22:40 Wow! Just... Wow 🥺! That's what separates your BISH'S from the other ones! We hear the stories about your family and can connect your family history with what some of us are going thru right now! Thank you Josh for telling us about the times with your father and your family history. You are willing to pour your heart out to us in videos means a lot to us in the Nerd Herd. We all love you Josh!
TY Robert. I handed that white step thru to my dad after his cheap junk "ebike" went to pot. We rode around the other day. It was awesome This is something we NEVER could've done otherwise
We bought two step thru 3.0s a couple weeks ago. Got the passenger package to carry our granddaughter around. Also, you can get a good workout in pedal assist settings O, but you can also zip around with ease on higher settings. Looking forward to using them camping this summer.
Josh I watch your videos all the time, and believe it or not I have literally been looking at this 3.0 version for the past month and ran across this video tonight. You have helped me make up my mind, definitely going with the 3.0
Thanks for the review Josh! I've watched several of this new model already and yours is the one that presents the info in a way that helps me the most! We plan to use our ebikes for errands (like shopping or laundry), plus going places where parking is inconvenient (some towns and trailheads can get crazy crowded for parking). Exploring the outdoors should be fun too.
Solid Review. Just a tip for the current Black Friday Sale (with free bundle of suspension post and seat, lock and light) for $999. Notice the "extended range (another 4ah more) for $200 more: Why not just get the $999 standard version and order an extra 10.4ah battery for $300? So instead of a $1,200 XP 3.0 with a 14ah pack (only 35% more range) , for $1,300 you got a fully loaded, XP 3.0 with a giant 20.8 ah battery supply (100% more range). You just strap the 2nd battery strapped on the rack or tote in pannier or backpack). For short rides, just leave the extra pack at home. Just as the $999 10.4 amp XP 3.0 is incomparable, there's no match for $1,300 XP 3.0 with a 20.8ah battery capacity That's 35-90 miles of range on a fully suspended (with free comfort package) folding for $1,300! Another thing that the XP 3.0 has above most others is that after three iterations, the design is now "sorted" and "debugged" (wider bars, stronger rack, better front suspension, better/stronger motor (bigger controller). etc.
I like this type of video. I appreciate you 'expanding' your video's to anything related to camping/RV'ing. It helps that it's coming from someone as knowledgeable as you. Keep em' coming Josh.
Hey Josh, great video as usual. My wife and I have a Lectric 2.0 and we will be getting a 3.0 soon. We found the RV that we want and bought the Tow vehicle today. Let the adventures begin 🙂
Bishin enough of a review to have me procure one for my wife. Yes, she is young but had a sever ankle injury a couple years ago and it still gets sore after some normal riding time. I must say, its my 1st delve into E-Bikes and I am glad I spent just a tad more on this one than some of the others out there. She is really liking it so far. Thanks Josh!
Thanks for the information Josh. I have been contemplating e-bikes for some time but just have been hesitant because of the prices. I don't want to make that kind of investment and then not like it or use it. You have answered almost every question I have had about them.
@@GermoWorld I did buy two, one for me and my wife. A company called SONDERS. They started a few years ago and I have watched them since they crowd funded. They recently had one model they call STEP with a very good price on refurbished bikes with a 90 day warranty. I bought 2 and 1 was perfect while the second one had a couple of issues that the company totally took care of without hassle. So far (I haven't had much chance to ride because we have 2 feet of snow and ice yet) I am impressed with the bikes and the company support.
Thanks for the review Josh! I gave up cycling a while back unfortunately. After smoking for 34 years and then having major hernia surgery and the fact that i am 53 years old i just had to give it up, but have been looking at e-bikes a lot lately. This video helped out a lot.
I handed my stepthru 2.0 to my dad. He is similar. He just cannot pedal and breathe. His birthday was two days before mine. We went on a ride thru the park together. It was awesome.
Good video Josh. Happy Birthday. My wife and I got the Lite Lectrics to see if they would be worth it to us. We met a couple who had the 2.0s at Acadia National park and they wanted ours while we, of course, wanted theirs. Once we have more time to see the sights we'll upgrade. We carry ours in the back of our Subaru in large plastic tubs covered with a moving blanket for ease and so they don't knock around. They fit side by side with the back seat down. We went through Canada on vacation and the customs guys just glanced in the back window and didn't blink and eye. You can still use them for exercise by not using the assist, but there is a mode that still slightly assists to help overcome the weight. Loving ours so far. Haven't tried going through a closet yet.😯
Haven't tried the closet crash yet? Dude.. you haven't LIVED until you've almost destroyed the entry area of your house with your newfangled electric toy bike lololol
Well, all I need now is an RV from Haylett and a pair of 3,0s, one with a set of rod holders on the back and that rack to carry my tackle box. Thanks again Josh,again your indepth assessment of the Lectric,my wife and I loved it.
Nice info. I've been looking at these for awhile. I'm disabled and an amputee and am not super steady on my legs.One of these might be good for me getting around the neighborhood and running errands ( weather permitting).Being on a fixed income now I am going to be losing my car ( repoed and can't afford to keep it with disability).So something like this will still allow me to get out of the house and still do things.
May 28, 2024 .. enjoyed your video & comments. We just purchased one & cant wait to get it . Had no idea you had one ! We should of known 🙌. Enjoy all your videos on everything.
We bought two of the 2.0's this spring and take them everywhere with us in our class C motor home. They will even fit in without folding them. I fitted baskets on the rear rack and we even take our two small dogs for trips around the campgrounds we visit. I am 71 and my wife is 65 and we have no problem loading and unloading them. These bikes go on every camping trip with us.
Glad I stumbled onto your channel. Silly but really informative and helpful. I enjoy you twisted sense of humor. Reminds me of myself. Good Lord help me.
Yeah it’s usually your own people that’s plotting on you. Watch your back brotha. I just bought my xp 3.0 I’ve had the 2.0 for about 8 months it broke down after 4000 miles but lectric has been sending me parts to fix it so hey in todays world you can’t ask for more than that. Love the video
I waited for the 3.0 to see if it made some of the improvements I wanted. It did so I got two and they are the best value e-bikes on the market. We mainly plan to use them with the RV. Love your videos!
Awesome to hear someone else echo my feelings. I really didn't expect them to be THAT much better I went back and rode my 2.0 after this 3.0 and it was truly eye opening
I have the Specialized Turbo Tero 5.0. It has a hefty price tag, but for what I do it is just about perfect. My only gripe is airlines won't let me ship it as checked baggage.
I bought the 2.0 this past March. It fits nicely between the foot of the bed and the dinette in my Jayco Jay flight SLX 8 224BH (folded and in a tote). Very satisfied as it takes me up extremely steep hills and gets me around town for some exercise. I have a mobility issue, and my Lectric Bike 2.0 gives me peace of mind knowing that I will be able to get home if my legs decide they are done. I did watch your 1st video review on the 2.0 before I made the purchase. Thank you for your honesty, and humor, in all your video reviews.
