Just under 2 minutes in and I HAD to pause the vid to say: I just got a new folding e-bike (Magicycle brand) and have DESPERATELY been wanting to switch to handlebars that are slightly swept back rather than the stock “straight across” handlebars. From watching a bunch of e-bike vids, you wound up in my feed and I am SOOOOO glad!!! I grew up riding bikes with handlebars shaped something like your new ones (and I rode kinda low on what they called “banana” seats back then. [sorry, I’m showing my old age… Google it!😂😂😂]), and I had given up all hope of EVER finding handlebars like that ever again since I will prolly NEVER ride a BMX bike!!!!!😂😂😂 Thanks so much for posting, I’m going to check out the link you provided. And I’m a new sub- I want to see what else you’ve been up to. Signed,
Probably Old Enough to Be Your Grandma🤗
P.S. Keep having fun, and stay safe!
How awesome! I’m happy you find the video. Yea I wasn’t a fan of the standard bars it came with. 😊 welcome to the channel!!
I swapped out my handlebars on my XPremium and what a difference it made. I have some curved back handlebars. Now when I start out on a ride I am smiling right off the back because the handlebars feel so great! And I changed the grips to some 8 dollar grips from WalMart and really love them too. This does make my bike a little harder to fold up and put in my car though, but it was worth it. Nice video. You cracked me up when you said you were lost and you were so close to home. LOL
Lol isn’t it great to have a whole new experience just by changing one thing? I should have done this a long time ago. Glad you enjoyed the video! 😂
Use fine grain sandpaper on both brake pads and the rotors, then clean them to get all the grit off. It's the miniscule particles embedded in the brakes that causes the squeaking. Cleaning helps but doesn't get rid of embedded particles. Wider handle bars provide better turning stability.
Thanks for the advice! Yea the last time I cleaned them I saw a lot of build up. I’ll definitely be doing this often.
8:31 "Weeeeeeeee!" lol. Loved it it Bekah!!!
Thanks Stu! Gotta get a feel for it before the next video 😁.
What a smooth ride. And that POV looks great.
Editing this made me feel even more nauseous lol
Wow what a ride!!!!!!! I know nothing about these bikes. And they look very scary to me. You be careful out there girlfriend.!!!!!! What a great video.!!!!!! ❤❤❤
Oh I will! I’m definitely looking forward to dashing on this now. It’s so much more comfortable and less awkward feeling. Thanks for watching! ❤️
I never would've guessed that handlebars would make any difference. Great video.
Honestly neither did I. I really don’t mess around with bikes like that. Usually, how they come is how I leave them. This makes me even more curious as to what I should upgrade on this thing.
nice...they should come out of the box this way
It would be nice if they did wouldn’t it?
DBN / Lectric is where it's at. Nice setup!
Thank you! I’m happy with the look.
the new bars def look nice
An upgrade I didn’t know I needed. It’s like I’m riding a whole new bike.
Bravo the new setup is awesome!! Blessings to you
Thank you I appreciate that!
It looks like you are going about 50 mph. Nice video. That bike looks super fun to ride.
Down that one hill I can hit about 30-35. That’s scary sometimes but the next bike I want can max speed 45. I’ll definitely have to start wearing full body protection. Thanks Cypress for watching!
Excellent looks great. Install looks good, 2 thumbs up for @DavidBrandNew. I agree my brakes squeak since new. The brakes are annoying.
They definitely are. It takes away from the ride. Still fun nonetheless but yea it’s a definite upgrade in the future.
@@MsGrindandFitness Definitely! Have to go with what's comfortable to you. I like your vids 😁
Thank you 🙏🏽 I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊
Cool Bekah👍
Hi 👋, great video content. I've put bmx bar's on my bike, feels like a different bike. So much fun, ride Safe ❤
It’s got that brand new ride kind of feeling. Ride safe as well!
Never apologize about jingling ...especially to me (since I am notorious for having my keys in literally every shot, haha)
I felt like I was on a cool ride at an amusement park
Oh no, we got lost! And ouch those sidewalks!
Love those yellow pants! Great color!
My face always itches immediately after I paint my nails LOL so I know what you mean about having an itch you can't get to
Thanks for the ride Miss Bekah!💛
"They sound so STOOPID" hahaha
lol funny you say that because that jingle sound while I’m riding pisses me off when it goes for too long. I’ve got issues 😊
@FranDashPHX don’t get me started on amusement parks. This video woulda been wild if I didn’t get nauseous while I was editing. Watch for the next one it’ll be fantastic… and worse lol
how did you upgrade your speed for the xp lite? Thanks for your vids. They make me happy.
I didn’t upgrade the speed. I’m actually just using everything stock when it comes to power. Glad the videos make you happy.
Get some uv sun protection arm sleeves for your arms
Funny you mention it, I actually had a pair with me that day I just forgot about it and didn’t put them on.
@@MsGrindandFitness I got them too
@electricscooterdasher8780 I’ll be using them this time around. Last year in spring/summer I got a wild tan
Same here
What is the green circular thing on the handle bars? If you say a horn I am going to be so excited! 😂
lol not a horn a bell. Makes a little ding sound. I DO have a horn but it’s a little obnoxious when I use it.
will this work with an ebike that doesn't have any curve , just straight horizontal bar ?
It should I would think. The bundle is really advertised as a bmx look, where the stem allows the bars to fold. To double check I’d check out his channel “David Brand New” and ask him directly.
@@MsGrindandFitness ok thanks, I'm not really concerned if it doesn't fold anyway
It was really designed for people to get rid of that standard giraffe neck stem that comes with a lot of e-bikes without losing the ability to fold.
It doesn't look like he is stocking anything anymore. Do you know of any alternatives. With no stock i think he's probably closing up shop and don't want to risk a pre-order. Thanks.
No he isn’t closing up. I don’t know any alternatives but when I orders I received it within a week. Comment on one of his posts and I’m sure he’ll reply back with more info. ☺️
No, he isn't closing! I ordered Turtle Neck FX (stem only) on June 11 and just received yesterday, July 15th. Yes, it takes awhile as these are specially made and he runs out quick! It's well worth the wait! I'm ordering a new stem and bars from Source BMX and it should be quicker in receiving my new stem and bars to complete my mods.
@@ralphmeder7842 sweet! Hope you’re enjoying it! Best upgrade I made. Got lots of compliments too 😎
Ya its gonna be your pads, Watching your most recent vid and seeing you put 1000 miles on the bike you definitely need to have them replaced....they are super cheap.
Yea I’m gonna get them done I can’t handle that sound anymore. It’s gotten to the point I don’t want to brake lol
@@MsGrindandFitness You won't need new pads unless they are worn down. Just see my post above and save some money.
Who is 2024 would still buy lectric ? There is bikes you can buy for half the price that are 2 times better with much better features .
lol oh believe me I’m in the market for a new one. There’s so many to choose from! I’ve had this for about 2 years now.
They released the 2.0 and it still remains a good budget option and they upgraded it enough to keep up with times.
@@kilowattgang yea I’ve been receiving their newsletters, must say it looks promising.
@@kilowattgang nah . Not in my humble opinion. There's bikes with double the power and battery range with better front and back lights and 4 piston hydraulic disc brakes with 203 size rotors that are the same price and cheaper than lectrics.
@@acerkrt show me a 1000 watt motor evoke with four piston hydraulic disc brakes and 203mm rotors for 800$
