    Upgrade - From Haibike Bosch CX to Cheapo BBS01

    Today I was riding my road commuter with front hub drive. It is actually faster, and stronger, uphill. At least on this 1km long climb (6% grade) I have on the way to work. That took 3:06 with the Bafang but only 2:28 with this bike! But they are quite different programmed: Front hub drive: It...

    I did a 43km ride today on about 50% trails, rest gravel/asphalt. Elevation over 900m but it was quite though trails, places I wouldn't have biked unassisted. And still, battery only half empty! (36.9V). That was really good I think. (one hill was up a mountain, like 30-35 degree slope, I would...

    Today on the way home the left crank started to rub against the swing :( just what I was afraid of, has just happened. Don't know what happened really, guess the swing flex did swing too much or something. Think I will try to quick fix this by slightly bending the crank arm a little, Z-shaped...

    ok, yes I will try with some more there. Could try at 60% at first then. Hope it doesn't affect battery time too much then :)

    Alright! That small change in current decay made a significant improvement. Now I get more normal times on the road commute way. It can get a little strange though when coming down a hill on a slope when there is an uphill ahead and you need to gain some speed for the uphill. It then stops...

    ...oh yes, one thing. It is different in the programming software. There it says 26"!? Mismatch there. Or does the display overwrite the controller? (there is no option "By display's command" like those other values).

    Hi and thanks for good answer. First I must tell that document was not my values, just what I found as default in the program I used :) they very not a very match for the 36V/250W version. Have now had the time to try at home for real. Got my stock values and put them in a new document. See...

    Today I made a test. Took my normal road-commute way to work, about 14km. I noticed quite early that this bike is slower compared to my old front-drive bike. It feels like it's cadence-sensitive in some way, if I pedal at a cadence I would normally use on an un-assisted bike, the drive don't...

    Thanks for compliments! Ok, good info, hope they are coming to the west also by time :) something needs to challenge the established big systems. Some manufacturers use customized Bafang drives also, could be an option. I'm happy for now and about two years ahead :) let's see what happens then...

    So I have been riding a Haibike hard tail with Bosch Performance Line CX motor and 500Wh battery for almost two years now. Not too impressed actually. Some quality issues and the spare parts are very expensive. Plus the fact that you are bound to Bosch and their stuff. I have had another bike...

    seriously nice BMS! whish I had those one in all my packs :)

    Lab power supply as charger

    ok, that might be something to think of. But since it is 5 cells in parallell wouldn't they balance each other? But I guess that could work bad when pack is old. Best would be a Smart BMS of some kind, a colleague has one with BT connectivity so he can monitor/program by his cell phone :)

    Lab power supply as charger

    Not sure I understand what you mean. The BMS is powered by the main battery pack power and not single cells. The balance wires each comes from one of the serial branches.

    Lab power supply as charger

    Have now tried data logging, first attempt was hard because program language was chinese :) but I asked seller and got an english version. So now it works perfectly. Really neat with computer control, you can control everything except main power on/off. There is also more advanced control with...

    Please help me build my full suspension EMTB!!!

    Great! I am building a similar myself. One thing I noticed half way through the build. IF we need to service the rear triangle bearings we need to remove the motor :( but otherwise I think it's a very nice concept!

    ...I did like that on my commute eBike. Shimano saint derailleur 10s. With Sunrace 11-40T 9s cassette and Sram 9s Gripshift. I have read 9s is quite though so I thought to give it a shot. Now I am building an exact similar but with 10 gears. And Sunrace 11-42T [emoji3] great that you can pick...
