    Bafang BBS01B Battery

    that 15miles is surely low PAS,15mph cutoff and typical 60% keep current ? i have the 18amp bbs01.unrestricted speed and 100% KC.i get around 20 miles on high assist from a 17.4 ah battery. a lot of newbies can get misled into too small a capacity battery.because so many quote their range on...

    Newbie can't decide what kit to get

    yeah those motors are pretty standard you cant go far wrong.the chinese have been making them long enough. a few things to note.the controller max amps of 15 wont give much power you really want a 17-20amp. those motors can handle 1000watts. 36volt x 20amp =720watts. my missus bike is 36v x...

    Newbie can't decide what kit to get

    just about all e bike kits are made in china inc the best stuff.id only buy one from a seller in the uk personally for ease of warranty in the event. i personally have a very old chinese made rear hub which is reliable and still going strong.likewise the controller which is just a cheapie , £16...

    if u were blown away by a bosch imagine the effect of a bafang bbshd kit and 52v batt on your bike....lol. you can zip up hills without even peddling on full whack and the rest of the time you can poodle around on lower power. otherwise those rear hub motor kits on ebay are inexpensive.paired...

    sounds like thats his best bet then.suppose bafang didnt bother doing that themselves as they have the bbs02 model for those wanting a motor pushing more power.

    if you have anxiety about legality and want high torque for hill climbing than this looks your best bet to be sure. If its brighton bikes own creation id be concerned the bbs01b wiring can take 25 amps without serious care.the bbs02 has the 25amp controller,but thicker wiring. Although my 350w...

    i have 2 different makes of narrow wide chainring ,neither are actual lekies.dont think because the lekie is the most advertised its the best.the others are EXACTLY the same quality and cheaper.i personally think any price over £20-£30 is a cheek considering the huge amount they make. but its a...

    Strange bafang didnt just do that with their bbs01 then.as the ones marked 350w come limited also to 15.5mph same as the ones marked 250w.

    25amps 36v vs 30amps 52v is a lot less ,but still great.how on earth can it be a street legal 250w tho? thats 7 amps more than the NOT street legal 18amp 350w bbs01b i have.

    i usually ride around in 15/17T gears ,dont have to worry about changing down when stopping in prep for starting again.so that will slow ur speed down and off road and inclines of course.im stating the speed in higher gear on the flat. u can have any speed u want plus super climbing power.just...

    Best seller for the Bafang BBS01B?

    definately,its the max battery voltage the HD is designed for gives even more power. By detuned do you mean lower assist level because of course you can use lower PAS for that.i set my PAS 5 levels at 30amps,25,18,13,9. with a 52v and 13amps you got more power than a bbs01 250w on max.lots more...

    i remember the days of crawling up Forder valley hill, Plymouth on a regular pushbike ,28t chainring an a granny gear at the back...never again. Pushbike to HD ,the bike equivalent of my clio diesel to an Aston Martin.

    same here, speeds fun from time to time but the hill climbing ability 2nd to none. ive just replaced my worn 11-30 (42t narrow/wide up front)with a 13-26. never use the 11 or 30. usually on 15/17 all the time, 23/26 on steep hills.
