The XPress2 is the price leader for riders who want a full-size e-bike with real power. Lectric lists a 750W rear hub motor that peaks at 1,310W with 85Nm of torque, more than the Velotric and Aventon motors, plus a 48V 672Wh battery rated for up to 60 miles. At $1,399 when we checked, it still includes an 80mm SR Suntour fork, Star Union hydraulic disc brakes, a Shimano Altus 8-speed drivetrain and a 3.5 inch color display with USB-C charging. Riders can toggle between a torque sensor for a natural feel and a cadence sensor for easy assistance, across five modes that cover Class 1, 2 and 3 riding up to 28 mph. Payload is 330 lbs. The weak points for a first bike are weight, at 60 lbs before the battery, and a one-year warranty. Lectric sells online with free shipping and a tool-free assembly claim, and runs a retail store for test rides.
