    Old Carrera Vulcan Bafang rear hub conversion

    Thank you - ordered - by default they seem to come with right rear / left front, but they swap them over if you ask in the order notes - I have ordered extra long 1550mm for the rear so that I can have Dutch style handlebars like @Waspy

    Old Carrera Vulcan Bafang rear hub conversion

    Found some hydraulic brakes (Shimano mt200) There are various options on Ali express, with or without rotors. The options with rotors have 160mm rotors. My bike has 180mm rotors, can I just order the versions without rotors and it will fit or do I need an adapter? eg here

    Old Carrera Vulcan Bafang rear hub conversion

    Any guidance on which hydraulic disc brakes to fit ? Are they disc rotor dependent ? I might have to get a longer cable (pipe?) because I wanted to fit swept back riser (Dutch style) handlebars There seems a lot for sale where they are right rear / left front which is the wrong way round?

    That is a lovely looking bike and a step through with hydraulic disc brakes - is there space for a LHS pas sensor?

    Batteries Charging Routine

    Yes - I noticed that when I tested the voltage when full on my 36V 20Ah battery - I was thinking that may end up with a longer life battery

    Low step for a man yes or no?

    Yes - I did try to find a step through with disk brakes which would take wide tyres without success - how about a broken 705 - replace the battery / controller / display - probably can leave the motor if it is working

    Old Carrera Vulcan Bafang rear hub conversion

    But a motor will supply far more power than a human (even Chris Boardman !) could ever do ?

    Old Carrera Vulcan Bafang rear hub conversion

    Thanks, I have a bafang bbs02b mid drive on my mountain bike, but I thought for my "everyday" bike a hub kit might be less stressful on the chain, gears, etc. By power based assist levels Vs speed based assist levels I mean level 1 is 20% of power, level 2 is 40% power rather than level 1 is...

    Help! Looking for an alternative to Swytch and would appreciate some advice in Conversion Kits General Discussion.

    Wisper 705 t

    The one minus the battery has problems that you weren't able to sort ? If I was buying a second hand ebike ,I would assume the battery was worthless unless I had very good evidence otherwise. Maybe £300-£400 for the one that is working and £150 for the one that isn't ?

    Old Carrera Vulcan Bafang rear hub conversion

    My niece (who is medical student) has asked to "borrow" my Claud Butler step through which I converted (which sounds like a good way of getting around campus !) I will have to give her strict instructions on battery care !! So I could do with a "road bike" as well as my Boardman 29er BBS02B...

    Hailong Battery mount spare

    Hi all, For my next project I was going to do another rear hub conversion of a Whyte Calendonian hybrid. I have already a mid drive 48v BBS02B conversion of my Boardman 29er. I wanted to be able to swap the Hailong 48v 20ah battery (Samsung cells) between these two e-bikes depending on which...

    Just looking for some advice please.

    Yes, agreed, will definitely check out the seller and the bikes "history" and If they have any documentation/ service history The seller says "Bike is 6 or 7 years old it has had routine maintenance, there are no issues it’s not used regularly"
