Lectric has built quite a name for itself in the U.S. e-bike market thanks to its affordable yet impressively capable electric bicycles. The brand has always been all about providing the most utility and convenience at a fraction of the cost of more expensive two-wheelers from European manufacturers, and indeed, it has been doing just that.
Even the company's CEO, Levi Conlow is very active in the e-bike community, and is clearly passionate about his work. The result are e-bikes that have been developed with a lot of thought, creativity, and technology, while at the same time being within the reach of most commuters' budgets. The newest model to roll out of's assembly line is none other than the XPedition, and as the name suggests, it's geared up to be much more than just your city commuter.
Right off the bat, the Lectric XPedition has versatility in mind. The folks over at Lectric have gone as far as to say that it's the most extensive project to date, and is designed to handle anything and everything from taking the kids to school, handling delivery duty, and even hitting the trails for an advenutre-filled bikepacking trip. For starters, the XPedition is built on a durable platform capable of handling up to 450 pounds—rider, passenger, and cargo included.
While there are indeed a variety of powerful e-bikes out there, the Lectric XPedition takes things a step further by throwing in its proprietary Pedal Assist Wattage Regulation system. This means that the motor is able to tailor fit pedal assistance depending on the power setting, instead of limiting speed alone. While this isn't as seamless as a torque-sensor equipped system, it does put a techie spin on the rudimentary cadence sensor-powered system.
