I stress-bought a lectric XP 2.0 to adapt to a change in living situation 3 years ago and I appreciate it. It’s heavy as fuck and doesn’t do good bike-work without its battery unless you REALLY WANT a workout, but it’s served me well for my purposes. Price at the time was a big factor, similar e-bikes were at least twice the cost (then approx $1000 USD).
I bought a similar bike (Engwe EP2 Pro) on sale for $700 and, yeah, it’s a shitty bike.
It’s an OK budget ebike, but if you can, save up and buy yourself a quality ebike or use a good conversion kit on an already good bicycle.
That said, that Lectric One is looking kinda good, we’ll have to see what the real reviews say once actual people get to ride it for an extended period of time.
Biggest thing for me was the fat tires for winter and it being foldable for taking on the local train system. Really have no complaints other than if the battery runs out (which it thankfully never has for me on a trip) you’re basically left with a brick. But I suppose that’s the case for any motorized vehicle that runs out of its power source.

Nah, some handle a lot better.
