Lectro vs Vindicator

Both are sh*t in speed. Both's KERS can't run from speed-bender cops. Both are overpriced.

 

Normal & normal premium bikes FTW.

The Lectro is the fastest bike in the game, it just does not have the highest top speed.
orly ? i could swore lectro is a fairly average performing bike , resemble nemesis . the KERS can keep up akuma , albeit shortly

the handling is not very notable and it feels heavier than nemesis

The kers boost alone makes the bike. I can have about a 10 foot runway and double clutch Kers boost off a dumpster and go flying.

 

Thats the speed im talking about.

 

Sure a bati will blow it away in a race. But try catching a Lectro while it boosts around a block, and it won't keep up.

 

Its the stop and go.. that makes it fast. Not the over all speed.

People don't understand it's a break-boost bike which means it can out run anything in the city.

The akuma is no match for any Kers bike in the city, it's the urban commando of bikes.

 

 

Lol. No. KERS does not make a bike faster. It briefly increases its acceleration, but you need to brake a LOT to fill it up, which loses you more ground than you gain when you use it.

 

Please don't get sucked into the idiotic belief that a special effect means you're going really fast. I overtook my mate on his Lectro, whilst he was using KERS, by pulling a wheelie on my Hakuchou. The Lectro and Vindicator are decent bikes, but they are below the range of fastest bikes in the game and are not able to compete in that department. Like them for any reason you like, but do not be fooled into thinking there is anything fast about them.

Being fast.. is about going from point A to point B.

Meaning in combat.. I might need to be on one side of the street..stop...shoot... then the other side.. stop.. shoot.

 

 

No other bike can do this as fast as the Lectro can. Its not just a special effect, the boost simply BOOSTS.

 

Players have this concept of bikes need to GO FAST IN ONE LINE to get away. But in combat, you simply need to be out of line of sight. I don't need to be across the city, i only need to be around the corner or around cover faster then everything else.

 

Nothing is gonna catch me if i play bob and weave around the block. Does not matter what land vehicle they use. Il stop, just to let people catch up just so i can boost away again.

 

So basically.. the Lectro is good for stop and go combat and the insurance also adds a double sting.

Like I said it's still the urban commando, you're thinking street racing on roads to side streets. I'm saying it's still the fastest bike in the game, fast=/= overall speed. Urban racing maps are often overlooked and people think about street racing but the difference is there are very few roads you actually race on.

I'm not talking about street racing. I am talking about all the top-tier bikes, which I know very, very well. Believe me.

 

It's a low top-speed bike in comparison to all the top-level bikes, and the KERS does not compensate for that. Seriously, I could razz all over someone on a Lectro by riding my Ruffian, in any realistic scenario.

Not really a good racing bike. It handles like sh*t at high speeds and does not even have a high top speed.

 

 

But to me BEST is not about racing unless we are talking about the best bikes for racing.

 

 

That why i said combat. Because stop and go is what combat on a bike is all about. Stop.. shoot.. KER boost. Maybe the most addictive thing when it comes to bike combat.

 

And bike combat... is not something i recommend. As it seriously becomes to much fun and make you not want to use anything besides bikes,

 

Thats what happened to me a while ago ... I can't stop now.

Vindicator. Fun cruiser, feels a little faster than the Thrust and that KERS is a bonus.

 

Lectro is like a Nemesis with KERS, and the Nemesis has always been sh*t, as is the Lectro.

This is the answer to the OP's inquiry.

 

Bought & sold the Lectro the same day. Still not as fun, smooth, or fast as the Bati or the Ruffian.

 

Just bought the Vindicator and really like it. Wish there were actual upgrade options besides carbon parts. Sorry, saddle bags don't look right.

However, it's like all the other cruising bikes in performance, braking, and handling, which is to say that you need a lot of room to stop or turn.

 

I'll likely sell the Vindicator, just because it's not what I'm looking for (I'm waiting for a Bati-killer... a racing bike worthy of a million GTA$).

 

Plus, neither bike stunts very well at all. Despite how much I like the Vindicator, this gets a little frustrating after a while:

Other than still owning the Lectro (only just though), I couldn't agree more.

I decided to buy one of them because of 50% discount!

Still undecided! Please help! I loved how Lectro felt light but most of u say that vindicator is better!

What do you want it for?

 

Asking which is better is not a real question. It's like asking "Is a tennis racket better than a football?" It depends on the sport you want to play. Neither, if you want to go hang-gliding.

I already have Akuma,Bati and hakuchou and i want to buy a kers bike!! I hate bikes like Thrust but I'm also worried about the performance of Lectro compared to Vindicator

Okay, in that case I'd say you're much more suited to the Lectro. It handles really nice and can corner well, but is probably around the same top speed and acceleration as a Nemesis. If it wasn't for the KERS then I'd never recommend one, but I think you'd definitely be more suited to that than a Vindicator.

 

Why not try them both in single player? Races will give you an idea of the bikes at their core, but you won't get to try out KERS, since you can't use it in races. It's a lot of money to shell out on something you may not like. Unless you've got tons of cash then try them in SP first.

Lectro for street racing though the Bati, Akuma Habchouchi (however its spelled) and Lectro are all on par with each other and depends on the actual driver and driving style for maximizeing. The lectro is good on corners.


Vindicator for free roam cruising (but if handled well then racing is good as well but the thrust may beat it) and it is best for stright shots, drag raceing or going in a stright line

Have bati for races, ruffian for stunts, enduro for hill/trail riding, and lectro for extreme high jumps!

Will test vindicator tonite to see what it's good at!

From my experience racing the answer is Bati... and at only $15,000 you're saving a hell of a lot of money by getting one.

Bought one, it's funny as hell. I am impressed by the performance, even without kers.

and which one??

Vindicator is nice bike! Probably the best cruiser and very forgiving! Much like the Vader if u crash into stuff less chance u fall off! This is the only other bike besides the lectro that also easily lands extreme high jumps without the suspension buckling, in my opinion. ..
