    Bafamg mid drive - where to buy

    Actually it is harder this year. Wages go up, energy bills go up, people spend less and search out more for sales and special offers demand is stymied by fire stories in the media. The value of the Pound is lowest since 1985. The only thing that's better is container cost is quite low...

    Advice needed before i make decision on whether to purchase bike

    everything we talked about is new, not secondhand. the OP wanted to buy a new step through and put a conversion on it. The step through donor bike costs £349 at present, if he/she puts a TSDZ2B + a 48V 10AH bag battery for example for around £500, the total would come in under £900. He/she can...

    What do you think of my new bike?

    I posted the picture of the battery. It is removeable. The frame has the normal lock and keys. I don't know yet the load rating of this type of racks. I think it's no worse than the usual racks with rods attached to the seat stays. The seat stay rods are not load bearing anyway.

    Advice needed before i make decision on whether to purchase bike

    there is no way that bike is as good mechanically and electrically as a new bike + conversion kit for a similar budget (£800-£900). My mechanics used to say that low cost e-bikes are made of cheese. That's something I worked on for years to avoid.

    Battery has Bafang form factor so you can find replacements on the net. They gave me a 48V 15AH on the sample, I paid only for a 48V 10AH.

    agreed, I am allowed to advertise being a trade member. It's important to collect opinions so if any change is found desirable, I can still make it before commiting to production run.

    What do you think of my new bike?

    most of my customers are 'traditionally built' anyway. So I have chosen one of the strongest frames, look at the thickness of the toptube. It should cope with 25st riders. One good thing about going with a crank motor is that the stress on the rear spokes are much reduced compared to a rear hub...

    I thought you are against all front hubs

    Advice needed before i make decision on whether to purchase bike

    It's an excellent donor bike, suitable for rear hub, front hub and bottom bracket kits. You still need to factor in the cost of mudguards.

    What do you think of my new bike?

    I checked a similar rack on a wisper bike parked in Southend-On-Sea high street sometime ago, it's rock solid. The decision to go with a frame mounted motor as opposed to BB motor is the lack of flex at around the bottom bracket area yielding a lower battery consumption. Also, in the long run...

    15A. If there is a configurator, someone is going to push it to 20A.

    What do you think of my new bike?

    It's not black, it's matt black.. seriously, it should still look chic after a few thousand miles. Fashion comes and goes, I have tried black, white, gunmetal blue, black + yellow, black + red etc. Matt black seems to avoid unwanted attention and stay chic over time. Bafang charge so much...

    What do you think of my new bike?

    there's a video somewhere. I watched it last year and liked it. It looks a bit like a drill chuck. The harder you pedal, the chuck opens more.

    Bafamg mid drive - where to buy

    there is a large existing supply chain for Bafang BBSes, so there is no point for me trying to compete with Ali, ebay and amazon sellers. You can get gear shift sensors on Ali for about £10 or £20 on ebay. The main thing dealing with UK established dealers is the support should you ever need it...

    yes, they will be sorted. You can remove the motor quite easily. Just 3 bolts.
