    A dry day is a Bafang day..

    Don’t envy you, I had that pleasure last year, when the wife wanted the bathroom upgrading. I still miss that retro shell avocado bathroom suite.. Yes I converted it myself after transferring from another frame I’d built up and wasn’t keen on. Its a BBS01 36v 500w( stickered at 250w) which is...

    Bafang BBS02 axle gearing lost its bite..

    I must admit I did have a bit of a tussle with the locknuts in trying to fit them but just took it as the norm. Eventually I managed to get them both on, after persuading the drive side with a rubber mallet and putting a wooden block underneath while the bike was on its side, to give me enough...

    Bafang BBS02 axle gearing lost its bite..

    Yes it was the dedicated service and delivered via Royal Mail 48hr tracked once it arrived in the U.K. Ordered on a Sunday, delivered the following Saturday to Manchester although it arrived at the London sorting office on the Wednesday. Couldn’t fault the service or the communication as...

    Bafang BBS02 axle gearing lost its bite..

    I purchased the motor used from my brother in law which he used on weekends away at his family holiday home. He had rubbed off the details from the bottom of the motor and replaced with a generic 250w sticker after being pulled over by the police for motoring past them on full throttle. He was...

    Bafang BBS02 axle gearing lost its bite..

    After much confusion and searching with plenty of contradictory advice from several retailers, I now have the bike running as it should. Actually turns out I have a BBS01 motor which every retailer barring Greenbike said couldn’t be fixed as parts were unavailable. Anna at Greenbike assured me...

    Bafang BBS02 axle gearing lost its bite..

    It turns out I gave the earlier BBS02A model and one supplier I have been in contact with doesn’t think it will fit? The gear plate is stamped ZE and I am now unsure as I thought that particular part was the same on newer models.

    Hi Tommie, The drive appears to be ok after cleaning the shards of the failed teeth out of the casing. The motor is turning and the teeth appear to be ok although I may well replace the part while I’m replacing the axle gear just to make sure.

    Bafang BBS02 axle gearing lost its bite..

    Happy new your to all, I have recently had the misfortune of the axle gearing on my Bafang BBS02 36v 500w motor deciding to give up the ghost. As the sun was out, I decided to take the bike for a New Year’s Day ride and the bike didn’t get off to a great start to the year.. After a great...

    Reawaken battery?

    Thanks for reply Andy, I am usually game for attempting to repair most things although reading this made me think it’s best if I leave it to the professionals. I once built my own kit car, the wiring was the only thing I didn’t take pleasure from. Now I just stick to changing the odd plug or...
