A torque sensor cargo ebike w turn signal,adjustable stem and long range batteries!!! Plus a great price!! UL certified batteries. Lectric. Is a true friend. Thanks for your helpful report!
Ooooo, this might do it for me-I really wanted a cargo bike with front suspension and that USB port! That way the battery can be used as a power pack when the power goes out. I’m hoping the spokes will hold up with a load like that, because my understanding is that mag wheels might be better for bikes with a bigger payload? Spokes can come out of true, which means additional maintenance. But otherwise, this seems like a really nice cargo e-bike! Great price, battery options…And a torque sensor!😍💕
I'm very excited to buy this bike for next summer car replacement. Gonna get the longest range. It will be more like 100 miles in my very hilly area, but that is still incredible for the price. I am excited to feel the torque sensor, don't love cadence or throttle. Also excited about the huge carrying capacity. I'm only 140 lbs so I'll be able to carry sooooo much, gonna play with that in all sorts of ways. Gonna play with solar and microhydro charging.
I’m car free so this bike would suit me just perfectly I do have a Velotric go 1 utility bike but it’s very much a cargo bike. I also have a Fuji e traverse that’s electric too. Maybe when those give out I’ll snatch one of these bad boys! Lectric is coming a long way I also like the smaller lectric bikes because if I ever live in an apartment I’ll still have very very nice transportation
Your growing a nice little collection of e-bikes! This would be a great dedicated ride in absence of a car, especially with its payload, turn signals and huge range numbers. -Mike
Who else has the 1.0 and is kicking themselves right now? That new orbitor would be so much better for my kids. Plus the fact that it holds 2 full size milk crates… and of course the new orbitor is only compatible with the 2.0, not the 1.0. Adapter kit possible?
Lectric should make quality smaller EUCs (Electric UniCycle). Particularly the ones that can be carried with one hand. Maybe to far outside their wheelhouse?
It would be cool, they would be the types to make a really strong contender that sells for much less. However, I don't know they would commit to a whole new micro mobility product line. Who knows though, given enough time and success they may dabble in other areas. -Mike
i like the bike and the improvements fer sure. the price is def reasonable also. but i seriously doubt you would get even 100 miles on it ( especially loaded ) let alone more :) just sayin cuz ive been doing electric bikes myself since 2002... i still like it tho and i am glad about the pricing more then anything ( because i have considered bikes like this in the past ) hell i spent 1/2 of what it costs just for an additional battery in the past. thanks for the video ! btw i wouldnt mind seeing that aspect tested IF you are feeling brave and want to make more videos about it
My XPedition is definitely the least efficient of my e-bikes. I run it with dual 14Ah batteries, and the range is maybe 60mi, not anywhere near what Lectric claims (up to 120mi). To be fair, I ride it only for larger shopping trips so the return trip includes hauling from 20-60lbs of cargo, and most of the routes are mostly in painted bike gutters so I try to ride as fast as I can when on those stretches. Those XL panniers and the large basket I attached on the front also create a lot of air drag. I doubt the 2.0 version will improve much on the efficiency aspect, though 2.5in wide tires should present less rolling resistance than the original’s 3in wide tires.
I don't know what prices will be with the expected tariffs on the 3.0 when (or if) it gets released. This 2.0 was a very sweet upgrade from the 1.0 so who knows what will be next for Lectric. -Mike
@@javascriptes US based company yes but the bikes are manufactured in China and shipped over to their facility in Arizona. I'm hoping for the best anyway.
It's not political, no worries! Historically, Lectric has made a big effort in cutting other areas of overhead like reducing the amount of free accessories that come with a new bike trying to offset the tariff costs. Now, I don't know what will happen moving forward, but based on their past efforts, I'd expect them to keep costs as low as possible. -Mike
Love this video! I’ve been a fan for a long time. We’re hoping to partner with you to showcase our new electric bike. ust sent you an email-looking forward to your reply!
Great preliminary review . Looking forward to seeing more from you. Lectric has my ear.
Thanks Tom! -Mike
Thank you, I like the 2.0 expedition I’m impressed e-bikes
Thanks! I agree!

That's a really solid point Jen! When we get one, I'll get the mechanics thoughts on that and he will share them with you in the full review. -Mike
@@ElectricBikeReview, thanks, Mike! I’d love to see the report on that.😊

Any thoughts on how this compares with the more costly Radwagon 5 or Flyer Via Pro?

That's a great question, ill see if Lectric has an answer on that one. -Mike

You're right, the range claims can be pretty optimistic, I'll be sure to give you a real-world test in the full review when I get the bike. -Mike

Would love to see a dual motor version of the expedition.
That's a great idea, I've heard that a lot from viewers and you never know when Lectric is listening.
Frontloading cargo e-bike would be great.
Those are huge in Europe and I expect to start seeing those pop up over the next year or two in the US. -Mike
These are great but ill wait for the 3.0
I don't know what prices will be with the expected tariffs on the 3.0 when (or if) it gets released. This 2.0 was a very sweet upgrade from the 1.0 so who knows what will be next for Lectric. -Mike
Not to be political or anything but I hope the price of this stays where it is once Tariffs kick in next year.
Lectric is a US based company. I am not sure how the tariff increase will affect prices.
@@javascriptes US based company yes but the bikes are manufactured in China and shipped over to their facility in Arizona.

@FubarMike got it
Not political at all, I was thinking the exact same thing.
