Yes I agree the battery supply must be constant, just don't understand why it only happens when assist is reduced from 3 to 2. No other changes of assist will induce the fault, nor will it reoccur during the same ride. I will recheck connections and cables for damage. Many thanks

Hi All BBS01 cuts out when reducing assist from level 3 to 2, strangely this only seems to happen once per ride. Screen goes blank with loss of assistance for approx 3 seconds then returns to normal with level 2 as selected. Everything works as expected for the rest of the ride regardless of duration. Have checked connections all ok, could it be some kind of programming issue?. Programming is stock as delivered with five levels of assist selected, I have changed assist to 9 levels and will see what happens on tomorrow's ride. This is a recent conversion and only covered 120 miles, no problem for the first 60 miles. Has anyone else experienced this issue or know of a remedy? Thanks Steve

Thanks

Good price, thanks

Stock settings at the moment, will get a lead and have a look. Any suggestions for programming.

Hi All Thanks for all the advice and encouragement. Finally got my bike finished, went out today for the first ride came back 16 miles later with a huge grin. Thought I would miss the torque sensor from previous bike, after the first few miles I prefer the BBS01 cadence and throttle. Exceeded my expectations by far, will start looking for a suitable MTB for the next conversion. Think I might have caught the bug!!!

$19 from Luna USA, will find out shipping and duty

Seen it used in a couple video's being bashed with a mallet, looks qualty did you find a uk supplier? Thanks

Good idea, never thought of that. I have a pair that I used to wrangle a frozen seat post. Those things never seem to loose grip. Thanks

Thanks for the advice, oddly enough I bought a selection of heat shrink from Lidl couple of weeks ago thinking I will probably never use it. Hoorah for the middle of Lidl Thanks Steve

Thanks guys Kit arrived this morning, motor looks well made and solid. Had to order a low profile cable guide for the bottom bracket and some shallow head screws for the battery carrier. Bought a Bafang type spanner from eBay but really poor quality, can anyone recomend a good one. Any recommendations on battery/motor connections. Came with the standard bullets. XT60 was included by the supplier. Could keep thing simple and just solder. I would like to terminate in the battery cradle if the motor cable is long enough. The motor has 2 additional cables 6v feed for lights and gear sensor, these will probable not be used and will need to be water proofed at the connectors. I will try amalgamating tape as I have seen it recommended on the forum. Thanks Steve

Thanks appreciate the info, the lekkie components do look really good quality. Nice to be able to grease the gears without removing the cover, will definitely go down the lekkie route once the kit is installed. Thanks Steve

Thanks for the advice, I will look into them one once I have fitted the kit. Should arrive early next week. I will have more idea of ideal chain ring size when tested, ordered with A 44t just a stab in the dark on my part. I have seen the bling rings advertised anywhere from £50 to well over £100. Any idea on best place to buy and what I should be paying Thanks Steve

Decided to go the Bafang route, ordered a BBS01b. Some say the stock chain ring is appalling, is it really that bad or will it do for now. The Lekkie Bling rings seem to be very expensive, has anyone found a cheaper alternative. Thanks Steve

Thanks for the info, it seems the Bafang might be the more robust option.

My last bike was a torque sensor and I found it very comfortable with only 40Nm of torque. Have you noticed any difference in reliability, motor noise and battery range between the two? Do you have a personal preference. Thanks Steve

Thanks for the speedy reply Bike is a Specialized Crossroads xl,should convert easy. Mostly it will be used on tarmac, some light gravel, easy forest trails. Initialy intended for this to be a tempory ride while waiting for e bike stock to recover and new models to arrive. I find it very hard to find a bike that fits, long body short legs so now i think this may be the way to go, could get addictive. Thanks Steve

Hi All After digesting lots of valuable info from this from this forum I am now leaning toward a mid drive option. I think it will provide more torque for hill climing with a heavy rider, also it will allow me to keep existing QR wheels. The two obivious options seem to be TSDZ2 or BBS01b. I have read a lot of conflicting reports on reliability from Tongshen/Bafang users. The TSDZ2 has repoted issues with the blue gear and sprag bearing, although both items seem to be readily available, inexpesive and easy to replace. BBS01 seems to have some history of controller failure, latest version is advertised with upgraded 6 mosfet controller. Torque sensing and ability to fit standard chain rings would be a plus for TSDZ2, but the instant throttle response of the bafang would be a bonus. Any comments or advice would be very welcome. Thanks Steve

Thanks

Hi All I was intending to fit Woosh SWX02 48V Kit with Bafang 60 Nm motor, but they are not available until early November. Can anyone suggest a viable alternative. I would like the controller to be integral with the battery housing to keep things tidy if poss. The bike is a Specialized Crossroads XL with a 7 sped freewheel Thanks Steve

Sorry for late reply I had a look at a Whisper that was in a bike shop being serviced yesterday, It did look a quality bike. Decided to fit a Woosh rear wheel kit to my trusty Specialized Crossroads for now. Could always do with a spare/shopping bike. Now I can take my time choosing new bike.

Looks like a great bike, gets good reviews. Don't know how practical it would be for me. 80% of my riding is on tarmac. Will try for size when i see one on the shop floor

Looking for a replacement bike not as easy as I thought. Tried the Gran Camino at Woosh today, unfortunately to small in the frame. Also having been spoilt with a good torque sensor any thing else seems unmeasured and disproportionate , but that's just personal preference. Any recommendations for large hybrid with TS, would like to keep within £1800 if poss. Looking around has made me realize that Decathlon bikes are exceptional value.

Returned bike to Decathlon, received a full refund for the bike and accessories almost no questions asked after a quick check over by a tech guy. Unbelievably good service, hats of to this side of the business. Guy in the worship thinks a new model Riverside with crank drive motor will be out in the next few months. Oh well of to Woosh we go
