Yeah, I was a little uncertain what to call it ;-D usually we call these mid drives, but that's not really the case here.

So this basically fell into my lap. In the local bst facebook group someone sold this for 45€! It's in pretty bad shape. The tires are done for, all the cables need to be changed, both headsets are completely destroyed. The power train looks pretty good except for some chain rust. Haven't...

I have been using my bbs02 for about six months now, and started getting some strange cut outs, the motor just wouldn't run intermittently. No error messages, nothing wrong with the brake sensors. I bought mine from http://em3ev.com/ so I shot them an email describing my problem. They gave me a...

I forgot to say, I did have one issue. The bafang doesn't fit the babboe curve straight away. I had to take the angle grinder to a tab under the bottom braket. A little unnerving to do on a brand new 1700 euro bike, but what to do :D

Thanks for the input, but I already have 80km on my bafang :) I ordered the 750w motor programmed to 18A from em3ev, and a 12 Ah battery. I've gone 40km with lots to spare on the battery, and I have ordered some cheap lipos, 6Ah, to have as a spare in case I need to go further. Tapping the...

Good point about lipos and kids. I'll make it a big no no for them to use it alone. I am by no means a lipo noob, I have been flying RC for years, so a safe charging spot will be in place definately.

A friend of mine was talking about getting e-bikes for her and her children (9 and 11), after seeing my cargo bike with a 8fun mid drive. I saw that 3d robotics had a crazy deal on 4s 6000mAh lipos, and ordered 12 of them, https://store.3drobotics.com/products/4s6000-lipo-power I plan to make...

I found another cargobike (two wheel bakfiet style) mid drive conversion here on ES. He used a 500W version, and thought that was overkill, so I'm leaning towards getting a 500W 48V version, that should also ease the strain on the Nexus hub.

Thanks! I'm aware of the shifting issue. I'll try it as is, and if it's too much of a nuisance, I'll solder together a button to shut off the drive while changing gears. I'm both a an avid MTB'er and RC enthusiast, so I have no fear for either bike repair, soldering or lithium...

Hello I'm new to ebikes, and new to the forums, but I hope that you might be able to help me. I'm planning to buy a trike cargo bike, specifically a Babboe Big: http://www.babboe.co.uk/cargo-bikes/babboe-big.html They have the option to deliver with an electric motor, but I feel like 250W...
