Fair enough Username checks out You could just throw the finger up at the cars? They sound like they deserve it

I stand up when leaving lights usually, and always try to drop gears before a stop

Looks great, will definitely look into this more in the next few weeks, seems like it saves a lot of hassle when greasing. I thought the display might get damaged, I'll carry something to cover it with me from now on

Sounds like a machine. Would you suggest sealing the bottom of the motor where the cable entry is with either silicone or grease? I will avoid using it in bad weather as much as possible, but it probably won't be completely avoidable

Thanks for your advice, this clears up a lot for me. Sounds like they really are reliable. I am very impressed with how easy they are to fit, and how powerful they are, even the 250W seems powerful, the 1K must be an absolute monster. Thanks for the advice.

I kind of thought this was the case. I'm always pedaling fast, I don't have a cadence sensor yet, but it is one of my next purchases. I haven't installed the throttle either as I think it's unnecessary and heard it is pretty bad for the kit. The display shows a power reading in watts, I've noticed if I am not using my legs as much, or haven't dropped to a low enough gear, I see this number going above 250W, will constantly running it at 250W and above wear out the kit? Is this a good indicator of stress? Is it wise to give the bike a once over every couple hundred miles to check for loose screws/locknuts etc? I've read that the motor can need to be greased after a while, any ideas after how many miles this might be? I'm really happy with the kit overall and the range I'm getting. I did 40 miles my first night out (Food delivery courier) in an incredibly hilly city, and the battery (18.6mah) still had 50% left. Plus I was able to work the next night, which was the main reason for converting in the first place.

Sorry, it's the 250W BBS01B

In the title really

Ok, that's great news. I thought it was better because of the tooth pattern giving better grip, but if it's purely for the chain line then I have no worries. Thanks for the reply

My chain line is perfect with the 48t standard Bafang, but I want to upgrade it to possibly a bling ring to improve wear and tear. I have heard some bling rings will affect the chain line. Also, are there any specialist chains that will have less chance of snapping?

Has anyone made this conversion? I am worried the chain won't align properly and I might need to upgrade to the bling ring. I have the kit arriving on Monday. Thanks

What's the stepover height? I'm interested, but the height thing might be the kicker unfortunately

I am interested in the larger battery version. Does this run as a dual battery alongside the internal battery? And also, is this bike too large for me, it does say in the specs 5"6 minimum, but the frame is 20" and the saddle height 37" at the lowest setting. I can't see how anyone at 5"6 could fit on this bike
