Why You SHOULDN'T Buy The Principe Lectro!

[zachy]

The only reason I say you shouldn't buy one? Because you can get them duped for free

[Sky_Light12]

even though this bikes feature " speed boost " , K.E.R.S ( kinetic energy recovery system ) , this bike still average performing motorcycle . the acceleration and top speed is similar to nemesis but nothing worth to note . using KERS will only able to keep up with akuma in short of time ( with only couple of seconds before KERS used up ) . the handling feels heavier than similar motorcycles . unlike nemesis , lectro cannot wheelie at top speed

 

so it's worthless to buy a bike feature KERS but actually slower than akuma ( tagged $9k ) without KERS , even if it's most expensive bike in game ( tagged $750k )

in fact , you cannot use KERS on races ( except improptu race ) . proably because double boost ( a boost pickup and KERS )

 

but still determined by lectro buyer's taste

Wether it's a good bike or not, I'm sure we can all agree it's the most overpriced vehicle in the game.

 

 

That would be the Adder....

If you want the best bike in the game stay away from it.

If you enjoy riding bikes in the game (or colllecting them) like i do then it is a nice addition to your garage.

Yes. For performance I'll ride my Akuma, but the Lectro is easily my favorite free roam cruising bike. It's perfect to cruise

[fw3]

My 8¢ cents on the matter:

1. BATI 801
2. the in-game chicks dig players who ride the BATI. Fact.
3. Every bike released as a special/DLC has been a big dud for me.
4. Stunting is everything when it comes to bikes. If you don't stunt on your bike, get a Bagger and move aside.
5. KERS or NOS or whatever... give me a break.
6. Bati still dominates over all bikes in races.
7. Between the Bati and the Ruffian, you need no other bike ever (unless Off Road racing, then get a dirty Sanchez).
8. I forget what 8 was for. (Google the reference on this if you don't get it).

It depends what are you looking for, many things are expensive in this game. example: 70k chrome rim. I spent 200k just to paint and mod the Blazer(ATV)

 

Lectro is the only vehicle that has KERS in the game and nice to use in current gen city traffic.

 

I have one and never regret... Look at it isn't it look nice... If yes, that nice looking is enough for me

I will own one of these by the end of the weekend. I had a proper play with one last night and have a better handle on it as a stunt bike. For totally flat approaches where you need to bump over something, it's useless. Literally, there is no point trying. However, if you have the slightest bump before the stunt (such as a kerb or a bump in a patch of grass) then you can lift the front wheel as a result, meaning you can do proper bumping type stunts, using barriers to launch from.

 

I know a lot of people won't care about that, but for anyone who does enjoy stunting then you probably know what I'm saying, so it should be useful to know.

 

If there is a slight bump then the KERS really makes it work well. I need to play with it more, but I now intend to have one in order to do so. Can't wait to upgrade all the things!

Monkey.

 

Do the double clutch speed boost trick then pop the wheelie. That gives it the most up... so much so that you will fall back on your ass if you pull back too hard.

 

Of you get that timing right... Then go at what ever you want to jump.. Then hit the KERs right at the moment you hit the object you are ramping off.

2. the in-game chicks dig players who ride the BATI. Fact.

 

 

 

I doubt that... The Lectro Vibrates like crazy.

That would be the Adder....

REBEL Technical....

Well, if we're including non-storable vehicles with storable counterparts, then it would be the Insurgent Pickup, that is the most expensive.

Vehicle in general, however, would be an air vehicle, the Hydra.

Zodape got this right.

It is the most ovepriced vec in the game (not the most expensive).

Yet I got it with full modes.

Does it worth all that money?

No way but I am a biker collector in the game so I dont really care...

[TheNarrative]

The sight of $750k made me run for the hills! Not that I couldn't afford it

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

 

 

 

 

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

 

If so, that's another garage space freed!

 

Wow.

[bloatedsack]

The more I ride the Lectro, the more convinced I become that it's possibly one of the most fun vehicles to drive.

 

People are entirely too focussed on certain aspects of the game. Despite it's cost, you'll never win a race in it. However, until you've blasted through the city dodging traffic and boosting out of corners you just can't apprechiate what it does.

 

Maybe it's too expensive, but then that really does just drive the "exclusivity" thing. Sorry if you're having a difficult time dealing with that, but it's not a bad thing that there are haves and have nots in a video game's make believe world.

[zachy]

how can you not love its real life counterpart?

[psymin]

how can you not love its real life counterpart?

With some of this

 

*squirt*

I love naked Italian bikes.

[.Vooodu.]

 

 

If I didn't give them $80K for the superior Hakochu, no way I was giving them $750K for a motorcycle.

I've done okay without Nitrous for TWO years....why would I need the crap now unless it was detrimental if you didn't own your own to pass a Heist.

I couldn't see giving them $600K for the Coquette Classic and I actually love that car.

 

 

Broke player problems id say. I waste 600k in paint jobs weekly. And sometimes i end up with the same paint job i started with.

 

 

Nice "I'm rich" brag.

 

 

Im not bragging Im just not whining about the price.

 

 

 

This is merely a point of perception really.

Whining about giving them $750K for a motorcycle, damn right. In my opinion its overpriced for something with a feature that can only be used in Heists (where you cant afford to die in a motorcycle crash in the first place).

 

And yes you kinda were bragging about having money to burn to a person who can actually buy (30)-$750K Lectros.

[Lafbael]

I'm not sure if I should buy this or not. I only have a mere 3.2 million and I already have 3 motorcycles. Those motorcycles are the Sovereign, Double T and the Ruffian. I mean I have nothing else to buy and I don't want the Insurgent.

[junkh47738]

I agree. It's ridiculously overpriced.

[Whisky Tango Foxtrot]

This piece of sh!t just isn't worth 750k

 

They really didn't need to add another zero at all. 100k would have made it alright. More than that? You have to be mental to even consider purchasing it and fully modding it apart from BP tires.

 

Also, don't forget that this bike ruined many finales. People have to resort to stealing police choppers and fetching PVs, that's how useless this bike is lol

You're incorrect.

 

It is a feature that cannot be used in races*; it can be used in freeroam and missions however.

 

* - which is silly, a Lectro with KERS will still get stomped on any track that's got long straights or easy curves.

Edited March 27, 2015 by bloatedsack

[phattoni]

Lafbael I say buy it, if you don't want anything else in game at the moment. Especially like everyone's saying it's just a joy to zoom around town with the KERS boost. If you like collecting bike's or stunting it's a "must have" so to speak. My 2 cents on it, since I've had the Lectro a few day's after the heist update.

[Lafbael]

^Alright I'll just buy it tomorrow as Gta servers are acting up again for me. I might also sell one of my other bikes for the lectro as I have way too many bikes.

[Smooth Longsack]

Honestly, there is nothing that can catch the lectro around the block.

[999bats]

looks great but I immediately regretted buying it.
my akuma and hakuchou still tear it up any day, all it has going for it is looks

[htrgefdsa]

everyone with common sense would know not to buy this trash

[Smooth Longsack]

An amazingly diverse and stupid crowd plays this game. How is it trash when it has the highest acceleration (on wheels) in the game? How can you not figure out a way to use this or how friggin awesome are you that acceleration is a non-issue?
