Phoenix-based electric bicycle brand Lectric eBikes has just unveiled its newest model, the Lectric XP 3.0. Full of new features and updated components, it’s set to likely become one of the best-selling electric bikes in the country.

That’s because the Lectric XP 3.0 is now replacing the Lectric XP 2.0, and it’s upgrading a number of key areas on that bike while retaining the same low $999 sale price. There’s also a long range version with 40% more battery for just $1,199. And for a limited time that promotional price includes free upgrades included a premium seat, suspension seat post, free lock and free upgraded headlight.

From the bike’s new brakes to dual passenger support and upgraded electronics, the new e-bike is chock-full of interesting new additions.

The company was kind enough to invite me out to Phoenix in early September and offer me the first ever test ride on the model, which you can check out in my video below.

But then keep reading afterwards to learn all about the new upgrades on the bike.

First, what stayed the same?

We’ll start off with what remains unchanged, which is essentially the foundation of the bike.

It’s still a folding e-bike with throttle operation up to 20 mph (32 km/h) or pedal assist up to 28 mph (45 km/h). We’ve still got those fairly fat tires at 20″x3″. We’ve still got full LED light package, rear rack, and included fenders, which is basically the commuter trifecta.

And it’s still priced at the more than reasonable $999 that the previous XP 2.0 sold for. Plus the bike shows up at your door fully assembled, meaning there’s not much to do other than pull off the packaging material and start riding. No long assembly process needed!

So the best parts are still there, but the upgrades are where the real interesting features are lurking.

Two passengers, twice the fun

First of all, there’s an integrated rear rack instead of a bolted-on rear rack. That means it’s part of the bike’s frame and is thus extra strong. The rear rack comes with a 150 pound (68 kg) weight rating and is the key to making this a two passenger e-bike.

With the passenger package accessory (and extra $75), owners can add a padded rear bench seat, a set of foot pegs and a handlebar that mounts on the seat post and gives rear riders something to hold onto. If you and your buddy aren’t waist-hugging close then that will likely be a much appreciated accessory.

Lectric eBikes co-founder and CEO Levi Conlow took me out on an XP 3.0 so we could test the passenger package together. He got us up to around 25 mph or so (40 km/h) with me on back, and then I got to take the reigns and shuttle him along for a ride too.

There’s also a “passenger mode” that can be selected via the display to limit the speed to 10 mph (16 km/h) for anyone who isn’t comfortable carrying a second rider at high speeds. It’s a good idea if you’re not used to carrying the extra weight or if your passenger is of the extra flailing variety.

Upgraded motor and controller

To better handle the extra weight of a second rider, the Lectric XP 3.0 received an upgraded motor with extra torque and a higher current controller.

That increased current essentially translates into more peak power, which can be helpful on hill climbing and when getting rolling with a heavy load. The Lectric eBikes team took several XP 3.0 bikes to San Francisco to prove them on the steepest hills in the city, ensuring that the bike will work just about anywhere.

They’ve also made it even easier to pedal at those higher speeds by increasing the highest gear ratio. The 14t sprocket on the rear has been replaced with an even smaller 11t sprocket, meaning your feet won’t be spinning quite as fast at top speed.

And as Levi explained, “you can get up to 28 mph really freaking fast.”

Other improvements include upgraded touchpoints such as nicer hand grips and a more comfortable saddle. And as Levi again explained in his elegantly blunt way, “The seat just cups your butt better, there’s no better way to describe it.”

The bike also sports improved disc brakes with 180 mm rotors and 20% more travel in the hydraulic suspension fork.

A number of new accessories were launched as well, such as food boxes and platforms for delivery riders, Yepp seats for carrying kids, a brighter “Elite” headlight option (which is included for free as part of the Black Friday deal at launch), a new bike cover and waterproof panniers for carrying gear or groceries.

As I was riding the streets around Lectric’s Phoenix headquarters, I couldn’t help but feel like I was on a much nicer e-bike than what you’d expect to get for under a thousand bucks. That’s been a hallmark of the company ever since they launched their original Lectric XP back in 2019: Low prices and getting more than you bargained for.

There are of course other e-bikes out there with much nicer parts, that weigh less or that offer more precision engineered drivetrains. But they compete in completely different categories.

The Lectric XP 3.0 didn’t feel like a $3,000-$4,000 precision machine, but it felt like more than I would ever need for my everyday commuting and leisure riding, that’s for sure.

Lectric XP 3.0: Best bang for your buck e-bike

While I can always nitpick at the bike compared to the more expensive e-bikes I’ve tried, any complaints feel like pot shots.

Sure, it’s fairly heavy at 64 pounds or 29 kg, but that’s what you get with a folding fat tire e-bike with just about every included accessory thrown onto it.

And yes, the parts aren’t terribly high end. You’re looking at basic Shimano shifters, mechanical disc brakes, etc. But it’s all just fine stuff. It may not be fancy, but it’s name brand stuff and it also keeps the bike affordable. For the $999 price, I simply can’t think of another e-bike that offers this much bang for your buck. And when you consider that the long range version with 40% more battery costs just $1,199, this is a legit steal of a deal.

I’ve got no doubt that the Lectric XP 3.0 is going to quickly become one of the best-selling e-bikes in the country, and it very well may sit at the top of that list.

That low price is coming back thanks to the bonus savings, giving you $1,409 in savings and the best price we have tracked.

While we did see it get a $308 bundle back in February, this model has otherwise only been getting $220 in free gear this year, but now, during this sale, we’re seeing a larger bundle than ever in 2025.

The service for new vehicles is available across 130 cities in the US. Although used cars are currently only available in LA, Amazon said new cities will be added in the coming months.

Segway launches new version of its 90-mile range high performance e-bike

Segway launches new version of its 90-mile range high performance e-bike

Segway has just unveiled a striking new version of its popular Xafari electric bike in Crimson Red. The micromobility giant, best known for its scooters and self-balancing tech, is adding a splash of personality to its multi-surface cruiser, all without compromising on the impressive comfort, connectivity, and performance that made the original so interesting and distinctive looking.

The Xafari, which originally debuted at CES 2025 alongside the more moto-styled Segway Xyber, is an e-bike designed to operate in either Class 1, 2, or 3 modes and is built for both urban commuting and light off-road adventure-style riding.

With a 750W rear hub motor and 936 Wh battery, it offers a range of up to 88 miles (142 km), while full suspension and semi-fat 26×3.0” tires help smooth out bumps on everything from pavement to packed dirt trails.

But the real differentiator here is the tech. The Xafari includes a smart 2.4” TFT color display with navigation and ride metrics, an adaptive pedal assist system that automatically adjusts power based on gradient and rider input, and a suite of connectivity tools rarely seen on e-bikes at this price point.

Those include Apple Find My and Segway GPS tracking, an app-based lockout system with motion alarm, and even cloud-based maintenance alerts. There’s also a handlebar scroll wheel to easily control assist levels and the display, as well as an intelligent lighting system with automatic high/low beams.

The new Crimson Red colorway came directly from dealer feedback, with Segway’s retail partners overwhelmingly requesting a bolder, more expressive look.

“This colorway turns heads, but more importantly, it reflects the bold, confident rider we built this product for,” said Nick Howe, head of Segway’s e-bike division. The bike originally launched with much more muted coloring.

The Segway Xafari in Crimson Red is available now through Segway’s website and authorized dealers. It carries an MSRP of $2,399.99, though early promotional pricing drops it to $1,999.99 for the launch.
