- You'll need a 25.4 mm quill stem adapter, a new stem and some cool handlebars. Also called a 1" to 1 1/8" threadless stem adapter. The one I got from Amazon is sold out...

I had my coworker mechanic, do mine. I changed from tall bars to mountain bike handlebars that are much lower. Added a handlebar extender for my dispay. Some go high, some go low. Im over 66, i like everything low. 😁
@@Mark-qv4bn Very cool!
I just put on a bmx handlebar on mine and wow that changed the bike completely..it handles better and better control too..if I knew this I would of do this the first day I got my bike
Awesome mod!
I have an xp 3.0 do you think I'll need a stem riser it looks low
Best video . I did my Eahora X7 by watching this . Got the bars and head-stem from a BMX site during a sale and the quill stem + carbon-fibre spacers from AmazonUK. Worked out a lot cheaper to do than i thought it would.
I'm not a fan of those T-bars that seem to come with most 20" fatbikes and this is an excellent low-cost way to change up your E-bike.
Thanks for the great info !
P.S: Need to get one of those fun looking remote-controlled seats too :)
Glad my video helped! Thanks for watching!
Very helpful video on BMX bar conversion by far, thanks to this man it made my bar flip smooth, I went with a 10.5 x 30 inch bar instead, he was real detailed . 👍
Glad you found it helpful.
So this was the best video for the topic. Very thorough. Thanks for clearing up the measurements!
Glad it was helpful!
I've just completed this mod on my fat tire/folder and could not be happier with the results. Thank you for this useful post!
i was looking for. Thanks for the
Glad I could help!
Very informative, thank you. You answered some of the questions had. I would like to see a video on how to move the components on the handle bar around.
That's easy. Just use an Allen wrench to loosen the bolts, and slide them off.
Thanks for this. You showed a couple of steps that other guys moved by too fast. It's clearer to me now.
Glad you found it helpful!
thanks, I was searching amazon for parts and all those numbers made me crosseyed. this was helpful info
Glad it helps!
awesome upgrades, especially the seat post
Thanks!
Thanks i just ordered my Lectric XP and I am use to ridding a mountain bike so depending how i feel with bars that come with my XP i may switch out good video
Thanks, safe riding!
I ordered two stems (one as part of the BMX kit) for two separate bikes. One stem was fine and installed/functions without issue, but the other stem was defective - it can not be opened, even with considerable force, enabling it to be installed. After many many emails back and forth with the company, and having even sent a video demonstrating that even with all my force I could not open the stem (yes, I know how to open them, I installed one already remember), they eventually, after many delays and follow-up confirmed it was defective and confirmed they would send return mailing label. I have now been waiting for days, with absolutely no response from them after, again, many emails, to receive the return shipping label. I am now initiating a charge dispute through my credit card company.
Just be aware if planning to place an order. As I said, the product is very cool, their treatment of customers if product has a defect, at least based on my experience, is terrible. Buyer be aware.
Thank you very much! This video covered everything!
I'm happy to hear, thanks!
Saddle post is one cool party trick.
Just what i needed to see, great - thanks.
Glad you liked, thanks for watching!
yes , a tuturol on relocating components on bars would be grateful.
Excellent. Subscribed. Thanks.
Nice video sir, really helped 😎💯
Thank you, glad it helps!
Nice setup on your ride
Thank you very much!
Hands down the best handlebar mod tutorial out there for this bike...thank you! I have an aftermarket handlebar that is a consistent 7/8” all across the stem area so it doesn’t have the thicker 1” stem attachment spot in the middle. The XP has a stem to handlebar bracket that appears to require a minimum 1” handlebar width to tighten down properly. Should I just buy a shim that’s converts the 7/8” handlebar to 1” ?
Thanks for the nice comment! Shims or several wraps of tape should do the trick!
Very informative thank you 🙏
Glad you enjoyed!
My stock ones got play up top I'm afraid of the allen bolt on top cuz they don't want to bust it off it's very tight and painted on but thank you for the knowledge
You bet, good luck!
thanks for this video, it helped alot
Very glad!
119 likes your vedio friend very nice BMX bike thank you for sharing watching from Japan
They seem quite a bit lower. I'll see if I can find a longer stem
We wanna see how you installed the pegs please 🥺🥺
Can you please give me the 3 links to buy the 3 exact parts that you had. I love it. Great video. Thumb up. Thanks.
Thanks.
Anybody knows if this can be done with the same parts on the G-Force t42?
Hello and thanks for all of the great information you are providing. Do you think that the stock stem could be cut down shorter and still preserve the ability to fold? I just got my Lectric XP 2.0 up and running this week and really want to change the handlebar situation. I find the stock steering to be quite jerkey and want to replace it with something with a more swept back, relaxed and upright position. Thanks again for this great video. Now I finally understand risers and quill stems
No you cannot cut and still fold the stock stem. You can however buy shorter stems on websites like AliExpress.
