And I thought fitting a BBS02 to my Trek Hybrid was the hard part. A rear puncture has me completely baffled. On inspection decided that tyre needed changing as well as tube. Tyre is a Bontrager and possibly many years old. Size says 32-622 700x32c, I purchased from Amazon a Marathon Plus of...

Fitted Bafang BBS02 750 watt with a 17.5ah battery 2 years ago to my 12 year old Trek Hybrid. Not really used it a great deal but have used it a few times over the last few weeks without issue. Decided to have it serviced and ending up needing new rear wheel, cassette and chain. Nothing was...

I fitted a Bafang mid drive kit with downtube battery to my Trek hybrid. Although working well, my dodgy knees and physical size are making it difficult to get on and off comfortbly and safely. I am 6ft 5in tall and just under 20 stones. My knees and weight are the reasons I want to do more...

Looking for a step thru for the wife either few or ideally no gears. Gtech City seems to sell for about £5-600 but with no guarantee. which is the Best Buy? thanks

I have added a Suntour seat post to my bafang BBs02 converted Trek Hybrid. Because of my weight I purchased the heaviest spring, when changing them over I realised there was grease on the standard spring but none on the new heavy spring, I need to add some. Searching Amazon for cycle grease...

As a complete novice, I thought I had done well fitting this kit. Unfortunately, not quite worked out how I expected. Obviously all my fault, first problem was right pedal falling off, new crank arm, sorted. Now the left crank arm has come loose where it attaches to the motor. When I got it...

Just converted my 2006 Trek Hybrid with a Bafang 750 Watt motor, 48v 17.5Ah battery. I am 20 stones. The original plan was to then convert the wifes smaller version of the Trek with a Bafang kit. She is about 9 stones and 5ft 2in tall. She is not a confident cyclist and would prefer in an...

I have become aware over the last few rides that my gear change is a bit clunky when changing under power. When power is turned off, the gear change feels normal. I fitted the gear sensor to cut off the motor when it senses the cable moving, having messed the gears up when doing this I took it...

Hi, I recently fitted BBS02 kit to my old Trek Hybrid, I used the crank arms that came with the kit. I did have a problem fitting new pedals with one pair from Amazon refusing to work, I could not get the thread to start. As someone in the reviews had mentioned the same problem, I decided it...

Following on from other threads I have now recieved the kit and started fitting it to my Trek Hybrid. First is that for some reason the motor connection does not just plug into the battery. I assume that the wire has to be joined to the two white plugs which are attached to the motor. Is there...

Hi, For those that might remember, I started the below thread just before the first 2020 lockdown. hence nothing much has happened since. https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/think-a-kit-is-the-cost-effective-option-but-at-18st-8lbs-i-may-be-wrong.36793/ A brief summary is that I purchased...

Hi, The background is that I purchased two electric cycles from Cytronex in Winchester 12 years ago. They were mainly for taking on our Motorhome. They are Trek Hybrids, you press the button and the motor kicks in and braking shuts it off, front hub motor, bottle battery. Although very lightly...

Both wires have become detached from my rear light. Originally, both wires went inside the casing, one became detached so I poked it through the hole in the spade terminal as a temporary measure. It worked OK. Now the other wire has also become detached i am looking for a better option...

Just wondering what if any routines people follow when arriving home on a very wet cycle (e or otherwise). Apart from a general wipe down, are there any other tricks/tips worth knowing. I expect the chain/gears require particular attention. I have seen somewhere a special chain lubricant...

I have a Cytronex which uses a standard Trek 7.3FX. I have been wondering whether it would be worthwhile learning how to do basic maintenance on it. Whenever I have taken anything off a bike (a long long time ago), it tended to stay off, especially the complicated looking bits, like the...
