The handlebars really change the look and handling of the whole bike. Best upgrade.

[@davidlittlefield2483]

Great video Andy. I love the mod. Can't wait to see the big motor mod!

[@keithswan]

Andy, a link to stem & bars would be handy. Thanks

[@laytonhope1177]

Hi Andy can't wait to see what u doing with this one butty as I'm going to be doing the same on my ep2 500w Cheers

[@ashleydavies282]

Great video. Little tip for getting handlebar grips off - poke the straw from a can of WD40 or similar underneath and squirt a bit down there, should twist right off. Just remember to clean it off if you're replacing with new grips.

[@k1ortia]

Or compressed air

[@pickledpixel]

Useful info! Thank you!

[@lebikes]

Yeah this trick works a treat, takes a couple of seconds as opposed to fighting to twist the grips off

[@girlsdrinkfeck]

i always used furniture polish to get grips off ,lift them up a bit with a sponger and spray polish into them and work ya way down, polish is also great for lubing door hinges in ya home !

[@groundskeeper5292]

Looks great with those bars. Real hooligan style. Could definitely get up to some trouble on it now.

[@nickojohnodtujan2795]

BMX bar is the best upgrade on my fatty (20") e-bike too. Night and day difference. Stability at its finest.

[@simonhadley6965]

you have made me buy the EP-2 :). been looking for an e-bike for going out and about and this one seems to fit the bill and isnt really expensive. and im a new sub.

[@Geordie77]

Informative and interesting. Love watching the videos. Bike looks brilliant

[@custom4lif3]

Brilliant video, can’t believe that you are doing the conversion, that’s what I want to do, I have sent you an email . Great work!

[@tdog1461]

I bought a similar stem and it came with little spacer things to fill in the gap under your new handlebar setup

[@mountainlion4853]

Ah yeeeah, Andy that intro music just lit me up 😎. 1. The old school BMX steerer expander is good but if your arms are jacked they tend to fail loosing their grip. But this is usually doing crazy stuff on them and I know your not that inclined hehe. 2. The new handlebars are ace, they really transformed the look for the better with more confidence and control. Looking forward to the next upgrade !

[@ThePackDad]

Just ordered parts to do this on my Rad Mini 4 in the States. Using a Jones H-Loop bar now and it's just awkward. Feel like I'm flapping my arms like a dodo bird. Upgraded the controller and display last year with the stock 500w motor. A 750 arrives in a few days. Thanks for the handlebar tip !! Been looking forward to the change.

[@kingbowser6271]

The measurements for the stem were really useful, thank you!

[@Velvetmerckin]

Whatever happened to the 40 mph video with the upgraded battery and motor for the Engwe?

[@peterjol]

I have to say those handlebars really did make that bike look a lot better

[@DecaffeinatorZero]

Thanks for the links, bought the parts to do this too!

[@yoshii793]

Another fab video. Bike does look awesomeHappy new year to you. what was power and top speed before and after the mod. can this do normal peddling, cruise and pedal assist?

[@I2383R]

This is the type of bike Halford should be selling, better than the boring 20" ones they have for sale. Good video Andy👍

[@kevinjking7026]

Cool mods Andy. I've got a Hitway BK6, and I really dislike that long folding stem. I'm fitting BMX handlebars this coming week.

[@petermainwaringsx]

Thanks for another interesting video. I modded my ten year old mountain bike with a 48WH battery and a legit (but boring) 250 Watt TSDZ motor. Torque sensing with no thumb throttle. About thirty miles range around Gower with two lows to near sea level, and one climb to five hundred feet. £401 plus some bike tools which I didn't have. Two years and still going well so roll on some drier and warmer weather. How about some two meters or seventy cms bike mobile. 🤔

[@dillonseeney3149]

Looks mint keep up on the bike videos man

[@photomad8829]

Brilliant new subscriber enjoying your videos .. Good to see the Town Park 👍

[@jr.3650]

Yo, andy i got the same bike same color. I did the same thing, change the handlebars. But i also put a rear bafang 750w wheel hub with a 35 amp controller and a CSC front 1500w hub wheel with a 35amp controller too. Got a motorcycle signal switch and i installed front and rear signal lights front headlights, rear tail lights a horn. Change the gearing on it, hydraulic brakes. All i need is another big battery im saving to get one. Dude I done a lot of stuff to it and it fun and fast. Wish i could send you a pic. Well cant wait to see what you going to do to your fat bike. I know it going to be fast really fast Good luck mate!

