The Lectric XP Lite comes in four colors and ships in 4 to 5 weeks. | Image: Lectric Lectric, the US-based maker of budget electric bikes, has a new foldable that costs just $799, before taxes. That's incredibly inexpensive at a time when transportation costs, combined with chip and component shortages, are driving up prices across the e-bike industry. Better yet, it's apparently not junk.
Electrek's Micah Toll, who's ridden more US e-bikes than anyone I know, had the chance to ride the new Lectric XP Lite ahead of production. He says it's the #1 electric bike I will recommend to anyone shopping on a tight budget." High praise.
The Lectric XP Lite iterates on the company's XP and XP 2.0 models, only it's now lighter (but not light at 53 pounds / 24kg with battery) and more compact, while also being more maneuverable...