I tried my 2.0 going up "Hillzilla" as my family calls it near our house. It did admirably. It worked, but it made it. This 3.0 didn't even sneeze. That extra torque is NO JOKE
Thanks Josh, very informative review. Like some of the other commentators,I’ve been thinking about an e-bike. Actually for my wife but would also occasionally use it as well. I’m a bike rider and always bring my mountain bike along when we RV. My wife, on the other hand, doesn’t enjoy peddling. The few times (years ago) we brought her bike along it didn’t get used so I don’t even bother bringing it anymore. In fact her bicycle hasn’t been out of the garage in a VERY long time, it basically is a towel rack for my car washing towels 😂 I think that she would be much more likely to ride with me around the campgrounds on the e-bike. Not to mention I, like you, am just an overgrown kid and love my “toys” and know that it’s much easier to justify to my wife spending the money if it’s “for you honey” so we can (as you stressed) spend more quality time together while RVing. I’m sending her the link to this video now. I think Santa will be bringing my wife an e-bike for Christmas.
Frankly for no more biking than I do I'd get the Lite series but for the purposes of this video I wanted one that was fully decked out and went with the full XP 3.0
Nice introduction to the new 3.0. I owned most of the Lectric bikes, the 1.0, 2.0, and the XPremium. I passed down my 1.0 and 2.0 to friends. Even though the 3.0 is great I know they will come out with a 4.0 probably with the 750 hub motor. I am sure the 3.0 is a great upgrade, I have heard some people talking about how the brakes squeal. I would like for the 3.0 to have hydraulic brakes like the XPremium.That would be a game changer for me to buy it. My older 1.0 and 2.0 that I gave to friends, I see all the time, because we go riding together. Nice video, thumbs up!
Josh I've had my 2.0 for about 6 months and I love it to. And you are right it is not for the weak it's got some girth to it. I just ordered my wife an electric trike I wish Lectric had trikes I would have bought it. Glad to see you diversifying. Keep up the great work.
You are awsome me and my husband ride e bikes and Ii have the lectric brand and I love it I wrecked my first ride on and couldn't walk on my left ancle for 8 weeks but I got right back on asap .we love it and we ate home hoping to buy a couple travel trailer when we retired
@@markmurto I don't know about your State but in Ohio as long as it has pedals that work and a motor under 50cc and goes less the 25 mph your fine. No license , Insurance or plates. If a motorized bicycle has more than 1 gear or a CVT transmission it's a motorcycle.
I'm looking to purchase an e-bike. I found one of these used in 2.0 and now I'm gonna schedule a time to look a it. This has been most helpful. Thanks.
Not sure how I missed this video before, but it was great. I know many folks who use e-bikes as a method of exercise while also using it other times as an easier way to get around. Their great for many situations.
My wife can't keep up with me on a regular bike, E-bikes are awesome for people that aren't as physically fit so they can explore and do things with more fit people. Thanks for the review.
This would be great for my daughter who is at A&M. Big campus and she has to use the e-bikes (pay through an app for each ride) to get to class sometimes. She would be late taking the bus or walking. This would be Ideal. Thanks Nerd! Also, the leaves/trees are beautiful. Don't get that down here in TX.
@@JoshtheRVNerd We are going with the step thru and they are offering a Black Friday sale with a Bundle right now. Plus military discount. Gonna be an early Christmas present. Giving it to her when she comes back for Thanksgiving. Really glad you did this review/updated review.
Also get her a really good lock. These things are high theft items.i imagine even more so on campus. She might consider taking the battery with her when in class ect.
Just my two cents worth: I found the "2.0" a little too heavy to take camping. It was unwieldy when moving it in or out of the RV, folded or not. We bought the XP Lite for my wife and, at 45 lbs., was much easier to handle. It doesn't have all the niceties of the 2 or 3.0 but doesn't weigh 20 lbs. more and fits the bill for us older people who aren't looking to pop a wheelie. 😁
We road a couples Rad Bikes around and we’re hooked. We bought Vivowave on Amazon, but electric bikes have changed our lives. Our first trip was all over town (15 miles in flip flops), second was to a state park 18 miles round trip, etc. It was a huge reason we got a Flagstaff with 300# hitch in the back.
Thanks for doing this. Your nerdiness is preciouse. RVers are now going to electric bikes. This is what we need. Now promote the Black Widow aluminum bike racks. Good note about the pedal height. Josh, you do not need a helmet, damage is already done! and 6-7 MPH is all you are QCed for Josh!
Awesome video Josh we have 3 first gen xp's and you right we have a bunkhouse and we put two in the rv and one in the truck. Zero problems with the bikes, and are bike has around 400 miles on them. My wife wanted a golf cart then she found some rv parks don't allow golf carts. So with the bike and dog trailer to carry stuff like grocery and laundry makes up for the golf cart.
These are such a great idea for people who want the fresh air and a bit of exercise but aren't able to full on pedal a regular bike and need an assist for hills etc. You said you have 3 dads but only mentioned 2. I'm confused. Not my business but you were sharing.
No worries! There's my dad that brought me into this world There's my dad that I got when my mom remarried (That's Mr. Haylett) And there's my dad that I got when I married my wife
Good video, Josh. I always like your RV videos. I highly recommend taking safety seriously and wearing a properly fitted helmet, with the chinstrap adjusted correctly and latched. The pink helmet was cute, but seriously, brain injuries are awful.
I’ve watched a number of reviews on this brand bike, and I was glad to see my favorite RV guy do a review - and I learned a LOT more from your review than any other! Made my choice to buy easier! Thanks Josh!
Hey Josh! Just received 2, xp3.0 Step-thru.. One black & one white. So far our experience is 50/50. One arrived damage & other was almost perfect. Been able to ride & get accustomed with different ergonomics. (use to Harley Road Glides) Their exactly what we want & can't wait for both of us to ride together! Great review!
UPDATE on Damaged Box: Josh @ Lectric was very understanding & sent me new pedal assembly to replace the broken one done by FedEx in transit. I have pics of package (big hole in box) 3 broken pieces of the padal assembly & chips of paint where the pedal bounced around. Lectric eBikes went above & beyond what I thought they would do, and Grateful of their generosity. As for FedEx, they still haven't returned my call...... Anyone looking at ebikes should consider Lectric!!! Based in Arizona (I believe so) their customer support system works fast & efficient. The whole Lectric eBike operation is very professional. Thanks to Josh & the whole team @ LECTRIC!!!
@@stonestreetcycles I had the same experience! The box arrived with a ginormous hole in it. Fortunately my bike wasn't damaged, but what the hell is FedEx doing with their customers' packages? Lectric really needs to sit down with FedEx executives and tell them to stop abusing their customers' parcels. (My first Lectric ebike that I bought three years ago also suffered some shipping damage. So FedEx is 0 for 2.)
