Do you have the parts list for the handlebar swap ?
I want to do the same with handlebars just like those with an extra crossbar.

 

[TLJester]

LOVE the conversion !!
Can you share the parts list for the handlebar conversion?
I REALLY want to do this exact mod myself !

Do the handles still fold down well ?

I have to chuckle...Swagtron makes a full front and rear suspension folding 20" fat tire bike (model EB8)...with those same handlebars for $799. It actually looks much better than the modified Lectric projects.

Swagtron EB8 Foldable Fat Tire All-Terrain eBike, with Removable 36V Battery & 350W Motor Power – Swagtron

Cant find motor size

Looks like a 350w on the Swagtron (according to Amazon)... and from what I read, Swagtron support compared to Lectric's is lacking.

There is a Speedrid (Ancheer?) that also has front shocks but no BMX handlebars or rear suspension.

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

Great idea

The shorter handlebars left all my wires and cables too long. Chop chop...

 

[TLJester]

While you have all those lovely cables exposed... dont suppose you checked volts/amps etc for any of them?
Looking to hardwire a USB socket into the bike and assume there is SOMETHING already there i can just tap into
...maybe the headlight or controller display ?
5v 1-3amps would be PERFECT

Specs on the Swagtron aren't that great. I think the Lectric has it beat hands down. IMO

I actually enjoy modifying my bike to my liking , and lectric comes with a rack and fenders which are extra for the money you pay , plus the lectric guys seem to be reliable and helpful on any problems i might have in the future .

I checked them all, no 5v or 12v anywhere! So I made an easy plug in adapter. They are for sale.

5v USB outlet for Letric XP

Anyone found a way to add a USB charge port to our bikes? I have an idea; 60v to 5v step down converter with a USB plug for your phone that draws power from the headlight plug. About the size of a cigarette lighter. Any interest? I'm going to make a few once the parts arrive and I'll show...

Not sure why you would need a USB port. I keep a mini charger in my Rock Bros and have never had to use it. The more I read the more I realize most of us are nervous Nellie's and are overthinking it

I don't, others do. Have you seen the silly gadgets some hang on their handlebars?

The funny part is most of the Ebikers are old fuckers like me and worry warts. I love my bike rides, but to watch this forum is a hoot. Old dudes worrying about something that will never happen. But boy are we preprared!!

Lets see who can take the longest ebike ride. Today I rode 12 miles
