    Bafang Max Drive bikes

    Booked a test ride of a Freego Martin Sport for next Thursday. Its for a 20 stone pal who wants to get some exercise while following my BBSHD.. I guess I will have to detune it to 500 watts so I dont lose him in the first 5 minutes. Be interesting to see how the torque sensor feels compared to...

    Chain Noise Grrrrr

    Yes,not done many this year as we have had strong winds almost all spring and when it has been ok I have had other things to do. Going on my hols now for 2 weeks but when I get back I will be out as much as possible as I have 3 stone to get rid of!! On the positive side we now have 92 Strava...

    Chain Noise Grrrrr

    That means I would have to clean and lube my chain during a long ride!!!

    e-bike that look like a normal bike

    Thats the main limiting factor especially as I have a damaged coccyx. I have a Selle split saddle with Suntour NCX seatpost on my MTB which works well and I can do 100 mile rides on that. I decided to try the original Marin sadle and seatpost on this bike for its first ride and was amazed to...

    e-bike that look like a normal bike

    Yes,12S 32Ah in one side and 14S 32Ah in the other so good for at least 120 miles. BBSHD fitted with 46T x 12T-36T gearing so good for 34Mph and not found a hill it wont go up.

    Lipo balance charger recommends.

    I have one of those as well. 3 years old and works fine. I also have 3 B6's that all read differently and can be way out from each other!! Only dodgy.

    Don't assume your chain and cassette are worn if the chain skips!

    Last time my chain started skipping on the 11T gear I lubed the chain with Muc Off C3 Ceramic lube and managed another 600 miles+ before it started skipping again and I could even push hard on the pedals while on full throttle and no skipping! I wont use anything else now. Aldi sell it when they...

    How do people get such long range?

    I find that using 64Ah of batteries helps with range a bit.

    Full length mudguards for 27.5 x 2.1 tyres

    I have the SKS ones on my Marin and they are spot on. No more lifting feet up when hitting a puddle although it did take a while to get used to that.

    First look at the new Woosh FB Six

    The power of an ebike motor shouldnt come into it at all. Wether a bike has 250 watts or 10,000 watts if its limited to 15.5 Mph then thats all it will do. It will just get to max speed quicker and keep the speed on steeper hills.

    Bafang BBS02B - If Carlsberg made mid-drive e-bike motors...

    I can set my BBSHD to UK legal spec using the Dillenger switcheroonie. I tried it a while back and it works perfectly , good for riding in towns etc,not that I live near any!

    Bafang bbshd

    Yes,thats exactly what I did,replaced the BBS02 with the BBSHD swapping only motor(and LCD as I got the colour one). I did get the full kit though so I could put the 02 on my other bike. Just make sure you get the 68mm motor and NOT the 73mm as the 68mm fits 68 and 73mm and even fits on an 83mm...

    Bafang bbshd

    Euanora on Ali Express is where I got mine at a bargain price and I know of 4 other people who have bought same from them. Delivery took 9 days and he put the value at $100 so very little duty to pay.

    Partial strip down/service on BBS02

    I hope that's smooth peanut butter and not the crunchy type:confused:

    can you change spindle length on bbs mid drive motors?

    You can get 68mm,73mm,100mm and 120mm that I know of.

    Chainline offset for BBSHD and hub gear - how much is too much?
