    100mm BBS02 for fat bikes due at end of August

    There is a new motor coming soon, we're still working out the kinks but they will be in production in the not too distant future. Lectric Cycles will have operational drive units at Interbike (we already have them) along with a bunch of killer builds that use the existing e-RAD products we have...

    Gear Sensor for Bafang BBS02 Mid Drive *+ other mid-drives?*

    The firmware is different, no screen shot will help you as the software you are familiar with (controllerST) does not give you any insight into the actual firmware itself. As for the dedicated port from the e-RAD controllers for the gear sensor, it is programmed differently than the brake...

    Bafang BBSHD, 1000W, 68mm-120mm BB

    The gear sensor connects to a separate cable coming from the motor which was necessary to get the the system to operate seamlessly. There were no combination of parameter adjustments to the e-brake lines to get them to work as well as we believed it should. The gear sensor adds the refinement...

    Frame mount battery packs: Lectric Cycles vs. Cell Man

    Well I guess its better to hear it from the horses mouth, so here it goes. Lectric Cycles is located in Tempe, AZ so we are a US based business and have a warehouse and office space/showroom you can come visit. We have formally been in business since Sep 2012. We have our batteries assembled...

    New Bafang Crank-Drives

    Our versions already have a throttle-only mode in PAS "0" with the throttle providing full power and overriding the current PAS setting. We have custom firmware and adjust the controller software settings as well. We've sold them this way for more than 8 months with 750w and 350w in stock in...

    New Bafang Crank-Drives

    Just to give an update on the BBS-01 and BBS-02. I've secured the software to re-program the controllers and will be detailing a few different customization options that I will be offering to my customers soon. This includes things like adjusting the number of and percentage of current...

    New Bafang Crank-Drives

    For those wondering about the noise level on this motor, below is a short video where you can hear (or rather not hear) how quiet the motor is. Any tire noise, especially off-road completely drowns out the little noise it makes. jqsMRjOev3k

    New Bafang Crank-Drives

    73mm isn't a problem, just need the 5mm longer bolts and spacers on the non drive side and use one locking (the fatter one) instead of two. I have a Fat bike running this width right now as well as an old Full Suspension Titus that's had a 350w motor for almost 6 months with a 73mm bottom...

    New Bafang Crank-Drives

    The C963 has real time power info (in watts) but also only displays in km/h and has a small but high quality screen. The C961 has the 6 hex bolts securing it and the controls onto the handlebar. Unless someone wants to remove all 6 bolts and steal a display with a proprietary plug that will...

    New Bafang Crank-Drives

    These work much better than a hub motor in the sand due to the mechanical advantage you have using lower gearing. In deep sand and when first getting going this is very important. Here's a short video of riding through some sand. HGMEC2RigaM

    Requesting Guidance for Road Bike

    Here is my build. 350w Mid drive with 5ah battery (now using 11ah downtube mounted battery). With PAS engaged, its easy to cruise around at 25mph. Motor and associated kit add about 8-9lbs to the bike after removing bottom bracket, cranks and front derailleur. Very efficient and stealth...

    New Bafang Crank-Drives

    I haven't tried one on a 10 speed but on a 9 speed I would highly recommend using some sort of a chainguide. Especially under load the chain seems to come off the chainring easily when downshifting into the smallest two gears. I'm guessing a 10 speed would be similar.

    New Bafang Crank-Drives

    Something like that could be fabricated but you wouldn't be able to get a chainline even close to what is normal on a mountain bike. The issue is the final gear reduction unit that is enclosed behind the chainring mount. If you hold up a chainring to it you will see that anything less than a...

    New Bafang Crank-Drives

    The 750 motor is very hard on chains and conventional drivetrain components. I have snapped multiple chains already with the 750 and in order to make it truly useful when using a cassette, you need to use throttle only and apply it once you are firmly in gear. Shifting under load with the 750...

    The person that commented about the 48v 750w not being impressive did not ride a production unit. With the speed limiter disabled it easily does 30mph (even on a fat bike). The 36v 350w ones that I had Bafang produce have different LCD, brake levers, a higher continuous current than standard...

    When in PAS mode the motor will activate when you start pedaling. The throttle is always active so with PAS on or off, pedaling or not, when you use the throttle it gives maximum power.

    It is nothing like a cyclone when it comes to noise. In fact, it is equal to or quieter in my opinion than most geared hub motors.

    New Bafang Crank-Drives

    It does use a non standard chainring, but the reason that mid drives in general can't use a standard crankset is that the chainring needs to freewheel separately from the crank arms. This allows the motor to drive the chainring without the rider having to pedal.

    New Bafang Crank-Drives

    These only have a single chainring so no need for a derailleur. You can't really use your own crankset because the chainring attaches to the motor unit and not the crank arm as on a traditional crankset.

    New Bafang Crank-Drives

    The battery on the bike is designed to be used with this system but can be used with a hub drive as well. Its designed for a 25A load but can output more current briefly. The weight of the 48v 11.6ah model is 7.1 lbs (7.7lbs with the mount). I have a very limited number of batteries as these...
