Hello folks!
I live in the countryside and alongside mountains (lots of MTB trails) and I've decided to build some bikes to rent as a side/weekend business.
Got a BBSHD myself and love it, but too expensive to build a fleet.
As this is going to be just for dirty/gravel roads, not actually trails, there is a wider range of possible bikes to use as a platform (most likely HT MTBs with a decent drivetrain/brakes/tires).
Regarding the motor/kit: BUILD THEM ALL with 750w BBS02. But why?
1. Minimum price difference from 500w or 250w
2. Plenty of power for lazy tourists and larger riders
3. Possibility of limiting motor to 18a to give it a security margin for longevity and still have decent power
4. Not so big batteries (maybe 13s3p with 3500mah cells would suffice), easy to charge and have spares
5. Can mount with/without throttle.
First, I've considered Tsdz2 for being cheap and more docile, even to kids. But have no experience with them and decided to stick with well programmed Bafangs for now. Maybe build one or two Tsdz2 or BBS01 for fun using a full suspension bike or teenager 24" rims.
Any thoughts?
