Awesome upgrade. In our throw away society, good to know we got DIYers like yourself to inspire the less mechanically-inclined to make what what was seemingly old to something new. Keep up the great work.
Where can I get the plug-in play kid and do you have any videos on how you modded your bike. I just bought one a week ago and I want to do exactly what you've done.
Hey Grizzly - its 2024 now and I still revisit this video every once in a while. The simplicity of design on those folding bikes just pleases the eye. It's a modern classic. I especially enjoy seeing that you've rebuilt it in all those different configurations. Cheers from Canada.
I did this to my Radwagon with the kit from Bolton Ebikes then swapped the controller that came with the kit with the Grintech Phase Runner and got a 60v lifepo4 battery from BTR Battery on Amazon. Yes, lifepo4s are heavier but they are less prone to blow up like the li-ion batteries. Now I have a Fastwagon!
Sick build! Had been eyeing these folders for a minute but hadn’t considered modding one… you just opened up a new world of possibilities for one of your latest subscribers!
I follow you and your channel, I would like for you to make a video showing the full install of the kit on your lectric xp. I would like to upgrade mine the way you did.
I just got a zugo rhino sur ronster got me started,you my friend got me going! Urban upgrade king!I hope one day we get to ride together fam!keep it coming!
That looks so good, especially with those tires. Sick build dude. And screw buying a new one, yours is already top tier. As long g as you got a good frame and willing to put that time In
You jingling now Big Homey, 72v is where it's at for sure. now everyone's getting here we gotta take it higher, lol skipping 96 my next one might be 120, lol
Mr. Grizzly there are ways beyond to blow your mind. I have progressed to a point of insanity. Man I'm over here trying to innovate ways of extending ride time for everybody because the only thing not fun about these is being forced to stop!
Love the new look bro, She is faster now sweet. I am still running my Engwe Ep2 pro with the duel motor kit like your first set up whit duel throttle's. she dose 35mph full out got the idea from your video 1700 watts i love riding her now...lol. Keep up the good work Brother. Big thumb's up.
I did close to 3k miles with that setup and had no problems at all. Just wanted a refresh. Glad I could help you enjoy your bike more, thanks for rocking with me 👍🏾.
Yessah my braddah! True sleepah! Stealth mode baby! I feel ya with the upgrading of the bike makes it become a new bike! Was running a similar set up with the 45a Sab with my 48v and top speed was 40 and with a 72v, was hitting similar speeds in this video with my S1. Gonna do a video soon on my new upgrades. Ride safe and stay crazy blessed! 🤙🏾
Throw some ice packs in there with your battery that'll help out a lot.😊 Loving your upgrades on your bike dude. Keep it coming I'll keep watching. God bless.
@@urbangrizzly3709 switching to 72v is like night and day. You got that beefy sabvaton so it’s probably way more efficient. I got a cheap controller but its been working fine. Currently doing a paint job on her. We gotta link up again soon
@@DavidBrandNew What paint brand are you going to use? I see people putting vinyl wrap on there E bikes but honestly, I'd rather just paint it and I hate that stupid goofy Lectric label that is slapped on my 2.0.
@@kissofthecobra3761 the last time we painted a bike we went to an auto paint shop and color matched it to my sister’s durango. Still trying to decide color
This is just amazing wonderful looking electric bike. I am still in in the past. I got my electric bike the Jetson. J52024 and i’m just trying to get it to 25 miles an hour that’s it at least for now safely reaching those speeds not doing any shunt mods or anything like that my Jetson is coming to the grave with me just like people upgrade their Harley Davidson I’m treating mine as a Harley Davidson.
one more thing, if you anyone thinks im crazy for adding the 350 hub to the front when i have a 3000 rear hub, im not because once the 3k overpowers the front 350, it starts free wheeling and doesnt slow the bike a bit, it comes in for hill climbs and tht kinda shit. Im despereate to get my bike called BURN OUT, soon because i also have bad heart disease ad i hear god knocking on more door. I HAVE to finish this build before i answer that knock. Building this thing is keeping me alive. =) peace out god bless you all!!
I'm only 5 minutes 38 seconds in and what I would tell you is that's an awesome bag but I would cut open the inside and rip out the insulation to maybe try to keep the battery cooler
"let me go fast here..." Holy S*** - wow. That thing is a monster. Your hit 45 haha. That's crazy fast on a bicycle. "big fun" - that is for damn sure. Nice mods - really good job man. I am looking for my first ebike and have been looking at the lectric xp 2. Re the XP Premium - meh - I'm not sold on it - I like the idea of getting my own extra battery for an xp 2 - kind of what Sunny Whitehurst did with a 20ah battery. And about the step over - I def see what you are saying. But I'm an old fart and the ST would be easier for sure. I like the step over look - it kind of reminds me of an old school rigid frame harley - very cool look.
Nice tires. I had a pair. Elev8 makes the same exact tires. They get flats easily though. I would cop some tannus tire inserts for those joints. Also, I'm too lazy to fix the brake rub on my ebike 😆
First time here ...Lemme start by saying ...Wow ...The piece is nice and it is def a sleeper . I just ventured into the ebike world like 2 months ago and I picked up the xp 2.0 and was not really looking into moddin it to the max but i wanted to squeeze a lil bit more out of it. Where I live its cold and i cannot really ride it alot so there is alot of time i got to to add a lil bit of stuff here and there. Like i just picked up a 11 x 28 freewheel i gotta put on yet and there are a few things i am looking into doing so i can make it a lil bit quicker . I am not looking to jump right into the 72 volt stage just yet ...but dont say Never ...lol There are a few things ima hit u up about but like i said i just got here and i dont wanna hit ya with all the questions just yet. I will check out ur channel and see what vids you got up and then I will hit ya up. I am subbed and i will check the links on the way out to see the links you got up .. One i am interested in is the tires but i only got the 3 inch rims ...I am looking to quiet this puppy down like urs . Lastly nice piece ... ride safe, smooth and quiet and they will never see ya coming ...or leavin !
Great video. I just subscribed. Can you show how you put everything together? I want to make something like yours My city (Pittsburgh, PA) isn't really a bike city. I want something stealthy
Bro awesome job on the bike now im def gonna buy it..And your right by eye view the way it looks u cnt tell if its in ebike..It looks like a BMX lol..Hey did u get the bike all black or did u paint it yourself as part of the upgrade???
Alright Grizz! Finally someone who made want to copy their work. I'm probably going to get another Biria S2 and do this, being that you have to remove and replace all the electronics anyway (it's a 36v and it's the flagship bike here). Nice job and 👍 thanks
im like you, i took a shitty protech 20x4 folding ebike, did repaint, put 3k hub, built the 78 volt battery added a 350 watt hub to the front tire, then now a 6.5 inch motocycle headlight. i will be straight up i like building them more then riding them for some reason
Buckaroo I'm basically doing the same thing I am on my fourth billed, I suggest you get into the batterys it's not that difficult ,Isaa double dare ya .take care thanks
idk if id want to go 40 on a folder often or have all that weight in the back, but looks fun. would be nice to be able to get it in the trunk of my car though. I could maybe get a 29er in but id def have to remove the front wheel and maybe go in through the door. the only step throughs i like are the ones with a console filling in the step through like the radrunner. extra storage in the center of bike for weight distribution and helps make it look like a motorcycle if done right. one could do a lot to hit extra batts etc on a bike like that.
Turned it into beast. Now which is your favorite after this upgrade? Lol. Yeah those brakes look treacherous to say the least. You got me wanting to heat up my credit card now. Lol
The Lectric is faster now but the ZX is no punk either, and has better range. I alternate everyday now. The XP was sitting for awhile when I upgraded the super73 but now it gets a lot more seat time. They’re both 🔥now. Hard to choose lol.
ohh ya chaoyang back tire that resists flats and apehanger handebars that are for a motorcycle. i wish i could upgrade the forks, but i am on disability money because im a semi crippled and almost blind, so riding my bike is kinda scary, but damm it looks good
I'm with you on that step hrough👎🏻, it great for a chick or older men, maybe even delivery dudes, oh yeah good to see you back wit that content, cause those ahort vids were killing me. Lol !!
Wow 👌 great job iwas wondering how long would that battery would last and I'm looking into buying the lectric 3.0 it would be my first electric bike would that be a good bike to buy
Awesome bike mate. I have not seen many people upgrading to 72v. What is your range with this battery? IMHO I think you should transfer this setup for a full suspension because you are going too fast and is becoming dangerous Full suspension gives way more comfort, control and safety. Love your content, Cheers!
Are you saying you could put that rear wheel and motor on the mid drive X Premium and they would work together? Is that possible? Your bike is awesome. Might get a black stepover XP 3.0. I Wish it had hydraulic brakes though. I like the idea of it but also wont buy it as a step through. Great video man. Did you use that turtleneck stem to do your bmx bars? Subscribed

