Greetings All,
New to the forum, and new to electric bikes as well. I have been researching eBikes for almost a year now and am now ready to take the plunge but have yet to decide on which one I want to buy. I keep coming back to the Lectric XP 3.0, but have recently discovered the Jasion X-Hunter as well and was hoping to gain a little insight from owners of these two eBikes in an effort to assist me in making my decision.
A little background on myself first I am sure would be beneficial, so...I am in my early 60's, I'm 6'4" tall and presently weigh in at 270 lbs. I have had a couple lumbar surgeries as well and am looking to both lose weight and have some fun at the same time and thought an eBike would be a good option to get me outdoors more. I live in a rural area but I am pretty close to metro areas where there are many groomed trails, which is likely where I will be taking the bike for the most part. What I like about this style of an eBike is that the handlebars are adjustable. Having had back surgery I'd prefer sitting more upright as opposed to needing to bend forward to reach the handlebars of say a mountain bike style. Were it not for this reason I would probably consider something like the Lectric XPeak due to the larger diameter tires but as I understand it the handlebars are not adjustable.
OK, so all that being said on to my thoughts / concerns...
The Lectric XP 3.0 is a bit more costly but I have heard that their reliability is pretty good, as is their customer service, which is based on a couple people I have spoken with who have experience dealing with them. Also something to consider is the availability of replacement parts. This to me would be worth the added cost were I to experience issues in the future so I am looking for a company that plans to be around a while.
The Jasion Hunter on the other hand appeals to me more for a few reasons, those being the rear suspension, the extra weight capacity. and of course the lower price, but I have not heard anything regarding the reliability factor of these bike nor their customer service.
Spring is right around the corner and am eager to make a purchase and get out there, but thought I would come here seeking a little more advice from those with some firsthand knowledge first. I am open to other suggestions as well, so any and all input is welcome.
I look forward to any replies, and TY in advance.
