8fun crank drive kit

[shemozzle999]

Hi Because off the issue with support I think we will stay with complete kits our battery has a 50A BMS

the Motor will demand 30Amps and most cheap 48 volt batteries will only give 20Amps

Frank

Hi Frank,

What time warantee will your Company be providing on the motor and transmission?

Will you be stating any restrictive type of use exclusions on the kit if it will be drawing 30A @ 48v?

 

[banbury frank]

Hi Our kit will have a 12 month warranty on the motor kit and battery

Battery subject to a 70% capacity after 12 months

Any limitations on use that can void that waranty?

Hi with a 750 watt motor i think it is meant to take some stick not sure how long the chain and gear set will last

It wont be covered if you go off road and hit a rock and smash the case

The 750W 48v version is now available from Alibaba. Single unit 440 USD, shipping to UK 75 USD, so about£320 total, plus any import duties etc.....

Not sure if this will be the same as the 2014 version or not. Anyone?

I think if this was coupled with a NuVinci N360 rear hub it would make a very capable bike, IMO.

If you have three cogs can you keep them or do you lose two when going for crank drive?

Does anyone know if this kit can be fitted as a pedal assist only without the throttle and cut out brake levers (im thinking hydraulic brakes)
Any info appreciated asap as I'm about to order one....
Has anyone got hands on experience with it yet....
Silly question, but how would it compare to a Bosch unit (apart from being a fraction of the cost!!)
Thanks in advance )

In answer to your questions st1vo,

Yes, it can be pedelec only without the brake lever cut offs connected.

Yes, hands on experience, we sell and install them.

In my humble opinion the biggest difference between this and the Bosch system is the price.......plus the fact that there is no Bosch kit.

One of our demo bikes with a BBS-01 kit fitted.​

that's what I've got.
You set the assist level (I leave the LCD at level 1 most of the time, only bump up to 3 on hills) then just pedal away.
It works OK. I'd say the output is about the same as you'd get on a Bosch bike but power delivery is not precisely synchronized like Bosch bikes. Perhaps it's better with throttle.
The weight is comparable to a Bosch bike. Mine weighs about 20 kgs.

 

[st1vo]

Thanks for the replys...
When you say 'it works OK' do you mean OK as in great, or OK as in not too bad?!!
Any experience of the gladway bikes with the centre drive built into the frame??

 

[st1vo]

specifically the am209-a

It would be better to fit brake switches if you can. There is a slight delay between stopping pedalling and the power cutting off. There's always solutions for hydraulic brakes, but if you don't have the ability to find one, you can always change the back one for a cable one. It's the front that does all the stopping.
