- I decided to get rid of the long giraffe neck handlebar stem that comes on the lectricXP and installed BMX handlebars.

Great minds think alike, I made the exact same mistake. Loose the shims and the lock tight and get the right size knuckle for the handle bars. By doing so you can easily loosen the 4 Allen screws and still fold down the handle bars if needed. Center the bars, adjust your reach, tighten it all down and ride. May you have many safe miles my brother.✌What, no Ebike emojis😯
Thank you, and yes I should do so. I ended up raising the bar up a couple inches and moved the bars back a bit to adjust my reach. Now its much better, just cant fold it in. I still like the BMX bars better than the stock bar by far. Ride safe!
The way a quill stem works is that it is height adjustable, like a seat post. As long as the wedge part is completely inside the head tube you are good. So you could raise that quill stem up at least an inch or two and retighten it. Hope this helps.
Matter of fact after a month or so I did end up raising it an 1”. Made all the difference!
It doesn’t look right to me about the tiny bmx handlebars and the bulky 4” tires
Yes but the feeling of the bmx bars is like day and night compared to the stock bars and long giraffe neck! @@Laogai001
Great video! Sitting at home with COVID checking videos out about installing BMX handlebars on Lectric XP. Came across your video and really liked how your bike turned out. I have an XP 2.0, after watching your video I will be doing the same thing. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! yeah covid sucks, I got it back in December. If you're a fan of bmx handlebars you will love this mod.
Wow, you did an amazing job. Shows that you have the skills.
Thanks brother I try 😎
Frankie, your energy says, you're a police officer...yes?
LOL... Hard not to love this guy.
Dope channel, bro. 💪🏾🔥
Thank you!!
It makes the xp looks so awesome!!
Love it, great video!!
Totally changes the look!
I want to do my st. I'm 63" the handlebars are high for especially going up steep hills where I have to pedal. I always get stuck and almost drop the bike. I could probably pedal out of it with lower handle bar and over all maneuver the bike better. Thanks for the mod now I see it looks good on the st I'm going to do mine👍. You have a new subscriber.
I LOVE the bmw handlebars! it works for my needs! and thank you for the sub!!
I am going to change mine also the stem makes the bike look terrible. Yours cams out great. Thanks for the info
Totally changes the look and feel of the bike. You’re going to love it!
nice video. very informative. i'm in process of throwing out my giraffe neck and ordered the bmx parts. but i also ordered a stem riser/extender to give a couple more inches height where needed. but of course will be lower in height than the giraffe setup.
It totally changes the look and feel of the bike. I ended up raising the stem on mine a few inches so I can raise the seat as well.
I had to order some shims too cause the handlebar I got coming won't fit the stem I have..I can't wait to try this and see how the bike would feel and look..
I’m telling you it’s like day and night!
A 6 mm hex socket makes taking the hex bolt out of handlebar stem without folding mechanism in the way
Is that a DavidBrandNew setup? It looks awesome!
Thanks and no it’s not a David brand new setup. I ended up using my own mix of parts for this. Similar setup as his. However I believe his has the foldable neck still.
It looks great you did a awesome job. @@FrankiesWorld
@@Gotittogo thank you! I still ride the bike till today and have no regrets with this setup.
@@FrankiesWorld Excellent, I love riding. I may give it a try.
Hey bro, when you replaced the brakes and used the ones you linked in your dual setup video, which lines did you use? When I click the link it’s only the calipers.
You use the stock lines. The calipers are hydraulic but they are activated using your stock cable lines.
Okay will do, appreciate the quick response!
Good job (y)
What is the name of the bag on the lower front of the bike?
This is the link, however it seems to be unavailable at the time. There are several others that are similar tho... www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P852TLL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Awesome video dude can you tell me where you got the side mirrors with the bigger Molly that goes inside the handlebar and expands.
