I ride my BBS02 for drivetrain longevity, rather than performance or battery life. You get used to riding a BBS where the motor is happy i.e spinning fast. Sometimes that requires a period of 'ghost pedalling'. If you have a throttle fitted, then no need to pedal, but for the motor to be happy...

Don't worry, the BBS series of motors can climb mega steep hills all day, as long as you get the gearing right. Fitting a 42T chainring is a good start. I tend to climb very steep hills with the lowest gear on the cassette and 'ghost pedal', as the cadence is too high for my little legs to keep...

I e-mailed them and asked whether the 'UK Dedicated Line [Arrival time:4-6 Days]' delivery service is a customs free service. Anna replied yes, but I'd like to hear from anyone who have used the dedicated line on a high value item, whether this is the case or not. The 'Europe via United...

Has anyone ordered anything recently from Green Bike Kit and used the 'UK Dedicated Line [Arrival time:4-6 Days]' delivery service? I'd like to get a heads up on the reliability of ordering something from them and using a fairly fast delivery service. The item I want is non battery...

As Woosh says, 12AWG will be fine. http://assets.bluesea.com/files/resources/newsletter/images/DC_wire_selection_chartlg.jpg

I think you'll find this is just Bafang's way of minimizing warranty claims, rather than complying to any laws. As most of us know, the Chinese like to make their own rules.

I would always fit a brake cut-off to the brake which has the motor. Front cut-off for front hub, rear for rear hub, rear for mid/crank drive.

You will pay VAT on goods over £15 though, which needs to be factored in when purchasing. Does seem to be a courier lottery though. You'll get a courier's fee slapped on too. I've never slipped through DHL's net on high value goods. Royal Mail is hit or miss on high value goods. Chinese post...

52v won't avoid voltage sag, it's probably just a little less noticeable than a 48v pack. I find that even though the 30Q's still sag when the pack is past half empty, I can change my riding style a little to compensate. This only works on a mid drive. It involves using the next gear up, as...

Totally agree flecc. It's worse on a tablet when coupled with sausage fingers :D

It's terrible voltage sag and loss of capacity that I experienced with the Samsung 29E pack. At approximately the same age and usage, my current 30Q pack is still going strong. IMHO, 48v or 52v doesn't make much of a difference, but the quality of the cells do. Voltage sag is the enemy...

Comparing my previous Samsung 29E 11.6Ah 48v battery with my current Samsung 30Q 12Ah 48v battery, I would say that the Samsung 30Q's are far superior to the 29E's.

BBS02 750w with QR rear wheel over 5k miles, no probs. Ride rough terrain and Bafang programmed for max torque.

Why don't you move to the UK @anotherkiwi, then you would save yourself £8.98 on postage :rolleyes:

It's possible, but you'd lose the facility to program the controller with the Bafang software, which is fairly essential IMHO. Green Bike Kit do a replacement controller with the gear sensor, but you'd have to double check fitment, depending how old your BBS01 is...

d8veh is good with colour codes, he'll be along soon to guide you ;)

Can you not fit the connector from original PAS to new one?

Have you tried disconnecting both brake sensor Higo connectors and going for a ride to see if problem persists? Be careful when riding without brake sensors connected though. Only go for test ride!

Woah, you got a steam roller? :eek:

Flay me alive for even suggesting this, but you are using branded pads and not some cheapy knock offs? I'm running a basic hydraulic Tektro 160mm set-up, with genuine Shimano pads, and never had any bother, and I'm pretty harsh on them.
