you have heard correctly rippedupno1. The Empire of the Fun's top scientists have come up with a novel method to boost the torque factor of their BBS engines to near infinity. There are rumours that they use a neutrinoic magnetic capacitor to control the GHG (googol hyperglide) freewheel. The...

I wasn't going to say this but after I have tried the 350W, I feel there is not much point buying the 250W version.

you need a special tool to remove some of them. If you can't find the 9-speed freewheel, the alternative is to replace shifter and derailleur to a more common 7-speed Tourney. A note of caution to all those who consider their first conversion: post pictures of your bike and shopping list here...

I have never come across a 9-speed freewheel. I thought 11T sprocket has too small diameter to fit a freewheel.

I don't have throttle on my bike - I only tested the demo bike at Woosh, that one has a throttle. I think you should test the new BBS01, I was mightily impressed with the way 8Fun took the best out of European made crank drives and improved on it, albeit just slightly. Who would have thought to...

you've got to try the BBS01 18A. I wish I had a bike cam with me to show how clever the new 8Fun bbs01 is. If you look down at the chainring and the cranks (you cycle on some deserted track), as soon as you stop pedalling, the chainring stops about 6-7 links after you, at 60 RPM (my favourite...

this forum is more helpful to anyone considering commuting with an e-bike and it's very balanced. You have Tillson & oldtom versus D8veh, both sides are well represented. Julie has to start at 4am to be at work at 6am. It's not sport, it's about finding a reliable and competent transport where...

I mean opening the C961, remove the little 3V battery, wait a couple of minutes and refit or replace the battery.

it's a major challenge. The high mileage restricts the choice and you can't have a flashy bike because as you said, you have no secure place to keep it. If the bike is exposed, the rain is going to damage your electrics. I think a CD kit conversion is the best choice because it's not flashy...

post pictures of the donor bike here, members will point out what to watch out for. In my experience, BBS01 is the only plug and play kit if such things exist.

remove the C961 silver battery to force a reset.

there is a difference. A manufacturer can slap their EN15194 sticker over it, and we can't. That's why I've been posting about unfairness when more powerful motors like the BPM and Impulse and Bosch Performance are street legal and the 18A BBS01 is not.

not. It does not feel as powerful as the BPM motor though. The '36V 350W' is printed on the underside of the motor. You need to turn the bike upside down to see it. you have to push on the pedals a bit, making it very close to riding a Bosch bike. There are quite a few improvements in...

I tested the BBS01 18A 350W today. You have to push a bit on the pedals, no longer just rotating the cranks. Could have sworn that there is a 'click' when I start pushing on the pedal and a 'click' when I stop pedalling. It seems like some kind of pedal sensor, it cuts the power immediately when...

the one musicbook was offered is this one (2014): John's link to the surosa.co.uk website is the older model with BionX motor.

that one has the old BionX motor.

On the BBS02 kit, the whole of the battery cable is exposed to rain, it needs to be placed inside a conduit or large heat shrink tube. if you worry about bullet connectors getting loose, I suggest re-inforcing them individually with two 3cm pieces of 8mm heat shrink tubes...

it seems to me that this design introduces a small amount of play in the cable.

don't worry about the connector. You can replace them with these bullets: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorcycle-Bullet-Connector-3-9mm-Male-Female-Japanese-Socket-Classic-Terminal-/170711501780

yes, it's a very good deal. Your dealer must be pretty desparate. Who is it?
