    which battery to buy, Alie express or em3ev

    If I were you, I wouldn't take either of the options you listed. Try https://ebikebatteries.co.uk/ and contact Jimmy. He'll build you a significantly better quality battery than you'll get from China, with genuine cells. If you get a problem with a Chinese bought battery, the least of your...

    Has any one had experience of buying from Dillenger UK? (I mean, apart from them charging OTT prices for Bafang parts...)

    Advice on bafang middrive please

    The programming is also subject to the preferences chosen by each supplier. I've just got a BBS02 direct from Green Bike Kits in China (Excellent service by the way) and as it was dispatched, it had no throttle response at all when pedaling, irrespective of PAS setting. Soon remedied with...

    Advice on bafang middrive please

    Hi wheeliepete. Have a look at the following: http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/bbsxx-mid-drive-conversion.26868/ If you're going off road then forget a hub drive - a mid drive is very much better. Don't forget that anything over 250W is illegal for road use and only legal off road...

    Bare Bones BBSXX Motor Only?

    OK. After a bit of two-ing and fro-ing with a couple of UK dealers who couldn't, in the end, repair (or supply) a 750W motor on its own, I decided to buy a new one from Green Bike Kit which arrived today (took about three weeks from order to delivery). Great service from Anna at GBK who was...

    Bare Bones BBSXX Motor Only?

    Yes, that's what I meant, but if you think you might be able to repair mine, then that would be great! I have a feeling that it's only the controller that is malfunctioning, but I figured that an entire motor would give me spares to swap out, as and when. My bike gets a lot of use, often in...

    Bafang bbshd motor not working error code 08

    Hi d8veh, thanks for your reply. I'm inclined to agree with regard to running the battery down, but I'm at the stage of ruling things out at the moment. (it's done now anyway) I've stripped the motor down and there was no sign of water ingress, or rust. Can I purchase the mosfets from RS? If...

    Bafang bbshd motor not working error code 08

    Guys. Thanks so much for this - it's really useful info. I've got error 12 on mine at the moment, with similar presentations - motor works for a bit, then cuts out, then works again... I've been advised to run the battery completely flat and then re charge in case of a faulty cell, but its...