That build is clean! I clicked the link to the kit but it seems they're no longer available. Do you or anyone know where I can find that kit now?
I'm looking to, can't find it
Love it. Your vid's solidified my decision to pick one up tomorrow. You in the inglewood area? Think I recognize some of those streets.
This is dope. I have the lectric 2.0. I'm most likely going to copy your mod. Appreciate your work bro. Just subbed to your channel too.
Have to completed your mod? I just got my kit and battery but need help.

Are you staying with the electric Xpremium with the mid-drive motor I can still do the same setup with the 2000 in the back 😱 omg
Is there any way to make the old factory rear wheel hub motor work on the front? Or is it too wide to fit.
That thing is so fire though lol nice
Any channels you suggest for diy for ebikes?
can i just buy the motor and plug that in because i feel like the kit is already installed on my xp 3.0
Can the hub motor be put in the newer XPeak High Step? Thanks.
Why no more videos grizzly? Love your content

I have the xp 2 can I do the same thing to my bike?
Wow 👌 great job iwas wondering how long would that battery would last and I'm looking into buying the lectric 3.0 it would be my first electric bike would that be a good bike to buy

Hi Grizz, is the 81.00 they charge for the Vee Speedster tires worth it? Over time you have used them 5 months now. Pretty bike.
Who’s the manufacturer of the 2000 watt motor kit
Hydraulic brakes would definitely be.a good idea for this bike.
Nice ride! Are those 4' wide tires and is the gearing stock?
Flat surface, how fast you getting?
Did you remove the seat post?
Good job
What kind of controller did you put on there what kind of controller would work with a 48 volt battery
What is the top speed ?
Since you can built another like this, can I buy your current ebike? Or maybe in the future?
my e-bike folds up , can I still change my handlebars to this type ?
