hi guys, i have a bmx bike that i don.t ride anymore and found on aliexpress all the things i need for converting it to an ebike (48v14a battery). My question is... does any of you did this to a bmx bike ?(20 inch wheels) and if so, how it is ? I.m afraid a bmx bike is too small for that
I was looking for a road/gravel bike steel frame to convert that had disc brakes and came across this bike:
Motobecane Fantom Cross Uno ($399)
I was wondering if the fork ends that it has would be safe for a rear hub motor (up to how much watt?), worrying that it might be too much for the fork end and that the wheel might fall out when braking or during use.
Any thoughts?
— though maybe a mid drive is the way to go.
So I have a Poseidon redwood gravel bike and have been looking into converting it into an e-bike. I’ve been a cyclist for years but have never looked into doing something like this myself. Feeling a bit overwhelmed and was wondering if you all could point me in the direction of some good tutorials or videos on how to do this. Thank you
As per title, I'm wondering if my bike is a good fit for conversion or if I'm better off selling it for an ebike. I know it has a steel frame but I don't know enough about the other parts
Usage info: I live in a fairly hilly area, and my roommate would be using it for commuting and for doordash, so I would need it to be reasonably reliable.
I bought an Ouxi GT2000 ebike and I got a little bit frustrated because it doesn't have a kill switch. I asked my friend to test a screen that has a kill switch and it worked. So I need to buy a screen that supports kill switch. But if I am going to buy a new screen then I also want it to be a kind of upgrade.
Maybe personal but I don't like big screens in the middle and big screens in general so I looked at some talaria style screens but I didn't find any that have a legal kill switch function. (DZ40 Mini, SW102, SW102T, DM03) What is also important for me that the screen should be Tft or oled not lcd, because lcd screens kind of look like calculators.
Does anyone know some screens in that style that support this function.
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 :)
I have a 15AH Hailong battery. About 8.5#. I'm worried that it's too heavy for the water bottle bosses. Should I be concerned? How can I reinforce the mount? Thanks.
I’m including pictures, hopefully for clarity. I’m installing a Bbs02 mid drive on a recumbent (my second such build). I bought the kit used and when I turned the system on with the original battery, the display would activate, but immediately go blank. I happened to have a spare 48v 12ah battery, so mounted it, fully charged. Now the display doesn’t turn on at all. I double checked the battery at its cable and at the butt connectors and both showed 52volts. What would be the next thing to check?
I want to convert my bike into electric but I don't know any sites that I could trust
I am looking for a 1000w minimum rear hub motor kit with a battery (it can be on the other site) for a budget of 1000€

I’ve got and fitted a mid drive kit to a Carerra 16” frame. It’s not working out and looking for advice.
The drive motor fouls the chain stay so requires spacers to resolve this. This pushes the front sprocket further out which creates a bad chain alignment- making it impossible to go into 1st gear without the chain slipping off. I don’t think there is a way to improve this… unless anyone has any ideas.
I was originally looking at the befang - but got lured towards to Varstrom because of the cadence assistance.
The chain stays have quite a flare on them- which I don’t think helps. If the motor did fit without the spacers, it would be an improvement, but the chain angle would still be poor.
Am I missing something?
As the title says, I'm seeking a good triangle frame battery with the listed specs but havent found any that seem to be reputable (any reviews). I am considering this battery as it would be a little more than needed for my intended use which I am not opposed to, but I dont fully trust battery packs mounted to frame bottle cage mounts.

I have a decathlon Riverside with a good battery ( trend power i think) 36v battery and im wanting to convert it to a KT controller and display with a hill assist push button or thumb button due to bad knees.
the only problem that i have is how to get the KT controller to wake the battery up.
is there a way to identify the terminal that takes the wake up signal and use the KT controller to send that signal, or can the BMS be changed for a more compatible BMS.
