Although I only have a throttle on my hub bikes it is how I operate it that makes the most sense for the way I ride. I am a long time cyclist and pedal 99% of the time but on the road I find the PAS systems don't always allow for me to regulate my input/cadence as I have grown used to over the years...

I have over 3 thousand miles on 1000w front hub motors and on flat ground maintaining speeds over 20 mph will require between 400-800w and you will be burning in the high teens wh/mi wise. If you have the complimentary pedal gear ratio to assist that is. Just riding a throttle will be more. Keep in ...

4 months!!!! Holy slow boat batman. Glad they made it finally.

Spend the $5. If you don't like it un plug it. I find mine infinitely useful for starting off and the odd blip to maintain momentum when pedaling is inconvenient.

Thanks for making the noise Rydon, I tried to create some myself but didn't get much feedback. The CAN Bus protocols allow for the use of an Ap based tuning system on the EU brands and it is a shame that Bafang isn't going this route also but instead going with proprietary diagnostic tools and login...

Not sure what the previous law was there, but the new one seems pretty standard. It also states: A person shall not tamper with or modify a low-speed electric bicycle so as to change the motor-powered speed capability or engagement of a low-speed electric bicycle, unless that person appropriately r...

I have used Schlumpf's since 2001 and had all three versions over that time span. I don't use the Mtn. Drive anymore but still have the Speed and High Speed drive in service both having many miles on them both as pedal only and on my eRoad bikes. They are built for the long haul for sure. I use fron...

Hooray for NJ not adopting the Class standards as being pushed by the BPSA via their lobbying arm PFB. Here are the relevant clauses: "Low-speed electric bicycle" means a two or three-wheeled vehicle with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of less than 750 watts, whose maximum speed on a pa...

I missed seeing that on there thanks for the link. I use a similar type but home made bracket that uses the steerer tube but positions the CA off to either side and below the height of the handlebars which I find completely keeps it out of harms way in the event you want to turn the bike upside dow...

I just dont get it how the China model works, would it kill them to have even one English speaking support person for all the drives they are hoping to sell in North America?.......wayne Actually they do. Joe Zhiang in Las Vegas. Right next door to Ebike Marketplace and Lectric Cycles. He is specif...

11. Stainless Steel Mounting Plate for Attaching CA to Bicycle Steer Tube I don't see it listed on their site? But if it is what I think it is you will like it. It is just a mounting bracket for the CA3. https://www.ebikes.ca/shop/electric-bicycle-parts/ca-accessories/ca-steerbracket.html I missed ...

This is the handlebar with everything on it.. Need to merge the wiring.. About the throttle its works fine but dont you expect an uncontrolled power.. Its works acoording to you assist level. Next step Is mod the engine.. Can someone in the crowd have the knowledge.. How to? Is the BBSHD chip works...

Nicely done Vivid guy. Looks like you are up to the task! Frame up builds usually take extra time but are worth it in the end. Looking forward to your updates and ride reports. There is a throttle on the left side of the bars Wayne but I am sure VG can say if it works or not. Did you ever hear back ...

Looks like the price is right and my experience with a similar DD motor would say it is entirely possible to do as you suggest, especially if you are willing to assist pedaling and use low enough gearing so that you are in sync with the motor. At worst you may find the controller to be insufficient ...

So there you have it, a little tangent to the weekend is always fun. Original thought was 0.5Nm, now about 1Nm for Direct Drive, but you can give it just a hair on the throttle and overcome that drag, and that regen is good for not only braking and saving your pads, but also 1Wh/km back into the pa...

I personally would go with the Bafang G310 as I know it is the preferred motor at Grin these days. A bit more power which you may or may not use but good to have aboard. I am curious about this line item: 11. Stainless Steel Mounting Plate for Attaching CA to Bicycle Steer Tube I don't see it listed...

Get a BBSHD and a 52v Jumbo Shark pack, which should fit just fine mounted to the water cage mounts on your down tube. I would go with the throttle option as it will aid in getting started from a stop mostly. You are going to need a new front wheel anyway so make sure it is disc compatible so you ca...

I agree Wayne that sorting out the M600, which I think we both see the potential of as well as others, is the main goal. It is funny that Bafang doesn't seem interested in supporting it, but they really haven't been all that supportive of some of their other drives. I have saved this article for ove...

The way I read it was that it ships with the throttle restricted to 20mph and PAS @28mph. That would work fine for me as I only use throttle in low speed situations but don't want to run up against any shut off with the PAS at 20mph like a typical Class 1 does. May be a few weeks before I pull the t...

I have been looking for an M600 equipped bike for awhile and gone to some lengths overseas that in the future will be beneficial if in fact the system works as well as it looks like it will. It is funny that this bike never showed up on my radar but I might just get one in order to test the system a...

That is hilarious and ingenious at the same time. :bigthumb: I used to ride the snow mo trails in CB, CO years ago with 2.2's @ 15psi front and rear for miles. Wasn't always the right conditions but when it was, it was on! The biler's would laugh when they saw me out in the backcountry. I used my sk...

Look for the Bafang G311. 100mm spacing and disc brake. Geared and quiet.

Nice Parrilla Casainho!

Hyvää Piävää, I use front hub motors for my drop bar/cross type bikes although they are more like 1000w systems using 52v batteries. I also use a TSDZ2 system on my MTB. For road use I prefer a front hub drive so that is what I would suggest based on my experience. IMG_1684.jpg IMG_1685.JPG The syst...

Hi, I cannot use the motors torque arm to hold the motor in position , so maybe I can drill holes into the gear housing and fix the motor to frames chainguide mount (ISCG-05). I've got a full suspension frame , that's my only option. Cheers ! No need to even do that. Just let the motor housing rest...
