    Thanks, I've jumped into this thread. May indeed be the same challenge.

    BBS02 Cranks Not Engaging

    Did you ever have any success diagnosing the issue? My brand new EM3EV Bafang is having the same problem, I think. https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=72942 I'm wondering if this isn't our problem...

    EM3EV Bafang question

    Hi everyone, I recently installed a Bafang 750w mid-drive, with the full EM3EV package, on a 2016 Specialized Sirrus. I've had the kit installed for 2 weeks and really enjoy it. Huge improvement all around over my old EMotion Neo Xtrem in terms of performance. Still learning a lot about DIY...

    Help selecting best equipment for a beginner

    Sorry - that was my mistake, should have done better hunting for GRIN on Google. Thanks for the link - found the kit recommended. I think I need more time than I have to do this all correctly, so I'll probably go the premade route again. Buying the kit, finding the right/compatible battery...

    Help selecting best equipment for a beginner

    This is great - thanks for the recommendations! I'm certainly going more for visual stealth than sound stealth. The Crystalyte seems like the right fit.. thanks again. Re the recommendation for a Grin 1000W kit, I did some googling but couldn't find out where to buy these. Could you share a link?

    Help selecting best equipment for a beginner

    Thanks for sharing. I did read that thread already. Good info, but not quite what I was looking for.. still, if that is the extent of input from the community I'm still appreciative as everyone here is volunteering time and not getting paid. Based on that thread, I should add my height and...

    Help selecting best equipment for a beginner

    Recently had my Neo Xtrem stolen. I'm totally sold on eBikes, have to replace it, and have a couple dollars from insurance to attempt a DIY. I have enough budget to build my own, but I have no tools or build expertise. I'm patient and can learn, but don't have a garage - so I can't buy a ton of...

    Very Long Review of the 2014 BH Emotion Neo Extrem

    Last couple issues have been worked out via warranty. Now that I have a functional bike, I love it. I'm all in on this hobby and I am thoroughly enjoying this bike. Lots of info in this thread, but ultimately this is just my experience with the bike and yours is likely to be different and unique.

    Very Long Review of the 2014 BH Emotion Neo Extrem

    It's possible there are elements of the decision making process that I'm not aware of that would make this all make sense. For example, I was talking to a BH Easy Motion retailer (that was working on my wive's non electric road bike) and they mentioned that BH Easy Motion bikes are basically...

    Very Long Review of the 2014 BH Emotion Neo Extrem

    I haven't shared this post with the vendor yet - I am hoping they will just do the right thing. They've now agreed to send me a new controller kit as well. Ironically, we are getting to the point where there have been issues with the battery mount, motor, and controller. Add in the dinged up...

    BH Emotion Neo Xtrem

    @Eddie, did you ever figure out what happened when your battery mysteriously went to zero? Mine just did that today. Also, I had the same problem with the battery not fitting and the manufacturer squared it up for me - I'd recommend contacting them. Thanks for the heads up on the loose fittings...

    Very Long Review of the 2014 BH Emotion Neo Extrem

    A new bike wasn't presented as an option - but they did recommend a local shop that was authorized to do repairs. The technician (who was excellent) from the nearby bike shop had to replace a couple parts, including the motor. Apparently the loose battery was a result of missing pieces that hold...

    Top 10 eBike Conversion Kits & Where to Buy

    I know there are a couple folks in my shoes on the forum who want to try a first time conversion kit out, but it seems daunting. Couple questions for the more experienced: 1. Which of these kits is the most turnkey (for <= $1100)? 2. Which bike, commonly available on Craigslist in most cities...

    Very Long Review of the 2014 BH Emotion Neo Extrem

    Thank you PRW - a quick skim and I already found a couple others with similar issues and potential resolutions. For example, a blinking battery indicator on startup (which mine had) seems to imply either a torque sensor issue or a faulty battery. My battery, out of the box, was a little banged...

    Very Long Review of the 2014 BH Emotion Neo Extrem

    That's excellent - I'm glad to hear yours has been so reliable. To clarify, I did buy mine new, with a warranty. There others who have posted on ES, and more across the internet (Google search) that have had something else go wrong with brand new bikes of the same model; but, I do suspect the...

    Very Long Review of the 2014 BH Emotion Neo Extrem

    Update: Discussing taking the bike to a certified repair technician after remotely working with the product team to troubleshoot. Will share the results. I think this is an important point to note - if you are not able to wrench on this bike yourself, you should consider how close you live to a...

    Easy question on purchase choice?

    Super helpful - thank you Russell. Before seeing this, I went ahead and purchased a premade bike; but, that is looking like it won't be working out: http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=63669 I'll be doing some more homework over the next couple weeks and will update everyone...

    Very Long Review of the 2014 BH Emotion Neo Extrem

    This is really long, but I think it would have been really helpful for me had I had a super comprehensive review before I made my first eBike purchase. (picture not mine, though I added my pictures/video at the bottom of the thread) TLDR; 2014 Neo Extrem, in my limited experience, can have...

    Wow - thank you everyone. I'm now going to spend the afternoon following the links and researching, and thanks for the pointer to update my profile.. taken care of as of now. Re the question on what ENG stands for, it's Engineering.. sorry for the confusion on that front. I'm doing the...

    Easy question on purchase choice?

    Good points Russell, thank you. I've watched all many of that guy's YouTube videos and read both reviews - great recommendations. He is not necessarily definitive in his recommendations - esp with those two bikes as they are not quite apples to apples. One of the surprising videos was the...

    Easy question on purchase choice?

    Thanks for the reply. I'm fine waiting on shipping/delivery.. no issue waiting. My only concern with the DIY is finding a setup that is in my price range that won't be beyond my skillset or require purchasing a large number of tools/gear/meters that would ultimately push my budget too high.
