Yes it seems like it. It no longer shuts the battery off if it gets past LVC. Also it overcharged when previously it woukd not. I had the pack open and was testing voltage. Tried "jumping" it by charging through discharge port, no change. Then I tried disconnecting the sense plug to reset it...

I have a 52V shark pack which I killed the BMS on. I was swapping connectors and adding headlight and made a bome head mistake if reversing polarity. Now my pack will not shut off if a bank is overcharged or if I get below LVC. So I am assuming the BMS is toast. No obvious physical signs of...

I just replaced the anderson connections on my 52V battery with XT-90S connectors. Everytime I connect them I am hearing a loud pop like a spark is occuring. Obviously I cant actually see it the way they are designed. Is this sound normal? I am thinking I may have overheated the connector when...

I am 6'8" 225 lbs, I love my 29er. Its a Trek X-Caliber hardtail, the biggest frame size it comes in. I dont mind taking it on rough ground, but if its bad I end up standing for most of it. Longing for a suspension seat post....

BBSHD with an eggrider display. Pretty slick. I plan on keeping my old display mounted. If I get pulled over just change to legal mode, grab my cellphone and switch display connections. Best i've come up with so far. I feel like 500W woukd be dissapointing...but im used to the BBSHD.

I asked my local bike mechanic about the micro teeth on the smallest cog used to "lock" the lockring. He said it was ok not to have them, so long as it was torqued down. Going to do this in the next day or two, see what happens!

No that would be ideal. Trying to find one locally but its a bit of a longshot. I am hoping thats it, charges to exactly 80% consistently.

My 52V 13.5ah shark battery cant seem to get charged past 80%. Stops charging at 55.7 everytime. I have the Luna mini advanced charger. It was a switch to select 80-90-100% charged. Doesnt seem to make a difference which percentage setting I have it on. Maybe its just the switch? I have been...

I have a Trek X-Caliber with the largest frame they make for it. (23" or 25") can't remember which size. Got it for a smoking deal since it didn't fit most people.

Hi there, I upped my budget a bit and went with the BBSHD with a 52V 13.5ah battery. Unfortunately the battery has yet to arrive. Very frustrating but it is mostly puralators fault. Would have been nice to know it was going to take over 2 months to get it but what can you do. I will post up a...

If theres one thing ive learned from my old man it's that pinching pennies initially often costs you more in the long run. Thats what im trying to avoid with this build. Having said that I can see all the pending upgrades down the road....new suspension fork, suspension seat post, chainring...

Hi guys, looks like I will be getting a BBSHD and 52v 13.5ah GA pack. Lucked out and found a set in Canada that had been returned to Luna. With our exchange and then the UPS fees and tax the cost of ordering from the US is just crazy. I will still have to order some bits for the install from...

Thanks for all the advice guys, wesnell that build of yours looks very affordable. I am not very concerned about the BBSHD being illegal here, i'll just keep my speeds around 32km/hr. Wesnell your build looks very affordable. I looked into the rc lipo batteries, got scared off by the potential...

Sorry im in Canada so 2000$ cad by the time you factor in shipping and exchange. With the extra bits I would need in the kit. What i'd really like to find is a used BBSHD, maybe use the cheapest "mighty mini" off Lunacycles.

Hi everyone, I am a long time lurker, have been wanting to get an e-bike for 3 years now. I just can't bite the bullet, everything is so expensive! I am a big guy 6'8" 225 lbs, so no stock bike will really fit me. I have my own hardtail MTB that fits me well and would be good for a conversion...