Awesome video. Thanks for the info on this. Presented in a way that makes it easy to understand. As me and my wife extens into Senior years, these look like an answer for us to keep recreational biking while continuing to camp. Cheers!
Great vid as always. However, you may be the RV Need, but I'm a bit of an e-bike nerd myself and I am a little more critical about those (Lectric) bikes. Awesome for wearing a bucket to protect the noggin though! Keep up with the vids! We surely enjoy watching them.
I'm sure there are better bikes out there. As I said I definitely don't claim to be an expert by any means. For someone of my casual level it's frankly more bike than I need
Hey Josh, I just wanted to say that my wife and I absolutely love watching your videos. You are the reason we just purchased a 2021 Jayco 264BH last week. It's our first RV. We would have loved to have purchased it directly from you, but we live in Alabama and we bought this one from an individual for a great price. As soon as we bought it, we had to get the fridge removed and warrantied though. It's the Norcold N8DC 12v. Hopefully that's the only hiccup we will experience for a while. We can't wait to get camping. I'm sorry this is long winded but do you think you could make a video covering some storage and accessory ideas just for the 264? Thanks so much for your infinite wisdom, oh RV Nerd sir. Keep the vids coming and we'll keep watching. Peace, brother.
With all the coverage I have right now I'm probably not going to be able to make videos quite to that level of specificity but maybe join something like the Jayco RV Club on facebook - over 40,000 people there with ideas! Also would you mind dropping me a quick review at g.page/r/CdPcitNVx2nDEAg/review in return for the helpful info on that 264?
that was fun, i have more to say hopefully later, 2 things we have in common shockingly, we both drive 2012 kia souls and both enjoy cruising time w/our dad's. that shocked me. thank you.
I'm actually in the process of selling my soul.. my _Kia_ Soul that is lol Just got into a new Ford Maverick and really enjoying it But man the Kia did well by me
Hi Josh from Michigan, I'm Josh from Michigan too and enjoy same things as you, RV and gadgets and things that enhance enjoying nature. I enjoy coming across your content. New sub acquired lol
14:25 We can only (ONLY) do 10mph in my campground, where I live Josh! The owner (Mr. Reid) had a "Speed Limit 10" about every 20 feet apart. He's not afraid to go after anyone, who's going too fast with his golf cart either! 😂
The rainbows are so you. 😁 If you are going to do more of these you should invest in a helmet camera mount. We have talked about ebikes for use when we travel. We frequently end up in small coastal towns where parking is limited and roads are narrow. These look like a good way to get around and not having to worry about moving the truck when we decide it is time to go eat or visit the next microbrewery on the route.
Just ordered my new XP 3.0 white step-through model yesterday. I can’t wait to get it! Nice review! I have to ask, did you call it a schwimano shifter on purpose? Lol..gave me a good laugh either way.
I bought a ale trio 2.0 A year and a half ago to commute to work in order to save gas. I have over 5000 miles on it now, going on 6000, and I’ve saved thousands in gas. It’s been a great experience and the company is very responsive if there are any problems. I couldn’t have had a better experience.
Been looking at e-bikes. That 60lbs might be a deal killer. Would like to do some light biking, so considering ebikes, as would like to be able to get back... Thanks for the info!
What a timely video, thanks Josh. They are having a great sale right now and I had a couple of 3.0 in the cart and since you and I are about the same body type (I talked to you last summer when my son bought his Jayco from Hayletts) I have switched mine to the straight frame one. Thanks again and love watching your videos
I just got my folding XP 3.0 yesterday! Unfortunately it is raining outside as I speak, but! I have learned the settings and have farted around inside my house with this beast, Lol. But soon, the day will come where the real test shall take place!!!! Outside where it belongs!! Lol.
Very informative and well put together video. I bought the 3.0 a few weeks ago (elite bundle was included for the $999 price) and sort of read about it later, and looks like i lucked out getting a good one! I only have about 30 miles on it due to the winter weather in our area but boy, it's just a great bike :).
What do you think of the throttle response? I recently bought an XP 3.0, and I found the pedal assist to be reasonably powerful, but when using throttle only, the performance is underwhelming. Kinda lazy and uninspiring. The motor just doesn't have the same "oomph" on throttle-only as compared to when using pedal assist. Your thoughts?
@@Milesco- Weather just broke and we have clear sunny skies today, so i'm planning a bike ride after work today. I'm a total noob (last time i rode a bike before this was in my teens, about 30 years ago) so it took me a couple of miles to get my footing. It's pretty hilly where i am and not a bunch of bike lanes, but i had it out on the road in second gear, PAS 2 and 3 up the hill pedaling and with the throttle felt like i should be ashamed of myself, lol, way too much like cheating. I really wanted a bike for exercising, but now that i discovered ebikes, well, could be even more fun getting some pedaling out and about.
@@claudiag.2055 Thanks for your speedy reply, Claudia. Yeah, I know what you mean about the feeling of "cheating" when using the throttle only! 😁 Nonetheless, the bike _does_ have that feature, so when you've had a chance to ride your bike some more and get used to it, and you've had the opportunity to familiarize yourself with both pedal assist and throttle-only modes, please let me know what you think about the relative motor performance regarding pedal assist mode vs. throttle-only. The reason I ask is that while the pedal assist on my bike seems to be pretty good, the throttle-only performance seems comparatively weak. I'm wondering this is normal or if there's something wrong with my bike.
@@Milesco Rode about 20 miles this weekend. The weight of the rider plays a huge role in riding anything, electric bike or not, so considering this, it seems to have enough power, throttle only, to get me in trouble or out of trouble, lol.
I too like you Josh am rocking the "dad bod"... so I don't bring my "classic" bike camping much any more. Plus we upgraded from a TT to a 5th wheel, so I lost the bed of the truck to just throw the 3 bikes of the kids and bikes for the wife and I. Watching this video though... it looks like collapsed this bike just might fit into the bed of the truck around the 5th wheel hitch, would that be a reasonable assumption? If so, I might give them a closer look.
This is awesome! One of our friends just got the white one and she loves it! We're looking into them too, thanks for the video! Though I'm thinking the 2.0 is maybe my choice.
Great review, thanks! Another good deciding feature for upgrade is how big are the hills you ride, the increase in torque will help make bigger hills smaller.
There's a BIG, steep hill near our house. Only once in my life did I ever make it all the way up without needing to stop and walk it With the 2.0 bike I was able to pedal assist up. The bike worked, but made it without stopping With this 3.0 it just climbed without really sweating it
Josh: “Happy camping everyone” 26:07 So, are you including e-bike camping in your scope of “casual recreational” 21:20 for the use of the Mark 3.0? It’s been years since I’ve done a bike camping trip. But I can see right off that if you’re going to do any serious e-bike camping you’ll need to have more than just that small cargo rack on the back even if it is 100# rated. You’ll definately need to add front and rear panniers. Panniers are going to carry you gear, food, tent and sleeping pad/bag. Only thing that should be on your back on a bike camping trip is your hydration pack. Would like to see a rear facing flashing safety light under the seat. That pedal assist feature would be awesome while going up a grade. Folding feature looks really nice for the beginning and end trailheads and for overnight camping. If you know, can this Mark 3.0 be charged off of a solar panel at the campsite? Or is 120v shore power only? Respectfully, W.S.
