excellent donor bike, assuming the battery goes in. The additional mechanical integration work will be well worth it The harness is easy to chop up & resolder. Get yourself plenty of adhesive heat shrink. Higo connectors are available now on Ali express, but the original connectors can be reused.

Have you considered a bike carrier? I used to have a Witter tow ball mounted version. Not cheap, but I could load 3 bikes in less than a minute.

Hi, the controller seal wouldn’t necessarily need to be be disturbed when greasing the BBS02 large gear behind the chain wheel.

never had a problem with overheat, although I do run an external controller. Acceleration is fine, and will pull my 85kg away from stationery no problem. 28t is reserved for when the battery is flat. my usage case is road only, with clip pedals so please bear that in mind

For road use, I’m using 52t with 11-28 on the back

Speaking as a bbs02 owner, that chain stay clearance does look marginal, even allowing for the use of spacers. As you suggest, a safer bet would be a geared rear hub - don’t make the mistake that this is a compromise, because Kw for kw it’s just as good. I’d personally go that route, and focus...

Dave, do you know if the internal controller fits into both base designs? sorry op for sidetrack

Have to disagree with your keen cyclist friend - cleats are one of the best bike upgrades

I use a 5ml syringe, applying a tiny bead into each tooth

I use Mobil aircraft grease 28. Another potential culprit for the strange noise when pedalling is the (replaceable) freewheel pawls, which have failed before on my bbs01. It’d be best to elimate the lack of grease first

Ah ok, sorry I can’t help then. The gear does need greasing every 500 miles or so, hence acquiring the skills / tools to diy would be worthwhile. If you do end up having the motor serviced, get them to fit one of these covers, which includes a grease nipple...

Have you tried greasing the large gear that sits behind the chain ring plastic cover ?

Is the 03 error still present with the motor cable unplugged?

My anti theft strategy: - display less - pit lock wheel skewers - torx screw on seat clamp - under seat remote light / seat alarm (3 in 1) - ‘tile’ tracker stuffed inside battery case - v small / light / cheap Chinese U lock, held by kryptonite lock carrier
