There are a lot of people out there that don't know how to build. I showed this guy the cost of materials and time I spent building this. Then I showed most online models including radpower. Considering the size of the battery, mid-drive, and a 2 week old build, he concluded that it would be...

Thanks for the input everyone. I sold it for $1900 yesterday.

Attached pictures. I cleaned up the wiring a bit since I took this picture. Thanks.

I recently built a BBS02 750W with a 52V 17.5Ah Panasonic GA on a hardtail. Spent about $1700 including the bike. I guess I rushed through my decision making did not fully think through about personal life before building this. So, how much should I expect if I plan to sell this? Any thoughts? I...

Golden chain sounds like fun. Thanks for the info. I have all the basic bike tools. Just that I am a bit lazy :)

There is a bike that is being sold on craigslist that I am interested in converting to a BBS02. It has a 38T chainring. Can I just use the stock that comes with the bike? Just ignoring the chainring that comes with the kit? I don't want to deal with chain length adjustments if I increase the...

Perfect. Thanks.

I test drove a hub motor and felt the same way. I guess I got my answer :) One last question. When you order from LunaCycle did you get everything you need from them or did you have more stuff like all the necessary connectors etc.?

I almost ordered the BBS02 with a 48V 17.5ah killer whale. But then started reading about the Golden Pie V5 rear hub. Now I am confused. I am still leaning toward the BBS02.

em3v website is a nightmare. They don't seem like they have a kit for noobs like me. It looks like I have to pick each and every component and the descriptions are sparse. Could you tell which ones I should get? Also, they don't seem to have 48V battery at all.

Looks like a very nice build. Where did you order the components from? I am about to pull the trigger from LunaCycle but hearing mixed opinions these days. I looked into Em3ev but their website is crap. I have to pick each and every part separately. Is there a list that I can refer to? Thanks.

Desired max speed: 30 MPH under hard pedaling Desired range: 40 mi @ 20 MPH Donor bike: Hard Tail DiamondBack Desired bike weight after conversion < 45 lbs Desired brake type: Mechanical Disc Rider weight: 185 lbs Terrain: Flat. Just couple of tiny hills about 3% grade. Not much. I have the...