Thanks for this video
Thanks for watching!
I like the better control BMX high handlebars with the added stability of the crossbar accessory holder from GoPro to Drone (:. What are the best comfy seats?
Me too!
What wrench to get old bars off?
Thanks for this video! Are there any extended quil stems that can give the BMX handlebars some more height? My stock handlebars are set pretty high 21 inches, I'd like to switch but I'm afraid the new height will be way too low for me.
I'm not sure, I would think you could find longer ones...
was moving the shifter, grips, etc.. as easy as taking them off the original handlebars and putting them on the bmx ones? Really looking into doing this.. but im no good when it comes to wiring lol
Yes it sure is! Just a couple different size Allen wrenches is all you need.
Do you need to take the star nut out so the quill stem fits? The star nut thing is blocking it
Awesome video! New Lectric XP owner here. Sorry, for the dumb question but what size is the stem? 25.4 mm? I also see you have some sort of thin foam or between the handle bars and stem. Does that come with the stem or is that separate? Can the handle be raise higher or lower? What do you need for that? Thanks.
Hiya, 25.4mm is correct for the stem size. That foam you see is actually holding on my digital display to my handlebars it's not holding the handlebars to the stem although it kind of looks that way.
Wish I saw this before buying my stuff. I went through the same thing. 1st quill was too loose. Got the right 1 and then the next stem was too big for my bars. I have to send it back. After doing all this I'm thinking the bars will be too low making me reach and bend over too much. But we'll see.
How tall are you? Did you keep the stock bars?
@@embeaston I'm 6'2". No check my latest video out. I did a 13.5 ape hanger mod (that's on the XP video previous to my last) and I'm loving them. I had BMX bars before that but they killed my back. Lol.
Here's the link to my latest XP video where I try out my new bars, battery and other mods. czcams.com/video/4ug_aUq0xmk/video.html
@@StrillLife Dope. thanks for the reply. I’ll check out the video. I’ve been looking at the new Friend bike with full suspension. I’m thinking about that one too.
@@embeaston yeah David BrandNew did a review on that 1 and uploaded it today. I've been so busy today I haven't had a chance to check it out. Looks like a solid bike too.
Hi ! Best Lectric conversion on CZcams . Sorry, I know your video is 2 yrs old but I just recently bought a Lectric xp 2.0 and plan to convert my handlebars … regarding the stem adapter quill ,where did you buy yours ? And what is the length of the stem adapter quill ? Thank you in advance
Not sure the reason you wouldn't use the factory stem, and just replace the handle bars, I would like to have a similar hight to factory set up with a wider handle bar set.
I went thru all this effort because I like BMX style bars over straight.
Someone on youtube made a qiick release removable bmx handle bar system for the ebikes thats really well made. $99. Allows you to still fold up your bike.
DavidBrandNew?
Would you say most 20inch bmx bike handlebar/stem setup would be a direct swap into the lectric xp?
Absolutely! Once you get that quill stem adapter you can put any stem and bars on you like.
@@sed6 good to know, but you don't think existing BMX quill will work?
Did you consider installing dirt bike handlebars? If so, why did you go with BMX bars over dirt bike bars? It sort of looks like all the BMX bars do is replace the long stock stem ending up with about the same thing but with less space on the bar to mount accessories. Great video btw....just got my XP and trying to figure out what upgrades I should do. The fender vibration or whatever it is that vibrates at higher speeds is about the only annoyance I'm noticing so far...and also the lag in throttle response...not sure why there is like a one second delay before the motor responds to the throttle movement...You automatically get used to it but I would rather have an instant response.
Thank you. I never considered anything besides the BMX bars because they offer far more room for accessories than any single straight bar could.
change P11 from 3 to 1
press up+down and hold few seconds. press select to advance to p11. press down to lower count. press up+down to exit. Recheck values as sometimes pressing up+down same time messes up.
Like your mod on the XP Lectric Bike. Did you also do a video on shorting the cables? Did it require cutting cables? Thanks
I'm glad you liked! I can't recall if I cut the cables. I just ride it now days. I'll check and get back.
I would greatly appreciate it. I do enjoy riding my xp but with the long neck it makes it a little unstable. @@sed6
Thanks
Your welcome!
Anyway to do this with a folding stem?
Hey, i did the bmx bar swap to my lectric xp..if i want to add the front suspension fork and use the bmx bar setup, can i just cut the tube on the new suspension to where i want it and still use the quill stem setup i have for the bmx bars?
Yes you can!
@@sed6 cool...so i just need to order the front suspension fork? Does that come with the bearings you mentioned in the video
Does anyone know if the measurements would be the same for a “Friend ebike” ??
Not sure but probably so.
