BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the Lectric XP4. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
13 reasons to buy
- The XP4 is available as a step-through or step-over, and with a 500W motor (XP4) or 750W motor (XP4 750).
- Reviewers compliment the handling, saying the bike feels maneuverable yet stable.
- In testing, this bike's braking distances are shorter than almost all other comparable e-bikes.
- This bike has a headlight, a taillight with turn signals and brake activation, fenders, and a 150lb-rated rear rack.
- Reviewers praise the smooth, responsive pedal assist, which is tuned to provide more power with less effort, though one tester complains that the torque sensor feels more like a cadence sensor at higher speeds.
- Experts enjoy the relaxed, upright riding position and short reach, and are impressed by the adjustability offered by the long seatpost and telescoping stem, but none checks the actual fit range.
- In testing, the XP4 750 climbs hills faster than all comparable electric folders.
- Testers say the TFT display is bright and easy to use. They appreciate the inclusion of a USB-C port for powering devices.
- Experts find the modest suspension fork helps absorb small bumps.
- The frame has mounts for two bottle cages, a tool, and a front basket. A Thule kid seat can be mounted using the LevelUp rear rack.
- The XP4 is only 37" x 19" x 29" when folded. Testers find folding quick and easy, and appreciate the quick-release pedals.
- Lectric includes tire slime to further enhance the puncture-resistant tires.
- Buyers say Lectric customer support is responsive and helpful.
6 reasons not to buy
- At a measured 72lb (500W) and 74lb (750W), the XP4 is hard to lift and cumbersome when folded.
- Reviewers find the frame halves hit each other when the bike is folded, damaging the paint.
- One tester says the base XP4's 500W motor struggles uphill.
- A reviewer finds the thumb throttle hard to modulate at low speeds.
- The bike's design complicates the process of removing the battery.
- Two reviewers complain that the battery rattles inside the frame.
Bottom line
Lectric's XP4, the fourth generation of its fat-tire electric folder, now has a torque sensor, comfier geometry, and an upgraded drivetrain. It's available as a step-through or step-over, and with a 500W motor and 499.2Wh battery or 750W motor and 840Wh battery. Its smooth power, strong brakes, and features win praise. The 750W is one of the fastest up hills, but the 500W struggles. The battery rattles and is frustrating to remove, the poorly designed folding leads to paint damage, and the bike is heavy. However, reviewers are generally in awe of the value the XP4 provides over similar e-folders.
