    Hub verses External gears for mid drive

    Have already done what you`re thinking about! BBS02 750W conversion, now with an Alfine 8 hub that replaced the derailleur. Nice to be able to change gear when stationary or at a junction, straight chainline, just replace the hub cog if you want more speed or climbing ability, cheap at around a...

    Panda Bikes any advice!

    Activity The 31.01.15 accounts indicate that the company is either dormant or no longer trades. and a two minute search on ebay gives their home address, email ad and phone number, possibly you both were buying from the same chinese Panda bike factory ?? !!

    Bafang Max Drive

    wouldn't worry that much about the frame dropouts, mine were almost vertical so used a chain tensioner - BBS02 with Alfine 8 hub.

    Genuine Shimano 11-34 Tooth Freewheel Hyperglide-C MegaRange 7 Speed Gear Set

    Genuine Shimano 11-34 Tooth Freewheel Hyperglide-C MegaRange 7 Speed Gear Set

    well don`t complain, i did offer you one of these before if you remember, think it was £35 at the time. certainly a good screw-on freewheel well made, but the `get your ebike to 35mph` is a bit of a statement!

    Bike built and ready to go

    Ah, the Phaze! Simple, cheap and easy to convert, already has front sus and disc brakes, i found an old apollo phaze on Gumtree for £25, all i could salvage was the frame and the front rim, i replaced everything else. Done a BBS02 conversion inc. battery from BTN in China then added an Alfine...

    SR RAM Automatix

    a two-speed hub especially in your Ayrshire terrain, i don`t think so. i moved away from derailleur to an Alfine 8 IGH, what i appreciate most now is being able to change gear when stopped at junctions etc, having said that i could easily do with having only four gears to select from as with...

    BBS01 programming - that doesn't fry the controller

    the thing i notice about the BBS02 is that it always wants to go to a certain cadence irrespective of what PAS it`s in, i mean its difficult to have a leisurely ride just turning the pedals slowly. Can`t see much in the programming to change that??

    BBS02 where to grease for service

    iirc one crank comes off, then remove about six small screws that hold the plasticky cover, you`ll then see the metal drive, Be very careful replacing that plastic cover, you can crack it re-tightening the screws