[@CleveStarke]

It reminds me of the old Raleigh Grifter. Very cool I’ve got the engine pro and the bars are definitely getting swapped out.

[@choppedminx]

I have a barracuda rogue 20x4 fat bike (36v 250w). I've changed the controller for a 1000w version and added a 52 volt battery ,it runs great with the stock 250w motor .Great acceleration and a top speed of around 25mph

[@A1Bokeh]

Nice it didn't fry the motor or Anything?

[@choppedminx]

@@A1Bokeh no problems at all at the moment, and I abuse it 😉

[@A1Bokeh]

@@choppedminx freakin awesome

[@lukewalker1051]

Dig what you are doing Andy. You know your stuff. A few companies make this style bike...maybe the same frame for all different brands Lectric XP 2.0 I believe is similar as an example.. I would like to hotrod one of these also. Put an aftermarket big amp controller inside the top tube and have a high amp 72V 20 amp-hr + battery made or make one yourself with bluetooth BMS in a shark type battery case with 21700 high discharge cells and screw it to the top tube which is square-ish and would be very solid. I want one of these for fooling around on as well. Cheers from the other side of the pond which is still the wild west for ebikes.

[@AnthondeVries]

i wanted to replace just the handlebar but doing this makes it look zo much more awesome, i'm gonna do this too

[@renatogalego1614]

Much much nicer! Congratulations.

[@DarrenHumphries]

I know im late but dang! That looks better than i would have thought! Reminds me of the Raliegh BMX i loved as a teen.

[@chrisgames6613]

Nice job. Better than others that I've seen.

[@jermainecampbell7008]

Big up Andy its your number one fan, bike looking good, I've got the A20f. I'll like to show you my external upgrades some how if you like, however I'm very interested in your engine mods.

[@troyboy4345]

That looks sweet, get thee sen a nice big head lamp on it pal ! .... great video, i have just ordered the Fiido M1 pro and i am going to do what you have done ... sweeeeeet !

Can you let me know how it goes with the handlebar mod on the M1 pro. As I have that bike too. And would like to do the same.

Really great video, i'm looking to do the same to my Engwe 'clone' from china 😀Thanks for sucha a great vid!

[@34JOSH212]

Dude I work in Central Park ny and living in Brooklyn , I ordered this bike and waiting for shipping, my home to work it’s like 5 miles and I’ll go to work with this , and can’t wait to upgrade to bmx handler thank u

Love the ebike videos 👍

[@peteneilson8030]

Great vidros andy just got a question you had a engwe ep2 pro im gonna/ want to be putting 12 bike headlamps on my ep2 pro any idea were or how i get a live from the battery cheers Pete

[@RadiationNetwork]

I have the same caliper with the cover that falls off. If you lost the cover just put a 25 cent LR44 battery in it and a layer of electrical or rubber tape to hold the battery in.

[@alanread8468]

Hi Andy" luv you're vids buddy, is this the engwe ep2 pro upgraded version, if so, what is the largest ah battery that will fit inside this frame,

[@Kdr-eh6qk]

Whoa 😳 great job 👏

[@dennisking4719]

Good looking bike, the Carrera model looks simular to the one I own

[@gregwhite9473]

Love your videos I have a juiced city scrambler with a the same 750 Motor will you guys supply a bigger motor that goes into that same rim?? And at the same time Cell a controller for it thank you very much keep up the good work

[@eburyseptember1972]

Andy,great video and looks so much better with the mods.Dont know if you've already seen it but an American youtuber @DavidBrandNew did the same but he also modded to be folding BMX handlebars and it looks cool👍👍Is the Engwe EP-2 better than the ADO a20f?

