Lectric's XPress2 comes as a step-through or high-step, each in two colors.
Testers are impressed with the responsive pedal assist using either the torque or cadence sensor.
The XPress2 includes a headlight, a taillight with brake actuation and turn signals, and, at the time of writing, a 30lb-capacity rear rack and fenders.
Reviewers praise the XPress2's excellent stopping power.
In testing, the XPress2 easily overcomes steep hills.
Reviewers find the handling nimble, yet stable at top speed.
A 205lb reviewer gets 33.6 miles of range using max pedal assist in the default Class 2, torque-sensing mode.
Reviewers say the suspension fork absorbs small road vibrations well.
Testers enjoy the upright riding position on the step-through XPress2.
Experts relish the throttle’s responsiveness and fast acceleration.
Testers say the 2.1” street tires roll fast over pavement, and they come equipped with Slime to enhance puncture resistance.
Both frames have 12” of saddle height adjustability, and the step-through has an adjustable stem.
Experts say the color display is bright and easy to use, and it has a USB-C charge port.
Through the display, riders can adjust e-bike class, use a torque multiplier, and change the throttle to match PAS level.

8 reasons not to buy

One frame size for riders from 5’2” to 6’4” is unrealistic; riders at either end of the range may not fit.
Two testers find the step-through’s cruiser handlebars too narrow.
At a reviewer-tested 72lb, XPress2 weighs more than Lectric’s claim, and is heavy for a commuter e-bike.
Four of the five PAS levels reach 20mph in Class 2, cadence sensor mode.
The included 2A charger takes a lengthy seven hours to charge the battery.
A reviewer complains that the preload adjustment makes very little difference to the suspension fork's stiffness.
Two testers report the headlight rattling, especially when going over rougher surfaces.
Reviewers find the battery readout inaccurate.

Bottom line

The Lectric XPress2 is a commuter e-bike offered as a step-through cruiser or step-over hybrid. Reviewers say this version brings meaningful improvements over its predecessor, most notably a more powerful motor and switchable cadence and torque sensors. In testing, the XPress2 displays impressive climbing power, braking, and acceleration. While its ergonomics and handling are highly praised, some testers of the step-through dislike the cruiser handlebars. Also, sizing seems exaggerated, and the weight is relatively high. Despite these flaws, Lectric's XPress2 is highly recommended for its excellent value.
