    Eclipsebikes bottle battery pack

    Although no expert on batteries, I would say that as the Eclipse Bikes Bafang has a 25 amp controller, then this is the maximum current that I would personally be happy to draw from the Samsung battery. Bear in mind that this would be the peak current drawn from the battery and not continuous...

    Eclipsebikes bottle battery pack

    Exactly the same battery and motor kit that I'll be buying from them. They're getting some new batteries sometime in February, as they are out of stock at the mo. Have pestered them with various questions about the products and they have responded in a professional and timely manner. The battery...

    Bafang BBS01/02 kits and chain jump?

    So I can remove the handlebar shifter and cable and just leave the mechanism next to the chainring?

    Bafang BBS01/02 kits and chain jump?

    As the front derailleur is not needed with these kits, is it worth fitting one of these to help prevent the chain from jumping off the cog? Chain Guide Or are they a bit of an overpriced gimmick?

    BBS02 48v 750w, PAS and throttle sensitivity?

    Was wondering, when using this kit with the PAS or throttle and in the lowest gear, are there are any issues with traction on the rear wheel? Is the power fed into the system smoothly and progressively?

    News on hydraulic brake sensors for Bafang BBS02 48v 750w kit

    Just thought I'd give peeps a heads up on the hydraulic brake sensors for the Bafang BBS02 kit, currently sold by Eclipse bikes: http://eclipsebikes.com/bafang-bbs01-bbs02-hydraulic-brake-sensors-p-1109.html As you can see, they are not compatible with the Bafang BBS02 48v 750w kit. Luckily...

    Hidden wire brake sensor on Bafang BBS

    Oh no, my bad, this one on the same website looks like a good solution for hydraulics :) http://em3ev.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=41&product_id=196 Looks like I can go for a hydraulic disc braked bike after all.

    Hidden wire brake sensor on Bafang BBS

    After some good advice to steer away from rim brakes, I am probably going to compromise and settle for a bike with good mechanical disc brakes. I'm not prepared to run a Bafang BBS02 48v 750w kit without brake cut-offs. Seeing that there doesn't appear to be a satisfactory solution for plug n'...

    Will this battery fit in a 17.5" frame?

    I'm guessing you have one of these batteries already. Would you be able to work it out using the dimensions of your battery and the geometry specs from their website? http://www.gtbicycles.com/usa_en/2014/bikes/mountain/recreational-hardtails/2014-aggressor-2-0#bottom-products-area It's the...

    Will this battery fit in a 17.5" frame?

    Thanks Nealth. I don't have the option to measure the bike physically, but I can go on their website and cross reference the measurements you have provided.

    Will this battery fit in a 17.5" frame?

    Just wondering if anyone has got one of these style batteries fitted to a regular 17.5" frame? Inside the frame of course :p

    Nice looking bike, but don't think the battery will fit in the frame :(

    Opinions on this bike please

    Are you pulling my chain. Can you really get hydraulic rim brakes?

    Opinions on this bike please

    No probs rippedupno1. The only reason I was originally happy to get rim brakes again, was the fact that I had experience with a powerful set-up before and the bike stopped really well and efficiently. It was capable of reaching 28mph very quickly and in the grand scheme of things was a pretty...

    Thanks mfj197 and Nealh. In fact the BB issue never even crossed my mind originally.

    Opinions on this bike please

    Are you saying 73mm will work better than 68mm, or to aim for a bike with 68mm?
