WIRED Nice suspension. Reliable shifters. Solid range. Affordable. Improved rideability. Includes a throttle. Comes with a suite of well-built accessories and a rear rack. TIRED Heavy. Still feels clunky to fold. Difficult to carry.

is the same for the XP 3.0. This thing comes completely assembled, so all you need to do is take it out of the box and unfold it. It's still freakin' heavy , but I found it easier to unfold than the cheaper and lighterIt's still annoying to maneuver and carry. I wish there was a way to affix the tires to each other when the Lectric is folded up, à la the, which has tires that can be hooked together so that the whole ebike can roll around like a trolley. The XP 3.

Make sure you choose the Elite Bundle when you buy, as it comes with a larger seat, suspension seat post, bike lock, and Elite headlight. These are all really handy accessories. As a 6'4" man, I much prefer the giant seat over the original saddle; it's more comfortable. This is my first time trying a suspension seat post, and consider me a convert. It makes those sudden bumps on the road easier on the butt.

Three years on and I'm still not a fan of how you power the ebike. Lectric makes you stick a key into the bottom frame of the downtube. Twist it to turn the battery on so that you can press the power button on the handlebar and bring the XP 3.0 to life. If you plan to park it outdoors often, the key also unlocks the battery, allowing you to take it indoors for safety and recharging. I just hate constantly having to reach the underside of the frame.
