hey mate, how is it going? I noticed you have a 2017 Marin Muirwoods with a BSHD and I was actually looking at the same bike to convert. Did you have any issue doing the conversion with the standard kit and chainring? Thanks!

I like that setup, perhaps would just choose a men's bike in place. What about the gears, is the cassete something like 11-36T? Does it give a reasonable range? I was wondering it it would make sense to replace it with a wider range cassete like 11-42 or even wider up range?

this boardman bike looks nice setup like that, very discreet! What bike model is it?

did you receive the bike in the end? any VAT surprise or import tax?

I was planning to buy my kit and battery from EM3EV but so far I've been trying to ask them questions for nearly a week about parts that I want included in the kit, no response by email and facebook. I think I'm not going buy from them, if they can't answer pre sales queries, imagine post sales...

very detailed information, thanks. You and a few more people have mentioned to stick with BBS02 as well, I'm beginning to think that indeed that may be best cost benefit with still some fun factor included. It is difficult to judge without having both but you guys have tons of experience and it...

regarding LIPOs, considering all pros/cons like many have said these 30Q batteries have very good discharge rate and capacity so I think that would be my route for now

Thanks for the comprehensive answer, much appreciated! Yeah I get your point, blame that brunopower youtube video making me feel like playing with these things. I know I don't need more than 150hp on my car but I was not happy until we managed to get 430hp out of it, I can tell it is fun :)...

cool, 30Q it is then :)

that would be for a 2nd project for sure, I've read a lot about it and it seems interesting, just a bit too time consuming for me at the moment considering other projects I have :) ok, that works for me then, so many reports like yours a lekkie sort out many of the problems with chain coming...

That is exactly what I was looking for thanks! Good to know the gear sensor is useful, so definitely will be on my checkout :) That makes sense, with my LIPOs each cell has a wire back to the charger to balance it, not sure if it just a sensor or if there is actually some sort of electric...

so the BMS itself is not always balancing the charge? pardon my ignorance as I come from a LIPO background for remote controlled cars, I use to balance charge the battery but the controller itself and balancer is in the charger. The battery only has a wire to inform the voltage delta between the...

Hi guys, I'm beginning the project to convert a Carrera Kraken which is about 6 years old I believe and has been gathering dust for a while. After researching a lot I'm thinking about a mid drive motor as if later on I feel like using in another bike I can easily do. My idea was to first get a...

I'm thinking about a 52v 15ah using samsung 30Q cells, it can deliver 40A continuous. I'll post a new topic as a project for the other bike I have, it makes more sense so other people can use as reference in the future easily

not in a hurry, I'm considering em3ev as well as I can get 52v batteries with samsung 30Q I'm making a short list now with all suppliers, I've seen there is a new display DCP18, may be worth an upgrade
