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.
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 !
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 !
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?
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.
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.
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!
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. 🤔
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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?
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?
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.
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
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
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 !
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
Did you fix it, I saw another RU-vid video, guy had same problem out the box but found the cable was loose, tightening it solved the gear change problem
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?
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
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?
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?
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. 👌👍
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!!!
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???
I like the look but that +- button should be within reach without letting go of the handlebars. I am constantly switching pedal assist modes where I ride to get around tight obstacles blocking trails etc, too bad it couldn't reach the left top bar position.
