Hi Dale, I fitted the BBS01 to mine, and I changed the forks and brakes to Hydraulic rather than cable. I bought the whole thing as a kit from Woosh bikes, but it’s an easy install wherever you get it from. The only problem I had was, was mounting the battery, but easily overcome with some threaded rivets.
be careful when mounting the battery, invest in some threaded rivet heads and add an additional one the water bottle mounts aren’t strong enough with only the two mounting points
Because I'll be using on a 5 mile round trip commute I've gone for a 48v 7ah Sony bottle battery. My bike when finished will look like this one https://www.eco-ebike.com/products/36v-7-0ah-water-bottle-battery
That's a 36v battery, not 48v. Just saying.
Lol it's just the site I got idea from. It's all legit from Unit Pack Power via Aliexpress
They still don't do a 48v battery in that type, assuming that you have ordered and want the 36v 7ah one, which has Samsung 35E cells in it, it'll struggle with that motor. the cells are rated at * amps each, which means 24 amps for 3P, but, as a general rule, you should have 100% headroom, which means they're good for about 12 amps. The problem with crank motors is that they can draw maximum current all the time by gear selection. i'd be looking at a 30 cell battery with LG HG2s or Samsung 30Q or any other high discharge rate cells for that application. the battery you have chosen will work, but it'll be saggy and probably won't last very long. It'll be no problem if you ride everywhere in eco mode.
