Why You SHOULDN'T Buy The Principe Lectro!

[Skull2knight]

My friend bought the Principe Lectro, you know that bike with the KERS if you speed up and increase the bar to use it. But there's a drawback, here's some.

 

1. The Price

The price of this bike is just overpriced. 750,000 that's like the three Quarters of a million. Compare that to the Akuma or the Bati, those are extremely cheap, even if it was fast, it would still be overpriced. Also, you'll have to complete the FINAL heist just for it.

2. Performance.

 

The performance is just terrible stock, the bike is slower than the two fastest bikes, the Bati and the Akuma. So you shouldn't use it in races. The KERS is not really helpful, only good at launching. When upgraded it's like the Coil, it can't keep up but it's fast. They even decided to restrict the KERS in racing.

 

3. Modifications

The modifications of this thing are just little, not a lot. Only a few paint upgrades and engine upgrades, but no custom upgrades like the exhaust. It's not worth your time.

 

That's why I think you SHOULDN'T buy the Principe Lectro!

Well given that it's essentially the Nemesis with added KERS, you've pretty much missed the point of the bike.

 

Try throwing it up a vertical surface with the KERS boost and you'll realise it's the ultimate off-road bike.. I'm even tempted to sell my Nemesis now because of it..

[Retired Mafia]

i only agree with half of point one. it's a good looking bike, it has KERS, and it lets you test it out in the finale heist so you know what you're buying.

for 100K i would buy it but the price is just too high since i only drive 3 out of my 30 cars. this thing would just be sitting in the garage.

 

but i mean you know what you're buying cause you can test it out in the heist. this is how i figured out this thing doesn't wheelie

[Nipper]

What's with the KERS anyway, who needs or wants this.

 

KERS made F1 boring. Lesson learned I thought.

At least selling the Nemesis isn't a stab to the dick now considering that you can buy them.

I got mine yesterday not bad (I got it free)

When the f- did that happen? Was that part of the heist update?

 

If so, that's another garage space freed!

[EEDDDWWWAARRRD]

I do agree that it's massively overpriced, making it hard to justify buying, but top speed does not define a bike's quality.

It still has arguably the best handling and turning of all the bikes, and KERS makes it the quickest acceleration.

That's particularly useful for stunts where your start distance is limited. I've tested my jumps against someone in a Bati, with me starting from a shorter distance. We both reached the same height before blowing the landing and killing ourselves. I think the boost also negates any drag from going up a steep surface, giving it a slight advantage when hitting ramps.

Yep. For 12k.

Sweet. Farewell Nemesis then... your days of being slightly rare are over!

 

Long live the Lectro!

Yes. we know. There are about 17 threads on the same bike. Over and over. The same thing.

 

You've missed off that the KERS is not avalable in races. Which is the single reason it's no use. If it has a boot during races, it would make it the best race bike for short races.

 

Plus, it is not NOS. NOS is a nitro injection system. KERS is a electric boost, battries and not nitro.

[JoeFury1997]

I put a similar thread on the rockstar support forums and also emailed them with the improvements needed. I think that's what we need to do to get their attention not just on these forums but emailing them. No one mentions that you can email them directly.

[Furry_Monkey]

Lol. Do you guys think that these are bugs?

 

In that case I'm gonna email them and let them know about the bug that stops the Akuma pulling wheelies at speed, or the bug where my Ruffian isn't as fast as an Akuma. Either bug being fixed would make me very happy.

OP sound like a persons who never bought one... Telling people to not buy it.

 

 

I bought one.. I love it. Its the most addictive ride in this game for me.

[Brutal Trout]

I'm buying it as soon as I have it unlocked for my 2nd character.

[Fox2Quick]

Stopped reading at NOS. If you can't put in the effort to even know what you're talking about, there's no way in hell you've put in sufficient enough effort to properly use it and learn its quirks.

I wonder if pulling wheelies at high speeds is the actual bug. Because wheelie should not make bikes go faster at higher speeds,

[StangOne50]

I bought it. I dig it.

[TheGoodSgtScooter]

It's not NOS. For f*cks sake know what you're ragging on.

[Daequil]

Alright, I listened to your advice. It's great fun.

OP has given rational reasons for his choice. You haven't.

 

What makes it addictive? What makes you love it?

 

Edit: people saying NOS might be just doing it to wind you up.

Source coming soon.

 

It's not like 3/4 of a million, it IS 3/4 of a million.

 

So, people shouldn't buy it because you have to beat the last heists finale to unlock it? Are you eight years old?

 

I can't speak for the performance or modifications.

 

It's not your business telling other people what to do. It's just a video game, kid.

Ugh... His reason don't matter.. He does not own one. So..

 

 

See.. I bought the thing. I OWN it. Its fully modded. I have nothing negative say about it besides it silly that the Kers does not work in races.

 

I can't stop riding the thing because its so damn fast. The addiction comes to learning how to keep boosting constantly. Once you pop, you just can't stop.

 

So unless you own one OR go riding with it for a few hours. You won't know how fun it actually is.

And it's pretty good at stunting. That boost changes the game up.

[JimmyDemonni]

Lol it's fun to drive, not every car you own has to be the best

[Shadowfennekin]

The Lectro is awesome. I like it more than all the other bikes combined.(Except Sovereign)

And its even funnier if you wipe doing a Boosted Stunting Jump and your character goes into hyper rag doll mode. I end up in some wierd places..lol

Could you show some examples of it stunting, because in my experience it will not bump off anything at high speed, which just leaves ramps and natural inclines (hills etc.).

 

I only ask because I've hunted high and low on Youtube for videos of stunting with this bike, and have only seen regular stunts. The closest I've seen to proper stunting is the jump up to the roof of Rockford Plaza, but even there you can see it's a flukey bounce of the kerb that allows the required wheelie.

Its more of a low speed stunting bike IMO. Well, it starts at lower speeds but the kers max it out at the last second.

 

You start of slower,,, Double Clutch and pop a wheelie.( Which really props it up) . Then hit the KER boost as you hit the launch.
