Whoa- good informative video, but don’t strain your back lifting it into the tub! Stand the tub up on end, ROLL the folded bike in (wheels down, seat up) then lower the tub to the ground. To load into car get a large dog ramp, Place container across ramp and slide up. Still some work involved but beats lifting by a mile (another youtuber shows this very nicely) and I have used this method to pack up my 3.0 and drive an hour to a friend’s house for a ride
I bought my 3.0 two weeks or so ago and just ordered another one for my wife. Both step-through and bigger batteries. I bought the baskets, but may not use them much. My wife wanted a bag instead so I also ordered the Lectric pannier bags for her. I'd have liked to have seen you test that. I was hesitant on the air pump. If you think it's a good product, I'll order that. I've also been considering a bell or horn, probably a horn of some sort. Those single ding bells that come with some bikes,🙄
Great video. The water bottle holder that you show in the video and linked to in the comments is exactly what I was looking for. You called it the best water bottle holder ever.
How do you get the Thule Yepp strap around the seat post? It doesn’t seem to be long enough on my Yepp. Can I just wrap it around the rest of the rack, instead?
@9:35, how in the world do you get the seat attached? Did you just force that base into the gap? Are there manufacturing repeatability issues with the rack or the Yepp base? I’ve tried and tried. I think the only way to insert it will be by trimming down the notch so that it will fit. I even got the adapter because there was no way I was getting it in without matching that gap larger, but the adapter doesn’t open up wide enough to grab onto the outside of the rack. Any tips on installation
My lectric 3.0 came with waterproof pannier bags. The written description of how to attach them is confusing. I'm a visual learner and appreciate your videos!
QUESTION: It sounds like you guys have logged a bunch of miles with kids in the Yepp Maxi mounted in the rack. Do you guys often/ ever/ never experience dorking the back of your feet on the Yepp foot guard area while pedaling? On the XPedition , the Yepp is waaay back and not an issue, but on the XP 3.0, things are tight.
In your previous accessories video for the XP 2.0, you reviewed the Premium headlight and compared it with the stock headlight. The Premium didn't look that much brighter. For the XP 3.0, is the Elite an upgraded headlight and have you compared it with the Premium headlight? If so, please describe the noticeable differencees. Also, do you know if the Elite consume more battery life than the previous versions?
Me and my wife are retired n new to this sport, she is getting the lite version and me the 3.0, what would you say are a few must have assories to start?
Had anyone found a quick disconnect solution for that cargo package? I have an XP Lite that I can barely stuff into my trunk. Having any of the baskets attached while stowing is a no-go. Something like a screw-in stub that accommodates a quarter-turn or ball-detent pin would be ideal.
How about showing accessories that fit the XP TRIKE? I know most that fit the 3.0 XP will fit the TRIKE, but LECTRIC shows mainly their branded trike accessories, while many other quality universal accessories will also fit the TRIKE.
Definitely a Lectric screw up. They don’t even address on their website. I now see they might have two different models of the rack, were the moved the connection point to the front of the rack instead the closer to the middle of the rack. I’m not sure it works any better after seeing other videos. Shame on Lectric.
It looks like the passenger seat might sit lower than the passenger seat on the Rad Power Plus. I would think that might have a bearing on the comfort of the passenger. Are legs more bent than extended? Are there any specs that show something like the inches from the seat to the pegs? Would love your thoughts. Great video.
Are those Hafny mirrors the regular 62 diameter or the larger 68? Wondering if the bigger ones really make a difference. About to order a pair through your link. 🙂
Airtags with the speaker removed seem like a good option. Make sure you also have a high quality lock and alarm as well if you're concerned about theft. I'm awaiting a good Android solution.
I watched the video on assembling my new 3.0. I am a retired 81 year old lady toolmaker and figured I can do this. Nowhere in the video did you mention that there is plug where the bike folds that had to be removed. I couldn’t get the bike closed until I crawled on my belly like a reptile and spotted the plug and removed it. Thanks alot
Hello guys great video since I’ll be purchasing my first ebike soon one question can I fit the Thule Yepp mini which goes in front holding the front tube is it compatible?? I would to be able carry my daughter in front instead of the back.
