Lectric XP 2 0 adjustable stem

[@rodneybosco7376]

Where the handlebar used to go you can install an 8” long accessory bar. This will take care of the cover issue and it allows you to add parts that might not fit on the regular bar, such as a more powerful light for night riding.

[@patriciaannmitchell-braxto1239]

I'm so happy I followed your video and was able to do the install. In addition I used an old rubber hand grip to put in between the previous location of the handle bars to.stop the rattling noise. I wish I could attach a picture.

[@marlasguitar]

Where do you get an 8 inch accessory bar? Can you give me specifics? I have a wide led light I want to add

[@willingj1]

052524 I followed your video and was able to add the bike stem to my Lectric XP 2.0 after not riding it for 2 years because of the handlebars. I rotated them, but was unable to fold the bike appropriately to transport it in a storage bin in my car. Your video made me reverse my earlier action and install the bike stem. It's been great. I have not experienced the "tiller" handlebar issue. I had a great bike ride today around the neighborhood with no issues. Although, my left hand still gets numb, but not as bad as before. Thanks for sharing this simple fix. It has been a godsend and has enabled me to begin riding my lectric ebike again!

[@rkeefer58]

I wanted to thank you for this video. I bought the part off amazon and put it on my standard XP 3.0 and I LOVE IT! works perfect. I ordered another for my Wife's XP 3.0. I found the handlebars are closer to you and I can turn on a dime without feeling shaky. For Lectric xp or others it's a must have. THANKS AGAIN! 🇺🇸

[@ghoneyp1718]

Thank you...

[@tenncutt]

Thought this was a good idea but see my update below. UPDATE! Wife rode her bike today with this modification, she didn't get 10 ft before she was complaining about the weird steering and demanding that I ride it! So I did and it sucked!! You are no longer steering normally by rotating the steering stem with the bars! Instead you are turning the steering stem with a tiller! You have to swing the the handlebars instead of turning them. It wasnt bad when going straight but when turning it was awful and dangerous. My wife has medical issues and this was the last thing she needed. There is a reason you are the only KZbinr pushing this idea. In my opinion don't do this mod! Instead buy a TurtleNeck stem and bmx bars from DavidBrandNew and adjust your bars to any angle you want plus it looks way cooler than stock or this mod. This mod is awkward and dangerous in my opinion. No offense brother, just telling it like I see it

[@rvrguyd]

Some folks add an accessory bar. For me I just made a wooden spacer, painted it block and put the screws back in. Some people just leave the cap off.

[@jackblah5842]

Any modification to a normal steering stem will change how the bike handles but you are 100% correct that this breaks the steering geometry. When you move the bars to the other side of the pivot point from the axle it requires you to move the bars in the opposite direction of what is normal. Calling it a tiller is a great description, when you move a tiller to the left the boat goes right.

[@Lerxst3333]

Thank you! Just bought two for my 3.0’s on the way after seeing a post on FB. The old post can be used for a go pro camera mount.

[@georgeferrone1867]

Works great the xp3.0 had to make the bars thicker - I had to get new bars but the extension works perfectly once you get the right bars

[@Bobster986]

Why not put a straight bar where the handlebars were like an extension bar? 😊

[@AKing99]

I am looking at doing this and put a a straight bar in the original mount and add additional lights , GoPro, etc, to help keep the main handle bars less busy, especially centering light

[@rvrguyd]

I later added a piece of plastic pipe to hold my phone and a better road light for night rides.

[@kennethburton8176]

You don’t leave a link to buy this

[@Jaeamythomas]

Hey there! This is so great. Thank you for the video. Is there a certain size you purchased for the stem size?

[@craiglenhard-rvrguyd]

Yes. It's in the description early in the video. This info is for the 2.0.

[@cruizlee214]

How does it affect folding the bike?

[@craiglenhard-rvrguyd]

It folds perfectly unlike what happens if you turn the stem backwards.

[@frjeff]

What size to order for the Lectric XP 2.0 or 3.0?

[@craiglenhard-rvrguyd]

There is a short and longer version. Here is the longer version www.amazon.com/dp/B07QNPQPTZ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

[@gbertrr]

I have the xp3.0 what would I buy for it to work???

[@freddym7425]

Where do you buy them

[@craiglenhard-rvrguyd]

Amazon has a wide selection. Just make sure you get the correct size for your stem and handlebar.

[@Sonnydaz]

What measurement determines the handlebar size? Mine measures 7/8” which I assume is the 1.24 mm

[@craiglenhard-rvrguyd]

If you have a Lectric bike the stock handlebar is 25.4 mm or about 1". See 58 seconds into video for the part I ordered. If you truly have a 7/8" dia. handlebar, you would be closer to a 22 mm. 1.24 mm is close to 1/16" so something is off in your measurement.

