This time the brand has unveiled another doozy with some serious value-added features. The updated new Lectric XP Lite 2.0 features Gates carbon belt drive and hydraulic disc brakes. The twist is that the new e-bike will keep the price at the original model’s famous $799 price tag.
“As the lightest e-bike in Lectric’s lineup and a low starting price of $799, the foldable XP Lite has become beloved by riders across the country, from college students to RV enthusiasts,” explained the company.
Let’s have deep dive in the Lectric XP Lite 2.0
Battery and Range
The XP Lite 2.0 features the standard 7.8 Ah (375 Wh) battery that will offer riders a maximum range of up to 45 miles on pedal assist. Also for those requiring more distance, the long-range version with a 14 Ah (672 Wh) battery that can achieve up to 80 miles on a single charge is offered by the company.
The company also says that the providing batteries are certified to the UL 2271 standard that ensure the safety and reliability of the batteries. The long-range battery is an excellent option for commuters or those planning longer trips, providing extensive riding time without frequent recharges.
Performance and Safety
Just other e-bikes, the XP Lite 2.0 E-bikes, are also compiled to the UL standard. It is certified to the UL 2849 standard with the UL 2271 certified battery. Offers the same 20 mph (32 km/h) top speed on both throttle and pedal assists, this 49 lbs (22 kg) XP Lite 2.0 is significantly lighter than many of the 60-70lb folding electric bikes segment.
It also features a pint-sized rear motor, carries a modest 350W continuous power rating, but gets an impressive 819 peak-watt rating. It’s also known as the Stealth M24 motor and is said to deliver a 400% quieter ride. It’s a bit hard to imagine what 400% quieter really means, but I imagine the take-home message for your rides is less gear noise and more wind noise.
Design and Convenience
The XP Lite 2.0 also features 20×2.5-inch slick tires with a 3mm Hippo Skin liner and pre-Slimed tubes to prevent punctures. It also includes new “BMX-style” handlebars, an updated color display, and a right-side half-twist throttle. The bike’s foldable design ensures easy storage and transportation, making it an ideal choice for urban commuters and travelers.
Further the new XP Lite 2.0 will come in five colors (Including a new lavender option) and now offers more options than even before.

The new electric XP Lite 2.0 comes with several upgraded features that enhance its value. All updated versions include hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors that offer superior stopping power and safety to riders. Also the Gates Carbon Drive belt in the JW Black version provides a maintenance-free, smooth, and quiet transmission, lasting longer than traditional chains.
