From my experience, I used to charge my last battery to 100% after every ride, and I personally think that's what caused it to degrade fairly quickly. It could be left anywhere between 1 day to 2 weeks between rides. My latest battery I charge to 100%, but only before I go out for a ride. When...

Nice find. So forum members, who may want a tyre like this, can make an informed decision, there is a difference between the two tyres in the links, even though they look similar. The tyre in post #3 has SmartGuard protection and more studs on the outer edges of the tyre. The tyre in post #4...

Apologies for rattling on, but your thread got me looking into winter tyres again. Whether these are new, or I just overlooked them last year, they appear to be a good choice for our unpredictable winter months...

I haven't any experience of the tyre you mention, but I would say, what is the price of your physical safety! In general, a thinner tyre should work better on frosty patches, as the concentrated contact area should push through the frosty surface to contact the road better. It certainly works...

Great video. With the right gearing, there's really not much stopping a BBS02 or BBSHD climbing any hill. The only limit is the traction at the rear wheel, which that lovely fat tyre on your bike offsets admirably :)

@Muddyfox Did you resolve the delivery issue?

It's difficult to know what to suggest, without actually riding your bike and playing with the programming settings personally. Unleashed, the BBS01 is probably capable of 20mph+ on the flat consistently. The only thing stopping it doing that, is the speed limit on the 'Pedal Assist' tab. I...

If I've read int You'll probably find that the issue is still the 'Keep Current' set too low. The way I think it works, is that the controller drops the current available, once the pedals are spinning fast, down to the percentage set in the 'Keep Current' tab. I have mine set at 100%, but I've...

Mine was dispatched on 27th Oct, delivered on 30th Oct via Hermes.

Sweet, glad you got it sorted. The thing with the Bafang motor, is that the PAS sensor is part of the final drive cog, not part of the pedal axle. If any overrun causes the chainring to keep rotating, then the motor keeps going. Must have been annoyingly confusing for you, when the main pedals...

If any of the drivetrain is causing the Bafang chainring to continue turning, even when the throttle is off, or pedals aren't turning, then the controller will be activated. Try taking the chain off the Bafang chainring and see if the issue is solved.

Have you got a programmimg cable to see if anything is amiss in the user adjustable settings? You can also use the cable to reload the firmware into the controller. A bit more complex, but something to think about as a last resort.

Just to add to vfr400's post. Does the pedal assist problem still occur with the throttle disconnected?

As I mentioned in a previous post, it's worth securing the battery also with straps, whatever solution you come up with. I use two of these, which fit nicely around the battery and frame: Alfatex® by Velcro® straps The size I use is 50cm x 2.5cm

Do you mean for toughness? and the plastic on the mounts, or the actual battery base?

The zip ties are ok for my set-up, because the 2 mounts nearest the motor have longer bolts to attach to the original water bottle frame mounts. I believe there are full metal universal cage mounts out there, which would probably be better suited. You can always use velcro straps to provide...

Difficult to see, but is that hole at the opposite end of the key lock, a mounting hole? If it is, then you might get away with mounting the baseplate to the frame using universal cage mounts: https://www.tweekscycles.com/uk/zefal-gizmo-iii-universal-cage-mounts-chizc199a/ If not, then I...

I run a 42T Bling Ring and it gives me better chain alignment from the stock ring, and also increases the torque for stronger hill climbing. You may not have alignment issues, so theoretically you could use an even smaller chaining. I'm a bit concerned that your bike is struggling up hills with...
