    Anyone ever tried to implement regenerative braking?

    I did a lap of the Isle of Wight yesterday... 85 miles on my BBSHD from a 17.5Ah 52v battery.... so I was running at very low power levels typically about 100-150w and coasting down hills. Its a heavy old beast and I was putting some effort in on the hills. There's a lot of hills and they're...

    How do I calculate how many calories I’ve burned?

    My brain hurts… I cycled 50 miles in 6 hours. Strava says 2,600 calories. My 52v battery lost 5.75Ah. I was keeping the power down very low to maximise range and get a bit of exercise too. How can I calculate how many calories of the above the motor is responsible for?

    Recommended battery storage/charging box?

    anyone recommend a fire resistant box to keep an ebike battery in? Are there any that provide provision for charging it whilst in the box? otherwise I’m thinking of buying an army surplus ammo box, although not sure if drilling a 5mm hole to pass a charging lead into it would be a bad idea!

    What is the bafang bbs pedal assist algorithm?

    I’ve been bench testing my BBSHD and I’m confused by the pedal assistance. Is the crank output a fixed RPM for each pedal assist level, and pedalling is purely an on/off switch? Or does the motor turn faster depending on how fast you’re pedalling? I’d assumed the second, but it seems to be...

    How to run a BBSHD48v at 52v?

    I have a 48v/30a stamped BBSHD. I'd quite like to run it at 52v as the battery I've chosen comes in 48/52v variants that are exactly the same size/casing and close in price and it'll give a bit longer range. I'm intending on getting a serial cable so I can alter the power delivery/limits etc...

    BBSHD fettling and anti-rotation mounts…

    Hey, Offering my new BBSHD up to my frame and my chain line is in line with the 3rd smallest cassette gear of 11. I can improve this a bit by dremmeling a couple of MM of the back of the main gear casing, see the area marked with pencil lines below. I could do with that couple of mm the other...

    Best display for a bafang bbshd?

    I see pswpower offer no less than 8 different displays for the bafang bbshd. How do you go about choosing one?? I id rather something small and discreet than something that looks like an iPhone. Dont want a touchscreen as cycle with gloves. What’s the purpose of Bluetooth? Are any clear...

    Could some kindly take some measurements of a tongsheng and bafang mid drive?

    I’m building a mid drive ebike as a project with my 14 year old son. I’m concerned that the rear chain stays are quite wide on our frame and may foul on the outer gear housing. I’ve looked at the engineering drawings for tongsheng and bafang units but they don’t show all the measurements and...
