I’m in the process of rebuilding my gravel bike it’s a Canondale Caadx with hydraulic disc brakes. Thinking of a midrive system. Has anyone converted such a bike.

Hi having built my first ebike using the bbs01b motor and using it faultlessly for more than 18 months I’m thinking of building Another bike with a 48v system. It’s going to built round an old mountain bike 26” wheel. Are there any better motors on the market right now.

Hi it's been a while since I have posted. I.e. Been too busy enjoying my Ebike..anyway my bbs01b system with its Chinese 15ah battery has been faultless apart from me worrying about how waterproof this throttle switch is..has anyone had one of these apart and is there a good way to waterproof...

Hi people As the heading says how waterproof is it. Well as the weather starts to rain and the evenings draw in..I want to go cycling..But and here's the but..are they waterproofed enough for general riding I don't mean off-roading but maybe a few muddy paths..I'm not put off going out in the...

Hi I've spent a nice hot day converting my new 29er to mid drive.. After stripping everything from my lovely old 26" Carrera Kraken..I've got to admit I've been well impressed with my bbs01b setup and on the the old bike it worked really well. But it was only gona be a short lived thing before I...

well after shopping around for a while I've ended up with this Forme peak trail 1.0 29er. It's almost too pretty to convert. Purchased locally off eBay from Andy who built it for commuting but has found a 26"mountain bike a better option. I did give him the website details. Maybe another...

Hi it's been a while since I posted on here due to the fact I spend far to much time rideing my bike lol. It's been great and I would recommend the BBS01b system coupled with a fairly good battery it's been reliable and apart from me messing with the parameters on the laptop it's been great. I'm...

Hi I'm looking at building my next mid drive 29er and would like to know the difference between the 250 and 350w motor apart from the obvious. I've noticed the motors are advertised as bbs01b 250w 13T and the other is bbs01b 350w 13T.. Can I assume the motors are identical and the controllers...

Hi Guys I looking at the next build and would like to use a 29er or a frame up build. What is the best frame for the mid drive BBS setup .. A frame that actually fits the motor and will mount centrally with at least not too much messing about. I know it's all about bottom bracket and how the...

Well I've been riding for a few weeks now and thought it was time for a checkup. Anyway I've found the a few adjustments were required but while I was taking the chain ring off for another job I would check the grease situation Well I'm not sure but it looks a little on the dry side. And I have...

hi people Well this is what I've been messing with today..I've got this rather thin chainring adaptor..well it's ok so I've decided to try and increase the offset of the chainring. I don't have too much trouble with alignment but I know it's not quite right so this is a trial thing to find the...

Hi people I've been out on the ebike done about 17miles yesterday..battery started at 87% after the ride it was showing 50%. So I swapped to voltage on the display and it shows 36v exactly. The battery is 15ah hailong. With built in BMS and the lights on it show 2 out of the four..so half way...

Hi Guys I've been using my new build most days..I'm impressed with it..but I have front chain ring 46t and rear cassette 11- 32. Has anyone messed around with there gearing and found a good compromise. I find the 32t rear sprocket a bit abrupt..on the take up even with the start current turned...

Having watched the forum for a while and learning a few things from the more advanced users of the ebike world I've finally built my old Carrera Kraken into an ebike..and I must say its only 250w yes street Legal but it's not bad at all..the Bafang bbs01b seems to pull ok and does certainly help...

i could not resist the temptation to have a look ..well after a few changes here and there I can honestly say I'm impressed..the the DP C18UART display is not a real problem unless you really need access to 9 PAS Levels The bike works fine with the 5..in fact it bloody flys Keep current was at...

Hi I have this Bafang display with my bbs01b motor. And it shows only 5 Levels of PAS ..and Eco and sport mode. well I would like the 9 Levels. I've been in the advanced settings and can't find a way to alter it..even the vendor in China says it need custom install of PAS Level..well tell me...

well People I could not resist the temptation. I had to get out on the bike so I've fitted the mud guards and done a little 10mile run..up hills I wouldn't normally go..Well I must say in throttle mode it is good. In PAS mode I can't get used to that bogging down...it's like I'm fighting the...

Well that's it..maybe not..I've had a quick ride around the block and found the throttle assist..well it's ok ish..power assist mode this 250w bbs01b has 5 levels of assist they seem pretty good..I've never used an electric bike before so this is all new to me.. The power assist is a bit weird...

Hi people I'm on the last leg of the motor installation..i have to install the Battery and now have some Rivnuts 5mm and 6mm to fix the Battery mount to my frame. Main wiring loom and display still need tobe fitted ..A big thank you to the members on here for the helpful info this should be a...

I think the brakes may need upgrading..I've recalled them but they are not over good..maybe some new pads will help.
