Hi, I'm a 5'10 230lb guy wanting a foldable Ebike. I had one, the Ivanti 5th wheel Ebike but it was faulty, pain to fold and way to heavy to fold & lift, nor push up a pet ramp. So I was looking at Lectric XP Lite. I have lifting issues so I do want a bike under 50lbs with & without battery. Price also $1k or less.

Thanks!

Llectric XP Lite is your best choice

do you have one? if so, is it easy to pick up? also, I notice it doesnt have suspension but I will add a suspension seat post. will that be good enough to damper riding effects? I did try a heavier ebike with suspension but returned it due to the weight despite it being called portable; 60lbs yah right

I don't own one but it is just under 50 lb, foldable for.easy storage and transport, in your budget and from a company with a good rep and building a repair and warranty network with local bike shops. About as good as you wi get without spending hundreds more. And a decent suspension seatpost like Suntour NCX will take up most road bumps. Don't waste money on the cheap pogo stick ones, they just bounce you around! (Although plenty of people are just fine with them)

Thanks for the added info. I’ll look at the sun tour. I do own a pogo stick and thought it was great vs a fixed post. But an even better one could be intriguing.
