Love my Bafang BBS01 mid drive conversion. Love too the fact I can buy a Samsung celled 17.5ah (630wh) battery for under £200. The equivalent battery from Bosch is over £700. So for £700 for the Bafang and 2 x 17.5ah batteries plus donor bike, the DIY route is about a third of the equivalent...

Yep, looking forward to it :) Feb last year, commute to work, great fun

Just noticed this, a number of reductions acorss their website, the satndout deal 11.11 flash sale on a 48v Hailong battery, none in stock but presumably they will have some tomorrow ? https://yosepower.com/collections/all-collections/products/flash-sale-48v12-5ah-down-tube-battery

if you've got the 12.5ah battery 40km should be easily achievable unless you hit strong headwinds and big hills

I suspect once you've got over the 'Hipster' novelty of the Vanmoof, if you buy a CX motored MTB as well you'll be choosing that for most rides (other than posing around town)

Hi all, Was wandering around Weymouth Quayside with the kids yesterday, and was stopped in my tracks, wow ebike cafe! Haven't got any details but look forward to visiting when open

A pannier rack and rack bag I find useful for commuting, somewhere to stash all of the different wet/cold weather gear you'll need for all year round riding. You might ride in on a warmer dry morning, only for it to be cold and lashing it down for the ride home later in the day. Oh, and you'll...

Yep, whatever happened to him? He knew his stuff alright. Wonder what forum he hangs out on now...;)

from what I can see from a quick google search is that these Gunai bikes are based around rear hub motors, so if Aliexpress are sending you just the motor, you will need to undo all of the spokes and replace the wheel into the the new replacement hub...not a simple task to do well, you'll need...

if you like the idea of a mid drive but want to be able to fix cheaply if issues convert an existing bike with a bafang bbs01, they offer more grunt than the alp motor too

The regular marathon or energiser is a lot lower rolling resistance, lighter tyre and still gives great protection and better grip than the MP's. I think they offer the best compromise unless you ain't bothered about range or better grip (in which case get the MP's)

Yep agree, VFR is all over this forum helping out with advice and technical queries, and has been for many years, the 'go to guy'. He also is to the point and cuts through the BS, which is a characteristic I like in folk

do the power segments on the right hand side jump up and down at the same time as the issue ?

an early 2020 bike will still be under warranty with Halfords. Not sure if the warranty was transferable, but if the seller was a mate, he/she might be able to return it to Halfords store and pose as the current owner

If I was in the market for a lightweight folding bike, I might look at this https://promotion.geekbuying.com/promotion/fiido_d11_folding_electric_bike?from=addthis-left £800 11.6ah battery 12.9kg 7 speed 20" wheels Perhaps a head to head test could be arranged, after all, at £500 less, that's...

Nice clean build. Have you reprogrammed the motor yet or are you running on the stock settings?

wow! there must be what 80 bikes in that pic, so 20% of back order, must of been in the region of 400 on order :-) It's great to see ebikes really taking off now in the UK, one positive around covid19 with people's changing choices to commuting and leisure cycling. I'm seeing so mamy more...

I've been running Smart Sam Plus tyres for the summer, about 1k miles so far on them, very pleased, good grip off road and pretty grippy too on tarmac, and have a center tread that rolls well. Not a single puncture so far. Mine are 700c x 1.75in, and I've found a great price here at about £38...

I thought the latest 'B' version threw up an error when trying to reprogram the 250w from 15a to 18a, in which case you need the 350w physical controller to run at 18a ?

Aren't the controllers different on BBS01 250w and 350w ?
