Imagine the original front chainwheel on that Trek-Trekkingbike was around 34 I think. It was almost impossible to get more than 25 km/h in the 8th gear. My everyday's commuting trip profile tends to be a frustrating, 6,4 km one-way, 5 uphill full stops, uphill riding through a park sharing...

Update: As I had, in my first panic reaction, ordered a 44 teeth front chainwheel, I mounted that one week ago during cleaning and oiling my bicycle. I was fearing that über-big 52 teeth front chainwheel would be 'too much'. After less than 100 km in that configuration, I will retrofit ASAP to...

Doing the first commuting trips.... what a joy. That big 52 chainwheel up front was just what I needed, to get a calm/relaxed pedalling attitude. The fast pedalling, I will keep that for sporting around on the Mountainbike. Definitely not regretting this retrofitting to my classic Trekking bike...

Ah now I understand, however I have horizontal dropout, so I will be able to adjust. Well I will not tell the hub what is going up front. Maybe it will not notice :D

I will shorten/lengthen the chain to fit my needs, no? If that is what a chain tensioner does. I don't quite know that item (looked it up on google). My Nexus has already 10.000 km done. So if it will start creaking, I can still exchange it. Time will tell...

Hm, okay. As the kit arrived already yesterday, I will go ahead and post my results. It took only a week from mainland China to Europe, which I consider very fast... Just to be on the safe side, I ordered a spare 44... Will it not be too much fiddling to change just the chainwheel after the...

...and ordered the 750 watt BBS02 with a 52 teeth Chainwheel:eek: I hadn't quite the right size of original Nexus chainwheel in mind and was horrified when I noticed, that that one is 38 teeth. Does it make sense to mount the kit with 52 chainwheel on the Nexus 8 gear hub??? I don't know...

any way to incorporate a "real" off-switch?

Thank you, that's what I was thinking...

I've been using anti-spark connectors on my previous bike kit. When connecting the battery, it flashed loudly and impressively without those special connectors): Now that I'm about to install a Bafang central motor BBS02 and want to keep using my own 48V batteries: Do I still need to use...

Hello to the community! New to this forum, but not new to Pedelecs. I've been running a 250 w cutie motor for three years in my Trekking bike, lately around 26 km (16 miles) a day commuting to work. It ran ok, but I changed voltage at the beginning of this year from 36V to 48V. this improved...
