Pro taper bar pad

Equip your electric bike with reliable impact protection and a bold moto-inspired look using Pro Taper bar pads like the Pro Taper 2.0 Square Bar Pad, Pro Taper 8in Round Bar Pad, ProTaper Handle Bar Pads, or ProTaper Fuzion Bar Pad. These pads add impact cushioning, vibration resistance, and a clean finished look when your handlebars are equipped with a crossbar — the horizontal reinforcement tube common on BMX, dirt-style, and some electric mountain or trail bikes. 

🔧 What They Are & Why They Matter

Pro Taper pads are made from high-density, closed-cell foam covered in durable vinyl that resists water and debris. They wrap around your handlebar crossbar, protecting your chest and hands from direct contact during rides and adding a polished, motocross-inspired style.

🛠️ Compatibility — Bars & E-Bikes

🔹 Handlebars That Work

These bar pads are designed for crossbar-style handlebars — meaning your bars have a horizontal reinforcement tube that connects left and right grips. This is typical of:

• BMX-style bars used on many electric BMX and dirt jump e-bikes. 

• Some electric mountain bikes or trail e-bikes with aggressive geometry (aftermarket crossbar bars can be fitted).

• Pro Taper Fuzion or other aftermarket crossbar handlebars when installed on an e-bike. 

⚠️ Note: Many stock commuter or city e-bikes (like upright cruisers) don’t come with a crossbar on the handlebar, so a pad may not fit without swapping to a compatible bar.

🚲 Example E-Bike Models Where These Pads Can Be Used

While most stock e-bikes don’t include crossbar handlebars, riders often swap in crossbar or BMX-style bars to add durability and a sportier feel. When so equipped, Pro Taper pads fit great on:

🏙️ Popular E-Bikes That Can Be Upgraded

• Aventon Level 3 / Level.2 / Aventure series — These commuter-to-adventure e-bikes use standard MTB-style handlebars that can be replaced with crossbar bars to accept pads.

• Rad Power RadCity & RadRunner platforms — Riders often swap in BMX-style or reinforced crossbar bars for better control, which lets you use a Pro Taper pad.

• Lectric XP / XP 4.0 — Compact fat-tyre e-bike where many owners install BMX or crossbar bars for improved ergonomics — ideal for bar pads.

• Cyrusher fat-tyre / trail e-bikes — The wider MTB-style bars are compatible with crossbar bar swaps and thus Pro Taper pad installation.
  (Tip: Any e-bike that can accept a 31.8 mm clamp and a crossbar handlebar will typically work with these pads.)
