Lectric XP 4 (750 Watt) Review | The Bar Has Been Raised

1 week ago | electricbikereport.com | Pete Prebus

Redefining expectations is no small accomplishment, but that’s exactly what Lectric’s original XP did—showing just how much $999 could get you in the world of e-bikes. The XP series built its reputation by packing in more features, versatility, and value than expected for a grand, and Lectric has been building on that formula ever since (while keeping the same starting price).
Lectric XP 4 (500W) Review | Our Best Budget XPerience Yet?

1 week ago | electricbikereport.com | Pete Prebus

Throughout our history of testing and reviewing e-bikes, the $1,000 mark has generally been the point at which a bike’s cost and quality are balanced well enough to earn our recommendation. With a handful of exceptions, Lectric has largely dominated our list of approved affordable e-bikes, with the XP line of folding e-bikes leading the charge. The original model of the XP propelled Lectric toward success; its popularity among RV enthusiasts and entry-level e-bikers formed the brand’s foundation.

The original model delivered a comfortable, capable, and stable ride with its upright geometry, powerful 750W motor, and genre-defining 4-inch-wide tires. The second-generation bike added a torque sensor for improved responsiveness and range.

Trek FX+ 7S Review | Lightweight, Yet Feature-Loaded

2 weeks ago | electricbikereport.com | Pete Prebus

City commuter e-bikes are prized for being lighter, quieter, and more agile than other e-bike styles. They also tend to fly under the radar, with a more stealthy look that doesn’t immediately scream “e-bike” thanks to fewer obvious giveaways. Trek’s FX+ 7S isn’t just trying to fit that mold—it’s aiming to elevate it, delivering a more premium and polished experience that nails those attributes and then some. It starts with the motor.

Tenways is set to introduce an unconventional bike style to the American market at a more accessible price point, while Canyon has unveiled an out-of-the-box concept and is seeking public feedback.

Fiido Air Carbon E-Bike Review | Fetching & Featherlight

2 weeks ago | electricbikereport.com | Pete Prebus

There’s a good reason why many high-end, performance-oriented bikes are made from carbon fiber. This reinforced polymer material is lightweight and strong but not completely rigid. When used correctly, carbon fiber bikes typically have quick acceleration, a high degree of agility, and a comfortable ride. When used incorrectly, they sound cool and look nice, but that’s about it.

3 weeks ago | electricbikereport.com | Pete Prebus

I’ve been testing and reviewing e-bikes for a long time, and since many products overlap, it can sometimes feel like there aren’t many surprises left. In all that time, though, I can’t say I’ve encountered a description like “lightweight, affordable, mid-drive, fat tire electric bike” very often. But that’s exactly what HeyBike’s Alpha is, making it stand out from the norm. So, how does that unique mix of features and adjectives actually feel?
