I would recomend santa cruz although pricey the slightley older models are 68mm bb try find a heckler good luck

I had the bike and motor sitting around its fun to ride but im very cautious of ground clearance these setups are just to bulky for and heavy to maneuver

+1 very good bike with low weight set up very cool love to see more videos heres my latest build it will tie me over till I have enough $ saved up for an aft setup Its the latest GNG mid 450 ,better than the earlier GNG but still no comparison An aft

What if mr foos primary purpose of his ebike is to get away from the cops? :lol:

Poor mr foos is just wanting some simple to digest information about good kit sugestions I think hes been scared away/overwhelmed. :wink:

"My motor is beter than your motor" we should change the thread title "lol" :lol: Dear johnnyfoos i think the system you should buy depends on the type of riding you do.

I would recommend running a smaller front chain ring to keep controller temps down if you plan to do any sort of hill climbing.An astro would be insane would be cool if somebody came out with a complete astro kit to just bolt on including throddle controller amd all the jaZz.

"Time is money" with all the time you spend upgrading a cheaper system to be what it should be ,well desigined an engineered you would have already spent the difference your saving in your own time .How much $$ are you really worth an hour? Its false economy. A well engineered desigined kit is...

jules: The AFT system looks like the best solution to my next project I don't need to explain what I'm trying to achieve if you can't understand what I've written take from it what you will you seem confused. :? The GNG and BBS didnt do what I want and im looking for a kit that takes the best...

The ideal ebike for me is a light weight as possible down hill bike, with 8 inch or more of suspension travel with good brakes taking that extra weight ive added to it and cope with it making it a capable bike .For me a BBS and a GNG i couldn't do that and I needed more and more. I still have...

The problem with the GNG well were do I start there are many issues as outlined in the 130 + + pages of the GNG thread.The weight , phase wires ,crappy chains , bearings ,free wheel, cheap thin sheet metal, the bottom bracket, really everything but the motor and the motor is fantastic but really...

I own two systems bbs02 750w on a santa cruz heckler bike and a chain driven GNG 450w on a kona stinky bike. I prefer the bbso2 for flater terain and lower maintenance VS the GNG for extreme climbing ability and downhill action and I also love the low temperatures of the GNG.My next build will...

Bbso2 are bit a gutless but nice and smooth and are really a pedal assist type setup ,good if u still want a little exersise :wink:

If you can find a nice bike with a bb shell width of 68mm for your requirements I would suggest a 500w bbso2 with front chain ring reduction to 34t or similar would be perfect.

I own both GNG 450w chain version with L Rods mods kit on primary T8F chain and the Bafang 750w with my custom adaptor and a 36T front chain ring. Both are a fun to ride.The GNG has far less heat build up going up the same trails I take the bafang motor. However it is more noiser, heavier and...