The charger requires a household plug. I'm sure there's some sort of off grid warrior kits somewhere out there. Again -- I'm NOT well versed in these Like I mentioned in the video this bike is waaaaay more than I need. Their Lite series is likely all I'd ever get normally
Josh, you must not have raced bikes around the neighborhood when you were a kid. Hard lean side the pedal better be up or your going down. 😊Thanks for the video.
Josh, this is just to share info via a current experience. We're currently in Port Aransas at Porrt A RV Resort. I've had my Lectric 2.0 for over a year; my wife has had the Lectric 2.0 Trike for several months. I have counted 5 other couples with Lectric bikes of various varieties in the the park with us. It's not a huge park, 200ish sites, more of us retirees than anything else. I wonder how many RV sales outlets might be considering talking to Lectric about selling the bikes, servicing them, or both? Last summer I also noticed that in down town Durango Co there is now an e-bike rental company offering nothing but Lectrics.
Really good review on the upgrade, fine points and experience. My 2.0 takes hills well, much better with some peddling assist. They ARE heavy. Folding into a large crate is possible, after taking the seat off and dropping the handlebars it is pretty compact. Crate transport is good to avoid gouging plastic around the cargo area. The bike with front shock and seat post compression makes rough ground a lot easier to traverse. Quite a value.
We have what my household calls a "Hillzilla" near our home. If you try to pure manual pedal up it, then you're not going to make it without stopping and walking the rest of the way I rode up it on my 2.0 with pedal assisting without stopping This 3.0 powered up it without flinching. I was IMMEDIATELY impressed
Oh the weather this year has been a GIFT Unseasonably nice and warm BUT... today is literally THE LAST night day of the year After today the temp is dropping and staying about 30 degrees lower
Very informative Josh, thanks! My husband and I purchased one to see how we like it for traveling around the neighborhood and to take with us when we go camping.
@@JoshtheRVNerd We received the ebike and I took it for a spin around the neighborhood. This bike is wonderful! I kept it in PAS1 to get used to the speed, then took it up to PAS2, boy that bike moves when you want it too. Very smooth ride. Thanks again for the video to explain the PAS speeds, I think that was very important!
@@TheHighwayHare EXACTLY!! That's mostly what I do -- PAS1 for general cruising and I'll quick bump to 2-3 for a hill or to quick zip across the street
All the ebikes in this price range have hydro brakes, 750 Watt 1100 amp motors and full suspension, 20 amp/hrs battery larger batteries standard. Lectric charges extra for a little 14 amp/hrs battery.
We’re 70 years old and my response to critics is that it’s better exercise than a lazyboy chair in front of the tv
Based
This is the best lectric xp 3.0 review i've watched, this guy is really funny while going over all the features of the bike.
wow ty! Not bad for someone who is not an ebike specialist! :)
22:40
Wow! Just... Wow 🥺! That's what separates your BISH'S from the other ones! We hear the stories about your family and can connect your family history with what some of us are going thru right now!
Thank you Josh for telling us about the times with your father and your family history. You are willing to pour your heart out to us in videos means a lot to us in the Nerd Herd.
We all love you Josh!
TY Robert. I handed that white step thru to my dad after his cheap junk "ebike" went to pot. We rode around the other day. It was awesome
This is something we NEVER could've done otherwise
We bought two step thru 3.0s a couple weeks ago. Got the passenger package to carry our granddaughter around. Also, you can get a good workout in pedal assist settings O, but you can also zip around with ease on higher settings. Looking forward to using them camping this summer.
I still love mine
Josh I watch your videos all the time, and believe it or not I have literally been looking at this 3.0 version for the past month and ran across this video tonight. You have helped me make up my mind, definitely going with the 3.0
Enjoy it!
Thanks for the review Josh! I've watched several of this new model already and yours is the one that presents the info in a way that helps me the most! We plan to use our ebikes for errands (like shopping or laundry), plus going places where parking is inconvenient (some towns and trailheads can get crazy crowded for parking). Exploring the outdoors should be fun too.
Solid Review. Just a tip for the current Black Friday Sale (with free bundle of suspension post and seat, lock and light) for $999. Notice the "extended range (another 4ah more) for $200 more: Why not just get the $999 standard version and order an extra 10.4ah battery for $300? So instead of a $1,200 XP 3.0 with a 14ah pack (only 35% more range) , for $1,300 you got a fully loaded, XP 3.0 with a giant 20.8 ah battery supply (100% more range). You just strap the 2nd battery strapped on the rack or tote in pannier or backpack). For short rides, just leave the extra pack at home. Just as the $999 10.4 amp XP 3.0 is incomparable, there's no match for $1,300 XP 3.0 with a 20.8ah battery capacity That's 35-90 miles of range on a fully suspended (with free comfort package) folding for $1,300! Another thing that the XP 3.0 has above most others is that after three iterations, the design is now "sorted" and "debugged" (wider bars, stronger rack, better front suspension, better/stronger motor (bigger controller). etc.
I like this type of video. I appreciate you 'expanding' your video's to anything related to camping/RV'ing. It helps that it's coming from someone as knowledgeable as you. Keep em' coming Josh.
I sure try. I won't claim to know it all and I'm certainly no authority by any means
Hey Josh, great video as usual. My wife and I have a Lectric 2.0 and we will be getting a 3.0 soon. We found the RV that we want and bought the Tow vehicle today. Let the adventures begin 🙂
Sounds like 2023 will be a great year for you!!
Bishin enough of a review to have me procure one for my wife. Yes, she is young but had a sever ankle injury a couple years ago and it still gets sore after some normal riding time. I must say, its my 1st delve into E-Bikes and I am glad I spent just a tad more on this one than some of the others out there. She is really liking it so far. Thanks Josh!
Hope you have a great time! I have enjoyed mine
Thanks for the information Josh. I have been contemplating e-bikes for some time but just have been hesitant because of the prices. I don't want to make that kind of investment and then not like it or use it. You have answered almost every question I have had about them.
I just looked - Lectric has a black friday sale going on right now on these 3.0 bikes that's less than my original 2.0...
I love mine.
That said, the Jetson Bolt Pro is a much lower barrier to entry.
I’m in the same boat as you, have you pulled the trigger and bought one? And if so what brand did you go with and is it worth it?
