Having tested a number of e-trikes, including the best electric trikes on the market, I can say that I have rarely been as impressed by any model as I was with the XP Trike2. It simply felt safe, sturdy, comfortable, and well put together. I also found it easy to operate and capable as both a utility device and a method of experiencing enjoyment or exercise.
I’m left with a similar sense that I had after recently reviewing the Lectric XP4 folding e-bike. It’s truly hard to wrap my head around the XP Trike2’s excellent ride experience while at the same time considering its remarkably affordable price; it’s further evidence of how far Lectric has evolved as a brand.
Of course, the Trike2 is not a perfect machine, but its few downsides are reasonable trade-offs for its low price and overall value. Most riders likely won’t mind the slightly shorter range in high power levels that comes as a result of its smaller battery (when compared with the previous model).
Additionally, the trike’s weight and relatively complex folding process may make it relatively tough to move or lift when stationary. However, while I could be wrong, I would hazard a guess that those making use of the folding frame might be in the minority.
Otherwise, the XP Trike2 performed extremely well, with average to above-average performance in all areas of our testing. It offers a wide range of speed and power levels, making it practical and approachable for both new and experienced riders. It demonstrated respectable, usable range and climbing power. Finally, its brakes felt powerful and well-balanced in relation to the trike’s speeds and weight capacity.
I appreciated all of the trike’s upgrades, especially ride-quality-enhancing items like the display, rubberized control pad, turn signals, and suspension. I must also give Lectric kudos for the Trike2’s appearance; it’s a sleeker, more appealing design than the original model, and it’s also offered in more color options.
My experience makes it easy to recommend the XP Trike2 for those seeking a safe, high-quality, budget-friendly, and fun-to-use electric tricycle. Whether you’re disabled, aging, or simply prefer the added stability of three wheels to two, Lectric’s trike is well-suited for cruising, running errands, and otherwise getting out and about.
One final note: the brand is slated to release an upgraded model of the XP Trike2 in the near future. This e-trike will have a more powerful 750W motor, a torque sensor, a larger battery, and a much wider variety of colors. We look forward to receiving, testing, and reviewing this model; stay tuned for updates!