Because of the long front stem, I am not sure I would want to mount a child seat off of it. I do believe I have seen some people on the facebook groups that do it though.
Do you guys know of any covers for the battery/ connection points on the bike when it is folded? I would like to have more protection on the post when I transport my bike.
New subscriber - Great video. I clicked on your link to maybe order two 3.0's and did not find a discount code. All I found was their Black Friday sale prices. Do you have a discount code to get a better price? Thanks!
Got my bike two weeks ago. Major issue with the battery, it will not fit in the slot. Unable to use the bike. Waiting for some kind of fix from Lectric. Not too happy about this purchase. Wish this was mentioned in the review that this is an issue with this bike.
Oh the passenger seat set up is cute, but I would not take a passenger on my electric bicycle. I would use the motorcycle for that and funny enough the extra capacity on the electric bike and the motorcycle are both 150 pounds for the small motorcycle I have in addition to what I already weigh, so let’s just say the cannot be gravitationally challenged
I found 28psi to be a good result of rolling resistance versus the wimpy front fork springs. I do have the rear tire higher though. In that 30-35 range. I’m around 250 pounds so take that into consideration.
Videos 🔥! Thx man u guys are a couple a pimps fr. lol picked up a couple really nice-looking silver modern style hafny mirrors for my 3.0. Gonna b so nice 2 not hav 2 do yoga poses 2 see traffic😂I'll try 2 go thru u guys when i order mor stuff So u can get a taste of the sweet action😅 I refer to my bike as the Kook canceler since 75% of the people in my neighborhood don't understand how to use an intersection it's so nice 2 be able 2 just be out of there and not have 2 deal with their ungodly never-ending confusion n side note: jus want u guys 2 kno ever since i got my ebike i pop the collar on my polos, blast yaught rock, n proclaim 2 everyone that I'm "about that life." 🤣😭💀
It's possible the adapter plate or maybe the other Thule seat with the clamping system. Not 100% sure and make sure you follow the weight limits of the rear rack.
The Lectric branded seat post fits right in. However if you want to run the SR Suntour one. You will need to step down from 31.6 to 27.9 (assuming you get the 27.9 sr Suntour post).
@@EbikeEscape I was asking about the smaller battery size, not the ah. We bought the extended battery. I was wondering if it worked inside the larger battery compartment.
@@EbikeEscape are you saying that the battery that’s in the $999 bike is the same physical size as the one that’s in the $1199 bike? It’s just the ah’s that’s different?
Yes. “Ah” refers to “Amp Hours” which refers to battery size. The smaller battery is a 10ah and the larger “extended range” battery is the 14ah. So yes, the 10ah and 14ah battery are the same size and will fit each.
I was never too happy with these little mirrors that ruin the look of an ebike. Just finished installing an akaso action camera on the back then ran a hdmi cable to a razer hdmi capture card then to my phone. Nice wide angle image looks sweet on my phone. Can record too. Wast exactly cheap. But cheaper than the apeman cycling rearview camera they sell.
Hey out there! Buy more accessories for your lectric ebike. MAYBE they will come with written instructions, unlike the ebike itself that does NOT come with a user guide.
I question if lectric bike is legitimate I cannot get through on an email and thought it might be because I am in Canada but I had my brother in the US also try and email and it was also rejected what say you, also it is virtually impossible to get through on the phone
There was the recent rework of the XP 3.0 to hydraulic brakes. So that is why there is the delay now. Prior to this you could get one shortly after ordering.
Well we ordered a trike and a Xp and both were supposed to ship in June and now they say maybe by the end of July but no promises! I’m really disappointed in this company so far and their customer service people are overwhelmed and have no answers!!!! I wish now I had went with another company
Sure but we have a camping trip coming up and we ordered for this trip now it’s to late to order from another company. So might as well get a neighbor to put them in my garage when they finally show while we are out of town
I'm interested in Amp Rides folding E-Bikes. Just wanted to let ya know. The Amp bikes that are folding seem to be very nice, high power and interesting . 👍
The Elite light, when attached to the rack, rubs the tire making it un-rideable. Why wouldn’t Lectric fix this? I guess that is why the gave the light away in their promo. I thought Lectric was a better company. 😮.

