It appears that everyone is out of stock on a bbshd controller with anderson connectors. Is there a supplier or seller with the ability to sell this controller? I am having issues with my bbshd that I believe would be fixed by replacing it.
I would save for a little longer, bbshd with a torque sensor was spotted at eurobike at the AccolmileBike stand. Hopefully more news to come soon!I'd be saving my dollars for the latest BBSHD version.

There is no replacing the motor without destroying the frame, it is rusted in for good. If I replace the controller with one that is Anderson connected, I can use it with my other bbshds that have all been bomber with daily use over 5 years in the event that the motor blew.The reason they are not available is the high failure rate of the Anderson connectors. I suspect they were NOT original Anderson and/or they were poorly implemented. I had a few replacement sets in the matching colors, from Grin. But when Bafang, to my joy, stopped using them I lost track of my small stash. Powerwerx
BTW your BBSHD version, the earliest versions of the BBSHD has a bad rotor shaft. Many have failed and Bafang made them stronger in later versions.

Whenever something that works well gets an "update" it often makes it worse. Unless it is 5 pounds lighter and worls the same, I am mot interested. I have ridden some torque sensing bikes that were unpredictable and it might be a purchase I regret.Likely the system that locks us out of programming and has a proprietary battery ala Bosch
Perhaps, but I have 4 motors with andersons so it would be nice to not have to do that. The one controller that I bought and returned didn't have bullets or andersons, I don't know what they were called. Also, if there were different styles of bullets, I wouldn't want to get the wrong oneIt's not that hard to replace the bullet style connectors with Andersons.
I'm not sure, but I think that they meant you could replace the bullet connectors on the new controller with Andersons that match your motor. With the proper crimper its' pretty easy to install the anderson PP45 contacts (most likely those are the size you'd need).Perhaps, but I have 4 motors with andersons so it would be nice to not have to do that.

If it ain't broke don't fix. And if it hasn't broken with over 5 years of heavy abuse it isn't something I am nervous about continuing to use even if there were problems with every other bbshd on earth.who wants to go backwards to the old firmware? and again the anderson versions had a lot of warranty issues with the anderson connectors. i’m certain i had more than a dozen issues with those we sold. Zero issues in the next ( years with ballet connectors. get a good anderson crumpet and you’re golden.
Yep just watched High voltages video on it, It's a revision of the m625 NOT the bbshd. So stuck with their shit canbus system locked down and only their "smile" batteries, HARD PASS! Why bafang decided to upgrade the m625 when it's unanimously decided the m625 was in everyway worse than the bbshd I have no clue. Sad day thoughLikely the system that locks us out of programming and has a proprietary battery ala Bosch
or were they Anderson clones and the inserts were poorly seated. i saw that a dozen times. i’m curious as to who saw your scenario? not doubting but curious as to how common your take happened. great observation, thank you.is usually that the wires are routed away from them in such a way that th
i’m certain any old stock is unobtanium. i’m in the camp that thinks now is the time to stash a few BBSHD. i’m also suspecting Bafang is looking to abandon the DIY market in fsvoof s Bosch, Shimano, and et al business model and denying the right to repair. hopefully the movement to insure access to parts and schematics will win the day. BTW has anyone ever seen a BBSxx series complete diagram.!!?? Bafang has long been a pain in the arse for DIY fellas. we got more this forum than Bafang.Since they are so inferior, I will gladly take several of them off your hands!
luck pure luck regarding the rotor shaft. we sold an amazing number of backwards compatible rotors with compatible bearing for the weak shaft versions.And if it hasn't broken with over 5 years of heavy abuse
Various member's posts on here over the years with pictures of failures (mostly of hubmotor phase wire failures, mostly of those that were tied down to the frame rather than "floating") led me to deliberate experimentation and personal experience. Not just on the PP types, but also on the SB-class shells (which use the PP style contacts and work the same way) Not sure if the pics are still here after all the forum conversions server transfers, and upgrades, but they should be in one of my threads, I think, at least several years back.i’m curious as to who saw your scenario? not doubting but curious as to how common your take happened. great observation, thank you.
The phase wires with in that earliest BBSHD version were the colored Anderson's and a LOT of them did as you wrote, short out. The matching blue, green, and yellow from Grin were ALMOST a color match. I'm convinced Bafang used copy cats. The company and mid motors I love and hate. And just finished another build with. I'm with improperly installed and likely not actually made by Anderson.phase wire failures
On what system? If you mean the bafang middrive stuff, you'd know better than I.I'm curious, were the Anderson connectors used on phase wires for a very brief period?

(whoever that is?)
gotcha! but how best to know we’re getting the real deal anderson? i’ve searched but failed to sort how to know the real from clones. other than subtle color differences and sound. but which is the real deal. compared to you i don’t know shit from shinola. my experience is limited to BBSxx, Mac, and grin stuff, some oem 9c, mxus, and rudimentary battery building and repair. what little i had has been stolen by mini strokes. TIAs suck.If you mean "whoever Anderson" is, they are the originators of the Powerpole connectors
@BBSHME , I have a new BBSHD controller I may be willing to sell you, I wanted to replace it with a VESC anyway.It appears that everyone is out of stock on a bbshd controller with anderson connectors. Is there a supplier or seller with the ability to sell this controller? I am having issues with my bbshd that I believe would be fixed by replacing it.