[@pornobob]

Would the stem adapter fit in the filing part if I cut it off? So I could use BMX bars that can still fold and maybe have them a bit higher off the frame.

[@MCMOutdoors]

Andy, any links or info re swapping the brakes around? Cheers.

[@nomorewars1366]

@Andy Kirby Any links to to handle bars and clamp awesome video just bought one of these bikes

Loving the first mod Andy, great vid, awesome tunes to end with..... keep it going sir!

[@Yahoomediaclub]

Awesome handlebars cruiser style ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ great modern hack buddy...Love the camo jacket too!! Where did u purchase?

[@jamiedavison13]

Im intrigued by what you're going to do to this bike. I have a barracuda rogue 20" fat bike. I do find the 250w motor is lacking. May look at possibly d Putting a 1000w conversation kit on it and seeing how that goes. I shall be watching this.

[@soulis1000]

Isnt it a 750w from the start?

[@piccini51]

Is there any way you can put those handlebars with the folding mechanism? Get both of both worlds?

[@34JOSH212]

U Nailed it yo !

[@supernova1976]

Those BMX handlebars really transformed this bike , you always have good taste mate. i want the same bar on my mountain bike , my back and shoulders cant handle leaning over . was yours the 9 inch or higher?

[@yodab.at1746]

I've also wondered what mine would look like with BMX handle bars and a low seat. Pretty sick I reckon

[@gosurvivaljoe]

If ya just want to kill the grips, and don't see a future use for em' a blade will make short work of em! Also, nice ride, I'm doing some serious mods to a similar style ride, I look forward to seeing what you do with this ride!!!

[@mcampbell10777]

you should be able to increase the rpm settings on the display unit to give it more boost.

[@matty25982]

What sort of speeds are you getting from this as stock on just pure electric throttle mode? Considering getting one directly from engwe (uk warehouse) but not sure if it will be restricted due to eu regulations?

[@akaibfitness7143]

Amazing! I will do the exact same. Dude I'm 5"10 how is it with the handler bar is it not too low?

[@drummygooders]

Andy mate, you can get spacers to fill that gap under the stem. Any bmx shop should sell them.

[@Crosshatch1212]

Nice job similar to mine now lol ,im gonna send for a stem, I've done it bit dffrnt cheers, I've just bhought a better charger

[@lebikes]

Like the way you've modded the bike, although is the display a bit too low? Especially in bright sunlight? As you did this a year ago, have you done any more mods on it?

[@vichaon]

Hi Andy, is the rear light directly transferable to the frame when you remove the carrier or did you use some sort of brackets?

[@justiceforthelpa6228]

Hi, did you buy the 25.4 stem or the other one?

[@Yami-rv4ki]

FINALLY and ENGWE bike mod, i like the bike visually so much

[@maxv77]

Hi Andy. Will theses handle bars fitted the Fiido M21 ? And if I did fit them onto my (just waiting for delivery of my new Fiido) bike. Will I have to also change the brake cables or will they be long enough? Cheers

[@Cartsp70]

Omg SO THATS WHY THE STEM WOBBLES LIKE f**k ! Ridiculous design! Great video 🎉

[@OF1C14L1]

Hi which bike would you recommend for commuting to work (5miles) and back Fiido m1 or the engwe ep-2

[@michaelhoremans1337]

Nice. How did you mounted the rear light? I want to remove the rack on the back to

[@h4rdant074]

at one point i thought you worked for mc donalds, cause your lovin it. but i luv it too

[@mr1erl]

I have put a 52T in front, now it`s more relaxed. Now i`m looking if it would be possible to put a torque censor on it. So the power is more controllable.

