My understanding what that if I had my mode set to 0, I would be able to pedal my bike like normal. But I tried it out yesterday and experienced a shit ton of resistance while being on the biggest gear. Am I wrong for thinking I could pedal my bike normally without assistance?
Has anyone seen any retrofit options for fitting something like a BBSHD (designed for standard BSA BB) to an ebike-specific frame? Obviously the mounts would not be directly compatible but I was thinking along the lines of an adaptor bracket of some sort.
So I took it out for a test drive an hour ago just to make sure installation was good and everything worked. I slide the battery onto my downtube battery plate, turned the battery on, but did not turn on the screen.
Why? Well I wanted to see what difference the weight of the battery and motor made on the overall feel of the bike. Imho, I think I barely noticed a difference. I mean I'm sure it's there but without getting super granular, I don't feel a major difference in how pedaling my bike feels.
It felt responsive and quick - torque-y. So far, I think it's awesome and im already thinking about many ridess I want to go on. I do have a question though- how many batteries/or how many ah's do you guys typically carry and how far do you go? I have a 48v20ah and wondering if it will be enough, but then I think if I were to get another battery than my bike may end up being and heavy as a typical ebike lol.....
Any unrelated recommendations/advice for a first time mid driver rider is welcome as well. FYI I do have the brake, shift and speed sensors installed.
Things that weren’t replaced but could be are throttle, shift sensor, and the brake levers with the sensors built in. I noticed the shift sensor flashing a red light while the bike is turned on but at rest. What really sucks is that this issue was how the whole project started. The worn out 15 year old motor was working for about 30 minutes after I initially turned it on but then started cutting in and out. I had hoped that by swapping in the new motor, that it needed anyway, that it would fire up and work, but whatever is causing the issue is still present. Any help would be so appreciated. Thank you.
Good morning fellow Bafang riders!
I was wondering if a kit like this would be compatible and an easy install on my bafang bbs02b. I have to double check my connectors but I was throwing this out here to see if anyone has purchased this before or something similar and installed it on their bike. Thanks everyone!
For those of you that has or currently have experimented with single speed conversions, please share your thoughts with me. I'm looking for ideal (and safe) setting for my son. Chainring 42T. What's a good teeth count for him?
Background story, my 13 yr old and his friends got busted riding their surrons on streets and got a hefty fine for Mom and dad. Mom locked his surron down to be used for track days only.
I bought a bafang mtb for him so he can ride without being bothered by cops much, but I want to make the operation and feel to be like a electric dirt bike.
No hill climbing. Mostly flat terrain like parking lots. Lot of wheelies and now he can hit bmx pump tracks.
Thanks.
Bought a kit from that one online store. Replaced an old motor with the new motor and I have this screw, with a bit of loctite on the threads, left over. Where was it supposed to go? I’m a tiny bit worried it’s very important.
Title says it all. I just built a bbs02b MTB and I friggin love it. Wow.
I liked to look down on e-bikes as "cheating", and I suppose it is compared to regular pedaling, but damn my commuter bike will be so much fun.
I just accept that if I'm cheating, I may as well do it with style.. lol
Theres a screw behind the gear I need to access to open the other side but I have no idea what tool would be fit. Any help is appreciated.
I have a Marin Bobcat Trial 5 and this middrive motor I'm transferring over is resting on the chainstay. Since it's not all the way through, I can't install the locking ring nor the brackets.
Any solutions?
I have the problem where my BBSHD only gives me 25W on road mode when i’m soppused to have around 250W
Speed limit road: 25kph
Limited current: 28A
Assist level 9: 17% current limit and 100% speed limit
Still it only gives med 25W when im riding and reading live data from eggriderv2 display / eggrider app
Anyone else had this problem? How to solve this? The math is right
Hey everyone, this is my first post in this group and my first time installing a mid drive motor. Most everything came out good and as expected. However, when it came to installing the motor, it came out kind of slanted. It appears my bottom downtube (if that's what its called) protrudes a little preventing the motor from rotating all the way until the logo is straight. Photos for reference. I am converting the Ozark Explorer, straight bar variant.
Will this be an issue? Also, how is my clearance? It looks kinda low. Thank you guys for all your advice!
BBSHD only gives pedal assist starting at 10kph? Is this normal and considered a 'safety feature'?
I tried tweaking the start angle of the cranks, tried 10 degrees, 70 degrees, 180... It's all the same, PAS only will start kicking in at/after 10kph in every power mode. Throttle works from a stop
My brother in law rode this thing hard up a mountain, then dunked it in a cold puddle when he noticed the motor housing was "super hot". Now this is happening. Do I just need a new controller? Thanks a million for any help.
Highlighted in red in the first picture. It just seems like the chain is going to have to bend at a severe angle unless I’m on the highest gear
Converted an REI Co-Op bike this summer with a Tongsheng TSDZ16 kit. I was inspired to build it with hidden battery inside an REI trunk bag.
/r/ebikes hated this and told me I was fucking stupid and gonna catch myself on fire and die in an explosion 😂
It’s been hot as hell in the MidWest this summer and i have taken this on a multiple 20+ mile rides and this battery hasn’t even been hot to the touch.
What conditions do I actually need so watch out for?
What is the feasibility/cost of converting cadence sensing Bafang BBSHD 750 W mid-drive motor. Model MM G320.750.C. to torque sensing on Jones LWB/HDe v2.
I bought recently a Fatboy V3 fat e-bike in EU, and I saw that they a software locked to 25km/h. I saw many options for unlock it on the net but it seems to be a special version firmware, we can’t put any « code » to unlock it, and it’s impossible to change the speed setting. So, it could be nice like that, but the simple idea to use a locked electronic device is hurting my jailbreak life !
I was thinking to many options, but nothing 100% sure.
1 - Change the firmware of the DPC010 but I don’t know if it’s would work or simply brick the system ?
2 - Find a app like Speeed App but it’s doesn’t seem to work with this type of motor ? Does somebody have tried something like this ?
3 - Try an hardware option like change the speed indication received by the controller. This seems to be the best reliable option but I don’t really know how it works : maybe do you know if the speed locking is done in the controller or somewhere else ? Where is the speed reader on the bike ?
4 - Any option you could have ?
I’m not so in the rush, 25 is fine for me now, but it’s could be very nice to succeed to unlock it :)
Thanks you so much for your help :)
Anyone know what’s happened here and if it’s possible to fix?
