Our review

Comparative analysis · updated October 2, 2026

1,000 W and two 18.6-mile batteries for $600 less than the X Ultra S, which has the same power and range. It pays off on steep, repeated climbs and heavy loads; for lighter needs, the X Carbon costs $400 less.

  • SGS-certified carbon fiber frame, at 5.5 lb with a battery
  • Free shipping from a US warehouse, in about 8 business days

Cons

  • $400 more than the X Carbon, the 800 W model that also ships with two batteries

Who it's for

Buyers who want the most power and range per dollar: 1,000 W and 37.3 miles in the box, without the S series premium.

Who it's not for

Buyers who stay on flat ground or carry light loads: the extra power goes unused, and the X Carbon costs $400 less.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the X Ultra and the X Ultra S?

Neither range nor weight: both ship with two 18.6-mile batteries (37.3 miles combined) and weigh about the same, 5.5 lb against 5.6 lb with a battery.

For about $600 more (prices checked Oct 1, 2026), the X Ultra S adds the newer HyperIntuition AI and a 65 W wall charger. The X Ultra remains the better value of the two.

Do I really need 1,000 W?

On flat ground, no: even the 800 W models are only partly used there.

The difference shows on steep grades with a loaded pack, where the extra torque delays the point at which assist maxes out. If that is not your situation, the X Carbon is enough.
