    Followed these instructions from start to finish and swapped out my handlebars last night. I'm a 61 y.o. disabled woman that knows how to use tools. LOL I have a set of PARK multi bike tools and used them to do the entire project. I even used my "potbelly" compressor with the nozzle to get the grips off. Worked like a charm!!!

    TIP: use hair spray to put the new grips on! IT's very slippery until it drys, then it is sticky and holds them on well.

  • @999pudge
    @999pudge 3 года назад +4

    Just like your wife i wanted the grips a little closer. I considered getting a replacement handlebar. Then i took a good look at the stock handlebars and noticed they had a bend that made them about 1 1/2" higher. at the grips than at the stem. I simply rotated the handlebar 90 degrees then loosened set screws and adjusted position of brake handles, throttle, display, and power control button. In just a couple minutes I had my grips 1 1/2" closer, and more comfortable. The loss of height was easily fixed with the adjustable head tube latch. The hardest part of the job was rotating the hand grips which were really tight on the handlebars, but that was accomplished with the help of channel lock pliers.

    Just did this for my wife's XP2.0 and she's all smiles! She says it takes the pressure off her hands which were stretching to reach the brakes and shifter with her small hands and minor arthritis in the thumbs. She feels it is a more relaxed position in general and since she is mostly street riding rather than trail, she appreciates the more upright position. Thanks Jeremiah for the tip!

    I love the stock grips... You don't need to hold the handlebars tight if your on a smooth road. You actually turn a bike by pushing on the the grips over 2mph.. push the right grip to turn right. I know this from my motorcycle racing days. Its all about pushing and pressure to turn at riding speeds.

    You can buy grip glue but I prefer hair spray! Just spray it in each grip and that's it. It's a lube when putting on the grips and sticks them tight when dry. I'd let them rest over night to let the hair spray dry. Almost no residue when the grips are removed. I always use "ultra hold" for this purpose. I have put on 10's of thousands of grips using this method and it always works.

    Hi jeremiah. Good video.. I changed out my straight bar for a swept back style about a month ago. My bike is an ecotric. So much more comfortable and the hand numbness has disapeared on long rides. Definately recomended and especially so if you have been having discomfort in the wrist, hand and back areas..

  • @rik8809
    @rik8809 3 года назад +3

    Excellent video! My wife has mentioned that she wishes the handlebars were a bit closer as well, so this is an upgrade that we will look at as well.
    I had to adjust my handlebar, as the hand grips were pointed downwards. This put everything that was mounted on the bars out of position. When adjusting the shifter, it took an impact driver to loosen up the Phillips head screw. I’m sure others will run into the same problem.
    Thanks for the great demonstration and tips!

    Good job!! here are a couple more tips for you. If you blow air on the edge of the grips on the bars that will move them also. but for most people we do not have a compressor so rubbing alcohol works great. I got mine off with a small screw driver to lift up the edge and squirting in rubbing alcohol . remove the screw driver and 2 twists per side and the were off, quicker then you did using air. but air on the other side of the grip would have been quicker for you too. That is how they remove open end grips since there is a hole on the end. When I did mine I put the grips on before I tightened the brakes and shifter. Made it much easier to get the spacing and my make sure the throttle still moved freely.

    Love it! I know it makes a huge difference to her back. I have lower back issues and I think I’ll get my handlebar changed WHEN MY BIKE ARRIVES. Hopefully, not much longer. It would be nice if that was an option when you purchased the bikes. Thank you, Jeremiah, for all your reviews and accessory choices. You have helped me in deciding a lot to be ready when my bike arrives. Hello to your wife son. They are blessed to have you to take such good care of them. Your skills are priceless. You have a beautiful family. If I could ride as many miles as your son, I’ll be very happy!
    Oh yes, I hope a sponsor sends some of those communication helmets to review so you and your family can communicate while riding. Then we will know which ones you like. I saw some that up to four family members can communicate with. I think those are so important to have.
    Thanks again!

      @@JeremiahMcintosh hi from Georgia. I finally got 210 miles on my eBike! I haven’t been able to ride since last Sunday because I started a spinal cord stimulator trial on Monday, November 30th. I will return to the doctor to have the lead removed from my back on Monday, December 7th. It’ll probably be awhile before I ride again, unless I use throttle only, because I will have the stimulator implant on December 22nd. Then, I most likely will just wait until the spring of 2021 to ride again, depending on how my back heals after getting the spinal cord stimulator implant.

I haven’t been on a bike in many years and didn’t do well on my first attempt ( no motor- just wanted to try the bike first and down I went).

      Glide down a slightly down sloping longish driveway while steering gently towards the right onto the roadway at end of driveway; do this repeatedly a dozen or so times till one gets the hang of it and is comfortable gliding down the driveway; and then simply when one is confident enough the simply gradually add in some pedaling to the routine gliding down the driveway onto the roadway exercise till one is fully confident in controlled pedaling of one's Lectric XP bike; do not rush the process and simply proceed at one's own self actualized pace and progress; soon you will be Lectric XP biking without any problems whatsoever; also one may want to upgrade one's flat style handlebar that comes stock with one's Lectric XP bike with one that is also a flat style handlebar but who is about five inches longer across in the width dimension; this will add even more control and stability to one's overall biking experience; simply have the local bike shop handle the actual needed details of doing the upgrade work for the best positive outcome so they can also recommend and work with you to make all the major and/or minor optimal anticipated or needed adjustments to the upgraded handlebar as well as the remounting of all the original handlebar mounted components back onto the new upgraded handlebar also as well; that way you can more optimally and readily start enjoying your new Lectric XP new found safe highly enjoyable biking experience; the local bike shop that I use locally is very pro bicycle customer modification friendly and so should the one that you select to use also as well; keep searching for the local bike shop who will work with you in terms of being bicycle customer modification friendly as they are likely to be needed for any potential future bicycle modification project upgrade work that you may have in mind to add even more overall optimal enjoyment of your new Lectric XP bicycle.

    I’d like to get the same mirrors as you installed, but my grips seem to cover a handlebar that terminates with a plastic plug/cap. That plug is covered by the contoured grip with just a small hole in the rubber to see the plug capping the tube. It does not appear easy to remove the grips without damaging them. Would a solution be drilling out the small hole in the end of the rubber contoured grip to open up the path past the plastic plug/cap to the hollow tube of the handlebar?

Have you seen anyone selling an indoor trainer for stationary riding on the Lectric? We live in Wisconsin and want to be able to ride indoors during the winter. I saw your video on riding in the snow, and agree I don't want to get meted snow (water) on the working or electric parts of the bike. Plus, it is just too damn cold to ride outdoors......
