    First Electric Build: Half-Fat 29r Surly E-ECR w/ Bafang BBS

    Hi Keith! I have Tektro Dorados on the ECR which have a reed switch built into the levers. I believe ebikessf even sells the levers with the bafang plugs on them. For what it is worth, my newest build (in progress) is using the Magura Hydraulic Switches which I find to be as effective, only...

    First Electric Build: Half-Fat 29r Surly E-ECR w/ Bafang BBS

    Thanks Fox, agreed the ECR is an excellent frame to build on for all day riding and general shit kicking. After some time, and ultimately paying attention to my watt-meter, I have learned that letting off the throttle and giving up those last 3-4 MPH of top speed I can effectively double my...

    Wave Ebike another Indiegogo backed Alibaba quality bike

    I have been watching these crowdfunded bikes for some time, not to purchase, but out of professional curiosity as I would like to also someday bring a mass-market ebike to America. What amazes me about the Wave bike in particular is how many red flags there are in this campaign, just...

    First Electric Build: Half-Fat 29r Surly E-ECR w/ Bafang BBS

    Thanks Nobuo! Appreciate the kind words. The motor is the 750w Bafang who's performance has been detailed better elsewhere but it has plenty of torque for local hills and enough umph to get me to 25-28mph without pedaling. The headlight is off of the Schmidt SON28 frond dynamo hub which puts...

    Two Questions - BB Drive Systems

    Howdy! I just picked up some pre-modified Shimano crank arms from a gasser bike supplier. They are a tad heavier and of much higher quality than the Stock Bafang's. I have not completed my build yet buy they fit a BBS02 perfectly and gave me a better color option. Cost me $40 shipped...

    Bafang 750W BBS02 w/ Nuvinci N360 & Gates Belt for Commuter?

    Thanks all for the interest and feedback. I gave it a go and pretty much hit it on the head, and I have given up altogether on this bike and am moving on to another bike. EBB just wont work, chainline is a mess, adapter makes it worse. Since I was unable to make the combination work, I thought...

    Greetings! I have been lurking around these parts for better than 6 months and have found the community an invaluable resource for my first foray into electric propulsion. Background: I intend to use my bike for commuting to work and generally around Seattle. My daily commute is less than 5...