@@GermoWorld I did buy two, one for me and my wife. A company called SONDERS. They started a few years ago and I have watched them since they crowd funded. They recently had one model they call STEP with a very good price on refurbished bikes with a 90 day warranty. I bought 2 and 1 was perfect while the second one had a couple of issues that the company totally took care of without hassle. So far (I haven't had much chance to ride because we have 2 feet of snow and ice yet) I am impressed with the bikes and the company support.
Thanks for the review Josh! I gave up cycling a while back unfortunately. After smoking for 34 years and then having major hernia surgery and the fact that i am 53 years old i just had to give it up, but have been looking at e-bikes a lot lately. This video helped out a lot.
I handed my stepthru 2.0 to my dad. He is similar. He just cannot pedal and breathe. His birthday was two days before mine. We went on a ride thru the park together. It was awesome.
Good video Josh. Happy Birthday.
My wife and I got the Lite Lectrics to see if they would be worth it to us.
We met a couple who had the 2.0s at Acadia National park and they wanted ours while we, of course, wanted theirs. Once we have more time to see the sights we'll upgrade.
We carry ours in the back of our Subaru in large plastic tubs covered with a moving blanket for ease and so they don't knock around. They fit side by side with the back seat down.
We went through Canada on vacation and the customs guys just glanced in the back window and didn't blink and eye.
You can still use them for exercise by not using the assist, but there is a mode that still slightly assists to help overcome the weight.
Loving ours so far. Haven't tried going through a closet yet.😯
Haven't tried the closet crash yet?
Dude.. you haven't LIVED until you've almost destroyed the entry area of your house with your newfangled electric toy bike lololol
Well, all I need now is an RV from Haylett and a pair of 3,0s, one with a set of rod holders on the back and that rack to carry my tackle box. Thanks again Josh,again your indepth assessment of the Lectric,my wife and I loved it.
Thx Robert :)
We just got the 3.0 ourselves and there is a BIG difference in the refinement compared to the 2.0. I'm very pleased with these bikes.
Right?! The torque and acceleration is so much better
Nice info. I've been looking at these for awhile. I'm disabled and an amputee and am not super steady on my legs.One of these might be good for me getting around the neighborhood and running errands ( weather permitting).Being on a fixed income now I am going to be losing my car ( repoed and can't afford to keep it with disability).So something like this will still allow me to get out of the house and still do things.
Hmm.. perhaps a trike might provide more comfort and stability?
May 28, 2024 .. enjoyed your video & comments. We just purchased one & cant wait to get it . Had no idea you had one ! We should of known 🙌.
Enjoy all your videos on everything.
Ah congratulations! I sure enjoy mine!
Looks like a fun addition to RV life!
Good idea featuring them on this page.
TY!
Very Helpful - buying a 3.0 since I think it will be all I ever need - want a comfy ride - thanks
Enjoy! Drop another comment sometime here and let me know how it treats you!
We bought two of the 2.0's this spring and take them everywhere with us in our class C motor home. They will even fit in without folding them. I fitted baskets on the rear rack and we even take our two small dogs for trips around the campgrounds we visit. I am 71 and my wife is 65 and we have no problem loading and unloading them. These bikes go on every camping trip with us.
Wish I had something set up for my dog like that
Road rash is the BEST teacher! Anyone with the experience will vouch for that.
Glad I stumbled onto your channel. Silly but really informative and helpful. I enjoy you twisted sense of humor. Reminds me of myself. Good Lord help me.
😊
Shout out to all the trees that didn't hit Uncle Josh! To the one that did, you're done. Anyone want smores?
lol :)
Stupid tree
AND IT WAS MY OWN TREE
Yeah it’s usually your own people that’s plotting on you. Watch your back brotha. I just bought my xp 3.0 I’ve had the 2.0 for about 8 months it broke down after 4000 miles but lectric has been sending me parts to fix it so hey in todays world you can’t ask for more than that. Love the video
I waited for the 3.0 to see if it made some of the improvements I wanted. It did so I got two and they are the best value e-bikes on the market. We mainly plan to use them with the RV. Love your videos!
Awesome to hear someone else echo my feelings. I really didn't expect them to be THAT much better
I went back and rode my 2.0 after this 3.0 and it was truly eye opening
I have the Specialized Turbo Tero 5.0. It has a hefty price tag, but for what I do it is just about perfect. My only gripe is airlines won't let me ship it as checked baggage.
We love our Specialized Bikes (Como and Vado), just awesome e bikes!
Due to hazmat restrictions the airlines are not allowed to fly these due to the batteries. Lipo batteries are the issue. 😫🛫
I bought the 2.0 this past March. It fits nicely between the foot of the bed and the dinette in my Jayco Jay flight SLX 8 224BH (folded and in a tote). Very satisfied as it takes me up extremely steep hills and gets me around town for some exercise. I have a mobility issue, and my Lectric Bike 2.0 gives me peace of mind knowing that I will be able to get home if my legs decide they are done. I did watch your 1st video review on the 2.0 before I made the purchase. Thank you for your honesty, and humor, in all your video reviews.
I tried my 2.0 going up "Hillzilla" as my family calls it near our house. It did admirably. It worked, but it made it.
This 3.0 didn't even sneeze. That extra torque is NO JOKE
Hope you continue to safely enjoy that 2.0! :)
Thanks Josh, very informative review. Like some of the other commentators,I’ve been thinking about an e-bike. Actually for my wife but would also occasionally use it as well. I’m a bike rider and always bring my mountain bike along when we RV. My wife, on the other hand, doesn’t enjoy peddling. The few times (years ago) we brought her bike along it didn’t get used so I don’t even bother bringing it anymore. In fact her bicycle hasn’t been out of the garage in a VERY long time, it basically is a towel rack for my car washing towels 😂
I think that she would be much more likely to ride with me around the campgrounds on the e-bike. Not to mention I, like you, am just an overgrown kid and love my “toys” and know that it’s much easier to justify to my wife spending the money if it’s “for you honey” so we can (as you stressed) spend more quality time together while RVing. I’m sending her the link to this video now.
I think Santa will be bringing my wife an e-bike for Christmas.
Frankly for no more biking than I do I'd get the Lite series but for the purposes of this video I wanted one that was fully decked out and went with the full XP 3.0
Nice introduction to the new 3.0. I owned most of the Lectric bikes, the 1.0, 2.0, and the XPremium. I passed down my 1.0 and 2.0 to friends. Even though the 3.0 is great I know they will come out with a 4.0 probably with the 750 hub motor. I am sure the 3.0 is a great upgrade, I have heard some people talking about how the brakes squeal. I would like for the 3.0 to have hydraulic brakes like the XPremium.That would be a game changer for me to buy it. My older 1.0 and 2.0 that I gave to friends, I see all the time, because we go riding together. Nice video, thumbs up!
Ty Roland!
Josh I've had my 2.0 for about 6 months and I love it to. And you are right it is not for the weak it's got some girth to it. I just ordered my wife an electric trike I wish Lectric had trikes I would have bought it. Glad to see you diversifying. Keep up the great work.
