Lectric XP LITE
If you've been on YouTube in the last couple of days, possibly you've seen a review of the subject bike. This is a folding, 48v, 500w 20 mph bike that weighs about 45 pounds and is selling for $799. It seems like it would adapt to commuter and light trail use well. As happens frequently when I see a new model, I reach for the CC and must have it. Then I realize that I ride very little terrain that it's designed for and already have a similar "more MTB-style" bike. Still, it looks excellent for the price.

Already posted in the Folding Electric Bike thread two days ago.
Price is great, but it's a single speed; probably not ideal for even light trail use with elevation change, flat, hardpack trail along a river maybe.
I'd imagine it is ideal for those who are just getting their first ebike and returning to cycling and don't want to mess with gears.

My son just purchased the "regular" version, so it'll be interesting to see how it does over a period of time. He's very impressed so far (as is my other son with a Rad).

I'm torn between getting the XP Lite, Origami Bull (totally ACOUSTIC! ), and a completely different ride altogether,...another electric commuter scooter - the Niu KQi3 Max. Ugh,...
