Re: BBS02 Cake -- FS mid-drive build, v2
Hello, Depending on the weight and wind resistance (mostly), combined with rolling resistance (minimal in most cases) the BBS02 750 can be geared for up to 30-35 mph but even geared for 35 mph using 48v @ 25a you will only see 88% of that (efficiency) which would be roughly max road speed of 30.8.

Re: LightningRods mid drive kit
Hey guys, Is there a way to archive an entire thread with all pages in a single page on this php forum? I ask because as threads reach 50-100 pages they become very difficult to do a thread search or archive the thread for propesperity and to make sure its information is always available. This is up...

Re: new barfang kit Lcd dead.
I have low cost USB->TTL adapters which work great with ControllerST software used to udpate the settings on the bafang controller (and most other with proper adapter you can make all yourself.

Re: new barfang kit Lcd dead.
If the bafang was unplugged from power the caps may have held enough charge that the differental in voltage prevented the spark (rapid equalization of voltage). Sadly I have not yet figured out the CA plug wiring, someone may have. Worst case scenario, I should have a C961 LCD and one other which is...

Re: Best RC motor for lightweight utility bike build
Not sure if your looking for an Astro 3210 or 3220 but I have both and a Black Recumpence MS-eDrive complete setup. I even have an HV 120 ICE for the setup - The reduction of the v4 is 4:1 but the slipper clutch makes all the different. Geared properly (say 37mph theoretical top speed) you should ac...

Re: Astro 3205 motor on Cyclone planetary gear
Okay so to the crank (chainring) you have sufficient reduction for 12S 7500 RPM down to 75 RPM (theoretical) RPM... which wind is your 3205? What kV? On that note, it should work well enough but... I caution you not to push too much power into the cyclone gearbox... maybe 1.5X and perhaps 2.0 but I'...

Re: Astro 3205 motor on Cyclone planetary gear
My concern is cyclone motors run about 3K RPM and for the 32XX series Astro motors they need to maintain about 7500 for 90-94% efficiency The cyclone gear reduction is just enough as it is, going higher RPM is not a good idea as your cadence will be a lot higher. Also the cyclone motor is efficient...

Re: Bafang BBS-0X to Ed Lyen controller Wiring
I wouldn't push the Bafang past 55.5 or 61.2v maximum input voltage without cutting the current back signifiigantly. Even still the gearing may not appreciate the speed you want to run it at. Just food for thought, be careful. PS: You don't need to remove any of the stock controller, just clip and s...

Re: Prices on Bafang 8Fun all over map!
While you have a point, it's only because there aren't many us vendors with sufficient mechanical engineering to sell you kit, pack and proper chainring and freewheel or cassette to set you up. None of the Chinese vendors can do this and ice dealt with my fair share of our right dishonest China vend...

Re: Prices on Bafang 8Fun all over map!
Lowest single unit sample price in China is actually about 440.00 FOB - which means you pay shipping, if by sea it's a few weeks (ie: 1-2 months) before you receive it.. a single unit price will also be charged, about 100.00 more than the same price if you take 50-100 units or a few pallets to a con...
