    Questions answered! I love you all!

    @bnooooogers, thanks so much for the feedback! I didn't realize that series connections will all default to the same DC level (i know i'm janking up my nomenclature here...) That makes complete sense though! I wish some pre-cut 12v strips were available on amazon similar to the ones linked...

    Questions answered! I love you all!

    Hi all! Thank you all for your help in this ongoing process of getting my first bike up and running! My MAC kit arrived earlier this week and I've been holding off on assembling it because of a question not yet answered by EM3ev. Perhaps it's just too obvious or simple a question, but I just...

    Critique final build choices please! DD Commuter build.

    Thank you guys for weighing in on battery safety as well! I've chosen a spot on my back porch that I think will serve! Should be easy enough to waterproof an area. The Luna Safe-Charge battery box (https://lunacycle.com/luna-charge-safe-small-size-lithium-battery-box/) has me gameplanning a...

    Critique final build choices please! DD Commuter build.

    No rumme, you've been trying to sell me on your own used battery/charger combo. I appreciate your enthusiasm at the tech and your own experience with the batteries. However, I will not be buying your used battery from you. Please let it alone and find another buyer. EDIT: This response was...

    Critique final build choices please! DD Commuter build.

    Well, the bike that I've got is the one that I'll build around. I'm looking for the best solution to the problem wherein the only fixed parameter is the 29er. I'm hopefully buying from em3ev because of the CA3 availability. Which winding, amperage, and battery combo will serve my situation best?

    Critique final build choices please! DD Commuter build.

    Dog and Rhino, thank you both for weighing-in! I think you're both right... I'm trying to do too much with this build and would be better served with a MAC. Will the same class/size of battery serve this motor effectively? Should I aim for the 20, 25 or 30amp controller? Also, I'm thinking...

    Critique final build choices please! DD Commuter build.

    Hi Endless-Sphere! I've been leaning on you all for choices throughout this process while saving up the funds for this purchase. After this long time, I'm about to pull the trigger and just wanted to throw up a wall of information in the hopes that your collective experiences will idiot-proof...

    Cost/Benefit Questions for first ebike build (BBX's)

    The deal in question is no longer on offer. Perhaps this is for the best though.... I'm considering myself disabused of the necessity of a mid drive for road maintenance. The Dutch method above I've actually used to patch a flat before. Thank you all for posting in this thread and I will...

    Cost/Benefit Questions for first ebike build (BBX's)

    They do, but it's actually more expensive than the BBS02 with the sale. The more competitively priced hub motors offered by Luna are non-branded options: https://lunacycle.com/ebike-kit-1000-watt-waterproof-connectors-hub-motor-conversion/ https://lunacycle.com/double-gear-double-torque-motor/

    Cost/Benefit Questions for first ebike build (BBX's)

    Using the veloroutes site (awesome!!!) I'm seeing the hills are no more than 6% grade and aren't especially long persay. I'm just a wimp :D Places to buy MAC motors include em3ev and where else? Having convinced myself of the mid-drive, I have under-researched the hub motor buying options...

    Cost/Benefit Questions for first ebike build (BBX's)

    Hmmm, Google maps is saying 600ft of climbing over the 10mi. The hills on the new route don't seem as bad as the previous commute. I think the total elevation change is about the same if not less than my previous 6.7mi commute. Is there a better website for judging hills? As a novice, I am...

    Cost/Benefit Questions for first ebike build (BBX's)

    Hi ESers, I'm seeking advice on my first build regarding the cost/benefit analysis of the BBS02 vs BBSHD (or any other build strongly suggested). The current Luna Cycle sale on BBS02's has me thinking twice about my conviction of "BBSHD or bust". Basically, what would your thoughts be on the...

    Bottom Bracket Standards and Bafang mid drive motors

    Are there any websites for looking up information on brackets for those of us shopping for bikes expressly for future conversions? I'm having a hell of a timegetting any information on a Trek Marlin Gary Fisher edition from 2013. Bikepedia has it listed as unknown...

    Bottom Bracket Standards and Bafang mid drive motors

    Would anyone be able to tell me if the bottom bracket on a 2013 trek marlin would fit a BBSHD conversion? My Google fu is weak and I can't pick up particulars on threading. Hers a link to the bike in question. It's the Gary Fisher edition. http://worcester.craigslist.org/bik/5668909359 Other...
