Can the Lectric XPedition2 Dual-Battery climb hills?
Highest steady speed on each grade, motor at its 1,310 W peak, limited by its 85 Nm of torque. A 10% grade is a steep city street; 15% is a hard hill.
| Rider | 5% grade | 10% grade | 15% grade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 180 lb, throttle | 21 mph | 14 mph | 10 mph |
| 180 lb, pedaling | 22 mph | 15 mph | 11 mph |
| 250 lb, throttle | 19 mph | 11 mph | 8 mph |
| 250 lb, pedaling | 20 mph | 12 mph | 9 mph |
Steepest grade at 8 mph (180 lb): 20% on throttle, 22% with moderate pedaling. Peak power lasts for short hills; on long climbs motors fall back toward their 750 W nominal rating.
