I haven’t ridden the Lectric XPedition2. 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 XPedition2 is a lot of cargo bike for $1,399. For $1,399 (as of Oct 23, 2026) Lectric lists a 750W motor with a torque sensor, a 624 Wh battery with room for a second one, a 300 lb rear rack, a 450 lb payload and hydraulic brakes. The trade-offs on paper: it weighs 65 lb without batteries, the 60 mile range is for one battery under good conditions, and 20 in wheels are small for a long cargo frame.

Pros and cons (from the specs)
Pros
- Torque sensor and 85 Nm at $1,399
- 300 lb rack with mounting points for child seats
- Dual-battery option
- Hydraulic brakes and turn signals
- Fits riders 4’11” to 6’5”
Cons
- 65 lb without batteries, about 74 lb with one (my math)
- 20 in wheels on a long frame
- Second battery costs extra
- 50mm fork is short travel
What the specs mean on the road
750W, 1310W peak, 85 Nm. More torque than Lectric’s 500W models. That’s what you want when the rack carries a kid or a load of groceries up a hill.
Torque sensor with PWR+. Assist follows how hard you pedal and is capped per level. That should feel smoother with a passenger than an on/off cadence sensor.
48V 13Ah, 624 Wh, up to 60 miles. Hauling weight cuts range. The second battery mount is the real range answer; Lectric quotes up to 170 miles with two.
300 lb rack, 450 lb payload. The rack rating and the total payload are different numbers. Rider plus cargo plus passenger has to stay under 450 lb.
Hydraulic brakes, 180mm rotors. Heavier loads need more braking. Hydraulics give strong stops with less hand force, though 180mm rotors are standard size rather than oversized.
65 lb plus 9 lb per battery. Lectric says the stem folds and the wheel, pedals and seatpost come off for transport. It’s still a long bike to move.
How it compares to bikes I’ve reviewed
- Rad RadWagon 4: a long-tail cargo bike I tested with a 672 Wh battery and 22 x 3 in tires.
- Engwe E26: a 76 lb bike I tested, a reference for how heavy a bike this size is to move around.
Who it’s for
- Parents who want to carry a child on a budget
- Riders who haul groceries or gear
- Riders who want the option of two batteries
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who needs to carry the bike up stairs
- Riders who want big wheels for rough roads
Price
$1,399 for the single-battery XPedition2 on Lectric’s site as of Oct 23, 2026. The page listed a compare-at price of $1,813.
