    Build of Bafang BBS02 from Greenbikekit

    I picked up a cheap Sony Action Cam to make overly long and boring videos such as the one linked below: Ha19xA0T6DI I'll be using that strapped to my head when I record my first test. If I laugh uncontrollably from a positive experience or curse due to complications of the install, an...

    I tend to load up my bikes with panniers and misc. stuff anyway and end up carrying about 20lbs of tools, junk, snacks and water anyway. Since I really never rode the Walgoose before slapping on the Bafang, I can't confess to know a difference - yet. Putting that 16s Headway pack on the back...

    Good info. I'm encouraged with the range you are comfortably obtaining. I hope to have the bike running this weekend with some video to show for the efforts. Fingers crossed.

    My initial fears have been abated and I'm finding that easy pedaling to be the case. Very easy to pedal and yep, I've been riding the bike without battery power to test the parts I've been swapping on the bike.

    Great install info and thanks for the update on the project. I'm really interested on those economical packs. What equipment are you using for charging and balancing the packs? How much does that add to the cost? I've purchased a headway cell pack. It's too pretty to keep in a case and for...

    Heat shutdown? Were you in an easy gear for the motor to go up the long hill? I'll assume your battery pack's cells are balanced. Speaking of which, how much difference between individual cells is considered out of balance? It does seem odd that the charger is showing a full capacity...

    I like your install and on that bike, it looks great! Thanks for the tip! I'm plan on testing the motor this comming weekend and I'll keep my hands on the brakes when manouvering in tight quarters to avoid shooting off into diches, ravines or walls! :D

    And here I was regretting I had a 46t ring up front! Ha ha... I have an 11 tooth gear in the back for top pedaling matching at speed but I'm certain that I will lament not having a 34t in the back to shift down to as a low gear for the occasional pedestrian ramp and hilly terrain. I think I...

    Yes, hardly noticeable and easy to pedal.

    Which bike should I UPGRADE for conversion?

    Phew! Thankfully no one noticed that I placed the lock rings incorrectly on the bottom bracket. ;)

    I hope my experience will be the same after I get past a few quirky installation issues which are due to my choice of frame and not the BBS-02. The issues can be surmounted with some use of oddly placed washers. :D As far as the viability of the Bafang motors, I ran across this interesting...

    Something will always be newer and better just around the corner. I thought too about waiting until the new units were released but said to myself "Why wait?" The time to get my feet wet is now. One can always consider a future purchase as batteries, controllers and motor tech improve...

    Which bike should I UPGRADE for conversion?

    So far so good! Project Album My next steps are cleaning up the wires, changing the brake levers, pulling the gear shifter wire from the new sram twist grip and installing the display unit. Than another non-powered test ride to fine tune the brakes and adjust gear shifter. Then the Battery...

    After installation on the XR-Pro Mongoose, I found the pedaling resistance with no power to the unit to be manageable. For my short test ride, I found that it was not very noticeable and would only be a factor for shaving time off a long ride. I'm no longer worried I would be SOL should the...

    Perhaps this will be the case however I was just noticing this from an uninstalled BBS-02. I guess I expected the pedal crank shaft/bolts to turn more easily in their bearings. Thanks for your response.

    Both awesome projects. I'll be starting a build this weekend with the hopes of getting all the mechanicals installed perhaps excepting the battery. I do however have one question for you. Is there significant resistance in turning the crank when the unit is not powered? I'm curious as to...

    Beautiful bikes! The black motor looks great contrasted against that red bike. I hope my project fares equally well.

    Which bike should I UPGRADE for conversion?

    I understand there are also possible issues with the chain line. In the end, I'm sticking the motor on a bike with a 68mm BB. I'll see how it turns out this weekend on a WalGoose.

    New Bafang Crank-Drives

    I have an unusual question for you BBS-0X experts: How tight should the crank be? Is there supposed to be a significant resistance or should it spin easily in the bottom bracket shaft? When you are pedaling with no power, are you spinning the gears and motor within the housing even if you are...

    I'll measure mine after install and report back. Thanks to tomjasz, we have a page from the technical drawings to use!
