Lectric, the US-based maker of budget electric bikes, has a new foldable that costs just $799<\/a>, before taxes. That\u2019s 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\u2019s apparently not junk.<\/p>\n
Electrek\u2019s<\/em> Micah Toll, who\u2019s 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\u2019s \u201cthe #1 electric bike I will recommend to anyone shopping on a tight budget<\/a>.\u201d High praise.<\/p>\n
\n<\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"pOjkqj\">The Lectric XP Lite iterates on the company\u2019s XP and XP 2.0 models, only it\u2019s now lighter (but not light at 53 pounds \/ 24kg with battery) and more compact, while also being more maneuverable according to the company.<\/p>\n<p id=\"CglFjh\">The class 2 e-bike is fitted with a 300W (capable of a 720W peak) rear hub motor that tops out at 20mph (32km\/h). It\u2019s powered by a 375Wh-capacity battery that\u2019s good for about 15 miles (24km) using only the throttle, or 40 miles (64km) in the lowest pedal-assist mode.<\/p>\n<p id=\"YQnjXL\">Best of all, if you\u2019re in the US then you can rely upon local shipping and support from the Arizona-based company, unlike anyone that bought the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/4\/8\/23016232\/fiido-x-break-in-two-recall\">cheap but dangerous Fiido X<\/a> which is now facing a global recall. <\/p>\n<p id=\"YuMJwN\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1514734&#038;xs=1&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Flectricebikes.com%2Fproducts%2Fxp-lite-arctic-white&#038;referrer=theverge.com&#038;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theverge.com%2F2022%2F4%2F12%2F23021623%2Fcheap-folding-ebike-price-specs-date\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" has-subtag=\"true\" data-cdata='{\"rewritten_url\":\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com?xcust=___vg__p_22785664__m_m-placeholder__s_s-placeholder__t_w__c_c-placeholder__r_r-placeholder__d_d-placeholderu0026id=66960X1514734u0026xs=1u0026url=https:\/\/lectricebikes.com\/products\/xp-lite-arctic-whiteu0026referrer=theverge.comu0026sref=https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/4\/12\/23021623\/cheap-folding-ebike-price-specs-date\",\"subtag_max_length\":50,\"subtag_delim_length\":3,\"subtag_key\":\"xcust\",\"subtag_data\":{\"xcust\":\"___vg__p_22785664__m_m-placeholder__s_s-placeholder__t_w__c_c-placeholder__r_r-placeholder__d_d-placeholder\",\"id\":\"66960X1514734\",\"xs\":\"1\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/lectricebikes.com\/products\/xp-lite-arctic-white\",\"referrer\":\"theverge.com\",\"sref\":\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/4\/12\/23021623\/cheap-folding-ebike-price-specs-date\"},\"encode_subtag\":false}'>Lectric XP Lite<\/a> comes in four colors \u2014 white, blue, black, and \u201csand\u201d \u2014 and ships in a relatively quick four to five weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><code><br \/><\/br><\/code><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/4\/12\/23021623\/cheap-folding-ebike-price-specs-date\">https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/4\/12\/23021623\/cheap-folding-ebike-price-specs-date<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: Lectric, the US-based maker of budget electric bikes, has a new foldable that costs just $799, before taxes.