I’d love to get something like that for my dad.
Letric is coming out with a trike
Always enjoy your videos. I like the fat tire bikes in general. The fact that they fold really makes a difference.
I've sure enjoyed mine!
You are awsome me and my husband ride e bikes and Ii have the lectric brand and I love it I wrecked my first ride on and couldn't walk on my left ancle for 8 weeks but I got right back on asap .we love it and we ate home hoping to buy a couple travel trailer when we retired
I slipped on wet asphalt on my 2.0 and it slipped out from under me
I put a 49cc friction drive kit on a bicycle.
150 mpg and 30 mph and the kit with a Honda motor cost just under $500
Yes, but the DMV somehow does not treat the motor bikes the same. I like the Honda motors.
@@markmurto I don't know about your State but in Ohio as long as it has pedals that work and a motor under 50cc and goes less the 25 mph your fine. No license , Insurance or plates. If a motorized bicycle has more than 1 gear or a CVT transmission it's a motorcycle.
I'm looking to purchase an e-bike. I found one of these used in 2.0 and now I'm gonna schedule a time to look a it. This has been most helpful. Thanks.
Good choice! I really like mine
Not sure how I missed this video before, but it was great. I know many folks who use e-bikes as a method of exercise while also using it other times as an easier way to get around. Their great for many situations.
Thx for tuning in!!
Josh I appreciate all your videos buddy! The entertainment is awesome!
TY So much Jeff!
Really enjoyed this different style of video from you and thank you for it, I know it's a lot of work because you are very thorough with your videos
TY!
For parents and grandparents, there’s an optional rear seat, and possibly 2nd set of handlebars for a small rider behind. Fun riding!!
👍🏻
My wife can't keep up with me on a regular bike, E-bikes are awesome for people that aren't as physically fit so they can explore and do things with more fit people. Thanks for the review.
Yeah my daughter hates it when we race lol
Full time RVer here and thinking about getting one of these. Nice video!
I sure like mine
This would be great for my daughter who is at A&M. Big campus and she has to use the e-bikes (pay through an app for each ride) to get to class sometimes. She would be late taking the bus or walking. This would be Ideal. Thanks Nerd! Also, the leaves/trees are beautiful. Don't get that down here in TX.
The lite version might be handy for her!
@@JoshtheRVNerd We are going with the step thru and they are offering a Black Friday sale with a Bundle right now. Plus military discount. Gonna be an early Christmas present. Giving it to her when she comes back for Thanksgiving. Really glad you did this review/updated review.
@@randybrandenburg5364 oh nice!! UNH! DOUBLE UP UNH! UNH!
Gig 'em.
And yea, I remember my classes always seemed to be on opposite sides of campus. Something like this would have been great.
Also get her a really good lock. These things are high theft items.i imagine even more so on campus. She might consider taking the battery with her when in class ect.
Thank you. I have been on the fence about this.
Glad it helped! What'd you decide?
Thinking the xp 3.0 regular frame one. As you said and it shows the pedals are just to low to the ground on the step thru....
Thanks Josh, entertaining as always and good information as well.
My Pleasure!
Great review Josh! I own three of these and we all love them, it's a great way to spend time with the family.
Just wanted to chime in and say Happy Birthday Josh!!!!!!
TY Agnes :)
Yes they are! We’ve had ours for 2 years and they are amazing!!!
Nice!
Just my two cents worth: I found the "2.0" a little too heavy to take camping. It was unwieldy when moving it in or out of the RV, folded or not. We bought the XP Lite for my wife and, at 45 lbs., was much easier to handle. It doesn't have all the niceties of the 2 or 3.0 but doesn't weigh 20 lbs. more and fits the bill for us older people who aren't looking to pop a wheelie. 😁
The lite is really all I would generally need
We road a couples Rad Bikes around and we’re hooked. We bought Vivowave on Amazon, but electric bikes have changed our lives. Our first trip was all over town (15 miles in flip flops), second was to a state park 18 miles round trip, etc. It was a huge reason we got a Flagstaff with 300# hitch in the back.
Sorta how I felt. Originally I thought they were kinda dumb. Then I rode one
Thanks for doing this. Your nerdiness is preciouse. RVers are now going to electric bikes. This is what we need. Now promote the Black Widow aluminum bike racks. Good note about the pedal height. Josh, you do not need a helmet, damage is already done! and 6-7 MPH is all you are QCed for Josh!
Hahaha
Thank you so much , I appreciate you and all the time you give us, your expertise and knowledge is very informative
Awesome video Josh we have 3 first gen xp's and you right we have a bunkhouse and we put two in the rv and one in the truck. Zero problems with the bikes, and are bike has around 400 miles on them. My wife wanted a golf cart then she found some rv parks don't allow golf carts. So with the bike and dog trailer to carry stuff like grocery and laundry makes up for the golf cart.
That is awesome!
Thanks for the 2.0/3.0 comparison.
Thanks Josh, I am considering one of these in a bit.
I've been enjoying mine!
These are such a great idea for people who want the fresh air and a bit of exercise but aren't able to full on pedal a regular bike and need an assist for hills etc.
You said you have 3 dads but only mentioned 2. I'm confused. Not my business but you were sharing.
No worries!
There's my dad that brought me into this world
There's my dad that I got when my mom remarried (That's Mr. Haylett)
And there's my dad that I got when I married my wife
Good video, Josh. I always like your RV videos. I highly recommend taking safety seriously and wearing a properly fitted helmet, with the chinstrap adjusted correctly and latched. The pink helmet was cute, but seriously, brain injuries are awful.
I know. I had limited time and could find my helmet
Apparently lost it. Got a new one
I’ve watched a number of reviews on this brand bike, and I was glad to see my favorite RV guy do a review - and I learned a LOT more from your review than any other! Made my choice to buy easier! Thanks Josh!
Well ty
Hey Josh!
Just received 2, xp3.0 Step-thru.. One black & one white. So far our experience is 50/50. One arrived damage & other was almost perfect. Been able to ride & get accustomed with different ergonomics. (use to Harley Road Glides) Their exactly what we want & can't wait for both of us to ride together! Great review!
Would be curious to hear how Lectric assists with the shipping damage
Mine were both excellent
UPDATE on Damaged Box: Josh @ Lectric was very understanding & sent me new pedal assembly to replace the broken one done by FedEx in transit. I have pics of package (big hole in box) 3 broken pieces of the padal assembly & chips of paint where the pedal bounced around. Lectric eBikes went above & beyond what I thought they would do, and Grateful of their generosity. As for FedEx, they still haven't returned my call......
Anyone looking at ebikes should consider Lectric!!! Based in Arizona (I believe so) their customer support system works fast & efficient. The whole Lectric eBike operation is very professional. Thanks to Josh & the whole team @ LECTRIC!!!
@@stonestreetcycles That's an awesome update! Thank you so much for sharing!!
