    Keeping the display dry, is it needed?

    Hello. I have a Bafang C965 display. I read in one of the manuals that this is water resistant but not water proof. Is this correct (only resistant) and is it something I need to worry about? Will the thing malfunction if it gets too wet in the rain? If so how do you keep yours dry? I rode...

    Use of gears and pedal assist

    Thanks for the responses, fantastic as ever. The main thing I had was changing down gear too low meant my chain line was out (I have a damaged bafang where the bottom bracket is bent in, mentioned in another thread). So if I am in low gear the gear change slips a few times, then chokes and then...

    Use of gears and pedal assist

    Hello. I am wondering how you guys use your gears? I have a centrally mounted motor with shimano 8 speed derailleur. I am trying to figure out how to get the most out of the pedal assist with gears. Sometimes it seems just leaving it in 5th is the best performance for cycling along and...

    I have a C965 display for my Bafang BBS01. I cannot find how to set the wheel dimension on the thing. The documentation I found online says that I can enter a settings menu by double press on the power button. This does nothing but if I press the plus and minus buttons together I get to some...

    BBS01 - shorten wiring loom

    Thanks for all the replies. So it looks like the Alcedo is a possible solution. Especially if it fits in the down tube, which is not vacant as I have removed the front gear change for the BBS. So cool nice one it looks like the solution. What a fantastic forum. cheers

    BBS01 - shorten wiring loom

    Hello. Just in the process of fitting a Bafang BBS01 to my bike. I have it all wired up but the wiring loom is very long I have had to snake it around the frame all the way up to the controller and brakes and it is still overly baggy for my liking. Is there a way to shorten the loom? If...

    Here is my experience with BMS Battery

    Personally I would not recommend using them. My experience is that I ordered a motor and battery. First off they messed around with the dispatch date and changed the courier and asked for extra postage. Once I received the motor it was damaged so that it could not be fitted to the bike. I...

    Damaged Bafang Fun8 does this sound like your motor?

    Yeah I am no mechanic. The reason it is damaged is that the company did not pack the item correctly in the first place it was loose in the box with some broken polystyrene thrown it. For me this is the responsibility of the company to at least try to pack it correctly if it is travelling so...

    Damaged Bafang Fun8 does this sound like your motor?

    Thanks for viewing and the replies. Yes the claiming path is the one I originally wanted to take but bmsbattery.com are not being very co-operative on that front and suggest I fix it. As I say I would not recommend using bmsbattery.com and won't be returning to them.

    Damaged Bafang Fun8 does this sound like your motor?

    I have bought a Bafang Fun8 motor from a China company (BMS Battery.com I would *not* recommend them). The motor was damaged when I received it. The bottom bracket shaft is bent towards the body of the motor. The company suggest I try to bend it back but I am worried that internals of the...
