For anyone wondering why it's taking so long to receive they ebike specifically Lectric XP this video explains the situation for ebike companies.

"Shopping for an Electric Bike? Prices are rising, wait times are getting longer, components won't be the same, and the shortage is going to get worse. We have a perfect storm creating a huge supply chain issue in the ebike industry that is creating extremely long production and delivery delays along with unavoidable price increases. With the weather becoming more ride friendly and people starting to get more comfortable going outdoors the demand for ebikes is growing at a pace the industry can't keep up with. Add in stimulus checks, less people wanting to take public transportation, and gas prices skyrocketing, the backlog for ebikes will not be going away anytime soon. My guess is that this problem will last until next spring and beyond. We are already seeing hard to get parts like brakes and tires being swapped out for different brands just to get a completed ebike out for sale. It's going to be interesting to see if the gap can be filled for parts that were mostly made by only a few brands like Shimano. Over the past few weeks, I've received multiple newsletters from most of the biggest direct to consumer brands like Aventon, Bolton Ebikes, and Juiced informing their email list subscribers that the ebike tariff exclusion has expired and they are now all being hit with the 25% import tariff increase. Hopefully the industry is lobbying loud enough to get the exclusion put back in place or the tariffs removed altogether."
