The five levels of pedal assist on the Lectric XP 3.0 provide a range of options to suit your riding style and terrain. The bike can go up to a maximum speed of 20mph. You can choose from gentle assistance to give you a boost on hills or full assistance to power you along on a straightaway. With pedal-assist, you can enjoy the benefits of exercise while still easily getting to your destination.
For those times when you need a little more speed or power, the half-twist throttle on the XP 3.0 delivers pure power on demand. This means that you can quickly accelerate from a standing start or cruise at higher speeds with minimal effort. The twist throttle is easy to use and provides a quick boost whenever you need it, making it ideal for commuting or longer rides.
One of the standout features of the Lectric XP 3.0 is its powerful 500W hub motor (1000W peak) with 55nm of torque, coupled with a 20 amp controller.

Whether you’re cruising around town or exploring off-road trails, the XP 3.0 has the power to handle any challenge.

The Rear Rack on the Lectric XP 3.0 is constructed from sturdy and durable materials that ensure it can withstand the weight of heavy cargo without bending or breaking.

Another advantage of the Rear Rack is that it allows you to free up your hands while you ride, making operating the bike safer and more comfortable. You won’t have to worry about holding onto your bags or backpack while you ride, and you can focus on the road ahead instead. This feature is particularly useful for those who use their e-bikes for commuting or running errands.
The Rear Rack also adds to the overall aesthetic appeal of the Lectric XP 3.0. It complements the design of the bike and provides a sleek and stylish look that will turn heads wherever you go. The fact that it is integrated into the bike’s frame also means that it won’t detract from the bike’s overall performance or handling.
Throttle
The twist throttle delivers pure power on demand, giving riders an added boost when they need it most. This feature is especially helpful for those times when you need to quickly accelerate or climb steep hills.
Tires
The Lectric XP 3.0 comes equipped with puncture-resistant 20” x 3” fat tires that make for a smoother ride. Slime is also installed to prevent flat tires- at no additional cost. This means you can spend less time worrying about punctures and more time enjoying your ride.
Motor
The 500W hub-motor (1000W Peak) with 55nm of torque, coupled with a 20 amp controller, delivers power and speed quicker than ever before. This means you can get up to speed quickly and tackle steep hills with ease.
Suspension Fork
The front oil suspension fork softens any ride, making even the bumpiest terrain feel smooth and comfortable. This feature is especially helpful for those who plan on taking their ebike off-road.
Battery
The Lectric XP 3.0 comes with either a Standard or Long-Range internal 48V lithium-ion battery to power your ride for up to 45 or 65 miles respectively.** This means you can take longer rides without having to worry about running out of juice.
Freewheel
The 11-28 tooth freewheel provides pedaling efficiency and an easier riding experience at higher speed, boosted by a 7-gear drivetrain. This feature makes pedaling feel more natural, allowing riders to focus on enjoying their ride.
Lectric XP 3.0 Brakes
The Lectric XP 3.0 is equipped with 180mm mechanical disc brakes that provide ultimate stopping power in wet or dry conditions. These brakes are responsive and easy to use, allowing you to quickly slow down or come to a complete stop as needed. The mechanical disc brakes are also low-maintenance and long-lasting, reducing the need for frequent adjustments or replacements.
In addition to the mechanical disc brakes, the Lectric XP 3.0 also features motor inhibitors, which automatically cut off power to the motor when you apply the brakes. This added safety feature helps to prevent accidents by ensuring that the bike stops as quickly as possible when you need it to. It’s especially useful when riding in crowded areas or on steep hills, where sudden stops may be necessary.
Weight
Despite all its features, the Lectric XP 3.0 weighs in at just 64lbs with the 7lb battery installed. Its foldable design also guarantees that it will fit into virtually any compact space, making it perfect for those living in small apartments or with limited storage space.
Charging
An external charging port on the down tube allows riders to charge the eBike without removing the battery. Meanwhile, interchangeable spare batteries can be removed and installed in seconds, doubling your range.
LCD Display
The Lectric XP 3.0 comes with a backlit, heads-up LCD display that provides riders with trip and battery intelligence on the go. The display shows you your current speed, battery level, distance traveled, and the level of pedal assist you are currently using. It also includes an odometer to track your total distance traveled and a trip meter to track your progress on individual rides. With the IP-65 rated electrical components, you can rest assured that the display will remain protected from dust and water damage, ensuring greater durability and longevity.
Saddle & Grips
The Lectric XP 3.0 features a custom-designed saddle and softer durometer ergonomic grips that add to the sporty look while also providing greater comfort. The new saddle has been designed with an improved shape to reduce pressure on your sit bones, allowing you to ride longer without experiencing discomfort. The softer durometer ergonomic grips also provide greater comfort for your hands, reducing fatigue and allowing you to maintain better control over the bike.
Lectric XP 3.0 Safety Features
Passenger Mode
For added safety, the Lectric XP 3.0 includes a passenger mode that limits the maximum speed to 10mph when a passenger is on the bike. This feature ensures that the bike is more stable and easier to control with the added weight of a passenger, reducing the risk of accidents or injuries. It’s a great feature for those who enjoy riding with a friend or family member, especially on leisurely rides through the park or around the neighborhood.
Safety Lights
The Lectric XP 3.0 features an integrated safety system that includes a headlamp and taillight combination, both powered by the internal battery. The lights are designed to make you more visible to other motorists and pedestrians, helping to keep you safe while you ride. The headlamp illuminates the road ahead, allowing you to see where you’re going even in low-light conditions, while the taillight makes you visible from behind, ensuring that other drivers can see you from a distance. With these safety features, you can ride with greater confidence and peace of mind.
