    Titanium Fatbike - Bafang Ultra and Phaserunner

    Thanks you for your input. I'm inspired now - heh. Probably not as custom as yours, but I think I will definitely be going the Titanium route.

    Best Starter Frame for Bafand BBSHD

    Thank you. It's a compelling argument about less cost and complexity.

    Best Starter Frame for Bafand BBSHD

    Not sure how fast as I don't have much experience on ebikes. But why not have the option of faster? I weigh 195 lbs. In your opinion, would the higher end, lighter groupsets like Deore XT be more fragile on an ebike due to the materials?

    Best Starter Frame for Bafand BBSHD

    Thank you both for your input. The 2 main reasons I didn't decide on a full suspension is : 1. Much higher cost 2. I want to fit a large triangle battery, which is hard to finagle on a FS. 3. Added maintenance and complexity - I'm a noob in dealing with maintenance. 4. I have a Tubus rack I...

    Titanium Fatbike - Bafang Ultra and Phaserunner

    Daxxie - you are a beast! I was also considering a Titanium frame with my build, but was concerned about the durability due to the flex. Do you not see this as a concern?

    Best Starter Frame for Bafand BBSHD

    I am building my first ebike and am being overwhelmed by the number of choices. I prefer no full suspension because I want racks and fenders. My budget is $1,000-$1,500 (bike alone) and if warranted up to around 2K for the bike. I have been scouring Bikes Direct and Bike Island for a while now...

    EM3ev vs Luna Batteries and Kits

    EM3ev seems to have things on sale at cheaper prices than Luna. Is there a reason to buy Luna over EM3ev? It seems like you get more battery for the cost with EM3ev and the BBSHD is also cheaper. Am I missing something?

    I was just going to buy the bike and then use this guide below to order the right BBSSHD kit and spacers if need be. Or perhaps the Luna Mighty Mini. https://electricbike.com/forum/forum/knowledge-base/motors-and-kits/bbshd/10736-how-to-order-the-right-bbsxx-kit

    Anybody see any problems with this Starter Frame and Component List

    First - Thank you so much for the info. I'm basically a newb with no knowledge. I recently had my road and MTB bike stolen and then my kitten died in the same week - ughh. So this new Ebike was something to keep my mind off things a bit. I live in NYC and have been scouring EBay, Craigslist and...

    Anybody see any problems with this Starter Frame and Component List

    Hello, I'm building a new Ebike with a Bafang BBSSHD with Luna Wolf Pack and was going to get a Titanium MTB from Bikes Direct but realized they came with carbon forks. I decided against it because of that and the cost. So I decided on this Fantom 29'er bike instead - Aluminum with Shimano...
