Thanks for the input guys do you think a hardtail with fat tyre's makes a better commuter than gravel with fat tyre's, I'm not a strong cyclists but do climb the various steep long hills around here its just commuting I didn't want to make it too much of a drain

Hi all, I've more or less decided on a conversion kit for my commute which involves some back roads and trails, bafang mid motor, I have 2 bikes one a Trek Roscoe 9 hardtail 27.5 2.8 tyres 36 tooth single front 11 speed, And a pinnacle arkose X 650b 2.1 tyres 42 tooth front SRAM rival Now the...

That's very interesting and I like the minimalist look, especially considering the weight. My only gripe is the cost it's priced over 600 now and where I live in Shropshire there's some quite long steep inclines, one on the commute is 2 miles! I have the arkose X with fatter tyres as I try to...

Hi Neal which particular kit was it and was the fitting straight forward how much weight was added and how is it performance wise thanks Nigel

My other bike is hardtail Trek Roscoe 9 looks a bit better but not sure about the sealed bottom bracket it's marked do not disassemble? It's a Shimano sm bb52 I presume it still can be taken out? Oh and it's only 30t chain ring

Guys Im almost pulling the trigger on a bbs01b 48v just check out the underneath of my bottom bracket on my pinnacle arkose X look's like it will be a challenge

Cool thanks for the info

Hi I've almost decided on a bbs01b 48v or tsdz2 just wondering which site's online to order from for reliability and value thanks Nigel

I like it, I thought being 48v it would need higher capacity I don't really understand the electrical maths I'm looking to do a 20 mile commute it has some steep hills one's 2 miles long and some will be on trails but I can charge at work so the batteries I was looking at were as much as the...

Sorry Pete just a bit confused, so are you saying your preference is the bbs01b 48v rather than tsdz2 48v and the more programmable bbs01b 36v?

Thanks Peter so is there any advantage in going with the 48v if it's locked out compared to the programmable 36v ?

Thanks Jim, well I'm slowly narrowing it down, I know now my choices are limited as both my bikes gravel, and MTB are thru axles so looking like only middrive hard choice now is between bbs01 and tsdz2 some say the PAS is hard to get on with but then the bafang seems to be s little less...

Thanks again for the great info

Oh okay thanks mines an 11 speed SRAM hopefully no worries

Thanks for your input, could you tell me what chain type is needed, is yours the 36v 250w or 48v and I've heard you can program it for more power is this right and have you tried it or have you found it powerful enough for your needs thanks sivy

Yeah it seems crazy when you can get s better power specced unit for almost the same price, Any how the 2 I have in mind are tongsheng tsdz2 or the bafang bbs01b would you go with the torque controlled unit?

Just wondering apart from being involved in an accident are they going round checking bikes, checking power output, etc I'd take a guess unless you were being an idiot and got reported you would have to be extremely unlucky.

Thanks for the reply, is it worth the risk of going over the 250w for the short bits of road what is the penalty for getting caught as I haven't really heard much about it. The thing is I do like hitting the trails but as I'm getting older 57, I'm finding the climbs more tedious and I'm sure I'd...

Hi I'm looking at converting either my gravel bike or my hardtail for a 23 mile commute which will have a mix of mainly canal and trail with a small section of road.im out in Shropshire so quite hilly. With the hills and distance in mind am I stuck with 250w in the UK and would this be enough, I...
