New Lectric 750xpress step-through in the wild
Posted by Gr0miT@reddit | ebikes | View on Reddit | 17 comments
My buddy ordered a 750 express and they send him a new model that is coming out later this month since current model was out of stock. Looks upgraded fork, controller with actual ride modes and different button interface on the handlebars. Haven't seen it in person yet.

Is lectric coming out with non folding models?
iSmurf@reddit
Xpeak is non folding.

For the last 2 or 3 years.

I'm in Canada, the only models they show on their website are folding

They've had several non-folding models for a while now.

Did he not put the screen on yet?
Gr0miT@reddit (OP)
Not sure, he send me that picture when he was assembling it but screen is in the middle

Looks like an SR Suntour XCM 34 fork. Are they ditching their in-house forks?
Good to see the crappy 7 speed Tourney thumbshifter is gone. They appear to have gone to an 8 speed Altus trigger shifter. The Tourney drivetrain was the weakest link in the XPress.

I did call them to ask and they said this new refresh will have a ‘quieter motor’ and ability to swap between torque and cadence. Too bad we bought ours a month ago and got the current model, oh well, my wife still loves it.

Now that you mention it, the loud motor on the 750 made it hard to recommend over the 500. Sensor swap is an awesome feature to have because sometimes you want cadence mode to tackle big hills.
These are solid improvements. Makes the 750 an easy recommendation for the value.
Sometimes it's better to stop looking after you buy. You will almost invariably end up salivating over new releases.

lol no kidding, she loves hers and we will keep it obviously but new model has really good implements it seems

Weight? Can you ballpark it?
Gr0miT@reddit (OP)
Previous gen is about 57lb or so with battery. This one looks like almost the same frame.

Nice! Just got a Lectric Xpeak 2 myself

Anybody else think this looks like a plastic toy?

The background blur looks like it was added after it was taken and it makes it look like the front of the bike in particular is photoshopped in
OP thanks for sharing, is the battery removable and also where's the display?
Gr0miT@reddit (OP)
Yeah I blurred the background for his privacy since it wasn’t my photo. Display is still in the middle, just laying flat. Battery is removable.
