Lectric XP4

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.

The Ranger S lacks a mechanism to hold the bike together while folded.

Some buyers report the brake cable rubbing on the front tire, requiring adjustments.

Bottom line

The Heybike Ranger S is a fat-tire folding e-bike with a step-through frame and a choice of four colors. This bike receives praise for its responsive power, comfort, stability, and off-road performance. Experts also appreciate the reliable brakes, riding range, and rapid charging. The drawbacks are mostly minor, such as an inconsistent battery level indicator, ghost pedaling, and high weight. Despite these considerations, experts agree the Ranger S is a well-priced option in the folding fat-tire segment.
