I remember the day I got behind the wheel of my first car, feeling like I could go anywhere. I could taste freedom. Fast forward 20 years and I’d be happy if I never saw a car again.
My SUV is a money pit of gas and maintenance, a keeper of every cracker crumb known to man, and the site of my most frequent wrestling matches with my kids.
The fix I didn’t know I needed? An eBike. But not just any eBike—Lectric’s XPedition 2.0 Cargo eBike, aka one that an every woman like me can use to check errands off my to-do list in a legitimately fun way, carry my kids around in, be a little gentler on the planet, and keep my body moving.
The TL;DR: I’m having the time of my life.
1. Light outings & errands got quicker
My kids are three and five, both in five-point-harness car seats. Parents out there know the shuffle of loading them into the car, convincing them to put their bums in their seats, and waltzing back and forth to buckle them in…only to do it in reverse five minutes later when we get to the grocery store. It makes me want to take a nap.
When it comes to loading my girls onto our Lectric XPedition 2.0 Cargo eBike, not-a-one curls up in the fetal position refusing to be put in. Huh! Is it magic or is it the fresh wind in their hair? Everyone’s game to take a spin on two wheels 100% of the time, and we have the luxury of using the bike lane instead of waiting in traffic, it’s way faster. Our Lectric battery can take us up to 170 miles, so we’re able to go long stretches between recharges.
2. The fun starts immediately, and we love fun
Our family doesn’t just reserve our fun for playgrounds, which is another reason we love our XPedition 2.0 Cargo eBike. Riding our bike to the park is so much more fun than driving.
My kids call it our “bicycle built for three,” but since the rear rack holds up to 450 pounds, we could theoretically load six of ‘em back there. (Strictly theoretically.) The rear AND front hydraulic disc brakes make for a safe and smooth stop, even when loaded up with groceries and pool gear and small humans and such. The upgraded kickstand affords extra stability when loading and unloading.
3. We ❤️ our Earth!
It’s true we’re all carbon units walking around the planet, and none of us are perfect. But any small decision our family can make to soften our impact feels right. Our Lectric eBike affords us the opportunity to drive less, and each time I throw my leg over the down tube feels like a win.
Electric bikes are almost 70 times more environmentally efficient than gas cars* and more than 20 times more efficient than electric cars. Our family car has a time and place, but bopping around day-to-day isn’t it.
4. Hills are no longer an uphill battle
We live at the tippy-top of a series of steep hills, which, as you can imagine, can make cycling up with two kids in tow nearly impossible. But! With the help of my new bestie, AKA the 1310W Motor, I’m provided smooth assistance when I need it. There are five levels of pedal assist and an upgraded torque sensor so I can use muscle to do some of the work, but also get us home in one piece.
Life is WAY better with my Lectric Xpedition Cargo eBike
Getting a Lectric XPedition 2.0 Cargo eBike has shifted my lifestyle for the better. I’m having noticeably more fun. I’m spending less on gas. I’m more patient with my kids as we zip around in the sunshine. My body feels awesome.
