Best Electric Bike Mirror (Hafny) Review & Installation Tips on Lectric XP Plus Ebike Tool Tips

I personally believe I have finally found the Best Electric Bike Mirrors for the Lectric XP handlebars or any other folding ebike that has a similar frame design.
This is a detailed electric bike mirror review on 2 different Hafny Brand Mirrors. These mirrors seem to be perfectly fit to complete the accessories on my Lectric XP and solve the issue of not being able to see behind me adequately. In the past, other bike mirrors that I've tested were not long enough, secure enough, clear enough, or created a safety issue that could cause a crash if the mirror hit something.
In this video, you will see how these mirrors are extremely easy to install next to the left grip (as long as you have a 5mm and 3mm hex (allen) key wrench. You can either look into getting the grip and mirror combo set or get these mirrors individually. They are automotive-grade mirrors to give you a crystal clear reflection of what is behind you and distortion free. Hafny also offers a glare free blue tinted glass mirror for even more clarity, but the silver standard mirrors were perfectly fine as shown in this video.

I purchased the Hafny Bar End Bike Mirror HF-MR083, works great on my lectric XP. I purchased this bar end type mirror mainly for the convenience when folding the XP bike to transport.

@EbikeProducts 3 жыл бұрын

Mmmm, maybe I should consider that model for the right side of my Lectric XP? I don't usually go for end of bar mirrors, but that one might be worth trying if I need to be able to see on my right side.

Right side mirrors are good for heavy trafficked streets where cars go into right turn lanes to the right of the bike lane. Now I need to buy a right side mirror🙂

I like the electric driver/torque wrench. Makes it easy not to over tighten small hardware

@pedrofernandez8729 3 жыл бұрын

I first got a cheap mirror with a longer extension but the shaking from the handlebars made it almost useless. So I got this instead and it works perfectly well. Since I always ride on the right side, I have no use for a right side mirror.

@EbikeProducts 3 жыл бұрын

That is almost the same story I lived through. Cheap mirrors are as good as no mirrors as they bounce around too much or aren’t clear.

Take an icepick and a bottle of water, slide the pick under the grip with the end of the grip toward the ground. Lift it enough water will flow into the grip, remove ice pick and slide grip off.

Oh man! I just remembered we used to do that when I was a kid (which was only about 4 decades ago lol) and totally forgot about that technique! Thanks so much for the tip and refreshing my memory. Ugghh...I feel so silly now struggling so hard to get it off. I should've thought back to how I used to do it back then when I was much smaller.

Did you say those handlebar grips were actually softer than the og XP grips? My hands always go to sleep. Thanks!! Husband and I live your videos you do an amazing job!!😊

@EbikeProducts 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement! Yes, the grips are softer than the stock ones that come with the ebike, but not by much. If you’re hand are going to sleep, try seeing if you have any room to move your seat forward and bring your handlebars closer to you by rotating them a little. Just a small adjustment on either (even 1 inch forward on the seat) can make a huge difference. Many seats have rails where the post attaches to it and often is centered when installed. This gives room to loosen and push the seat forward which will give you a little more upright position and less pressure on your hands.

Just received my Haney mirror today. But I ordered the mirror that goes into the end of the handle

@EbikeProducts Жыл бұрын

How do you like it? I changed my mind from liking the long arm type to the end of bar type like yours. It’s really easy to install and see behind me without my body in the way.

Hey, kinda off-topic, Idk if you ever rode in heavy or continuous rain yet, but what do you use to protect the display screen and other possible wiring that could get exposed to water? Any suggestions? Maybe you can make a review video on that and what are the fastest amp battery chargers as well

@EbikeProducts 3 жыл бұрын

Here in Los Angeles County it hasn’t rained much. I am going to carry a ziploc bag so if it does rain while I am out I can put it over the display. The bike is rated to handle rain so the only other part I’d really worry about is the PAS buttons and would cover that with something too.

so are the mirrors electric or are they just mirrors that are still adjusted by manual manipulation?

I purchased this mirror for my Aventon Sinch, my question is the left side has the throttle and the pedal assist and turning on the bike buttons, can I move all that stuff in for this?

@EbikeProducts 3 жыл бұрын

If the there is enough open space on the handlebar to fit, then moving those parts over should be easy. You may want to also make sure that anything you need a lot of access to (like the throttle) stays within a reasonable reach with the mirror bracket moving them further from the grips. On the Lectric XP 1.0, there was barely enough free handlebar space to add it, but it did work out in the end and I think you should be able to as well.

I really like tools and felt it would be helpful to share the tools that would help make doing things on the ebike faster.

She will learn that not having the right tool and torque either breaks/strips the expensive part or the part will loosen and swivel off in the middle of heavy traffic. If one doesn’t like tools, be friends with a competent mechanic/bike-shop.

You know you've always got good videos but you advertise the electric bike too much
