    36v to 48v Bafang BBS01 250watt

    I am generally happy with my two bafang BBS01 250watt powered ebikes, BUT i would like more horsepower. When i can afford it, I will get either a BBS02 750Watt or a BBSHD but both of those require 48 volt batteries. So can i upgrade my batteries to 48 volt now and run my BBS01's on them, or...

    Gear Sensor Plug

    Is there any problem inherent in cutting the gear sensor plug off at the junction where the four wires go into one, is there a chance of a short causing an electrical problem. I was thinking of cutting it off flush with the plastic box and coating it with epoxy for waterproofing.

    EU trying to impose insurance for E-Bikes

    1st if this is reported elsewhere in Pedelecs i apologize for double posting, i did look and couldn't find any other reports of this. So the EU, in their wisdom, are going to class any vehicle with any sized motor(including 250w and under) as a motor vehicle and therefore requiring motor...

    Woman Dies after being struck by Ebike

    I just saw the news that a woman in London who was hit by a hit and run ebike(it was found abandoned) has unfortunately died. Will this affect us as ebikers , because at the moment they seem to see it as a cycling incident and not as an exclusively ebike incident. Could this incident especially...

    Powered Bike Trailer

    While investigating a trailer so i can carry more batteries independent of the bike i came across this you tube video . It uses an extrawheel trailer and a hub motor to push you along. It seems to me to be an easy build and the only minor problem would be extending the controls/LCD lead. Can...

    BBS01B 250w to 350w

    I have two bikes with Bafang 250's and generally i'm happy with them. When i first got one i tried to up the amperage to, i think it was 17 or 18 amps, to turn it into a 350w but got error messages so gave up with that idea. A year later and i am thinking i need more power but not at too much...

    Trailers

    Has anyone got experience of trailers for ebikes, what i thought was a single wheel trailer to put lots of batteries in and maybe a tent etc for a weekend camping. I'm thinking of 50 to 60 miles each way, maybe more when i am confident i can handle the distance. Is anyone doing this? as i think...

    Bafang loom and shift sensor

    I'm tidying things up a bit on my new build and fitting normal brake levers instead of Bafangs lumpy things and have bought the through wire type sensors(no gluing magnets etc) so i thought that while i was at it i would fit a gear sensor after all its only £15 and the Bafang loom has 3 Higo...

    I don't know if this has been asked before but not recently anyway so here goes. I run two bikes with BBS01's neither with throttles and i would like to fit decent brake levers, I have a programming cable so I can reduce the engine lag to virtually nothing. I am not brave enough to try...

    Watt meter TSDZ2

    The display i have on my Tongsheng is the VLCD-5 and it doesn't display voltage only black bars and absolutely nothing as far as amp usage and that makes me feel very insecure as i have no idea how much battery i have left, i am used to monitoring voltage on my BBS01 and don't discharge below 36...

    Which LVA

    I use Hobby-King Multistar Li-Po Batteries because they are cheaper and i am used to Li-po's because of my other hobbies so they don't worry me. But as there are no BMS involved it does mean you have to be careful, i only balance charge and i have set full charge to 4.16v a cell on my icharger...

    Problem with new Tongsheng TSDZ2

    Got the 350w version with brakes and throttle and Large display(VLCD-5). It was an easy fit, couple of hours at most including my many tea breaks, Really nice motor looks a lot better finished than the bafang and very stealthy. Soldered an XT90 on and connected the battery, everything lit up as...

My old legs no longer struggle up the many hills in Bristol as the motor takes the strain(even got up Redcatch without stopping) so my second bike is going to be upgraded too. So do i get the...
