BMX'd my Lectric XP

Did I mention I'm going to put a banana seat on it? Just for show. I'll use a real saddle on a dropper post for serious riding.

I was inspired by this BMX project and did something similar. I installed mine so that I could use the fold down bar and height adjust. I need to sit up straight due to back issues. I did not need to re-route any cables or purchase any special fork/stem, but did need to cut 2 inches off the insert post so I could drop the new bars all the way down to the lowest possible position so the cables could reach. New bars required additional rubber material to fit snug.

Question for you, Did you switch out your tires? or did you black out the letters? I was hoping to get rid of the white letters.
 
Other than getting splashed i dont think there's any other downside , but if you're going to be riding in the rain often i will do some research on the water splashing towards the key compartment on the front, Not sure if that will cause any problems

How do you like those tires. I was looking at those online the other night. My xp gets here Friday and I only will be riding street.

They are perfect , i also ride on smooth pavement and they're smooth and quiet compare to the stock ones
 
Just curious, did you remove the stock grips in the original bars? If so, what method did you use? I'm planning on reusing the stock ones on the new bars.

Like many of you I grew up on a BMX. My fondest bike memories come when I was riding my BMX, dozens and hundreds of miles as a child. It turns out with a little imagination our Lectric XP is a good candidate for conversion...

My mods were numerous: Bars, head, stem, grips, shifter, bell, pegs, and kickstand. Plus several hours installing it all and tidying up the wires.

Hope you like!

Diggin' your modifications... especially the bars and pegs. Great job on the cable integration with the rear peg and motor!

Yes, I used compressed air. Stuck the nozzle in one end and the other grip shot off, then repeat.
