    BBS02 chain derailment cured :)

    Originally, when I fitted my BBS02 kit to the bike, I stupidly thought that I could do away with the front derailleur cage. Unfortunately, with the original Bafang chainring, the chain would jump off on very bumpy ground, causing loss of drive. Even after fitting a customized 42T chainring, the...

    BBS01 programming - that doesn't fry the controller

    What capacity battery have you ordered? Michael has suggested some parameter changes that work for him and I've changed a few settings on my BBS02 that work for me, but bear in mind that changing the maximum amps to 18A, plus the 'Keep Current' to 100% will empty the battery much quicker than...

    Waiting for my Bafang BBS01

    You will feel a little more torque in each gear setting at 18A, but don't expect too much. You will probably find that it can hold speed on hills a little better. There's a hidden parameter called 'Keep Current', that you can only access with a special cable and Bafang software. This is usually...

    What type of wire for a 30amp controller ?

    I always use silicone wire, which is really flexible, weatherproof and robust. Flexible Silicone Wire Cable 8/10/12/14/16/18/20/22/24/30 AWG Red & Black If you scroll further down that link, there's a table of what size cable to get ;)

    Seat tube sizing?

    The spec size for my seat post is 27.2mm. Is there a standardized sizing for the seat tube relative to the seat post size? I've been looking at front derailleurs and there appears to be a few different sizes for the clamp.

    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    Bike looks good Charlie. Just keep an eye on the seat post rack for bending or cracking. I had the same battery set-up as yours many years ago, and the seat post eventually gave way due to the weight of the battery and vibration. Sorry, just noticed same post as DC. Tablet's a bit too small and...

    This forum has always had a smattering of silliness. That's what makes it so great :)

    I heard that the last time you met, you punched him in the face, kicked him in the balls and robbed his wallet and that's the reason he left the forum ... ... but that might just be a rumour :p

    Looking to buy Specialised Turbo. Can i have it re flashed?

    Thank goodness you ended that with confirmation it's your bike you're talking about. I may well take you up on that offer when the weather's not so miserable. Thanks Rob :)

    Looking to buy Specialised Turbo. Can i have it re flashed?

    No dongles, totally standard. I would never get past 15mph on the areas I ride and feel that better power control (torque sensor) and far superior bike components would suit me better. ... and yes, Rob wins the prize ;)

    Looking to buy Specialised Turbo. Can i have it re flashed?

    Now you're just being childish. At the end of the day, whatever topics get talked about in this forum, it still brings potential custom to the traders who advertise here. Someone might have been directed to this site after a Google search on 'where can I buy a fast electric bike'. They may or...

    New bike any experience of corratec

    No experience of Corratec, but being a German company, should be of high quality. Are you sourcing a bike from the UK?

    Ebay seller ' Electric Bike Conversions ' seem to be doing well :)

    Hi Dave, good to hear that you are enjoying the bike. Just out of interest, if the bike has hydraulic brake cut-offs, can you see how the cut-off function is activated.
