Lectric eBikes has officially launched the new XPress2, a significantly updated version of its commuter-focused electric bike that adds a long list of premium upgrades while still aiming squarely at the value-focused market the company has become famous for.
The new $1,399 XPress2 comes in two versions: the more performance-oriented high-step “Commuter” model and the comfort-focused step-thru “Cruiser” variant.
While both share the same core platform and electronics, the geometry differs noticeably.
The Commuter gets a more aggressive riding position with sporty “Hybrid Sprint” handlebars, while the Cruiser leans into upright comfort with swept-back bars, an adjustable stem, a step-through frame, and a relaxed fit for easy-going riding.
At the heart of the bike is Lectric’s new Stealth M24 rear hub motor, a model that has graced several of the company’s recently launched e-bikes. It is rated at 750W nominal and peaks at 1,310W with 85 Nm of torque. With Class 1, 2, or 3 functionality depending on the user-adustable configuration, the bike can top out at 28 mph (45 km/h) or be dialed back to lower speed limits.
