3 reasons not to buy

When folded, the display rests dangerously close to other parts, potentially damaging the screen.
One rider wishes the XP Trike had a seat with a backrest. This must be purchased separately.

Bottom line

The Lectric XP Trike is a folding electric tricycle. Experts say the ride is smooth, comfortable, and fun. They also praise the 60-mile battery range, stability, and ability to tackle hills. While the XP Trike arrives fully built, some users complain about damaged components on delivery. Another rider laments the lack of a backrest on the seat. However, for riders seeking the benefits of a three-wheeler with electric assist, Lectric's e-trike offers compelling value.

Lectric XP Trike First Ride: Testing the Low-Cost Electric Trike Made for Everyone

Level 1 expert

It can haul. It can climb. It can fold. It’s a three-wheeled Swiss Army knife with a ridiculous amount of torque and seating for one. Even with only a few hours in the saddle, I can already tell you that this is absolutely going to be a major hit… if they can keep it in stock.

Lectric XP Trike First Ride Part 2 Big Bear’s Wild Donkeys in Shay Meadow

Level 1 expert

She says it goes really fast real quick, brakes work good, it’s fun to ride. She liked the tight turning radius… and that it doesn’t tip over. She… wishes it had suspension (I agree. After riding a full suspension bike, it’s a real let down).

Shipping company allowed both rear fenders to be bent. I needed to use some elbow grease and a little creativity to pry them and keep them from rubbing against the tires. Loving my new electric trike so far!
