    Bafang equivalent to the YTW-06

    Okay, so I can't find any direct retailers, but I found this and this. I'm worried the second one might be a scam, but they do have trade assurance and verified onsite operations. I'm not sure about the economics, but it might be cheaper to do a group buy on these to reach minimum order...

    Bafang equivalent to the YTW-06

    So the g370.250.DC does seem like what I would want. I am willing to spread the dropouts a bit if it means a smaller motor and the ability to use a cassette. Does anybody know where it could be found for sale though? As soon as I get my hands on one, I'll do my best to help others considering...

    Bafang equivalent to the YTW-06

    That one does look pretty close. It says 145 mm OLD though. Isn't that fatbike sizing? The description says that it is suitable for city bikes.

    Bafang equivalent to the YTW-06

    Hey all, I was looking around online for a hub motor with a similar size and weight to the YTW-06. I was looking for a motor that had similar specs, but could take a cassette and also freewheel between the reduction and the shell, instead of inside the rotor. I came across this article. It only...

    Where Do You Live V2.0

    That’s actually one of my favourite (street) places to ride. Just one block west, between Church and Westney, is a huge hill with a separate bike path from the road. Call me crazy, but I have almost as much fun riding up the hill as I do down, because of the challenge of the hill and the...

    Xiongda YTW-06 front hub motor into Norco Indie 3

    Just a thought, would it interfere with the operation of the sensor to paint the magnets black? That would make it less obvious. And/or how about mounting the magnets directly to smallest chainring, without the ring they came in? That could make it pretty stealthy, if it worked.

    Xiongda YTW-06 front hub motor into Norco Indie 3

    Thanks for posting a picture with every component in a single frame, Jens. I've been looking at doing a conversion for some time now, and it's great to see everything for scale. I never realized how small the controller is, or how big the magnet ring is.

    More questions! I was looking on BMSbattery again, and I discovered that they have a bottom bracket torque sensor. Does anyone have experience with this system? I can't seem to find any information on the controller that comes with it, the S06ST controller. I know that it's a sine wave...

    As I keep going with this, to me it seems to be getting a bit less beneficial to have a hub drive in relation to the reduced cost. I'm starting to come full circle, and l am looking at a TSDZ2 mid drive motor again. Is it worth the extra cost, or should I keep looking at hub motor kits? Sorry if...

    I've got the full kit planned out, with everything except the battery and spokes coming from BMSBattery. It'll be 248 USD. However, I've been looking around, and I recently found this: https://www.ebikeling.com/shop/electric-bicycle-36v-500w-geared-rear-700c-kit-opt1, which would be 185 USD...

    Okay, thanks for letting me know. I'll consider a rear wheel drive. How can I use a rear wheel drive and keep the weight balanced?

    Thank you, and thanks for letting me know about the shark battery. I checked back in with ev-power.eu, and as it turns out, they offer a battery building service, and for the cells I selected, they offer this service at a price of $0.12 per cell. I feel as though that would probably be my best...

    Thanks for all the help! I've looked at the q100h, and it looks like just what I need, but I can't seem to find the weight. is it any heavier than the q100? Also, where can I get the same things BMSBattery offers with lower shipping rates? It's ridiculous. Order - $369, Shipping - $239. o_O I...

    Hey all, first time posting. I've been haunting the forums here for a while now, and gathering a lot of info, so I think I know what I'm talking about, but maybe not. Anyways. I have a beautiful Trek FX 2 that I got in the fall to replace my 7200 that got totalled when I got struck by a car. I...
