    Waiting for my Bafang BBS01

    Hi all I hope this post is in the proper place. :D I've finally made my mind up and place an order for the BAFANG BBS01 250W with the Downtube battery. We are still tossing up which bike would be best suited to it but I think my Giant Rove 2 (2013) will win the lottery.:) While waiting for the...

    Wheel sizes 27.5" what?

    Hi there I've been coming across a lot of different wheel size statements: 700 cc (ok I know THAT one) 29" (yep that is known too) 26" (another well known one) But what is the 27.5" wheel size? New sizing, would you need different tires, tubes etc for that size? Or just a "new weave" thing...

    How much water/abuse can an ebike handle?

    Thanks for the heads up Nealh. Maybe 750w is a bit too fast for me anyway was more leaning towards the 350w which is the BBS01? Shows I have not done enough research yet. :confused: I am aware of the legal requirements here I don't see the coppers targeting a middle aged woman unless I Zip past...

    How much water/abuse can an ebike handle?

    Looks like a BBS02 is the go. Will do bit more searching and lurching on forums before I make my mind up. I do like the sound of those little motors though. Thanks very much for all the input. Oh and no I do not intend to submerge the bike under water if not truly necessary to get home/going on...

    Thanks for the pics EddiePJ, your e-bikes have been tested the hard way :) Yep sand and water, not a good combination it's like sandpaper and chaffs happily away on every part it can get to. You are driving a BH Emotion at the moment right? It seems, following your entries at Pedelecs that it's...

    Thank you flecc. Surprising that the crank drive is the better choice since I believe it's located at the bottom of the bike? It will receive quite a bit of a beating from sticks, stones and tree roots. The housing must be strong to withstand all of it. What do you look for when choosing a good...

    How much water/abuse can an ebike handle?

    Hi all, we are planning to ride the Munda Biddi south bound ( Western Australia) with an e-bike. We will come across sandy path, water logged roads, fine gravel etc. this makes me wonder how much water can these bike resist. I did this off road MTB track North Bound already with a "normal" MTB...
