That's why I'm disappointed Conti discontinued their ebike Division as their motor and gearbox looked like what I imagine the future will be.

Hmmmmm, I have already hollowed out the old controller as I was going to replace the caps with better quality ones, but on getting through the potting compound I found the whole thing had a little bit of fire damage. I also have a battery in a Hailong case, so might look into it a bit more now.

I have and use a gear sensor. I think it's just the fact that derailleurs are not made for torque electric motors and legs put through them.

I thought about an external controller, but the pain of going from an integrated set up controller to getting an external controller fitted and waterproofed just seems like way more hassle, and it removes any sort of selling on potential with the BBS02. I can get smooth gear changes with my...

We were saying it was only a few years off a few years ago, the fact that continental entered the market, is a big player in this field (has money and connections) and has shut down not only this product, but its whole ebike business and this is one of the fastest growing markets too should be a...

Turns out this forum isn't too bad with you set to ignore.

Mid drives are better for hills, but they can wreck your gears and make you adjust/replace them constantly. I don't know how much you weigh or the incline of hills, but at 5'4 you should be ok with a hub motor. I personally make and mod bikes but I'd get a full build from Decathlon rather than...

well most of the 250w stuff we get is 350w thats rebadged anyway, just like all the shimano, brose and bosch motors are all ~600w and badged and limited to 250w. I figured the 500w bafang hub motor would suffice, but there is just so much choice in the hub market and no one seems to recommend...

I wouldn't say it was durable, I would say it runs way too close to its max capable limit. We know they used extremely cheap caps on the original controller and they have used cheap caps on the upgraded version. This is somewhat proven by people upgrading the caps which involves removing the...

I know what needs doing, I don't think it's worth it for something that's I'm going to restrict way down, as I don't want to run the motor much over 60%, for longevity. I made this clear, but you all got your knickers in a twist like I was some crazy anarchist wanting to see what happens when...

No it isn't, I regularly drive at 20mph in 30mph zones, i also drive at 35-40 in some 30mph zones. I know the rules on ebikes that go over 15.5mph are not appropriate. The fact that you think all you have to do is get an ebike SVA tested shows you don't actually know jack ****. If anything...

Enjoy the rules you adhere to and the suppression those rules have on ebiking and its uptake. Just because it's the law, doesn't mean it's right. Being gay was against the law. https://www.thefactsite.com/funny-laws-in-uk/ it's ok to kill a Scotsman (under certain circumstances), but don't beat...

For normal police its usually 10% + 2mph, if it's the traffic cops (white hats instead of black) then they are way more likely to give you a ticket for 31 in a 30. I could do that, then would I be legal? No, theres still more hoops to go through. And lets not get started on trying to insure...

I can do 25mph on leg power...... thats fine...... but 25mph on leg and electric.... thats way too fast!?!?!??! See I had to stop riding my bike to work when my missus got a new job that meant i didn't have time to cycle to work, If i got a 15.5 mph legal bike i could take it 1 day a week and...

That's my point

So I take it no one has ever gone over the designated speed limit? I'm not driving 25mph everywhere, I'm not treating old ladies as pins on a bowling lane, I'm just prepared to go a bit faster with electric assistance than the current rules state, but still a lot slower than I can legally pedal...

That guy will get most of his sentence for fleeing the scene and they'll go after him more for everything because he tried to escape justice. Like I said I worked in the field for a decade, I know how it works.

Have you seen any videos and stories of getting it registered? You think this is the best it will ever be? Do you think it's good for uptake of ebikes? For sure tell people what the rules are but I'm a grown ass man. If 38mph is fine under leg power what's the big deal about 25mph with electric...

I was only ever shattered on my ebike if i wanted to be. Going to work was a leisurely ride in high assistance. Going home was making my heart and lungs bleed in low / no assistance. You think you want a throttle, but just get used to the assistance levels, and pedalling is much more natural.

Don't get the mid drive, from someone in a really similar situation that got a bbs02 750w kit. reasons against mid drives: Bottom brackets are all different, so sometimes you can't get a perfect fit easily. Chainline is off with anything other than a bling ring, and thats better but not great...
