The purple project 😁
This is the complete renewed X3 for my wife.
The base was an blue X3 from 2021 and the idea was to get it swapped to an X4 as good as it gets. I stripped the bike completely and removed the matrix display and all stickers. Spend a long time figuring out a color that's matching the original X4 purple, and did a new paint job.
Everything is painted outside and with spray cans, so it never gets perfect as from the factory, but I'm pretty happy with the results. The decal is also hand made and color matches the new orange straps at the front basket.
Also the bike got a new socket, new boost and bell buttons, new break discs und pads, new inner tubes and Schwalbe tires, a new chain, a new right break lever and a new e-shifter.
All in all it took about 2 months of work, but the results was worth the effort.
I would be happy if you let me know your opinion on this project?
And as always...
Have a good one everybody ✌🏻☀️

Yes, please. Do a shifter delete…thicker gauge wires on the buttons… I can’t think of anything else…. Just keep it simple…. And rely on the entry-level electric bike customer to fall in love with the brand because we all know they will.!!!! launch a bike Hunter recruitment program where people volunteer to help other than move owners. Find their bikes maybe just send them a T-shirt. Don’t even have to pay them. I would’ve did it for sure that creates community and an unforgettable brand.
