Re: Another BBSHD Off Road Build
You'll know if it starts dropping the chain. Off hand I'd say you might have some trouble, it looks like you could use a few more mm of offset. The HD is pretty powerful and unless you have a lot of hills near you you won't need the lower gears. If you do you might want to consider getting a chain g...

Re: How do you size the right Mid Drive?
Dude, that's a sick build. If you've got a good chain line you're golden. When you do the mod and start pulling 45A you'll get the full potential out of this drive you'll realize it isn't bad for the price. Good bones on that one.

Re: Best place to buy a BBHSD
Maybe but theres still all that bs on the outside that uglies up a build . ^this I ride a lot of trails and I just don't want more things to get hooked on branches and banged up. That's in addition to the aesthetics. The stock controller is good up to 45A and 52V, which pushes my fat butt 30 mph an...

Re: Best place to buy a BBHSD
All bafang mid drive internal controllers are known to fail. Too much heat being next to the motor. I'm not convinced it's heat, not with the way they seal the controller. You won't find a thin silicone gasket held on by crazy glue on a car or motorcycle. Controllers should work with heat, they don...

Re: Best place to buy a BBHSD
So I started installing the kit today. Bafang is still up to their old tricks. The silicone gasket between the controller and case is STILL glued to the case side with what appears to be a cyanoacrylate (ie. Crazy glue) This isn't even a design flaw, this is bad engineering. You don't use a hard set...

Re: Mid Drive Off Road Only BBSHD or TSDZ2
Looks like a good purchase, you will have to be careful with the packaging and items inside, wear gloves and a mask when unpacking the items.

Re: BBSHD - Not using set speed limits
Alright I think I figured it out. I was testing the speed limit with the back wheel off the ground spinning freely, instead of actually riding it. I guess without some resistance the motor controller isn't able to keep up with the momentum of the free-spinning wheel. I tested my electric scooter th...

Re: Best place to buy a BBHSD
I have the controller off . I never saw any screws other than the three hex screws around the perimeter . I'm waiting on my new controller so I'm dead in the water now . Those just hold the housing to the motor case. You can kind of see the screws holding the controller in at 3 and 9 o'clock, but t...

Re: BBSHD - Not using set speed limits
Throttle and PAS are different modes, with throttle given priority to override PAS.
I think you can tweak your PAS 0 settings to get what you want. If you set limit current% to 1 and then speed limit% to whatever the math works out to you can have a mode that gives you your throttled cruise control.

Re: Best place to buy a BBHSD
****** 2screws ******
I edited my previous post to reflect this. There's actually 2 phillips head bolts with square washers that hold the controller to the housing. One by the wires and one opposite to it.
Sometimes the potting covers them, sometimes it doesn't.

Re: Best place to buy a BBHSD
Okay , I'll give that a go , thanks . I assume 1/16 or so for the gasket or same as a water thermostat on a car ? I'll yank my cruiser bikes controller out and do that one too . I'm pretty sure it's 1/16 that I used. Fel-Pro rubberized cork. It's a poor design. The housing is thin and so is the gas...

Re: Best place to buy a BBHSD
It came with a rubber gasket . Silicone. It's garbage. Pop the electronics out of the dead one. There's 2 screws in the corner and by the wires you have to take out. Pull up on the wires and wiggle the controller out. Then you can trace the housing on gasket paper. I prefer cork. A leather punch he...

Re: Best place to buy a BBHSD
I'm surprised, I never had an issue with the controller once I started putting a proper gasket on it.
Did you use cork or just regular gasket paper?

It's not a fair comparison. BBSHD is a throttle monster and the TSDZ2 is a PAS poon hound.

Re: Which BMS is better?
Interesting that the first link provides a gps tracking device for your ebike(though you have to buy it separately). I only used smart bms with Xiaoxiang app and they work pretty well. Don't forget to buy a Bluetooth module as the first link does not provide one(based on the description). BBS02 doe...

Yes I just now pulled the trigger at Luna . The problem with them is shipping is pretty slow . I dont think anyone will sell it w/o a controller but you may get lucky .

Thx I'll look it up? Did you have to apply any additional grease or have to waterproof anything? I was gonna use a little dialelectric grease on the connectors and some heat shrink.

Re: How do you size the right Mid Drive?
So I went with the BBSHD and 52v 17.5 ah triangle pack. I was torn between the BBSHD and Tenshong. I started looking at the TenShong because I really like the idea of torque sensing and pedal assist. More natural feel more of a real assist. Keeps the bike lighter and more nimble but also let's it f...

Re: BBSHD: I'm skeptical
Agree with last couple posts. I wouldn't push a BBSHD in a conventional bike over 30MPH for any length of time and expect rock solid reliability. Well Im here to tell you your wrong,a bbshd with the nylon gear replaced with Lunas steel one,ERT BAC855 controller,and 72 volt pack...the bbshd sees 300...

Re: Best place to buy a BBHSD
If you are in Arizona Luna is just as good as any. Covid has increased shipping costs from China so there's no price advantage. I think they have 100mm BB in stock for $639 right now.
I'm looking for a motor only, no controller bare bones unit but nobody will sell me one without a controller.