[@Sonnydaz]

@@craiglenhard-rvrguyd Hey Craig, got it going and I do like the new fix. Control is the main issue comfort another. The adjustable stem has taking care of both issues. Thanks for your post as well as your reply. I would have responded sooner but YT has changed a couple of things and I had a problem replying. Thanks again

[@petethehawk5186]

Common handlebar sizes are 25.4mm and 31.8mm which is measured at the center. Usually the usable parts of the bars are 22mm. The clamp sizes will match the center width.

[@dalepress1581]

Would this work on the Jasion EB7?

[@craiglenhard-rvrguyd]

I just looked at a picture on Amazon www.amazon.com/Jasion-Removable-Commuting-Brushless-Suspension/dp/B09L63HGDP/ref=asc_df_B09L63HGDP&mcid=392b2ca1d0d33ba0bd8d86c3cf168ecf?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80401977760463&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4584001440650807&th=1 It looks like it already has an adjustment installed. You could certainly turn it 180 degrees and adjust the angle if you wanted to bring it closer to your body.

[@josephwoods9800]

That's an EB5. EB 7 is non-adjustable.

[@2Henhouse]

What brand trunk do you have and does it fit the stock rack well?

[@rvrguyd]

No trunk.

[@howardwatts4238]

What did it do for you

[@rvrguyd]

Less pressure on wrists, less numbness.

[@steveross7887]

I got Triwonder 31.8 X 110mm for my XP 2.0 Step Thru. When I mount my handlebars, they don't tighten up. What am I doing wrong?

[@craiglenhard-rvrguyd]

The stem and the handlebar pipes are different diameters. I can only assume that what you bought has a 31.8 on both ends.

[@steveross7887]

@@craiglenhard-rvrguyd the stem fits great, but the mounting of the handle bars won't tighten. 31.8 X 28.6

[@craiglenhard-rvrguyd]

@@steveross7887 you must have the 25.5 not the 28.6. See video at 57 seconds for the spec. It's easy to buy the wrong size on Amazon if you are not careful. I suppose you could add a shim if you have some thin stock. Best to return and get the correct size.

[@russell5530]

The 25.5 one is it the 90 mm or 110 mm that I would need have a xp 2.0

[@craiglenhard-rvrguyd]

@@russell5530 the 90 or 110 is the length of the arm. For shorter people the 110 will give you more adjustment options in conjunction with raising the fork stem up or down.

[@timlist4173]

Now that you have had it on for a few months (I assume you have been out riding) how does it feel? Any control issues or height changes at the vertical pivot point?

[@craiglenhard-rvrguyd]

I rode it last year quite a bit after the installation and had no issues. The wife, who is smaller, liked the position so I will be installing one on her bike. Since the longer bar between pivot points adds great flexibility, I think you would like it and if not, it's not a lot of money.

[@timlist4173]

@@craiglenhard-rvrguyd I tried to loosen the handlebars up just to tilt them a little (and to measure them), and they seem to be a non standard size on mine, a 4mm is too small and a 5mm is too big. I don't have a 4.5mm or the SAE equilivent hex wrench. Did you have that issue?

[@rvrguyd]

@Tim List I did not have that issue but I have SAE and metric so one or the other worked. Most Chinese stuff would be metric.

[@richardmackenzie3167]

What size is the stem 25.4 or 31.8 on a 2.0

[@craiglenhard-rvrguyd]

Stem is 31.8

[@gypsygrandma9291]

​@@craiglenhard-rvrguyd I ordered 31.8 and just put it on my bike and my handlebar is apparently smaller than that. Did they make different ones for different years?

[@craiglenhard-rvrguyd]

@@gypsygrandma9291 I believe you may have ordered the wrong size. The handlebar is 25.4 and the stem is 31.8mm. See the Amazon spec sheet at 56 sec into the video.

[@geneleccompte-be5xs]

Will this work on a 3.0 also

[@rvrguyd]

I imagine it will work if the stem and handlebar pipe sizes are the same size as their other models.

[@georgeferrone1867]

You need new bars the xp3.0 is too thick just get new bars and works great

[@reneeevers]

Thanks for posting. Music was irritating tho....

[@rvrguyd]

Yes, got a editing program to deal with that issue.

[@effpdx]

Totally agree about the music. Otherwise a great tutorial.

[@billpoilkj]

If you bought a bike with a post handlebar, you didn't do enough research before buying.YUCK

[@craiglenhard-rvrguyd]

Ebikes come with price points that can vary by thousands of dollars and since riders came in all shapes and sizes, a bike is not a "one size fits all" piece of equipment so, to address such issues one might find that a stem like this helps or fixes a problem they might have. For many a $25 fix is ok instead of buying a bike costing 4k.
