BMX'd my Lectric XP

[Dallant]

I love the Tri-Cities area. Its growing quite a bit and offers a LOT more than Yakima does in every aspect. The river is amazing too. I'm kind of stuck here because of work, but if we ever opened an office there I wouldn't hesitate to move. Besides it being really dry and brown everywhere, it's probably my favorite place in Washington.

Yeah I kind of miss it. Did a lot of sailboarding on the Columbia back in the ‘80’s.

Who makes that frame?

Price point for what you are describing would be closer to 2-2.5k

Yamee Fat Bear 500w has all of those specs and runs for $1200.

That's not who made the frame. They just branded one of the many frames that the shops in Shenzhen can make.

So nobody has done this to the 2.0 yet?

This is great. I would like to do this, but I don't think I have the tooling to get the grips off properly. And I'm not sure I want to change out the stem.

Took the Lectric XP out for a spin today. My son made it into a BMX which wouldn't have been my first choice, but it does seem a little safer and easier to ride. He used a decent front end from Alibaba and I added the Suntour suspension seat post awhile back. He also upgraded the shifter to a SRAM and changed out the Chainring to a bigger size.

Looks like your son's setup is similar to mine. Have been running this for almost 2 years now. No issues, and my kid loves it. I have the kids seat that sits in front, and he cruises with me everywhere.

Yep, that's the same seat! We just went to his friend's 5 year old birthday party on it. He was all smiles, and lots of people are interested in the bike. It's a real conversation starter.

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!

I love your setup! I'm interested in how you went about doing the your and kickstand. Maybe I missed it somewhere in this forum but I never was able to find a post where you talked about the brands you used or how you went about installing those items, specifically the pegs. Did you have to drill your own holes in the pegs for the throttle line running into the axle, and if so, how'd you manage to make it look so clean? Also, what size pegs did you end up using, everything I've seen so far seems like its setup for 3/8" axles and I know the Lectric axles are bigger than that. Hope to hear back from you, thanks!
