The $999 Lectric XP4 has hydraulic disc brakes. While uncommon at that price point, it's not unusual to see them on $1500-2k e-bikes.

- BoorishBears 1y agoMy ebike has hydraulic disk brakes and a CVT, e bikes have moved forward from the bike-shaped-object era
- bluescrn 1y agoThey've moved on from the 'can maintain/repair it with basic tools' era. Soon they'll be dependent on the cloud and subscription services... (Kind of amazed that wireless derailleurs became a thing. Replacing a simple mechanical device with complex tech requiring two batteries)
- dreamcompiler 1y agoEnviolo CVT? I'm curious about how you like it. I rented a Blue Bike in Boston with a CVT and loved it.
- BoorishBears 1y agoI've liked it, not being serviceable is a drawback but it's been issue-free for 3 years now I wish I had the automatic shifting module for SF's hills, but it's a nice to have that probably isn't as useful elsewhere
- slaw 1y agoI bought complete hydraulic disc brake set for $40 on Ali Express. Mechanical brakes cannot be much cheaper.
