E-Bike Brake Updates

Lectric eBikes is Offering an Upgraded Brake Kit for the 3.0 For Free

— May 18, 2023 — Autos
Lectric eBikes, the best-selling electric bike brand in the United States, is further enhancing the value of its best-selling Lectric XP 3.0 foldable bike with upgraded brakes. Customers who previously purchased the Lectric XP 3.0 can reach out to the brand to receive the upgraded brake kit at no extra cost. The brake kit shifts the bike from its standard mechanical disc brakes to a far more efficient set of hydraulic disc brakes.

The installation may be more complex than most setups from Lectric, as the brand prides itself on shipping bikes fully assembled and ready-to-ride, but it is a manageable process for users who are ready to take the time to do it properly. Additionally, the fact that most Lectric accessories offer a toolless installation process means riders will have more time to spare to install the hydraulic disc brakes.

Going forward, customers who order the Lectric XP 3.0 will receive hydraulic brakes pre-installed as the company moves to more reliable, safer brake configurations.
