    Winter DIY - Heated grips

    In time for christmas holiday I have the best DIY fix here. Heated handlebar grips! It is a great thing to do with ebikes, since you have the power. You just need some heat pads and some basic skills to pull it off. I ordered some standard heated pads for motorcycles (or snow mobiles) rated...

    Di2 external power

    Hi! I would like to fit XT Di2 on my ebike with regular battery. Feels like it would be wasted with a Di2 battery when I already have a big battery for motor. I only need a 36V to 7.4V converter. But that is something I would like to get anyway for lights. Is that possible? I mean, easy, only...

    Bafang BBS01 changing RPM

    Hi all, I have long been disturbed about the BBS01 low speed. Only rated 78 rpm at 36V/250W version. Personally I like riding at about 80-100 rpm or something like that. So the BBS01 cuts out just when beginning to reach the sweet spot. How to fix this? I guess you can't change this through...

    Snow traction

    Today we got plenty of snow! Yiehaaaa! But my mid drive MTB is broken :( so what could I do? Ride on roads? No way! I used my trekking bike with front wheel drive and didn't think it would go so well. But you know what? It did! Actually way better than thought. I guess it is because of two...

    Bafang BBS01 ramp speed temporary stop

    Bad title, but whatever. I have one problem with BBS01 programming. When biking on, say flat, and you have some speed. A sharp corner comes, you stop pedalling for two seconds to take the corner and then start pedalling again. Then the BBS stops assisting for a very short time. BUT... it then...

    Upgrade - From Haibike Bosch CX to Cheapo BBS01

    So I have been riding a Haibike hard tail with Bosch Performance Line CX motor and 500Wh battery for almost two years now. Not too impressed actually. Some quality issues and the spare parts are very expensive. Plus the fact that you are bound to Bosch and their stuff. I have had another bike...

    Shimano Steps E8000 custom charger

    Have been thinking about a Steps bike. But I would like to be able to use my own charger for the battery, just like I do with my Kunteng-build that uses a regular DC-plug. How is that working with the Steps system? Does it require some handshaking or anything to accept charge or can I just make...

    Lab power supply as charger

    Got inspired by another thread and bought myself a better lab PSU with CC/CV setting. Current one I have is 30V/5A but as I need 42V that was not unfortunately not enough. So, after some serious googling I found the Korad lineup, same one sells at Farnell as "Tenma" brand, or Elfa/Distrelec as...

    Charger - Mean Well HLG Led driver

    Been chasing for the perfect charger for some time now. Got the next thing to try. A Led driver unit with adjustable voltage and current. As I use 42V battery and currently has a 2A cheap china charger I went for this 185W model that can charge with maximum 42V and 4.4A. Mean Well HLG-185H-42A...

    Bosch CX motor anti-spin

    Hi, anyone know how CX drive delivers the power when you ride in bad grip conditions? It seems it have some kind of anti-spin feature. Example: Now on these snowy days I have often come to some uphill with bad grip. If I ride on high assist mode it's very difficult to come up because it spin...

    SRAM EX1 first impressions review

    Have done some service on my bike. First my Bosch CX-motor which I got a new from factory. While waiting for that one I "fixed" my rear derailleur once and for all with a SRAM EX1 upgrade kit. Derailleur/shifter/cassette/chain. Previously was a Shimano SLX 11-36T, stock 16T front sprocket...

    Government subsidize

    This is seriously nice. Swedish government has announced that they will subsidize ebike purchase, with start from 20 sep! The amount is 25% or up to 10000 SEK, which is about £920. That is most awesome! It is a part of a focus towards greener society which they have been doing various things...

    3rd party battery for Bosch

    Hi all! I have two chinese rack battery packs for my old ebike. My newer ebike (Bosch Performance Line) has frame mounted pack. Is it possible to make an adapter harness to be able to use the other packs on the Bosch? Best would be one battery system of course, the opposite way would work...

    Q-Factor Bosch

    Just curious, what is your q-factor on your Bosch crank? I have a fatbike with Performance CX and have about 246mm! Kind of much!? Don't know. (easy to measure if you measure one side to the centre of the tube, turn the crank and measure other side, add together, should be same on each side...
