• Lectric XPeak is 6.8 kg lighter.
• Lectric XPedition is 5 km further on range.

The Lectric XPeak leads on 2 of these, the Lectric XPedition on 1. Neither sweeps it, so the choice comes down to which of those you actually use.

What each one costs to own

Over 5 years the Lectric XPeak costs about 279 EUR less to own, once purchase, charging, servicing, a battery replacement where one is due, and resale are all counted.

That figure moves mostly on the battery. The Lectric XPeak covers about 35,840 km before its pack is due for replacement; the Lectric XPedition, about 35,840 km. Ride less than that and the replacement never enters the sum.

Which one to buy

Verdict

On the measured axes the Lectric XPeak is the better buy, and the Lectric XPedition needs a reason of its own: a colour, a frame, a shop you trust, a price that moves. None of those are in our numbers, and all of them are legitimate.

Range here is an estimate under one reference ride, not a measurement. Yours will differ with terrain, weight, tyres and weather, which is what the range calculator is for.