@@stonestreetcycles I had the same experience! The box arrived with a ginormous hole in it. Fortunately my bike wasn't damaged, but what the hell is FedEx doing with their customers' packages? Lectric really needs to sit down with FedEx executives and tell them to stop abusing their customers' parcels. (My first Lectric ebike that I bought three years ago also suffered some shipping damage. So FedEx is 0 for 2.)
Josh, that bike really is you and so is your helmit, looking good! 🤗
😊
I would love to see more RV goodies in the future, thank you for this video
Awesome video. Thanks for the info on this. Presented in a way that makes it easy to understand. As me and my wife extens into Senior years, these look like an answer for us to keep recreational biking while continuing to camp. Cheers!
Ty!
Great vid as always. However, you may be the RV Need, but I'm a bit of an e-bike nerd myself and I am a little more critical about those (Lectric) bikes. Awesome for wearing a bucket to protect the noggin though! Keep up with the vids! We surely enjoy watching them.
I'm sure there are better bikes out there. As I said I definitely don't claim to be an expert by any means. For someone of my casual level it's frankly more bike than I need
Great review Josh. Key placement is really bad, but they would need to have their battery supplier resign the battery which would be expensive.
👍🏻
Hey Josh, I just wanted to say that my wife and I absolutely love watching your videos. You are the reason we just purchased a 2021 Jayco 264BH last week. It's our first RV. We would have loved to have purchased it directly from you, but we live in Alabama and we bought this one from an individual for a great price. As soon as we bought it, we had to get the fridge removed and warrantied though. It's the Norcold N8DC 12v. Hopefully that's the only hiccup we will experience for a while. We can't wait to get camping. I'm sorry this is long winded but do you think you could make a video covering some storage and accessory ideas just for the 264? Thanks so much for your infinite wisdom, oh RV Nerd sir. Keep the vids coming and we'll keep watching. Peace, brother.
With all the coverage I have right now I'm probably not going to be able to make videos quite to that level of specificity but maybe join something like the Jayco RV Club on facebook - over 40,000 people there with ideas!
Also would you mind dropping me a quick review at g.page/r/CdPcitNVx2nDEAg/review in return for the helpful info on that 264?
@@JoshtheRVNerd of course!
Looking to get one of those when I get older, I’m 55 now and still enjoying my Trek Marlin 6 “human powered “ mountain bike for a good workout.
that was fun, i have more to say hopefully later, 2 things we have in common shockingly, we both drive 2012 kia souls and both enjoy cruising time w/our dad's. that shocked me. thank you.
I'm actually in the process of selling my soul.. my _Kia_ Soul that is lol
Just got into a new Ford Maverick and really enjoying it
But man the Kia did well by me
Hi Josh from Michigan, I'm Josh from Michigan too and enjoy same things as you, RV and gadgets and things that enhance enjoying nature. I enjoy coming across your content. New sub acquired lol
Welcome buddy! :)
14:25
We can only (ONLY) do 10mph in my campground, where I live Josh! The owner (Mr. Reid) had a "Speed Limit 10" about every 20 feet apart. He's not afraid to go after anyone, who's going too fast with his golf cart either! 😂
Thanks for this review. Your fresh perspective is very helpful. Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it!
The rainbows are so you. 😁 If you are going to do more of these you should invest in a helmet camera mount.
We have talked about ebikes for use when we travel. We frequently end up in small coastal towns where parking is limited and roads are narrow. These look like a good way to get around and not having to worry about moving the truck when we decide it is time to go eat or visit the next microbrewery on the route.
Only the second time I've done something like this. If I made a more steady habit of it, then I'd get a few odds and ends like that
Just ordered my new XP 3.0 white step-through model yesterday. I can’t wait to get it! Nice review! I have to ask, did you call it a schwimano shifter on purpose? Lol..gave me a good laugh either way.
I flat blanked on the name and my tongue just kept going lol
You're the man Josh! Congrats of the recent award too.
Wow ty :)
I bought a ale trio 2.0 A year and a half ago to commute to work in order to save gas. I have over 5000 miles on it now, going on 6000, and I’ve saved thousands in gas. It’s been a great experience and the company is very responsive if there are any problems. I couldn’t have had a better experience.
Holy cow that’s awesome! I’ve seriously considered summer commuting with mine. I just might one of these days!
Been looking at e-bikes. That 60lbs might be a deal killer. Would like to do some light biking, so considering ebikes, as would like to be able to get back...
Thanks for the info!
I use mine as a second car, due to high gas prices, it almost paid for itself
Thanks for this! I'm considering one of these so this video was very helpful, 💯♥️
Glad it was helpful! Ride safe
Thank you for the information. I was curious about e bikes.
Thanks for the overview, I have one on order.
Congrats! Hope you love it :)
What a timely video, thanks Josh. They are having a great sale right now and I had a couple of 3.0 in the cart and since you and I are about the same body type (I talked to you last summer when my son bought his Jayco from Hayletts) I have switched mine to the straight frame one. Thanks again and love watching your videos
I see that! I JUST missed it.. crap lol
I just got my folding XP 3.0 yesterday!
Unfortunately it is raining outside as I speak, but!
I have learned the settings and have farted around inside my house with this beast, Lol. But soon,
the day will come where the real test shall take place!!!!
Outside where it belongs!! Lol.
Drop me a note and let me know how you like it! :)
@@JoshtheRVNerd will do man!
I ordered a trunk and saddle bag kit for my 3.0.
Also some rear view mirrors came today from Amazon. I love the bike. It's exactly what I need!
Very informative and well put together video. I bought the 3.0 a few weeks ago (elite bundle was included for the $999 price) and sort of read about it later, and looks like i lucked out getting a good one! I only have about 30 miles on it due to the winter weather in our area but boy, it's just a great bike :).
What do you think of the throttle response? I recently bought an XP 3.0, and I found the pedal assist to be reasonably powerful, but when using throttle only, the performance is underwhelming. Kinda lazy and uninspiring. The motor just doesn't have the same "oomph" on throttle-only as compared to when using pedal assist.
Your thoughts?
@@Milesco- Weather just broke and we have clear sunny skies today, so i'm planning a bike ride after work today. I'm a total noob (last time i rode a bike before this was in my teens, about 30 years ago) so it took me a couple of miles to get my footing. It's pretty hilly where i am and not a bunch of bike lanes, but i had it out on the road in second gear, PAS 2 and 3 up the hill pedaling and with the throttle felt like i should be ashamed of myself, lol, way too much like cheating. I really wanted a bike for exercising, but now that i discovered ebikes, well, could be even more fun getting some pedaling out and about.
@@claudiag.2055 Thanks for your speedy reply, Claudia. Yeah, I know what you mean about the feeling of "cheating" when using the throttle only! 😁
Nonetheless, the bike _does_ have that feature, so when you've had a chance to ride your bike some more and get used to it, and you've had the opportunity to familiarize yourself with both pedal assist and throttle-only modes, please let me know what you think about the relative motor performance regarding pedal assist mode vs. throttle-only.
