I purchased the Hafny Bar End Bike Mirror HF-MR083, works great on my lectric XP. I purchased this bar end type mirror mainly for the convenience when folding the XP bike to transport.
Mmmm, maybe I should consider that model for the right side of my Lectric XP? I don't usually go for end of bar mirrors, but that one might be worth trying if I need to be able to see on my right side.
well done video! reassuring it is so compatible with the brand bike you have, as I do as well. Thank you for the tips on the value of using a torque wrench!! I just got an Lectric bit and they reference using one, and now I can do so!!
Right side mirrors are good for heavy trafficked streets where cars go into right turn lanes to the right of the bike lane. Now I need to buy a right side mirror🙂
I first got a cheap mirror with a longer extension but the shaking from the handlebars made it almost useless. So I got this instead and it works perfectly well. Since I always ride on the right side, I have no use for a right side mirror.
Take an icepick and a bottle of water, slide the pick under the grip with the end of the grip toward the ground. Lift it enough water will flow into the grip, remove ice pick and slide grip off.
Oh man! I just remembered we used to do that when I was a kid (which was only about 4 decades ago lol) and totally forgot about that technique! Thanks so much for the tip and refreshing my memory. Ugghh...I feel so silly now struggling so hard to get it off. I should've thought back to how I used to do it back then when I was much smaller.
Hey, kinda off-topic, Idk if you ever rode in heavy or continuous rain yet, but what do you use to protect the display screen and other possible wiring that could get exposed to water? Any suggestions? Maybe you can make a review video on that and what are the fastest amp battery chargers as well
Here in Los Angeles County it hasn’t rained much. I am going to carry a ziploc bag so if it does rain while I am out I can put it over the display. The bike is rated to handle rain so the only other part I’d really worry about is the PAS buttons and would cover that with something too.
How do you like it? I changed my mind from liking the long arm type to the end of bar type like yours. It’s really easy to install and see behind me without my body in the way.
Did you say those handlebar grips were actually softer than the og XP grips? My hands always go to sleep. Thanks!! Husband and I live your videos you do an amazing job!!😊
Thanks for the kind words and encouragement! Yes, the grips are softer than the stock ones that come with the ebike, but not by much. If you’re hand are going to sleep, try seeing if you have any room to move your seat forward and bring your handlebars closer to you by rotating them a little. Just a small adjustment on either (even 1 inch forward on the seat) can make a huge difference. Many seats have rails where the post attaches to it and often is centered when installed. This gives room to loosen and push the seat forward which will give you a little more upright position and less pressure on your hands.
I purchased this mirror for my Aventon Sinch, my question is the left side has the throttle and the pedal assist and turning on the bike buttons, can I move all that stuff in for this?
If the there is enough open space on the handlebar to fit, then moving those parts over should be easy. You may want to also make sure that anything you need a lot of access to (like the throttle) stays within a reasonable reach with the mirror bracket moving them further from the grips. On the Lectric XP 1.0, there was barely enough free handlebar space to add it, but it did work out in the end and I think you should be able to as well.
I hope there was enough information in the video that was helpful to you. If you need more information on how to install mirrors. Let me know, and I will try to help. Sorry about the tools talk. I really like tools and felt it would be helpful to share the tools that would help make doing things on the ebike faster.
She will learn that not having the right tool and torque either breaks/strips the expensive part or the part will loosen and swivel off in the middle of heavy traffic. If one doesn’t like tools, be friends with a competent mechanic/bike-shop.
I didn't think it was an ad for the bike he has at all, rather as much as referencing the association o the mirrors to being easily compatible to his bike brand. Man will appreciate that as it is reassuring that it's a fit for their bike as well.
Great demonstration of mirrors and helpful tools to install them.

I don't need a right side mirror since I always ride on the rt side. I have the same mirror and it's a great purchase.

That is almost the same story I lived through. Cheap mirrors are as good as no mirrors as they bounce around too much or aren’t clear.
Just bought one of these yesterday for my sur ron 👍 going to get one for my girls xp. Love your videos
Awesome! Thank you! I appreciate the kind words and support. These mirrors are really awesome.
Nice review/demo. Thanks for sharing.
Nice Mirrors
FYI don’t forget to back off torque wrench when not in use
Oh yes! Thanks for the reminder. I need to make sure to mention that when I make the next video and review it.
I like the electric driver/torque wrench. Makes it easy not to over tighten small hardware
Do you recommend replacing the mechanical brakes to hydraulic brakes? Do you have any recommendations? and/or how-to video?

@@EbikeProducts use an air compressor, there is a video on you tube to do this, I believe Jerimiah macintaosh (sp) shows this.
I also have the same mirror and also only on the left. Great review
Thanks for watching and commenting!

Just received my Haney mirror today. But I ordered the mirror that goes into the end of the handle

Thank you I will give it a try! And get some of those tools you shared! Thank you so much!
so are the mirrors electric or are they just mirrors that are still adjusted by manual manipulation?
Thanks for the tips.
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I don’t really want to buy a set of two when I can only use one?
I totally understand. I only use a left side mirror. I just checked amazon and they offer one side only options for most of their mirrors.
Hey. Thank you
Welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting!
what kind of bike computer display you have in the center of you handlebars and do you have a link. thank you.
That display is what comes with the Lectric XP.
Why didn’t you just buy bar end mirrors, so you don’t have to touch any of the controls?
It's there something wrong with lectric mirrors
I don't know why you guys put one mirror on when the bike would look better with two I would never run just one mirror I don't think it looks right
I don’t care about the tools you use I wanna know how to put the mirrors on I’m a woman I don’t give a crap about tools
I hope there was enough information in the video that was helpful to you. If you need more information on how to install mirrors. Let me know, and I will try to help.

You know you've always got good videos but you advertise the electric bike too much
