I haven’t ridden the Lectric XP Trike2. This profile is built from Lectric’s official product page, checked on Oct 23, 2026. Every number below comes from that page unless I mark it as my own math, and I explain what each one means for your rides.
Should you buy one?
On paper, the XP Trike2 is built for riders who want three wheels, a low step and a speed cap, not speed. For $1,499 (as of Oct 23, 2026) Lectric lists a 500W motor, a 624 Wh battery, hydraulic brakes with parking brakes front and rear, a 13.5 in standover and a 415 lb payload, and the whole trike folds. The trade-offs on paper: it weighs 79 lb without the battery, tops out at 14 mph, and uses a cadence sensor on this version. Lectric also sells a 750W long-range version with a torque sensor, which I haven’t covered here.

What the specs mean on the road
500W, 1092W peak, 65 Nm. The 500W rating is continuous and the peak is the short burst for starts. 65 Nm is moderate torque for a trike this heavy, so plan on pedaling on long climbs.
Cadence sensor and throttle. Assist comes on when the cranks turn, not based on how hard you push. The half-twist throttle gets you rolling from a stop, which helps on a heavy three-wheeler.
48V 13Ah, 624 Wh, up to 50 miles. At a 14 mph cap, range is less about speed and more about weight, hills and how much throttle you use. Lectric’s 50 miles is a best case.
Beginner preset. Lectric says it limits speed to 5 mph in Eco and Tour. That is a useful setting for a first ride or a nervous rider.
Hydraulic brakes with parking brakes. Hydraulics take less hand force. The parking brakes keep the trike from rolling while you load the baskets or get on.
13.5 in standover, 4’10” to 6’2”. A very low step for riders with stiff hips or knees. Lectric’s marketing copy elsewhere says 13.8 in; the size guide says 13.5 in.
Differential axle. A differential lets the rear wheels turn at different speeds in corners. That matters on a trike, which you steer rather than lean.
79 lb plus a 7 lb battery. Folding helps with storage, but it’s heavy to lift into a vehicle.
How it compares to bikes I’ve reviewed
- Kingbull Literider: a folding step-through I tested with a cadence sensor and hydraulic brakes. It’s a two-wheeler, so it leans and goes faster.
- Velotric T1 ST: a 36 lb step-through I tested. The XP Trike2 is more than twice that weight without its battery.
Who it’s for
- Riders who want three wheels for balance
- Errand riders who carry groceries in baskets
- Riders who want a slow, low-step machine
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who wants to ride faster than 14 mph
- Anyone who needs to lift the bike alone
Price
$1,499 for the 500W XP Trike2 on Lectric’s site as of Oct 23, 2026. The page listed a compare-at price of $1,954, and Lectric’s bundles change often.
