As a brand, Lectric consistently delivers some of the best value e-bikes across various categories, from fat-tire models to folding designs. But their XPedition 2.0 cargo bike might just be the best value in all of e-bikes. Full stop.
For starters, this is an impressively capable ride. It boasts an unusually high weight capacity, supporting up to 300 lbs on the rear rack alone, and it’s backed by independently tested safety certifications (DIN standard). As expected, it’s compatible with a wide range of accessories that cargo bike riders need—whether for hauling kids, groceries, gear, or a combination of all three.
It’s also packed with features rarely found on a bike starting at just $1,399. Standard equipment includes integrated lights, turn signals, fenders, wheel guards, a color display, a quick-adjust stem, 8-speed gearing, and even a suspension fork—features that many competing bikes lack, or charge a lot more for.
Powering the bike is Lectric’s M24 motor, delivering 750W of power and 85Nm of torque. But what really sets it apart is Lectric’s custom PWR+ programming, which might be at its best on this model. This system blends cadence and torque sensor technology, meaning you’ll get steady assistance as soon as the pedals start to move, but when hauling a heavy load or climbing a hill, it senses the extra effort and provides additional power when needed. That translates to easier starts and smooth performance across changing terrain—without unexpected slowdowns.
And if range is a concern, the XPedition 2.0 offers one of the largest battery capacities we’ve seen. With three different configurations, you can select a standard 624Wh battery, or upgrade to a massive 1,248Wh dual-battery setup—one of the biggest available on any e-bike. That’s more than enough juice to maximize payload capacity and haul heavy loads all over town for days between charges.