[@rickardkevaanranta7808]

If you would like to have a higher sitting position, would the BMX handle bars sit too low you think? Maybe a longer stem will fix that?

[@TheOffroader7458]

You need to get into 3D printing, very handy for making Mount's for controller's and stuff

[@jackcrilly980]

Do u need the quill stem or could u just use the silver bit that you see when you take off the folding bars

[@MayhemJRA]

Just need a few MTB stem spacers for under the stem?

[@alexlee3671]

Hi Andy, great ebike videos!. I took the plunge and bought the Engwe Ep-2 pro. I'm no bike expert, but my gear shifts aren't working, and wondered if you came across that or not. If not could you offer any advice?. Thanks

[@taroitofilau3983]

Did you fix it, I saw another KZbin video, guy had same problem out the box but found the cable was loose, tightening it solved the gear change problem

[@MrMusic55123]

How were you able to stick the rear light without the rear rack? I can't figure out where to mount the rear ligh

Hi Andy.. I have the 500watt model ..is it possible to add a front 500 watt motor ..making it a 2x wheel drive for off roading ( bush crafting) ?.. if so can you supply the necessary kit ?..Alan

[@sicosis]

Andy....if n when you have issues with tight handlebar grips in the future, as long you won't use the ones your taking off, try using fairy liquid instead or some kinda lube....works every time 😉 is there a price for one of those fold up ebikes ? They do look comfy 🤔 Thinking of flogging my vector typhoon, find something less obvious! Lol

[@andrewreid380]

Starting to see why you didn't show taking the stem off, I can't get mine of the bolt is stuck it's driving me nuts.

[@zjzozn]

Great vlog…. 14 going on 50 😂👍⭐️

[@simonjohnhinton1938]

I have an engine x which I'm happy with. I was thinking of fitting a bigger toothed crank though as the 7 speed tourney is a bit short on the gearing. don't particularly like the idea of ghost peddaling. it would be a cheaper and less aggro option to fit a 52+ tooth ring. what do you think?

[@scottvallance2007]

Andy is your kirbebike website down, I can’t get on it.

[@hotrod40hec1]

Nice looking e bike I want do something like this but with 13" ape handle bars

[@ziganzag1]

Get some black 1 1/8" mtb spacers for your stem to tidy it up 🤙🏻🤙🏻

Came here to say this. No need to cut down the stem

Is there a cheap battery mod for the super 73 s2 as the chi system is £1000 just want more range thanks

[@El-Tel63-Terry.]

Excellent 👍🏻😉

[@ryansara3398]

With the quill stem the torque you want to do the bolt upto is around about tight AF 🤣

[@idostuff8851]

I don't know about you, but the more that I Google looking for a new bike as a doner for some big power mods, the 20" fat bike is where its at, a lot look exciting. Especially if a 8kw motor paired with a 200a controller, it will either be hours of high power fun or 5 minutes of dangerous hair raising fun...

[@mikepagani6996]

HI Andy can u recommend any 72v battery sellers ideally 21700 packs

[@BertAndSmokey]

I have a mammoth fat tyre and love it untill the chain come off and done my sensor in. Still got throttle but the milage has halved 18 miles top speed is 20mph with me on it around 18. The sensor is solderd to the control panel. Would you recommend i cut the sensor wires and attach a new one or will that be useless. Be great if you could get back to me will make a short video to show you what i mean thanks Bert&Smokey. 👌👍

Hi sir, what size of your bike handle bar that you modify in the engwe? Thanks

That's the dogs gonads now!! I've avoided this last year and went for a different eBike specifically cos of how weird it looked like that. I bet there must be a way to still make something that's adjustable and not that high???

Hey, how did you attach the rear light? I have removed the rack and the guards but I can’t find a way to attach the lights

[@IAM-iv1oz]

What is the range on this stock bike? Without any battery upgrade or rear hub motor change? The company site does not have that data available.

What's the difference between these and the Engwe engine Pro?
