    BBSHD brake cut-off power return delay?

    I swapped my motor over but just used the old wiring so its connected to a brake sensor. Might try it on the gear sensor plug but it won't be till the new year now as got the builders in at home.

    BBSHD brake cut-off power return delay?

    My BBSHD has a button switch and the delay is the same as on my BBS02. I prefer to stop pedalling for an instant when changing up gears . Changing to a lower gear can be done under full power.

    Alternative Battery Charger

    I use a pair of Meanwell NES 350-48 power supplies to charge my batteries and have just ordered another pair to make charging shorter and simpler.

    Thru Axle or Quick Release and Brake Types for Front Hub Drives

    If you have a front motor then the axle question does not apply as the axle is part of the motor. I have a 1000W front hub on a steel suspension fork and it originally had cable disc brakes but they were not very efficient so swapped them out for hydraulic brakes and it made a massive difference...

    Import Tariff Codes and Duty.

    Bought a BBSHD from AliExpress in the 11-11 sale for £434 and when it came the UPS guy said I had to pay the charges straight away. I expected about £100 which would still make it £200 cheaper than an ebay one with the DCP 14 lcd. Surprised when he asked for £35.52,that was £24.52 import vat and...

    Bafang 8fun CD 36v or 48v ?

    BBSHD motor came today and import vat was £24.52 and UPS fee was £11 so £35.52 in total. I should point out that the nice lad at Eunora did put the value down as $100 even though I did not ask him to. He will be getting some lovely feedback.

    CD Drive Motor Superior?

    I have both hub and crank drive bikes and agree with the above. I shpuld point out though that my hub drives are all direct drive and I have no experience of a geared hub. As an example,on a local 10 mile hilly route, my 1000W hub uses 1Ah per mile and struggles up the steeper hills whereas my...

    Making full use of having a battery

    A couple of Co2 cylinders will do the job and take up a lot less room than an electric pump would. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNICH-CO2-INJECTOR-PRO-PUMP-PRESTA-OR-SCHRADER-VALVE-FITTING-CNC-ALLOY-/272451788883?hash=item3f6f646053:g:VqQAAOSwcLxYLF~c

    Hi You should get plenty of mileage in over there as it rarely rains. I was in Paphos 3 weeks ago on my honeymoon and thought it would be an excellent place for an ebike.
