes I will certainly be willing to hire someone to provide the polished presentation you are describing. This is the best I can do while charging the prices that I charge. I have to do it all and wear many hats to keep the overhead lower and respect people's hard earned money at this point. Our competitors have raised their prices $300-400 this year due to shipping and higher battery costs and I have not changed mine.
Well it didn't take long for $1900 to = value for an eBike. The Lectric guys must be smiling all the way to the bank. Its about volume ...not selling a few expensive (oops, I mean "value") bikes. I doubt this company survives.
Lectric bikes are an amazing value for the price. You just cannot beat their value for a beginner ebike. We respect their place in the market, our bike is more for people who need more than 9.6ah batteries, want 35 mph speed, power for hills, turn indicators and big hydraulic brakes. Small businesses do not try to compete with Walmart, they try to offer what Walmart cannot so the consumer has options.
I've bought a 1000 DS and a 750 ST From Amp Rides. Josh provides a great, high quality bike at a reasonable price - you can see and feel the difference, as I've had less quality bikes. THANK YOU Josh!!!
I can totally see where $1900+ may not seem like a “value” to many who are looking for a just a decent running ebike. I personally think the limited is worth up to $309-$500 more for what you get. It’s so hard to really explain the value on video vs experiencing riding it. The power is incredible and the piece of mind that it’s a 1500 watt nominal and doesn’t get hot even at full throttle only for an hour is amazing. I LOVE my Lectirc and that’s an ebike with amazing value for anyone who wants a well made ebike, but this Limited Volt Ebike is a completely different class and super affordable when being compared to other higher end ebikes. The limited will outperform any 750watt rated ebike out there at much higher prices because it’s a 1500 watt ebike at the core. If supply chain issues get resolved and raw material prices can be kept in check, this could be a super high demand ebike when the word gets out. I’m really considering getting one with the 52v battery and I am a super frugal consumer. Others who get to test this ebike like me will undoubtedly thrive the power once they’ve tasted it and want to use it. $1900 - $2100 is a lot of money so it’s not a bike for everyone, but I still believe it’s one of the best values for a premium ebike out there and haven’t found anything with the specs that can compare.
Yeah, definitely not something made to compare the a cheaper bike like Lecric. I've seen many reviews on the Lectric, and definitely a good buy for the person on a budget. And, and, actually, with inflation, tariffs, demand, etc... the $2,000 dollar price point is the new 'avererage' for a higher performance, or higher specs e-bike now. It's really all about preference. Are you willing to spend more for higher end, or are you willing to settle for less for the more standard that will still do the job? $999 is a good price and I see people enjoying their Lectric, but a motor that is bigger, and a battery that is bigger, that will provide FAR more range, not to mention, the gearing, the brakes, teeth, speed, etc.... I'd rather pay another thousand and have the better one. Like Bruce Jenner said, (pre-Kaitlyn, obviously) "They're ALL good, but only ONE, can be the best!" Yeah, I'd rather have the better one. No complaints here. Looking forward to my "amp rides limited!!!!" 😁
Yeah, I had to laugh at, "I doubt this company survives!" They are catering to those who want more or something different, and at a reasonable price. Yeah, they are heading in the "wrong" direction... 😂😂😂
