Me too! I've tested a few ebikes with the carbon belt drive and it's really smooth. I realized this morning that the belt drive option is only available on the black model. I would pay an extra $100 for it even though the chain drive works perfectly fine. An extra $100 for no grease and less maintenance is a small price to pay if you don't like getting grease on you or your clothes (or car if you transport it) which is something I would do. $899 for the belt version overall is such a great deal overall I'd probably recommend it over the chain for anyone who is also on the fence.
I personally think it's worth it for a belt drive. Mostly because I like that it's grease free and should outlast the ebike, plus belts are sooo smooth. Not that the chain is rough as its a single gear, but belts are really amazing.
Will the Lite 2.0 battery fit in the Lite 1.0 bike? I'm guessing not if there is a 14Ah option. That would require the DCH-006 430 mm battery case that the XP 1/2/3 use. You can't exceed 10.5 Ah in the DCH-006 410 mm battery case that the Lite 1.0 uses. Please confirm!
Thank you for the question! It was something I should've asked Lectric about earlier and put in the video as that is something a lot of people may want to know. I reached out to Lectric and this was the answer I got, "The battery from the XP Lite 1.0 will work with the XP Lite 2.0 but the Long Range for the XP Lite 2.0 will not work for the XP Lite 1.0." Now I know the answer too! Thanks again.
@@EbikeProducts Thanks, that's what I suspected. Also confirmed in Ebike Escape's video here: th-cam.com/video/ThgOxxtJ93E/w-d-xo.html where he mentions the frame was extended to fit that battery. I also noticed Lectric says the new bike is 64" in length whereas the old one was 63".
Are the dimensions of the display the same as the old black and one display? I want to know if I can put one of those battery chart covers on this one from an old display.
I am really sorry, but that I don't know the answer to. If you reach out to Lectric, they have great customer service and should be able to give you an accurate answer.
It does sound tough to achieve. I haven’t done a range test but I’ve been riding this bike a lot lately and have noticed the drain is really slow on the battery on PAS1. Their PWR programming is very efficient and only puts out 50watts. So I do believe it’s possible for ‘ideal’ conditions with a rider on flat ground that’s about 150lbs on PAS1 the whole way especially with how light the bike it and the street tires having such low drag. 40 miles is a long way though, so that range may have been achieved on a machine that did the measuring.
No way in hell it can make 40 miles unless it's all downhill. Le tric designs their bikes for you to add a second battery. Good bikes but lame batteries this the cheap prices. With that being said I own two and both have two batteries.
Electric is out of their mind selling 300 watt Ebikes with 7 ah batteries for 800 bucks. There's bikes just like this with more features for half the price . You can get a 1000 watt Ebike with 40 eh battery now a days for a couple hundred more than this toy.
Thanks for commenting and sharing! Please put some links to those ebikes you mentioned! I'd love to reach out to those companies and review them. Other viewers would love to save some money. If there are ebikes for that cheap that are that good, I definitely want to make videos on them. Gotta love how tech is getting cheaper and the over supply of great components like hydraulic brakes and other parts are such a blessing.
Bro why you lying and saying that a 7.8 ah battery is going to go 40 miles. Bro do better . I get you want to sell this junk and get free bikes to review but 1 ah is basically a mile per AH. If you dona LIVE on this bike and get 40 miles on that battery I'll buy 5 off of you for 900 each.
Sorry, it's on PAS1 that allows you to get that kind of range, not throttle only on PAS5. The new PWR system today is much more efficient that 1ah per mile for most of the new ebikes that are made in 2024 and a lot in even 2023. There are very few now that only give you 1ah per mile now. 40 miles will require help from the rider for sure, but definitely achievable.
It's ok. My XP 2.0 is Great. Have over 2000 miles on it so far. Not even a flat tire so far. I own 4 brands now. Some faster, none finer.
WHOA! Over 2000 miles! That's awesome! Love the last part of your comment "Some faster, none finer".
Nice upgrades there, Chris! I especially like the carbon belt drive...

Great review! 😎
I didn’t see you demonstrating the headlights or taillights. Do the headlights and taillights have also have a blinking feature?
Sorry, the Lite 2.0 does not have blinking features
I really want the black. But not sure I want a belt drive.

40 miles on 7 amp battery?…that doesn’t sound like a true statement at all

@@EbikeProducts ya i don't know about that its a 48v battery if its higher voltage maybe come on brother!
