Lectric eBikes launches updated XPeak 2.0 off-road e-bike for a killer price

The Phoenix-based electric bike maker Lectric Ebikes has been on a tear lately, launching updated versions of its wildly popular electric bicycle models. The latest in a string of affordably priced updates is the new Lectric XPeak off-road e-bike, packing a surprising amount of tech and upgrades for a surprisingly low price of just $1,399. And to sweeten the deal even further, the launch promotion includes over $300 in free accessories, too.

It’s all pretty much par for the course at Lectric, which has spent years growing its lineup of affordable, popular e-bikes that offer some of the best bang-for-your-buck in the industry.

The XPeak 2.0 is the latest example, adding significant upgrades to the second generation version, including a new torque sensor for smooth and responsive pedal assist, plus surprisingly high-end components such as the RST Renegade front suspension fork.

“With the RST Renegade fork, excellent componentry, and an industry-leading low price, we knew the XPeak would be a hit,” explained Lectric eBikes co-founder and CEO Levi Conlow. “While the 2.0 version gets even better with a torque sensor and bigger battery options, most importantly, we knew we had to give our riders what they expect from Lectric: the same low price as the first model.”

At just $1,399, Lectric has kept the price of its newest off-road e-bike the same as the first generation while offering impressive specs.

The 750-watt Stealth M24 motor (which actually puts out around 1,300W of peak power) has become a staple of Lectric’s e-bikes, providing more power and torque than most other e-bikes in this class. In fact, with 85 Nm of torque, Lectric’s models often make it to the top of the hill quicker and more reliably than other brands in head-to-head tests.

Like most of the company’s models, the Class 3 XPeak 2.0 can reach a top speed of 28 mph (45 km/h) on pedal assist, as well as 20 mph (32 km/h) on throttle-only riding.

In addition to the standard 15Ah battery offering 60 miles (96 km) of range, there’s a new 20Ah battery for an even longer lasting 80 miles (130 km) of range. Both battery options are easily removable for charging either on or off of the bike.

The XPeak 2.0’s structural changes compared to the first generation include a new hydroformed aluminum frame, lock-on hand grips, a larger 203 mm front disc to give the hydraulic brakes even more stopping power, and a new color LCD display.

The bike also gets new blacked-out fork stanchions for a stealthier look and comes in the Tempest Grey colorway for the high step frame and stratus white for the easy-to-mount step-through frame option.

For safety, the XPeak 2.0 has been certified to ISO 4210-10, a rigorous electric mountain bike standard testing that covers the structure of the bike, as well as UL-compliance to UL 2849, a standard that covers an e-bike’s battery, controller, motor, and other electronic components.

The Lectric XPeak is now available for pre-order, starting at $1,399. The company is also offering $365 in free accessories bundled with pre-orders, including a rear rack, fenders, elite headlight, bottle-shaped bike lock, and suspension seat post.
