Hi Paul, did you fit the Marathon Plus MTB (2016 version) in the end, and if you did, what are they like? Any comments will be much appreciated, coz I'm itching to pull the trigger on a pair this week.

Going on what anotherkiwi says in post #9, the 250w is just a detuned version of the 350w. The motor is no different. So theoretically, that means all the 250w units are originally rated as 350w by Bafang? The only reason they rate them as 250w, is that they only throw a max of 15 amps through...

Ok anotherkiwi, thanks for the clarification. I suppose the only solution is to sell the current one, take a hit on the financial loss and buy a BBS01 250w. Is Bafang still churning these out?

I'm going to tread carefully here, and I really don't want to rock the boat, but could posters try to stay focused on what the OP asked in his first post please. He knows his current set up is illegal and clearly doesn't want to make it go like his arse is on fire. Can anyone answer how he...

I think the 350w is the same as the 250w motor, but with the controller programmed to 18 amps instead of 15 amps. I wonder if reprogramming to 15 amps and sticking a compliant 250w sticker on the motor unit, will allow the bike to be ridden on the correct side of the law. I'm sure someone...

and what's wrong with being nerdy... Huh???

What personally, or vendors?

Try Woosh: http://wooshbikes.co.uk/cart/ Don't quote me, but I think Bafang aren't making the BBS01 any more. Edit: or Brighton ebikes lol ;) http://www.brightonebikes.co.uk/

One sold! Come on dinger19, own up, you bought it didn't you :D

Why stop at retirement age? This Grandpa's 70+ and puts most of us to shame lol. Here's the article about him: http://izismile.com/2013/06/20/the_most_ripped_grandfather_ever_20_pics.html

Absolutely trex, that's a sweet looking bike. I particularly like the route Oxygen Bicycles have taken with their new line of bikes. Especially the s-cross mtb:

Ok, no probs trex, no harm done. Though, an emoticon after a comment usually goes a long way to conveying the tone of the comment ;)

Not really, a lot of members ride electric bikes not because they are lazy, but due to physical disabilities too. I have one, as the wooded areas that I ride on have some monster short inclines, that just aren't possible to tackle without assistance. There are many different reasons why we...

I invite you to come along and join me doing my full time job, which involves 40+ hours per week of nothing but arduous physical labour. Plus, you're more than welcome to tag along on my 5 mile run 3 times a week. 5' 9'', 75kg's, 45 years old, fit as a fiddle. The reason I ride an electric bike...

Is it this one that you've got? http://www.oxygenbicycles.com/e-bikes/s-cross-mtb If it is, then that's one cool looking bike. How easy is it to remove the battery, if it does indeed come off?

Most of the BBSxx's are programmed from the factory to limit the overall current when on the move. This is called the 'Keep Current' parameter in the software settings. I think they set it at 60% from the factory. You would need a programming cable to change this setting, but it would unlock...

Another thread reminded me to get some more Muc-Off Nano Tech Bike Cleaner. Before I pull the trigger on this deal from Tweeks, have anyone seen a better deal...

Cats yes, but I've never eaten a baby :D

The pressure of the steam will increase the chances of water getting into places you don't want. Would you consider using a cleaner like this to clean your bike? http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/muc-off-nano-tech-bike-cleaner/rp-prod520?gs=1&gclid=CLL0kZ-418wCFQtAGwodHoIJ6g&gclsrc=aw.ds...
