Try to play with this code. Check 5. line and line begins label.top .

original code:

def s_scalebar_SKBB (expr l, units, txt) = 
  begingroup
    interim warningcheck:=0;
    tmpl:=l / Scale * cm * units / 2;
  endgroup;
  pickup PenC;
  draw (-tmpl,0)--(tmpl,0);
  draw (-tmpl,0)--(-tmpl,2bp);
  draw (tmpl,0)--(tmpl,2bp);
  begingroup
    interim labeloffset:=2bp;
    label.top(thTEX(decimal (l) & "\thinspace" & txt),origin);
  endgroup
enddef;

There is another important file in mpost folder - thTrans.mp - in which are definitions of which name of code from -for example thSpecial.mp will by used by variable used in therion. 
For example: 
let s_scalebar = s_scalebar_SKBB;

modified code - two times wider scale-bar

code metapost
def s_scalebar (expr l, units, txt) = 
  begingroup
    interim warningcheck:=0;
    tmpl:=l / Scale * cm * units ;
  endgroup;
  pickup PenC;
  draw (-tmpl,0)--(tmpl,0);
  draw (-tmpl,0)--(-tmpl,2bp);
  draw (tmpl,0)--(tmpl,2bp);
  begingroup
    interim labeloffset:=2bp;
    label.top(thTEX(decimal (l*2) & "\thinspace" & txt),origin);
  endgroup
enddef;
 endcode
