    BBS02 in FSR XC frame.

    Has anyone on here fitted a BBS02 or TSDZ2 motor into a Specialized Fsr frame. The frame dates from about 2007 & has the straight downtube & standard BB. It measures about 18 inches to top of seat tube. The frame triangle is a bit tight but may just take an HL1 battery. I will have to try one...

    Bafang BBS02b 36volt to 48v conversion.

    Hi. What do I need to upgrade BBS02 36v 500w with C961 display to 48volt or would it be worth replacing rather tired Samsung 29e cell 14.5 Ah battery with a 17.4 Ah one with 29e cells. I know that 29e cells are pretty low discharge but would the 10s6p supply more power than the 10s 5p I am using...

    HL 1 36 volt battery advice needed.

    I am looking for a good quality HL 1 36 volt battery, I was going to order one from Eclipse with 30q cells but they are out of stock. I wanted the HL1 because I have one on another bike so it would be handy to have two the same. Can you recommend a good UK or at least EU supplier. Has anyone...

    Battery advice wanted.

    I have a Tong Sheng 36 volt 500watt motor in a Giant Revolt gravel bike. The battery is a Woosh HL 15 amp hour, which is nearly four years old, it still holds a reasonable charge. The maximum charge seems to be 41.6 volts. Charging has become rather strange. I left it on charge after a 15 mile...

    Shimano Steps cranks on Tongsheng motor.

    I have bought a pair of Steps crank arms, to replace the standard Tongsheng items which had a ridiculous Q factor of 212mm. they came with retaining bolts that tighten using a socket rather than an Allen key. Is there any reason why I can't use the original Allen bolts? I don't want to have to...

    Motor cuts out after start up

    I have a Tongsheng motor powered by a Woosh 36v 15ah battery. When I turn on the display everything looks OK. I wait for the Spanner symbol to disappear the motor pulls away fine, but only for a short distance. Maybe 100 metres or so, the display goes blank & no power. I stop & turn back on &...

    Speed sensor on crank arm.

    I have read that this works on some bikes but not others. Does anybody know if it would fool the speed cutout on a 2017 Haibike sduro hard 7 Yamaha motor? or a 2017 Giant Dirt e 2 with Giant / Yamaha motor? I was told by the local Giant dealer that the Giant version of the motor was not easy to...

    Tongsheng TSDZ2. Your experiences.

    I know that this unit had very mixed reviews when it first came out, but I would like to hear what owners feelings are now. Were all the early units 250w? Is the 350w model different? I seem to remember reading that the chain line is not good, but is it any worse than a BBS with standard...

    Rear hub kits

    I am looking for a rear hub motor in either a 27.5 or 700c wheel. The SWX02 sounds about right. I am surrounded by hills & I don't think the little 08 motor would be up to the task. Do you have any wheels in black? I also read that you have a Q128h kit in a test bike. Is that for sale? Finally...

    Do new batteries deteriorate?

    The reason I ask is that I have seen a Bosch performance line bike 2016 model that looks interesting, but as it was built possibly 18 months to 2 years ago & has been in a box without ever been recharged, is the battery likely to have lost its ability to take or hold a charge? Steve.

    Bosch performance line v Cx

    How much difference is there in terms of performance between these two motors? I have seen a brand new AVE 2016 bike which is very well equipped for the price. I imagine it must be at least 18 months old. Will the battery have come to harm through lack of use? Steve

    Woosh & Oxydrive comparison.

    Looking for a rear hub drive cst kit. The Woosh is attractive because I already have a bbs02 kit with HL battery so if I wanted to go for a longish ride I could take a spare battery to extend range. The kit is also £300 less than the Oxydrive. What are the differences between the two motors...

    Bafang C961 display problem.

    I have a Bafang bbs02 36v 500watt motor with c961 display. The manual states that it can show speed, average speed & max speed, but I can't find anything relating to how to do this. All it shows is current speed. Am I missing something or does this only apply to some models? Steve

    Eight speed XT rear mech.

    I have an old ( circa 2005 ) long cage rear mech. The only markings I can see on it is "Integrated 8 SIS" I am running an 11-30 cassette, it is OK with this. Does anybody know if it would be OK with an 11-34 ? Steve.

    Scam on Gumtree.

    A Haibike Sduro hard 7 has been advertised on Gumtree for a few days now. Hardly ridden, works perfect etc. £870.00 Ad shows a contact in Ingol near Preston. Sounded too good to be true, but it's only half an hour away so I sent an email, heard nothing, sent another email a couple of days...

    Cheap cadence computer.

    I bought a Cat Eye Strada wired computer with cadence read out, to help me keep my BBS motor in the power band. When I ordered the Strada I didn't realise how small the screen is, the speed reading on the top line is just about OK for my eyesight, but the bottom line is small. I found myself...

    Battery in pannier.

    Due to lack of space in the triangle of a Norco Charger frame, which is fitted with a BBS02, I have fitted my HL battery inside a pannier. Will it be OK to carry waterproofs etc. in the same pannier, or might the battery overheat ?. Steve

    For my next stupid trick.

    I have quite cleverly generated a large spark, I have a 36v HL battery with push in connectors inside the metal casing at the end of the carrier. The carrier was not connected to anything. I slid the battery onto the carrier & hey presto a large flash on removing the battery & the cover on the...