Lectic front and rear "turn signals" (visible in both day and night) would be great if they could be plugged into the power supply

Love the communicator stuff on rides when we are on motorcycles .. Very cool.
Sena makes some great stuff for the motorcycle space too.
Double Take mirrors are the best mirror on the market. Motor cycle grade and are adaptable to bike bars with proper clamp mount.👍
I see some bikes hanging on the wall. Can I take my 3.0 and hang it to make more room or will this bend the tire rim?
the passenger seat has insets for the screws. I didn't take my off. I think it helps hold the seat better.
I bought my 3.0 two weeks or so ago and just ordered another one for my wife. Both step-through and bigger batteries. I bought the baskets, but may not use them much.

The pump feels of decent quality. I had been using it for 3 weeks before we showed it off. No issues yet.
I own the pump and absolutely see it as a time changer and no guessing. Love this pump.
I bought it and am pleased with it. The screw on valve connection can be tricky but I’d still buy it again.
bungie cord a blue tooth speaker into that basket me son!

Where can I get the tote bin? The ones I saw at Lowes had handles the protruded out making the overall length too big for me.
Would love to have a cell phone holder similar to the style you show, but with a USB port integrated in the mount. Have you guys come across one?

Can you get a full seat for the passenger with a backrest? please and thanks for your videos.
You covered alot of info very fast. For time purpose. But it was lacking in dept for me. I get you guys are in the business it was just ok.
Thanks

what wall rack do you use? Wanting to store my 3.0 on the wall but the fenders and wide tires make it difficult to find one that works.... thanks!

Agree I'm looking at getting the trike and would love to see accessories
What size tub are you using? That’s a great idea!
Please do a similar video on the new Lectric Xpress. Thanks.
A Garmin in reach GPS emergency communication device could be good in some circumstances if you go out in areas to explore.
Where can I get that tote? It’s perfect!
How about a canopy? For those hot or rainy days.
Have you heard anyone concerned with the light below the front rack rubbing or bumping against the tire?
Needs to be bent up slightly if it's the elite headlight - in our experience
I moved my headlight above the rack to avoid the problem entirely.
yeah I'm currently having that issue/keeps coming loose after re-tightening headlight.. how did you install about rack?
Definitely a Lectric screw up. They don’t even address on their website. I now see they might have two different models of the rack, were the moved the connection point to the front of the rack instead the closer to the middle of the rack.

Should be covered in the first year warranty,
Do you have a recommendation for aftermarket Lectric front baskets?
Do you still stand by the Thule child seat for this bike or have you found a better one? Thank you!
Yes!
Nice showing David Brand New stem 👍
He has designed a great item. We like to be able to show it off.
Great video. Thanks for the info.
Glad it was helpful!
It looks like the passenger seat might sit lower than the passenger seat on the Rad Power Plus. I would think that might have a bearing on the comfort of the passenger. Are legs more bent than extended? Are there any specs that show something like the inches from the seat to the pegs? Would love your thoughts. Great video.
I'd have to have them side by side but my hunch is you are correct. Thanks for watching.
Are those Hafny mirrors the regular 62 diameter or the larger 68? Wondering if the bigger ones really make a difference. About to order a pair through your link. 🙂
I bought the Hafny mirrors that mounts on the handlebars. Really cheap the mirror broke with the slighest knock.
Interesting I've been riding with them for years and I think the quality is top notch. All of my family members also use them with no issues.
@EbikeEacape can you put the large cargo basket with dog basket from rad on a lectric 3.0?
Not straight on. You would probably have to modify the mount for the basket to the rack. Also be mindful of the weight limit on the XP 3.0 front rack.
Excellent video 📹! Wondering if you guys recommend also any GPS tracking devices just in case it gets stolen...
Airtags with the speaker removed seem like a good option. Make sure you also have a high quality lock and alarm as well if you're concerned about theft. I'm awaiting a good Android solution.

Them Gyatt seat is crazy 🤪
Nice! What about the bell?
Great accsy's! Does the flexing seat post clear the clampon passenger bars?
As long as you are not on the low end of the height range, then yes there is enough west post to clamp the handlebars on to.
Good stuff! Nice job guys !👍
Thanks! 👍
What does the front bracket attach to on the passenger seat? Mine doesn’t lineup at all.
You just kind of "make it work" so it locks into place. The rear one fits nicely.
Would you happen to know the size shim needed for that seat post on the 3.0.
Should be 31.8 to 27.2 (verify what you're buying)
Got my bike two weeks ago. Major issue with the battery, it will not fit in the slot. Unable to use the bike. Waiting for some kind of fix from Lectric. Not too happy about this purchase. Wish this was mentioned in the review that this is an issue with this bike.
What bike stand will handle a XP 3.0 eBike?
There are quite a few. Park Tool 10.3 is rated for 80lbs.
amzn.to/42M5suE (affiliate link)
Consider doing a review for detachable pedals. Simply removing one pedal will prevent a thief from peddling away with your Ebike.
Excellent idea!

Nice job guys; thank you. What tire pressure do you recommend for this bike? We just got two.
30-35 is a good standard pressure that we run.
I found 28psi to be a good result of rolling resistance versus the wimpy front fork springs. I do have the rear tire higher though. In that 30-35 range. I’m around 250 pounds so take that into consideration.

You can take the battery out and charge it separately from the bike.
I want to put a thule seat on a XP 1.0. What do I need to that?
It's possible the adapter plate or maybe the other Thule seat with the clamping system. Not 100% sure and make sure you follow the weight limits of the rear rack.

Dual center kickstand?
That would be great!
Cover recommendations for Trike.
As soon as we get one in hand we definitely will.
Anyone got a link to the plastic tub?
Our next folding review will feature a NEW tub (and I'll have a link)
Does anyone know if the smaller battery fits into the large battery compartment? We would like to carry one as a spare.
Yes. Both the 10ah and 14ah batteries have the same case size and fit into the same size spots on the XP 2.0 and 3.0.