Looks awesome, great video! I'm trying to put the bmx handlebars on mine put I can't figure out how to take the twist throttle off the original bars, any advice on how to remove so I can put it on the new bmx bars
Thanks! There's a tiny allen set screw holding the throttle in place.
@@sed6 thank you!
Sir where did you buy that kind of sit post ? What they called that ?
It's called a dropper seat post. Commonly available online.
Hi can you get a longer metal rod inside..do u know of ..thanks gr8 video
I believe yes
I bought all these parts it does not work on 3.0 forks, stem adapter, doesn’t fit into the fork
Sorry to hear, thanks for letting us know!
Where did you buy the handle bars? p / n?
Odyssey Lumberjack XXL 9.8
So for some reason you can't put the BMX bars on the factory stem.
Yes, but then they are crazy tall. Plus I like the BMX look and that includes the BMX bar and stem 👍
Thank you for this video. I would like to get a lectric and do the same for my 9 yo son. He can't keep up with the family who all have ebikes. Do you think this mod would work for a 9 yo boy?
No, my 10yo nephew is too small. My 11yo nephew just barely big enough and my 13yo nephew rides it like he stole it! It's as much about the weight of the bike compared to the kid as it is riding about riding position.
@@sed6 thanks, that helps. I'm going to go with the swagtron eb7 and try to do this same mod. Hopefully it works for him. We have no choice, he can't go on the rides everyone else is going on. The eb7 is much smaller and lighter, we will see. I'll have to wait and order the stem when it comes so that I have the correct measurement.
Thanks again!
@@johnsivo500 did you ever get the swagtron eb7 for your boy?
Could I use a stem riser on this to heighten the handlebars…?
Sure can!
@@sed6 Hi and Thanks for the fast reply….what stem riser would I need as the folding mechanism on the Lectric bike is the same as mine….👍
Why has none showed a video how to keep the height of the original bars as thats a hell of a drop, dnt understand why no ones showed a way to use an bigger stem so the bars ain't as low ,there's no way I cld have rode mine that low my bck wld have broke ,lol ,
will this work for the step thru model?
Yep, same concept.
I like that BMX as the factory stem is just a bad design and too far forward.
Hi,, It looks like you shortened the loom. how simple or hard is that ? thanks
It's very easy to slide off once you remove all the wires, but if you don't want to do that much work you can just cut it with scissors.
@@sed6 so just cut it and splice together and tape up? Are those all just simple copper wire cables?
What size is that handle bar? Can I use any BMX handle bar?
Or do you have the link for it??
1 inch or 25.4mm. Watch from 8:04
What's the width of the stock handlebars?
I don't recall, maybe 26"?
Yeah mine snapped in half I was pissed
What size bars and neck so I get?
22.2mm diameter bars (same as 7/8ths) and 25.4mm neck.
@@sed6 Thank you
@@sed6 IS your stem made by Salt?
Hello 🤗 all friend 🤗
But now it's not a foldable bike. Because the folding mechanism is not going to work for the handlebars.
The other issue is what's great about these electric e-bikes is that they're not BMX jumping type crazy bikes. They are stand up type bikes So a comfortable ride. I would not use them like a BMX bike I don't think they could handle it and they're way too heavy.. So I don't see the point of converting in the first place but..
When you convert to BMX handlebars for you to get the proper seat adjustment for your legs if you're a tall person say about 6 ft now you're really bending over because you can't really raise the height of those BMX handlebars.
Very uncomfortable for long rides.
So basically you're taking a nice upride bike kind of a mountain bike a little bit That's very heavy that you really can't use for BMX biking And now you're making it uncomfortable and you can't fold it down the right way when you store it in a car.
It just doesn't make any sense.
I could see changing the handlebars on a folding bike to be 30 in wide from the 24 in wide of the electric XP for more comfortable controlling ride when steering.
But again I just don't get it. Other than for the aesthetics.. well or unless you're a little kid And you want the BMX bike feel can you not that big of a person.
Thanks for watching! It does still fold the same 👍
@@sed6 yeah still it just doesn't look right to me on these bikes I guess it's a kid thing where you used to a BMX bike as a kid now you want to put those handlebars on your grown up bike.
It's kind of like putting a cat's head on a tiger body. Or vice versa It looks weird.
And if I'm correct if you're a tall person like me maybe 6 ft and over I put my handlebars on my G-Force T42 bike which I absolutely love.. putting the handlebars up all the way I like to sit upright and be relaxed these bikes will never perform like a BMX bike so I don't see the point of having handlebars making it uncomfortable for long distance that are too low.
But I thought those handlebars did not fold down like the original ones. If you mean fold down meaning you have to loosen the armor and screws it's not going to fold down as compact as the original..
I don't think I saw you fold them down Maybe I wasn't watching?
