The 44t chainwheel will result in lower gearing, easier to pedal, higher motor cadence, less strain on the motor and you.. you've done the opposite by switching to the 52t chainwheel
Clearly the thread is turning into another Brexshit discussion, the same we've all been having for the last 3 years.
What I'm seeing now as a fact is I can't get the bike bits I want from the EU, so will have to pay much more £££ from UK sellers (if even available)
When I start seeing new...
All my usual euro suppliers now not offering shipping to the UK... Mantel.com, bike24.net, bike-discount.de, rosebikes etc
Wiggle, CRC, Tredz etc must be loving it...
Taking back control, but losing the choice, that's Brexshit for you
Welcome and good luck with the build. Plenty of really useful info on the board and just ask if any help or advice required. Once you are up and running, you'll be wanting to tweak and improve what you have...here's a useful thread for this...
I'll soon be moving my BBS01 350w to my 26" wheeled MTB. Just ordered a 11-40t rear cassette.
Do you think using the stock Bafang 44T front chainwheel and this new 11-40T on a 26" wheel will get me up hilly off road tracks with a bit of my own effort ?

Kepler's settings (purple) works great for me on my BBS01, get good range, and assistance is natural and smooth, without dropping up and down, with the exception is that I set the 'keep current' to 100% (on the...
Just fit some Schwalbe Smart Sam Plus as wide as your chainstay will allow, I went with 1.75 inch wide on my Boardman Hybrid for the summer for a bit off roading, now I'm back on Energisers and full mudguards for winter road use
The Smart Sam Plus offer good puncture protection and roll well on...
forgot to add mine is a hybrid bike, and the cassette is 11-36 and the chainline is good just might have to adjust the derailleur for smooth shifting... offers a good range, but will be switching to a stock 44t bafang soon to give a little better climbing cadence
I run a 10 speed sram setup on my BBS01, no gear sensor, 2700 miles on the cassette and chain so far in the last year or so, using the stock bafang 46t chainwheel. It clunks a bit when shifting when on full power, but drop the assist level down and its fine. I get the 10spd sram cassette from...
I did this in the last couple of months as was expecting tax and duty hits post 1st Jan.
Got myself a couple of Hailong 36v 17.5ah Samsung celled batteries with chargers that exactly fitted my existing Hailong battery holder from a Aliexpress seller for about £180 each delivered, very pleased...
looks like this one

so now pswpower kits and batteries will be subject to vat at 17.5% etc payable by the end customer when shipped from EU (presumably this already is applied if arriving directly from China)?
In the market for a 2nd mid drive motor, already have a BBS01 36v 350W that I'm very happy with. Have 36v batteries, so would have to run the 36v TSDZ2.
My current BBS01 moved to and would be used for a MTB I have and mainly used off road.
The new motor would go onto my Boardman MX Comp...
