Is the Lectric XP Trike2 750 worth buying?
The XP Trike2 750 comes first in our ranking because it leaves almost nothing out. You step over a 13.5-inch frame, you sit on a saddle with a backrest, and three hydraulic brakes plus a parking brake keep 415 lb in check. Lectric pairs a 750 W motor with a 17.5 Ah battery (840 Wh) for a stated range of up to 70 miles, and the whole thing folds. At $1,699 on November 13, 2026 it costs $200 more than the standard XP Trike2, and the money goes where it counts: battery and a torque sensor.
Buy it if
- You want range to spare: 70 miles stated is the most among the folding trikes we compare
- You have not ridden in years and like the idea of a 5 mph learning mode
- You need to store it in a closet, an RV bay or the back of an SUV
Skip it if
- You ride ten flat miles a week: the standard XP Trike2 does that for $200 less
- You want wide 4-inch tires for sand or gravel: look at the Addmotor Grandtan M-340
Why pay $200 more than the standard XP Trike2?
Same frame, same brakes, same 415 lb payload. What changes is the motor (750 W instead of 500 W, with a 1,310 W peak), the battery (17.5 Ah instead of 13 Ah) and the sensor. The standard trike uses a cadence sensor: it notices that the pedals turn and switches the motor on. The 750 uses a torque sensor, which measures how hard you press. Push gently and you get a gentle nudge. That matters on a trike, where a sudden shove from the motor in a tight turn is exactly what you do not want.
The bigger battery is the other half. Lectric states up to 70 miles against 50. Real range depends on your weight, the hills and how much you use the throttle, so treat both as ceilings. Even at half the stated figure, 35 miles covers a week of errands for most people between charges. The top speed goes from 14 to 17 mph.
Is it really easy to get on and to stop?
The frame dips to 13.5 inches where you step through, about the height of two stair steps (that is the figure in Lectric's size guide; its description says 13.8). Lectric fits riders from 4'10" to 6'2". On {D} the support seat (a wide saddle with a backrest) was added to the order at no charge; on other days Lectric lists it at $69, so check your cart.
For stopping, you get hydraulic disc brakes with 180 mm rotors, which need less hand strength than cable brakes, and a parking brake that locks the trike while you load the basket. The rear axle has a differential: the two rear wheels turn at different speeds in a corner, the way a car's do. On a trike that is what keeps the inside wheel from skipping. In Eco and Tour modes Lectric lets you cap the speed at 5 mph until you feel at home.

What's in the box?
The trike, folded and assembled, with the 48 V 17.5 Ah battery, a 2 A charger, keys and the manual.
How do you set it up, and what should the first ride be?
Lectric calls it tool-free: unfold the frame, lock the latch, slide in the stem and handlebars, charge the battery. Plan your first ride in an empty parking lot. Leave the speed cap on, practice wide turns in both directions, then tight ones, and try the parking brake on a slope.
What does it really cost?
Shipping is free. The price we list, $1,699, was a sale price on November 13, 2026; Lectric's crossed-out price was $2,254. The stock 2 A charger needs 7 to 9 hours for this battery, says Lectric; the 5 A fast charger (under 4 hours) was $134 as an add-on. Lectric also sells extended warranty coverage that starts when the included year ends.
Per watt-hour of battery, that is $2.02: the figure our tie-break uses.
What do we like, and what should you know?
- Up to 70 miles per charge, says Lectric, from an 840 Wh battery certified to UL 2271
- Torque sensor: the motor follows how hard you push, so starts feel gentle
- 13.5-inch step-over and a 5 mph beginner cap in the two lowest modes
- Hydraulic disc brakes, parking brakes and a rear differential axle
- Folds to 36.5 by 38 by 26 inches and arrives assembled
The catch: It is a single-speed: no gears to shift, which is simple, but on a long hill you lean on the motor. The warranty is one year, the shortest kind in this ranking. And folding does not mean light: 79 lb without the battery, 88 lb with it. Two people lift this into an SUV, or one person with a ramp.
Where can you ride it, and how do you ride it safely?
Lectric's figure: 17 mph top speed; beginner cap of 5 mph in Eco and Tour. Federal product law (15 U.S.C. 2085) describes a low-speed electric bicycle as a two- or three-wheeled vehicle with working pedals, a motor of less than 750 watts and under 20 mph on motor power alone. Where you may ride is set by your state and city (see the PeopleForBikes summaries): check yours. This isn't legal advice.
A trike doesn't lean, so slow down before every corner. Set the parking brake before you get on or off. The CPSC says to stay present while the battery charges, use the maker's charger and wear a helmet on every ride.
