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!!!

I'm liking this video for the perfectly timed bell chime synced with the pop.off of the grip. Bravo.

I’m really enjoying your videos hopefully I’ll be getting one in the spring.

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.

Watched your video and didn't have any problems changing out the handlebars. I did feel the throttle cable was a little tighter than before because of the extra reach so I changed how they were wrapped up to give a little slack in the wire. Appreciate you videos.

Wow! The grip removal tip is GREAT! Now I won't have to cut the old and install new.

Thanks for mentioning the ring near the throttle. Sometime after replacing my handlebars for some a little wider about two months ago , I found a ring on the garage floor and couldn't figure out where it came from. I hung on to it, knowing I'd figure it out sooner or later, and today I did!

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!

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..

Good job! I changed mine as well to a little taller and about 2 3/4 wider bars. Very nice difference. Even better control.

Great info Jerry thanks!

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.

I just changed my handlebars. It was easy following your video. Thanks!

the info for what I was looking for. Wife needs the handle bars set back closer to her. Will be ordering a new handle bar. Great Job. thanks for all the info

I really appreciate this video. I have a Lectric XPremium and I will be changing the bars and the hand grips. I am glad you showed how the new bars work when you fold down the bike. I will be using different grips but I liked how you showed how easy it is to replace them. Thanks again for all your videos on the Lectric bikes. I have had mine over a year now and really love it.

I just did this job, and your video was a great resource for advice. Love the new look and improved feeling of control! When it warms up some around here, I will watch your video again and change out the brake cylinders. I already have the parts. Thanks a lot, Jeremiah

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.

Great video 🤙🏽. This some great tips to work on a bike.

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.

They seem more comfortable and more natural in my opinion. More or a cruiser style.

Hi Jeremiah, so glad you posted this with the handle bars. I am 5'4 and I find that I feel unsteady with the steering because it feels like my hands are too close together and I tend to wobble with the steering. Can we put a bit longer handlebar, as well as a swept back so that it feels more stable and more like riding a regular bike?

Yes you can. The handlebars that I used are actually about 1.75” wider than the original Handlebars on the original bikes.

Hi Jeremiah, I did, in fact, order the handlebars and just received them. Neither my husband or I are comfortable with changing them out ourselves, so we will be having the bike shop do this for us. Thank you for the advice. Can't wait to try the bike with the new handlebars. I do have another question. My husband and I live in a 55+ condo community and we own an upstairs condo. As such, we keep our bikes under the covered staircase downstairs and bring the batteries inside when not in use. I did check with Lectric XP and they do not have a carry case for the batteries. I was wondering if you know of anyone that carries a protective carry case for the batteries. Thanks again, Linda

I do not personally have a storage bag for an extra battery but I seen this post the other day on the Facebook forum can’t verify it because I haven’t used it but thought it might help. facebook.com/groups/lectricebikesxp/permalink/2277385609060232/ Also if you were keeping your bikes stored outside in a community area I would definitely consider the kryptonite chain lock and also a cheap alarm that are both available on Amazon in my Amazon affiliate store linked in most of my videos.

Jeremiah, will i have to cut a hole in my stock lectric grips to get the mirror on?

Yes you would.

Great video. I decided to order the handle bars. Amazon say unavailable. Wondering if you have any suggestions on another one might work. My step thru is coming Tuesday can’t wait. Thanks

Jeremiah, does these mirrors work on the original handgrips that come with the lectic bike. Do you have to cut out the rubber on the end. Thanks

Yes they will work with the factory handlebars and yes you will have to cut a hole in the end of the grip.

Hey Jer, I have a 2.0 coming in a week and have already purchased grips, thanks to your video, but, understanding your desire to replace the exact arrangement, is there any reason you couldn't have moved the accelerator a bit down the bar without cutting the grips?

@JeremiahMcintosh

I mean maybe but you would have to move the other grip in to match and it would make it a more narrow grip when using throttle. Most people want a wider grip.
