Lectric XP gets BMX Makeover | Meet the BMXP

[@subiesojourner777]

I really appreciate your calm, cool approach to your videos.

[@ChrisCrossed]

Thanks for watching

[@edstringer5499]

Pedal extenders a plus.

[@pondacres]

Yeh, the bmx bars really help the look of this bike for sure! DBN's turtleneck/bar has a fairly long lead time currently, so I ordered from Vitilan (for their I7PRO bike) instead. Hopefully it will fit the XP 3.0 w/o any mods.

[@ABC-po6be]

Hey, how did that work out? What did you think of the Vitilan bars? I'm thinking of getting them for my i7, but am also considering a custom setup and am looking for feedback/advice.

[@pondacres]

@@ABC-po6be Oh yeh man all good, that Vitalan setup is great if you want the bars to fold over like the stock bars, or like DBN's thing. I'm not even sure if I'll ever have the need to fold them over for storing/transporting, but nice to have that option. If you wanna see them, I got a vid of the bike with them mounted on.

[@ABC-po6be]

@@pondacres Good to hear that they worked for you. Keeping the folding aspect makes sense for me, though I do like the look of a custom handlebar setup without the turtleneck extension. I'll have to sleep on it for a bit. Thanks for the feedback, I'll check that video out. Cheers.

[@pondacres]

Yeh I played around with a couple ideas too, before getting the Vitalan bars. Good luck ABC, hit me up if you wanna bounce some thoughts around.

[@ABC-po6be]

@@pondacres Thanks, I appreciate that. I think that I'm going to go for some custom bars and just loosen the stem bolts to fold them down if need be. One question that I have, is where to find out what size stem quill adapter will fit the Vitilan i7 2.0?

[@chriselenes]

I LOVE the look of your bike. Just ordered the XP 3.0 long range, Black Friday special. I’m about to go order the Turtle Neck 2.0 stem from David Brand new now. Thanks for sharing!! Liked and subscribed ✅

[@ChrisCrossed]

Awesome

Dude this looks legit!! Thanks for the video!

[@ChrisCrossed]

Roger that!

[@joetactickle8266]

Nice have the exact same setup and added etsy rear light mount and baby blue reflective rim tape!

[@ChrisCrossed]

Yeah I have the rim tape just haven’t add yet

[@wayne7703]

Take the wire run it up to back of fender. Use stap wrapped around fender rear attachment to mount light on fender.

[@dmacell4110]

Looks great! Wow, my fenders are dead silent compared to those.

[@IQWhiteBear]

DavidBrandNew has a nice KZbin channel with info & vids on the stem & a bunch of cool other ebikes stuff.

[@franciscorodriguez159]

Hey Chris, I really like the way you have your lectric looking. The only thing I would suggest is to put back your taillight on your saddle I believe a working taillight with your brakes would look great. Walmart has a taillight bracket that will fit your saddle without a problem. Checking it out.

[@ChrisCrossed]

Thanks, i tried lookin on amazon for a taillight bracket but couldnt find one. In store Walmart?

[@lauriewhittle3452]

David, I really like this video. I am going to try this and can see how much better this will steer without the giraffe stem. Also, I found a good place for my water bottle instead of using up space where you have it mounted. If you just go buy a bottle cage and bottle (I bought a $14 one from Academy) and then buy bolts that fit in the Front Rack mounts, you can mount a bottle cage there and insert the bottle. Makes it very easy to get to and uses a space that most of us don't use for a rack. Also, can you put a link to the blue bracket you have for your handlebars. I have a Lectric 2.0 stepthrough.

[@danpayan9468]

A cool idea to put a solar panel chargerron bag or rack to get extra charge cell phone or battery

[@scubatrucker6806]

Cool grips💙

[@danpayan9468]

Nice BMX look. 👍

[@ChrisCrossed]

Thanks! 👍

[@714metaldetecting]

Looks amazing Chris ! love what you have done to the XP. i was thinking of changing out my pedal cranks to an anodized blue. Any recommendations on what size and where to get them ? i did the same brakes as you and i really like them. they look great and work well. was able to put them on in about an hour and get them dialed in. loving my build so far. thanks for all the vids and tips. keep em coming.

[@ChrisCrossed]

i think the peals are 9/16, in lieu of Amazon try SourceBMX.com

[@letricdeucedotzeroadventur376]

Awesome and I like the name BMXP that's clever

[@ChrisCrossed]

Thanks Lectric should trademark it, lol

A Teflon moto mag wheel look cool

[@Saddletramp1200]

Very nice. Get that valve core straight on the front wheel before you ruin he tube. Ask me how I know. 🙃

[@USAMOTORHOME]

Did you upgrade the freewheel to 11" and change the speed to 30 Miles per hour on the settings ??

[@ChrisCrossed]

Yes

[@GaryDGuitar]

On the sandstorm xp lite, with the stay strong bars, did you install a shim to make the bars fit?

