Lectric XPress2 Review | Commute & Cruise However You Choose

XPress2 keeps two frame styles while moving to a single 750W motor option. The bike adds an 8-speed drivetrain and upgraded Star Union hydraulic disc brakes, paired with an SR Suntour XCM suspension fork. A color TFT display provides a user interface with customization features. The pedal assist system can switch between torque-sensing and cadence-sensing modes, enabling either responsive, active assistance or a more relaxed, low-effort ride. Included commuter essentials include a cargo rack, fenders, and integrated tail and brake lights with turn signals. The model is positioned as a cruiser/commuter e-bike with Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 capability depending on assist and throttle behavior.

"The XPress2 continues Lectric's long-standing tradition of giving riders more bang for the buck. This new-and-improved version of the bike offers the same two frame style options, though both are only available with a powerful, hill-crushing 750W motor. In fact, the specs have improved almost across the board, with 8-speed drivetrains, custom-and seriously capable-Star Union hydraulic disc brakes, and an SR Suntour XCM suspension fork."

"Additionally, the XPress2 now includes a sharp color TFT display, which comes with a slick user interface and a host of customization options. Perhaps the most notable of these is the ability to switch between torque- and cadence-sensing pedal assist modes, giving riders the choice for an active and responsive ride, or a more relaxed and low-effort experience."

"The addition of an included cargo rack, fenders, and integrated tail/brake lights with turn signals rounds out this value-packed package. For the price, the XPress2 clearly brings a lot to the table. Does its real-world performance hold up, too? Keep reading below to learn more about its results in our standardized testing, and to see how it compares to similar models on the market."

"First, it was the brand's first full-size, non-folding e-bike. Second, it was the first Lectric model equipped with a torque sensor, and the lowest-priced e-bike with this sensor type we'd seen upon its release. Finally, the bike came in two distinct flavors: a high-step commuter and a step-thru city cruiser-both with 500W and 750W options."
