    Upgrade to BBSHD?

    I have a BBSHD on a hybrid Marin and live in a very hilly area and my weak legs mean I need power up even slight hills. As a rule I get at least 60 miles out of 26Ah 56V and on a good day can get 90 miles out of it. I also have a BBS02 on a MTB and after 2000 miles had to replace the inner nylon...

    question about suntour suspension seatpost

    It also adds 2 inches to the minimum height of the saddle. I have a 21.5 inch frame and cant use my Suntour on it as I need the seat right down!

    Sheds for ebikes

    I built a 10 x 10 shed in the front garden for my bikes. But then I had some wood left so I built a bar. Got a bit carried away after that ans so the bikes are still out in the byre.

    Next mid drive project 29er

    My first 29er was a Cannondale Trail 6 with a BBS02 fitted with a Lekkie bling ring and was an excellent ride and the bike was only £350 brand new. I used an EM3EV frame bag for the batteries . The motor didn't need shimming but it needed some steel putty between the downtube and motor to keep...

    Hi from County Durham

    My Bafangs are 750 watt and 1000 watt but then I weigh 17 stone and carry over 2 stone of batteries on long runs! At your weight a 250 watt Bafang will be ok especially if you get a wide range rear cassette say 11-36T or even 11-40T and then a front chainring of 42T is all you need. I have an...

    Hi from County Durham

    How steep and long is your biggest hill? I live in Co Durham and my 1000watt direct drive front hub was not able to assist me up the biggest hills here so I changed it for a Bafang mid drive and can go anywhere now.

    Advice on bafang middrive please

    You can stop pedalling for a second as you change gear or a press on the throttle gives you a split second pause enough to go down a gear. Going up the gears (to a smaller cog) can be done under power.. I run both a BBS02B 750W on a MTB and a BBSHD 1000W on a hybrid. The throttle works all the...

    Bare Bones BBSXX Motor Only?

    Dont know of any. I needed one last month and couldnt find one so ended up getting one from Conhismotor via ebay. At least it came from their European warehouse with a reciept for 100 euros so no tax to pay on it. Just means I can put a DPC14 on the mtb now.

    Different bikes effect on Battery performance

    I get at least 200 miles out of the battery on my BBSHD.... It is 64Ah of Multistar LiPo though:cool::cool::cool::rolleyes: I do pedal as much as I can but thats mainly on the flat due to 16Kg of battery and 100Kg of rider!

    What Chain Lube?

    I use Muc Off C3 ceramic lube and never clean my chain. The chain(KMC) on my BBS02 gets replaced every 1500 miles and the one on my BBSHD (both 9 speed) gets changed every 1200 miles. Given that the chains are less than a tenner a piece its far cheaper than replacing cassettes and Bling rings! I...

    AliExpress vs eBay for buyer protection?

    Bought over 2 dozen items from AliExpress including BBS02 and BBSHD and never needed buyer protection. I have heard from people who have used it and not seen a bad report. All payments are held in escrow and the seller doesnt get their money until you inform AliExpress that the item has arrived...