[@SCTR7]

I’m in the process of converting my XP 2.0 to BMX

[@danpayan9468]

Thats cool im going to do the bmx bars on my 2.0 what stem is that and bars

[@macs4887]

Have you tried to take off the blue valve stem covers, I heard they get stuck on. nice looking though

[@ChrisCrossed]

yeah i have havent had any issues yet .

[@bigteedo_ev4905]

Nice!!

[@Gotittogo]

👍

[@FrankLadd]

Nice upgrades! Your front valve stem is crooked. It will wear and leak and you will not be able to patch it. I'd recommend you straighten it. KZbin will show you how.

[@ChrisCrossed]

yeah i noticed that, will do

[@davidwollmer8694]

Did you buy rubber spacers for the display unit? I bought the David brand new bar and it’s smaller. I have the 3.0

[@ChrisCrossed]

I did not

[@rickt1951]

Damn, it looks sharp. Did you do all the work yourself?

[@ChrisCrossed]

Everything except brakes and rotors, i farmed that out to my bike shop

[@rrjetpilot5436]

@Chris Crossed, how much better are the brakes after you upgraded to the bigger rotors and calipers? I have a 2.0 and the brakes are not that great. I'm looking to upgrade

[@ChrisCrossed]

I’d say they are a 70% better if I was giving a percentage..so much grip now.

[@rrjetpilot5436]

@@ChrisCrossed Thanks I might try your brake combo upgrade. Anything that will make my brakes better

[@docsspot1953]

Same here

[@wayne7703]

What would you need or use if you don’t need quick connect

[@DaveTidrick2]

Quick question. I bought the turtleneck and the quill stem you have listed. For some reason the quill stem does not drop all the way down into the head tube. Shouldn’t it go all the way in to where it flairs out?

[@ChrisCrossed]

To be honest I forget, check with David

[@Kntryhart]

If we are going to be honest, these ebikes can easily become money-pits. It would be more informative if you include the cost of the upgrades. I have an XP Lite. I have already exceeded the purchase price of the ebike in upgrades/changes/improvements and still do not have a front suspension fork!

[@ChrisCrossed]

There was a lot of parts on this one so didnt have time to calculate, its at least $300

[@Trillville43]

You can just look up the price has it could vary also there are links for everything.

[@elijahbrown6043]

Where or what mount is that you have for the display screen? Thx

[@ChrisCrossed]

It’s the original mount, I think I may have used some extra rubber pieces so it’s snug

[@BongToker]

What is the diameters of where the handlebar grips are and the throttle in the breaking system? Is the handlebar diameter 22.2mm? I know the fork size is 28.6mm

[@ChrisCrossed]

I think the handlebars are 31.8

[@BongToker]

@Chris Crossed That's the base of the handlebars where it clamps on. I'm trying to figure out the size of where the grips the throttle and the breaking system is is that 22.2 mm. I think it's Actually 28.6mm not 31.8

[@ChrisCrossed]

@@BongToker oh I see what you mean to be honest I’m not sure although it is small than the middle part

[@prawnstar502]

the bmx handle bar mod is for looks? or is there a function for them as well?

[@ChrisCrossed]

Looks basically

[@spnkithrd]

How do we order the stem in blue? and can we order the blue spacers or the quill adapter thru your site too?

[@ChrisCrossed]

DBN only sells the stem in black, you'll have to get the spacers on amazon

[@rickt1951]

Hi Criss I think I'm ready to do this. Curious question if I may. What did you get from DavidBrandNew? Was it just the Turtle Neck stem? Plus the Quill stem adapter also. and what is the correct measurement for the Stem Riser Adapter? I have the XP 2.0 Thank you for your awesome videos.

[@ChrisCrossed]

I just used the quill stem that came with the Lectric …just bought the turtleneck from David. I think he sells a bundle now that includes the quill stem?

[@rickt1951]

@@ChrisCrossed so I won't need the stem riser adapter then? If I do is it 25.4 m? Thank you.I just ordered the Turtle neck stem.

How did you get the old stem off the bike . the hex bolt is hard for me to remove.

just used my allen keys, was pretty easy

[@chrisgreenley5927]

When going to the 180 rotor dose that give you more clearance between the front spokes and caliper? Iv been wanting to do hydraulic brakes but due to clearance issues other people have had I have not but I really want to

[@ChrisCrossed]

Yes the extension give it more room to clear spoke.

[@chrisgreenley5927]

they are the same. I ordered from the links Chris posted and the extensions worked perfect.

Yes much better like that, all these bikes other than the FIIDO have those ugly stem and bar set up.

[@MikeHudson-px2gc]

Don't know why Lectric keeps using that badly designed stem they use. It's too far forward. Wake up Lectric.

I assume that will setup xp2 as well?

yep

[@Juice421fs]

After some time with your bars, do you think 10 inches is too much? Kinda leaning towards 9

9 Should be fine, Im tall so I wanted the most height i could get