The reason I ask is that while the pedal assist on my bike seems to be pretty good, the throttle-only performance seems comparatively weak. I'm wondering this is normal or if there's something wrong with my bike.
@@Milesco Rode about 20 miles this weekend. The weight of the rider plays a huge role in riding anything, electric bike or not, so considering this, it seems to have enough power, throttle only, to get me in trouble or out of trouble, lol.
Thanks for the video. Your videos are 😂great I enjoy ones that are so honest. I just started looking for one to ride around and take camping.
I've been happy with both of these for sure!
Think I’ve heard you say you’re 6’2” while watching your TT videos. Do you like this bike being a taller guy? I’m 6’2” 190. Love your videos Josh. 🤙✌️
Yeah actually the handlebars and seat have a LOOOT of adjustment to them. At my size I'm roughly in the middle of both
I too like you Josh am rocking the "dad bod"... so I don't bring my "classic" bike camping much any more. Plus we upgraded from a TT to a 5th wheel, so I lost the bed of the truck to just throw the 3 bikes of the kids and bikes for the wife and I. Watching this video though... it looks like collapsed this bike just might fit into the bed of the truck around the 5th wheel hitch, would that be a reasonable assumption? If so, I might give them a closer look.
Not sure about fitting it into/around a FW hitch. Haven’t tried… it’s plausible for bigger beds. A tote to hold it would be wise I’d think
This is awesome! One of our friends just got the white one and she loves it! We're looking into them too, thanks for the video! Though I'm thinking the 2.0 is maybe my choice.
I think they’re done making the 2.0 series from what I see. Could be wrong
Cost the same! Get the 3.0, no reason not to. Ordered one for my this morning 🎄
🤣 I enjoy your sense of humor and the information you provide.
Great review, thanks! Another good deciding feature for upgrade is how big are the hills you ride, the increase in torque will help make bigger hills smaller.
There's a BIG, steep hill near our house. Only once in my life did I ever make it all the way up without needing to stop and walk it
With the 2.0 bike I was able to pedal assist up. The bike worked, but made it without stopping
With this 3.0 it just climbed without really sweating it
Josh: “Happy camping everyone” 26:07
So, are you including e-bike camping in your scope of “casual recreational” 21:20 for the use of the Mark 3.0? It’s been years since I’ve done a bike camping trip. But I can see right off that if you’re going to do any serious e-bike camping you’ll need to have more than just that small cargo rack on the back even if it is 100# rated. You’ll definately need to add front and rear panniers. Panniers are going to carry you gear, food, tent and sleeping pad/bag. Only thing that should be on your back on a bike camping trip is your hydration pack. Would like to see a rear facing flashing safety light under the seat. That pedal assist feature would be awesome while going up a grade. Folding feature looks really nice for the beginning and end trailheads and for overnight camping. If you know, can this Mark 3.0 be charged off of a solar panel at the campsite? Or is 120v shore power only? Respectfully, W.S.
The charger requires a household plug. I'm sure there's some sort of off grid warrior kits somewhere out there. Again -- I'm NOT well versed in these
Like I mentioned in the video this bike is waaaaay more than I need. Their Lite series is likely all I'd ever get normally
Loved this video! Hubby and I are seriously looking into getting a couple of these bikes. Thanks!
Thx for watching. I've certainly enjoyed mine! This new one is super fun :)
Josh, you must not have raced bikes around the neighborhood when you were a kid. Hard lean side the pedal better be up or your going down. 😊Thanks for the video.
Grew up in the country. Rode bikes plenty.. but wide open dirt roads :)
Good video. Wife and I have been pondering for two years on get ebikes. I like the 3.0
I am definitely enjoying it
Josh, this is just to share info via a current experience. We're currently in Port Aransas at Porrt A RV Resort. I've had my Lectric 2.0 for over a year; my wife has had the Lectric 2.0 Trike for several months. I have counted 5 other couples with Lectric bikes of various varieties in the the park with us. It's not a huge park, 200ish sites, more of us retirees than anything else. I wonder how many RV sales outlets might be considering talking to Lectric about selling the bikes, servicing them, or both? Last summer I also noticed that in down town Durango Co there is now an e-bike rental company offering nothing but Lectrics.
Lectric seems to be almost the default name in these things anymore. I know I sure like mine
Road Rash just makes you tougher.
Preach!
Hello Kitty bandaids really turn some heads
@@JoshtheRVNerd Lightweight, I got the Batman ones.
Thank you for the video very informative and entertaining I appreciate it a lot . 👍
My pleasure!!
JOSH, YOUR VIDEOS ARE AWESOME! I LOVE THE KIA SOUL, I HAVE ONE OF THOSE, THAT I PULL BEHIND MY RV.
Good choice!
Rather have the LECTRIC over a kia.
That was 😊 fun. Are you going to be at the Super Show in Tampa next week?
We don't currently have a team there & I go where my team goes. Hopefully we end up with a store down there soon
We have two of the 2.0. Took them to the beach. Really enjoyed them
Nice!
Really good review on the upgrade, fine points and experience. My 2.0 takes hills well, much better
with some peddling assist. They ARE heavy. Folding into a large crate is possible, after taking the seat off and dropping the handlebars it is pretty compact. Crate transport is good to avoid gouging plastic around the cargo area. The bike with front shock and seat post compression makes rough ground a lot easier to traverse.
Quite a value.
We have what my household calls a "Hillzilla" near our home. If you try to pure manual pedal up it, then you're not going to make it without stopping and walking the rest of the way
I rode up it on my 2.0 with pedal assisting without stopping
This 3.0 powered up it without flinching. I was IMMEDIATELY impressed
Kudos to your lawn. Looks great for November.
Oh the weather this year has been a GIFT
Unseasonably nice and warm
BUT... today is literally THE LAST night day of the year
After today the temp is dropping and staying about 30 degrees lower
Very informative Josh, thanks! My husband and I purchased one to see how we like it for traveling around the neighborhood and to take with us when we go camping.
I'd love to hear a little follow to know what you think about it after you've taken it out a few times!
@@JoshtheRVNerd We received the ebike and I took it for a spin around the neighborhood. This bike is wonderful! I kept it in PAS1 to get used to the speed, then took it up to PAS2, boy that bike moves when you want it too. Very smooth ride. Thanks again for the video to explain the PAS speeds, I think that was very important!
@@TheHighwayHare EXACTLY!! That's mostly what I do -- PAS1 for general cruising and I'll quick bump to 2-3 for a hill or to quick zip across the street
All the ebikes in this price range have hydro brakes, 750 Watt 1100 amp motors and full suspension, 20 amp/hrs battery larger batteries standard. Lectric charges extra for a little 14 amp/hrs battery.
What a neat video, I was wondering about the new Ebikes. Thanks!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching :)
