LPT: Use segments of old bike tubes to create rubber spacers for accessories that don't fit your bars.
@Saddletramp12002 жыл бұрын
Hi, I understand your thinking. I took a 31.8 bolt on stem put i just below the handlebar post facing me. Put long aluminum bars in it & transfered everything to the bars. Use a short straight tube for my stuff.

These style of ebikes look great with BMX bars, they actually kinda look like BMX bikes and less like ebikes with those handlebars, blends more with other cyclists.

yeah it should. and yeah for the engine pro model you do not need the extension tube. you can put the stem directly onto the forks as they extend past the top tube of the frame. so just get a stem and handlebars :)

Quick question... the link you provide to the stem riser adapter has two different size options for the diameter of the thinner/bottom portion of the riser adapter (apparently called the "steerer tube" diameter)... 22.2mm or 25.4mm . Which of these diameters do we need for the Engine Pro? Thanks ahead of time!!
