Ok, I've ordered the grease so will see what happens

What is the recommended grease for the BBS1?

I'm not keen on opening it up. I'd rather send it for a service

Does anyone know anyone who services a BBS1b.? Mine has started making a strange noise when I pedel.

I'm looking for someone that might be able to repair my BBS01 Their is no drive to the pedals. The motor runs, but nothing happens and when I pedal it does not drive the main cog. Robert

let me know if you get it sorted

Try dropping down a couple of gears and let me know if the problem is still there.

I have managed to narrow the issue down a little. Its not the speed sensor as it seems to be working fine. What I have noticed is that the problem seems to be related to the speed of the BBS motor. their seems to be certain RPM the make the motor cut out.

ok, I'll have a look. Why would that only affect the power at slower speeds?

Hi, I have a BBS1 that has a problem. When I start off, until I reach about 10-12 MPH, the motor keeps cutting out. Watching the display, I can see the motor drawing watts, then it drops to zero then back up. This keeps happening until the speed goes over about 12 mph then it settles down and is fine. It does not appear to be linked to the amount of power being supplied, its appears purely linked to speed. Anyone have any idea as to a fix for this?

I've a Hailong 3 36v battery and I cant get it to power up. When I first got it, it took a couple of switches on and off to get it to stay on, now I cant cant get it to stay on at all. I've wired up some lights to the battery and when I switch it on they flash once. Initially I thought it was the main switch on the battery, but I am now thinking it could be the BMS. Would a faulty BMS cause a fault like this?

Just had the battery charger fail now................not happy :-(

That is my conversion complete and I have been using it now for a couple of weeks. Some issues I have had. When below about 10mph, the motor keeps cutting out. I can see that the motor is pulling watts from the battery then it drops to zero then back to power. Once I reach around 12mph everything is fine. Is this normal? The magnetic brake sensors were a pain, the solution I found was to get some small bar magnets the little flat square ones that come with it are not really suitable. Lastly the power switch on the battery is not working and needs replaced. How do people protect the battery from water, is it all home made covers?

Ok, I've started my conversion and had a couple of issues so far. 1st I could not get my bottom bracket out, I bought a tool on Amazon and I don't think it was a good one as it kept slipping, so had to get my LBS to loosen it for me. 2nd problem is the battery, I need to install 2 new rivnuts as the current ones are too low down. Has anyone any tips for drilling the new holes, the tube has a rounded triangular section and the holes need drilled on the point. Also, are there any brackets going about to suit triangular section as I am worried that there is not enough section for the battery to sit on. 3rd, I went for the magnetic brake sensors, how have people attached these to the brakes, they come with some 3M adhesive, but that wont last very long. How do people permanently mount these. Also the magnet is quite a bit lower then the sensor, how far can the magnet be from the sensor.

Ok as I started this thread, I thought I would give an update on what I have gone for. In the end I have decided to go for a BBS01B 36v 350W, DPC14 colour screen, a 14.4ah battery and brake sensors. I ordered this last night and I'll give some updates with the fitting process