I cant find the original link however it was just like this one www.amazon.com/Universal-Motorcycle-Bar-End-Mirrors/dp/B08NSV7T2Q/ref=sr_1_29?crid=1IJ2Z7RSBVX4Q&keywords=bar%2Bend%2Bmirror&qid=1667356032&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI1Ljk0IiwicXNhIjoiNS41NyIsInFzcCI6IjUuMTgifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=bar%2Bend%2Bmirror%2Caps%2C138&sr=8-29&th=1
@@FrankiesWorld thanks for the quick reply bud. Those are the exact ones I found I just ordered them for my bike. They look a lot like the ones you have. Thanks again dude.
Isn’t there a stem that can be adjust up a little? Not a lot but it would help with your seat height.
Yes I ended up adjusting this one raising the bar 2”. Made a big difference.
Longer stem to fix the bendy knees with BMX handle bars? More upright sitting position.
Waiting for my new bike to arrive.
And no one have mounted a bit longer stem with BMX style. Wonder how that could look?
I had wondered that myself. Also at the same time thought it may have voided the whole point of making the stem shorter but who knows.
My theory is that you won't need that long giraffe looking stem like the original.
Because the BMX bars itselfs has some height, maybe 50% height of the giraffe looking set-up??
Now add a bit longer stem and you will almost have the same height as the original.
I'm just speculating because I've never seen these bikes live 🤓.
@@rickardkevaanranta7808 not a bad idea.
Love the vid...also, you got some crazy cool birds in your yard around 18 minutes in I started noticing that it sounded like you live in a bird sanctuary. Loving my first ebike and now my wife and son want one. Working on figuring out what I'll get them. I have a mid drive bufang 750w and I'm thinking front hub motor for my wife and 12 yr old son's bikes, just to save some money.
Thanks for the comment! And yeah, I have birds all over the place! People once asked if I had a ton of birds for pets when I talk to them on the phone lol how are you liking the mid drive? Was thinking of building a bike with a mid drive system.
@@FrankiesWorld I love it, but I wish I hadn't bought the rear rack/battery setup, especially with a light framed MTB. Makes the rear so heavy that getting on the bike the front wheel wants to heave when tipping the bike. Going to replace with a mid frame mount battery. The 750 provides plenty of help getting around hills here in western NY and I'm very pleased with it. Now my wife and I have been watching bike packing vids the last few days. At 52 yrs old, we are ready to do some exploring with our son this summer.
p.s....we live minutes away from the canal path from Buffalo to Albany.
@@prodesign8189 I feel the same away about having my second battery and controller mounted on the rear rack. I’ve been thinking of other ways to mount it. If I could I would remove the rear rack all together since I don’t really need it for anything besides holding the second battery and controller.
Will these parts work on the lectric xp lite or will i need different sizes?
I am not 100% sure. I would double check to see the size stem that is used on the lite. David brand new may have done a video on the lite with bmx handlebars from what I remember.
Dude, shot those loud ass birds!
🇮🇹 yo Frankie, my Grandfather’s, father, brother, and nephews name👍🏽 do you think that stem adapter would fit on my Lectric xp lite ?
Haha nice! Tbh I am not sure if this stem adapter would fit on the lite.
@@FrankiesWorld no I found the right one, video coming as soon as i get bars and stem👍🏽
Great mod! I'm not sure if I would ever do that, but it's nice to know.
Thanks! this is 100% for sur NOT for everyone. If you are taller than 6' you wont like it, or happen to fold your bike alot...etc.
It does looks cooler👍😎👍
Thanks! feels much more stable as well.
@@FrankiesWorld I grew having a Schwinn bmx with mags wheels. Lectric kinda reminds me of the bmx with the fat tires. I've seen ppl like you put the bmx style handlebars and it fits the look of the bike perfect. But I wouldn't do the things I used to do when I was a teenager. I'll be a afraid it would break. You know what I'm talking about 🤣.
@@scubatrucker6806 lol I know exactly what you’re talking about. The days of trying to bunny hop over a shopping cart knocked over on the street are over for me 😎
What size stem adapter do use? there’s two on the Amazon link
The 25.4 mm one
@@FrankiesWorld did you have to add spacers on the stem?
@@donkimp8053 No, but I did end up raising the bar a couple of inches rather than letting it sit all the way down.
