Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Lectric XPremium. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

21 reasons to buy

  • The XPremium is kitted out with two 48V 10.4Ah batteries to offer 1000Wh and up to 100 miles of range (using PAS 1).
  • The XPremium can be configured as a Class 1, 2, or 3 electric bike.
  • Testers say the XPremium is “torquey” and able to climb quickly.
  • The XPremium’s low-slung frame is easy for less-flexible riders to mount and dismount.
  • This bike stops with powerful Zoom hydraulic disc brakes and 160mm rotors.
  • The XPremium employs a motor cut-off feature to better slow the bike on braking.
  • A ‘cruise control’ feature allows riders to lock in a speed.
  • Fat 20” x 4” tires allow the XPremium to handle gravel, sand and dirt.
  • Tires come pre-filled with Slime, for added puncture-protection.
  • An 82mm suspension fork deals with mid-sized rocks and ruts.
  • A rear rack is included. It can handle a load up to 55lb.
  • The XPremium’s stretched-out step-through frame suits shorter riders.
  • Lectric say the XPremium can take on a big load, of up to 330lb.
  • A shift sensor prolongs the XPremium’s drivetrain.
  • Integrated front and rear lights are included. The taillight flashes on braking.
  • The XPremium has an IP65 rating, meaning good dust and water resistance.
  • Space-saving foldable pedals are a feature of the XPremium.
  • Owners can remove the battery lock key while riding.
  • A number of testers liked the XPremium’s faux-leather grips.
  • The XPremium’s display is easy to read. It shows the bike’s speed clearly.
  • Color-matched metal fenders are included, front and rear.

4 reasons not to buy

  • At 75lb, the XPremium is heavy and hard to lift, especially when folded.
  • The XPremium is available in one size that may not suit riders over 6’.
  • RV travellers say the folded XPremium takes up more room than other folding bikes.
  • A tester found the XPremium was not nimble in off-road conditions.

Bottom line

The XPremium is Lectric’s premier e-bike. With two batteries and a mid-drive motor, it has a stated range of almost 100 miles (using PAS 1). Mid-range components provide reliable performance at an affordable price. The bike can be configured for all e-bike classifications. An 82mm suspension fork offers double the travel of the XP 2.0. Reviewers praise the on-road ride as luxurious, comfortable, and powerful. However, the “heavy as hell“ 75lb weight hinders agility and comfort off-road and makes the bike hard to carry. The fat tires handle various terrains and come pre-filled with slime, for peace of mind regarding punctures. The XPremium is deemed a good low-cost option for a first mid-drive e-bike.

Lectric eBikes Unveils XPremium Low-Cost Mid-Drive Folding Electric Bike With Torque Sensor

It rides great, and the mid-drive motor is really a thing of beauty. The motor is powerful, the fat tires and comfortable geometry make for a relaxed ride, and the brakes are super grippy. You simply won’t find many mid-drive e-bikes at this price. Snatch it up before the price increases.

Lectric XPremium Dual Battery Folding eBike With Torque Mid Drive and 20” x 4.0” Fat Tires

So, in a nutshell, mid-drive super-cool. Complete control with no surprises. Hydraulic disc brakes stop on a dime. A little heavier… it’s 75 lb. It does fold up quite well.

Lectric XPremium Deep Dive: The Cadillac of Foldable eBikes

The mid-drive motor is just silky smooth, something you can’t reproduce with a hub motor. I like the hydraulic brakes and built-in battery. This is a big e-bike, even when folded, so not as portable as other bikes. The large frame on this bike feels way better than most other foldable e-bikes.

Fate Unbound

Huge Range & Decked Out – The All New Lectric XPremium eBike!

It is like the Harley Davidson cruiser of e-bikes; comfortable, big, beefy, decked-out. So responsive and great to ride. Kinda cumbersome to ride on off-road terrain. It is big, it’s heavy and therefore it’s less portable. This motor is extremely powerful.

Lectric XPremium Dual Battery E-Bike

They got those big 4” tires plus they put that green slime in it so if you’re out there, you get a puncture, guess what? No flat tire. Really good braking system.

New Lectric XPremium Review

It’s a very powerful bike. Torquey. A lot more get-up and go. I feel as though it’s more powerful on hills. I do like those new hydraulic brakes.
