I've spent much of my adult life getting around on two wheels. From mopeds in Vietnam to motorcycles, traditional bicycles, eBikes, and mountain bikes, I've tried just about every way to get from point A to point B without a car.

And while I've loved them all for different reasons, the reality is: motorcycles can make your loved ones uneasy, traditional bicycles aren't always practical, and eBikes can be expensive and difficult to transport.

Enter the Lectric XP4. After putting it to the test on my daily commute, tackling steep hills, and taking it out for family rides, I'm convinced it might be the most fun I've ever had on two wheels. And at $1,299 for the 750W model I tested, it's surprisingly affordable, too (especially now that Lectric's Black Friday sale is live, with up to $532 worth of free accessories included with the XP4 750 through November 30). Here's why I'm sold.
