The short answer

The Lectric XPress 2 on the Cruiser page is $1,399, crossed out from $2,122, with a preorder note for the week of September 28. Lectric prints 750 watts, 1,310 peak, 85 newton-meters, a 48-volt 14-amp-hour pack, and up to 60 miles. Electric Bike Report’s prose is just over 53 miles in Tour and just over 33 in Turbo. An older XPress 750 page is still $1,299.

The Lectric XPress 2 on the Cruiser product page is a step-through commuter, not a folder. That page shows $1,399, with $2,122 crossed out, and a preorder note for the week of September 28. Lectric prints a 750-watt rear hub that peaks at 1,310 watts and 85 newton-meters, a 48-volt 14-amp-hour pack, up to 60 miles, Class 1, 2, or 3, and 28 mph. Forty-eight times 14 is 672 watt-hours, which is the watt-hour number on the page. The row on this desk’s list links here.

The Cruiser page, and the XPress 750 that is still for sale

Lectric’s XPress2 Stratus White Cruiser page, and Electric Bike Report’s XPress2 review. A separate Lectric page titled XPress 750 Step-Thru is a different title.

What is printed
PriceCruiser page: $1,399, crossed out from $2,122. Preorder: ships the week of September 28. EBR’s review price: $1,399. The XPress 750 Step-Thru page this desk opened: $1,299, crossed out from $1,635. That page is not titled XPress2.
MotorCruiser page: 750W rear hub, 1,310W peak, 85 Nm. Thumb throttle. XPerience Switch: torque or cadence, changed in the settings. Controller: 24A, IP-X5 on that page.
Battery48V 14Ah (672Wh), UL 2271. Claim: up to 60 miles. Spare-battery page: the same 48V 14Ah pack, and it names an XPress2 Cruiser and an XPress2 Commuter. EBR: about 7 hours on the standard charger, under 3 hours on an optional 5-amp charger.
Range testEBR prose: just over 53 miles in Tour, torque sensor, second assist from the bottom. Just over 33 miles in Turbo with the throttle. The spec card on that review also prints 54 miles next to Tour, a 65-mile line, and a 30-mile line. No rider weight in the section this desk read.
WeightCruiser page: 60 lb with the battery removed, and that battery is 6 lb. EBR’s review: 72 lb. Payload on the Cruiser page: 330 lb max rider. Rear rack line: 30 lb.
ChassisCruiser page: fork 80 mm, Star Union 602 hydraulic discs, 180 mm rotors, 8-speed freewheel, Shimano Altus, 11-32T, 27.5×2.1 slicks, 3.5-inch color display with USB-C, rider height 5 ft 2 in to 6 ft 3 in. Dimensions: 72 × 17 × 43 in. One-year warranty. The bike is UL 2849. EBR: fenders, lights, turn signals, and a rear rack are on the bike they rode.

Sixty plus six is 66. Seventy-two is not 66. Lectric did not print 66. EBR did not print 60. Do not publish 69 as the weight. The range card is the same kind of fight. The prose says just over 53 and just over 33. The card says 53, 54, 65, and 30. Sixty miles is the claim, with no rider weight next to it. This desk did not ride a loop.

A crossed-out price is not a second test. $1,399 is the number on the Cruiser cart. $1,299 is a different page, with a different title.

Who it is for

It is the commuter you buy when the bike does not have to fold and the cart is Lectric’s. The XP4 is the folder. The Velotric Discover 3 is the other torque-or-cadence step-through on this list, at $1,999 on the pages this desk could read. The switch is real on the Cruiser page. Read torque versus cadence before you leave it in the mode you will hate at a light. The spare-battery page names a Commuter as well as this Cruiser. This sheet is the Cruiser URL.

Class 1, 2, or 3 is the menu Lectric prints, with 28 mph at the top of that menu. The peak is 1,310 watts. The nominal line is 750. The class chart is where a peak over 750 sits next to the federal motor line. This desk is not issuing the sticker. The watt-hour page is 48 times 14. The UL 2849 line is on the bike and UL 2271 is on the pack, which is the pair you want before the battery comes inside. One year is the warranty on the Cruiser page. That is shorter than a lot of dealer bikes. The cart is still the price.

Questions people ask

How much is a Lectric XPress 2?+

The Cruiser product page shows $1,399, with $2,122 crossed out, and a preorder that ships the week of September 28. Electric Bike Report’s review also prints $1,399. A different page titled XPress 750 Step-Thru still shows $1,299. The cart is the price.

What is the Lectric XPress 2 range?+

Lectric prints up to 60 miles and does not name a rider weight. EBR’s prose says just over 53 miles in Tour on the torque sensor, and just over 33 in Turbo with the throttle. The spec card on that same review prints 53 and also 54, and it labels a 65-mile line and a 30-mile line. Do not average them.

Does the Lectric XPress 2 have a torque sensor?+

The Cruiser page calls it XPerience Switch: torque or cadence, changed in the settings. EBR’s range loop used the torque setting in Tour. It is not torque-only, and it is not the cadence-only XP Lite.

How much does a Lectric XPress 2 weigh?+

Lectric prints 60 pounds with the battery removed, and says that battery is 6 pounds. Electric Bike Report’s review prints 72 pounds. Those are not the same number. Payload on the Cruiser page is 330 pounds, and the rear rack line is 30.
