Lectric's XP4 750 Limited Editions, opened 2 November 2026, are District, Jubilee, and Ridge at $1,399. That is $100 over the $1,299 XP4 750. The black step-thru cart strikes through $2,130. The accessory rows on that cart add to $731, and $1,399 plus $731 is $2,130. The motor card is still 750 watts, a 1,310-watt peak, and 48 volts times 17.5 amp-hours, which is 840 watt-hours. The product chip says up to 85 miles. A series tile says 80. Eighty-five on 840 is 9.9 watt-hours a mile. Outdoor Gear Lab's loop on the 750 was 36.7 miles. This desk did not ride the limited editions.
