    Bafang mid drive double chain ring help

    I used the precialps spider and truvativ and shimano chainrings http://precialps.com/uk/20-accessories-bafang-bbs01-bbs02 they seem to be out of stock at the moment. I think they make a batch when they have enough orders. I asked on here about the derailleur and was given a link to a mounting...

    Chain for a crank drive

    I don't recommend the cheap bulk pack KMC chains (6-7 speed) I have moved to Wippermann which I find much better for a good price.

    Bafang mid drive double chain ring help

    I don't think it will reach, it doesn't on the GSM which is a clone of the BBS0, you will need a bracket or a long reach derailleur. I use the same method as d8veh except I have perfected it: I carry a glove in my pannier bag... :rolleyes: My double chain ring cost less than 50 € and I can...

    Pet hates?

    That would be "It is debatable" or "It's debatable". And for the OP: I don't hate pets, but I am not a huge fan either.

    Let's talk torque

    Thanks, sort of what I was thinking - definitely CST 500 W. For the moment the bike is a project for the end of the year, when the CAD is done I'll start a thread.

    Which bike will completely replace my car

    We did the feather vs bolt drop in high school physics class too :p. 1 kg of wood and 1 kg of lead will both reach terminal velocity if dropped from high enough but one takes longer than the other because of air resistance...

    Which bike will completely replace my car

    This is the one I would buy to replace a car: http://ebiketips.co.uk/content/reviews/electric-city-bikes/giant-quick-e-602 The review is balanced I think because he has a couple of negative appreciations. He is wrong when it comes to the double chain ring which is essential in my neck of the...

    Let's talk torque

    This is an interesting page: https://etrike.wordpress.com/2013/07/06/bafang-swxh-with-steel-planetary-gears-a-short-summary/ d8veh I still can't get my muddled, quickly ageing, old head around what motor RPM I would need for a 24" wheel with decent torque and 40+ km/h top speed WOT. In an ideal...

    Cannot make my New Oxygen S-Cross MTB do more than 20mph.

    Protecting settings is a EU directive requirement. Please discuss the implications of that on the appropriate thread :rolleyes:. My kits came unprotected so no messy code number to find or remember. Both kits arrived with the cut off set to 72 km/h (45 mph) out of the box...

    Which bike will completely replace my car

    Yes. I managed legal cut off speed up this hill with my hub motor bike at age 61, I am quite fit with strong legs. 3.8 km long and 2.3 km long with bits over 15% coming back up the steep side. I calculated that I was providing over 120 W to achieve that speed. You sound like a strong cyclist...

    I'm looking for a decent budget commuter ebike in France ..any recommendations please?

    In Norauto you can get a bike with a LiIon battery for about 650€, Decathlon best value for money is the Original 700 which is 1100€. What about Germany? The Norauto bike will need a new front brake otherwise it is OK with a Bafang hub motor and a no name 8 Ah 36 V battery.

    Let's talk torque

    The best one at the moment is the BBS02 "250W" 25 Amp. Basically a re-branded BBS02 500W, I think that it will be my next mid-drive. https://em3ev.com/shop/bafang-36v-250-500w-bbs02-kit/ Given for >100 N.m. on the bafang site. I would couple it with a big powerful 36 V battery, say a 17 Ah or a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    1. You have been going there for years even owning a house there IIRC? Just pick up any Spanish newspaper or jump onto any Spanish news web site and you will see the answer to that question. 2. Didn't you have a PM called Thatcher? She is the one who laid down the basis for your current work...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Adding to the above: the EU working on policies and directives as a group is more cost effective than individual countries doing it alone. For companies bringing products and services to market across multiple national borders it is also a cost savings (ask the Chinese). And having a central...

    Specialized Turbo X vs Giant Quick E+ 25

    No the magnet counts rotations not the time taken to go around so moving it changes nothing. You need a dongle to de-restrict the Yamaha motor on the Giant. The specialized requires reprogramming by someone with a cable and the service software.
