    Expected lifetime of a BBS02

    Not ideal, but I pack mine with grease. During periodic maintenance, I've noticed there's no rust on the axle, which hopefully means water is not getting in.

    BBS02 Advice

    It's difficult to speculate on anyone's mileage, unless you seriously look at the rider's terrain, use (stops/starts/rider's input) and most importantly, how their controller is programmed. For example, a bike with a controller's 'Keep Current' programmed at 30%, will go much further than one...

    Expected lifetime of a BBS02

    Yeah, totally agree with anotherkiwi. Clean up and pack that bugger with some good quality grease such as AeroShell Grease 22.

    BBS02 Advice

    Have that particular conversion too from Eclipse, with the Samsung 30Q 12Ah battery. Yeah, they can be a bit slow at responding to e-mails, but I have bought a few expensive items from them and they've been spot on with delivery. I get about 15 miles out of the battery before it suffers from...

    BBSHD grinding noise issues

    I think one way of establishing what area needs to be looked at, is by carrying out a little test. Pedal the bike totally unpowered for a distance, and if you have issues where the chainring is not turning with the pedals, then the clutch/pawls/secondary gear assembly needs attention. Then...

    Cyclamatic power plus

    You could try contacting: https://www.thesportshq.com/cyclamatic-power-plus-cx1-electric-mountain-bike See if they have any spares. Think your chain quick link thingy is on upside down too o_O

    BBSHD grinding noise issues

    I believe you need to be looking in the area of the nylon gear and pinion gear, rather than the secondary gear assembly. Broken secondary gear assembly pawls would still allow the motor to turn the chainring, as the secondary gear is driven directly by the pinion gear. Broken pawls in the...

    Maybe it would be better to post any concerns you have that it is not working well.

    BBSHD grinding noise issues

    IIRC, the nylon gear inside the housing has a one way bearing to prevent the motor from being turned whilst the secondary gear is turning during pedalling. Maybe this is the cause of the noises and the reason why it takes a few seconds for the motor to provide drive to the chainring. If the...

    Bafang BBS02 axle gearing lost its bite..

    Did you use the 'UK dedicated line' delivery service and did you end up paying any import fees?

    Bafang BBS02 axle gearing lost its bite..

    That's good news as mine is noisy and I was thinking of replacing just the secondary gear, but thought the newer ones wouldn't fit my older model.

    Help - too many punctures

    I had the Land Cruisers on for a while, but suffered a couple of punctures. Mind you, the tyre sealant probably helps in your case. I forgot to mention in post #7, that I also use Slime filled inner tubes. I think that Marathon Plus and Slime make a great partnership in the prevention of punctures.

    Help - too many punctures

    That level of puncture protection is quite low on Schwalbe's protection level list. https://www.schwalbetires.com/node/2430 Go for Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres, which have Smart Guard protection. I've used them for thousands of miles with no punctures.

    Why a Bafang BBSxx programming cable is a worthy investment!

    Tried programming the PAS start current to above 50% on my BBS02, but it reverts back to 50% on any value above 50%. I'm guessing it's locked to this max in the firmware. Can anyone confirm if their BBSHD is locked in this manner?

    Bafang BBS02 axle gearing lost its bite..

    Bear in mind that secondary gear replacement is a 30 minute job, whereas the pinion gear is a whole load of extra work (read pain in the arse). If the teeth on the pinion are fine, then I would just replace the secondary gear. I doubt if the gear sets are matched at the machining stage, so I...

    Wanted, BBS parts - LCD, harness, brake sensors

    Grab yourself one of the fitting tools too, as the motor can shift about if not tightened to the bottom bracket super tight. Here's a thread that was started, referencing stuff that is handy is have if you own a BBS mid drive...
