    Questions about a Bafang front hub build

    Hi, yes, another problem is the other side, if you have a fork with axle grip in the middle, you can´t fix a swxk. You need the grip for the axle on the innerside of the fork. I think the picture make clear what i mean. regards frank

    Budget Electric Bike Project

    On this cable is the normal battery output so you can attach a voltmeter that shows you the actualy volt, but i dont like this kind of batterystatus because it is not relly exactly, it´s more a view into a crystal-ball ;-) A good batterystatus is the cycle-analyst or wattsup or maybe a new...

    Supplier of 8fun bafang bpm hillclimber kit

    you always can get the same performance from 36v as from 48v, it only depend on the motor-power/cooper-winding´s there is a rule, higher rpm reduce the torque! the lower torque you can compensate with higher Ampere-cut on controller. With 250watt you cant get 27mph it is to low power, the...

    Dahon D7 Vitesse Conversion

    I agree that the BPM is a little bit oversized for a folder. I would use a swxh for the rear or other small motor´s for the front, the freewheel of the BPM is also not relly good. The BPM is build to climb mountain in a 26" wheel. If you have a 20"wheel, you dont need this kind of motor. The...
