Looking down at the odometer, I felt it’s probably time to create an actual thread on this I will update every thousand miles.

I bought my Lifan Xpect thinking I’d be lucky to get a season of riding out of it before it fell apart.

Little did I know it would be an incredibly reliable bike.

So, I’m curious just how far an Xpect can go without any real problems, straight from the factory without ANY modifications. I have stock tires and tubes, stock chain and sprockets. Stock everything. I ride about 50/50 dirt and tar I guess.

I will update this thread at every thousand miles to report, or in the case of a breakdown (not including tires/tubes), I’ll make a special update. I’ll mention tires and tubes when they happen.

Note: I did some damage to the bike myself here and there which can all be found on this forum and can’t be attributed to Lifan’s quality.

Side thought. I think I know how to say Lifan. I think since it’s Chinese, it should probably be said like “Lee Fon”. Maybe the name of the guy that started the company??


Here we go!
