    E-bike + carbon frame + 52V. 18650 + BMC motor

    Luis doesn't use zip ties..... 8) I vote for under the downtube, but maybe in a small ventilated enclosure that smooths out the lines a little and helps hide some of the wiring. The bike is looking great Luis :bigthumb:

    Good morning Luis, love the steel and the welders, very tidy. Hope things are good over there, too much wildfire smoke over here.

    Electra Cruiser 1 Tall BBS02

    Thanks man. I thought about putting a SA 3 spd in the back, but the BBS02 doesn't need it even with the 40T.

    Dyno Moto 7 CL find

    Since last post, the Dyno has received a 13 aH 48V battery from California Ebike and is still an everyday rider. The Schwalbe Fat Franks are getting thin and I'm thinking of going to Big Ben's in 2.15" next.

    Electra Cruiser 1 Tall BBS02

    For a long time I'd been wanting to build a cruiser. I'd been riding my GT Palomar everyday and that thing is a blast, but wanted something more laid back. Eventually a nearby CL post for a dusty neglected C1 led me to this. A $120 Cruiser 1 with blinky wheel lights, a bent pedal, dry rotted...

    Your Creation's Before & After Pics

    It's rock solid. I learned how to properly install riv-nuts and put 3 into the downtube.

    Your Creation's Before & After Pics

    Before: After: BBS02 from Luna at 1.3 kw, 14S 17aH battery and EggRider display from California Ebike, Schwalbe Super Moto-X 26" x 2.4" tires, Lekkie 40T ring and 170mm Buzz Bars. It rides sooooooo nice.

    Vintage GT Palomar BBS02 BMX Klunker

    Thanks SlowCo, I can't say enough good about the BMX bars. They are ideal for slightly older dudes like myself, especially ones who have neck flexibility issues.

    Vintage GT Palomar BBS02 BMX Klunker

    Hey Luis, glad to hear Portugal is slowly getting better. The US is now on the right track after getting rid of Trump, but we have soooo far to go. I've traveled a lot of Europe, but I haven't been to Portugal yet. Most of my time has been spent in Norway and Italy (family). That wooden display...

    That's looking good Luis, nice build on the wheel. I am really looking forward to seeing your hub motor come together. I've always wanted to do an IGH, but still haven't. Have a good day.

    Vintage GT Palomar BBS02 BMX Klunker

    Hi Luis.That's funny, I literally am checking ES because I was curious about how your build was going. I was fortunate enough to receive the vaccine because I am a teacher. I still wear 2 masks in public and take lots of precautions, but things are insane here in the US. It's like half our...

    Vintage GT Palomar BBS02 BMX Klunker

    The trusty GT continues to rack up miles, just about to hit 1300. Took it on a trip out to the California coast last weekend, back to where I grew up. Rode it out to the beach, decided to turn left and just keep riding. Schwalbe Super-Moto X 2.4" tires do surprisingly well on sand...

    Hey Luis, that's a lot of nice shiny beautiful new parts. I'm really looking forward to seeing this go together. I have my Trek 4300 torn apart and getting ready for powdercoating. I'm hoping to do a build with a aluminum battery box with the carbon wrap like yours. Hope you had a Merry...

    Vintage GT Palomar BBS02 BMX Klunker

    Hey Moto, yeah I noticed. I still have 3 16aH 6S packs and 2 16aH 4S packs. Gonna have to eventually switch to the Turnigy Graphene packs.

    Hey Luis, How're things going with the new build? Haven't heard from you in a bit, hoping you're ok. 8)

    Vintage GT Palomar BBS02 BMX Klunker

    The GT just hit 1100 miles the opther day and I figured it was time for an update. Since the last post I've added a Lekkie 36T bling ring and 170 mm buzzbars to the BBS02. These 2 improvements are probably my favorites yet. The Lekkie parts are beautifully designed and machined and really seem...

    The downside of more electric bikes

    I guess I'm really lucky, my LBS is happy to work on my DIY bikes. I always remove the battery and any other heavy accessories, and ALWAYS drop a few bucks in the shop's tip jar/beer fund. I do most of my own maintenance, but occasionally bring stuff in for things that require specialized tools.

    Help with 500c display

    Hey everyone, need some help here. The 500c display is my favorite because it's small and function is high. I was putting one of them back on the other night and the small clamp arm broke where the small pin holds it to the back of the display. I've looked all over the place and haven't been...

    Bafang BBS01/Gazelle/Shimano Auto D

    Welcome to ES dude, thanks for posting. I won't rain on your parade and tell you everything is shit. Beautiful bike, the battery should mount on the downtube, either on water bottle mounts, or you can use clamp-on bottle bracket mounts. The mid-drive should mount up nicely, aftermarket chain...

    How do you size the right Mid Drive?

    Good morning. I have 2 bikes with BBS02 drives from Luna Cycle that max out at 1.3kW and I love them both. That being said, my next MTB build will be a BBSHD just for extra durability. I think the HD gives you more room to grow/hotrod later on. Put on a 36T Lekkie chainring with a good battery...
