    BBS02 intermittent power (advice needed please)

    You didnt by any chance get the throttle soaked in rain? I and many others have suffered controller issues after such a situation. Those symptoms are familiar to this.

    surprise results with bbs 'keep current' setting

    I think your right there.My bbshd was and still is 60% K C and yet suffers no lack of performance from it.I see the amps drop as expected on the dp18 ,when putting effort in and picking up when lightly ghost peddling (tho not down to 60%). The bbs01 performs in a completely different manner as...

    surprise results with bbs 'keep current' setting

    Bump..Hasnt anyone got an opinion ?, zero interest, im surprised. I remember a time a post like this would have had lots of feedback/discussion. This is an important performance settings for the bbs. Incidently increasing 'keep current' to 100% massively improved the delay/power cut/dead zone...

    Neat / tidy long cables on Bafang BBS02 ?

    Yeah its the biggest pain with these kits ,why do they do that.Do they think we all ride recumberents? They should provide a seperate kit for those with extra long cables. Ive got the gear and light wires rolled up an zip tied in place under the bottom bracket. With the main bus cable excess...

    BBS02 waterproofing

    the motors not broken the controller is.I sent mine back,cost £4 2nd class recorded.Eclipse fitted it to another bike.tested it ,confirmed and replaced. Was pretty straight foward.They replaced the throttle before that and the bus cable too because one of the brake sensors had stopped working...

    surprise results with bbs 'keep current' setting

    hi fordulike. You may be right. Though I seem to remember with the new controller that was programmed to 40% ,that it was gutless right from the start offs. when i fitted the watt meter,using max PAS 5, it always hovered around 8 - 8.5 amps,sometimes a brief 9 amps. which would tie in with a...

    surprise results with bbs 'keep current' setting

    Its the common understanding that the keep current set at 100% will give 100% of the AMPS you have the PAS level set at.Regardless whether you peddle at low or high cadence. If you set the 'keep current ' to say 50% .You will get 100% of the AMPS for the selected PAS when peddling at low cadence...

    BBS02 waterproofing

    mark.im sorry to say this,but sounds like you have the same issue i had.the motor randomly dies for periods of time,or cuts in and out using PAS ,when the throttles connected ,when under load,such as starting off from stopped.this has been caused by the un waterproofed throttle shorting the...

    BBS02 Advice

    It is very hilly here in west cornwall. im always hitting the throttle .its a marin mtb not a road bike. im often around 27-30+mph on the flat.(with the amps up) pas 3 at 13amps & 52v still wipes the floor with my bbs01 350w tho. but i can get 27 miles with moderate throttle use. i...

    BBS02 Advice

    id be very carefull of the ranges most people claim.they may be true enough but are usually for lower end PAS level.i think most ebikers are interested in getting good range and like to put in personal effort.so do i ,but i like to enjoy the buzz of full power too.once tasted its hard not to for...

    BBS02 waterproofing

    i dont think u need to worry about the displays.mine have all had plenty of rain on them without issue.i opened one up once and they seem waterproofed. eclipse are a small team i believe and take ages to reply so dont worry. that error sounds a little ominous, fingers x nothing too bad has...

    BBS02 waterproofing

    A common thing,finding battery bracket slots dont line up with bottle mounts on frame.the best and easiest solution is to fit a RIV NUT in the frame. the aluminium ones are the easiest for crimping in the hole u drill,with a homemade tool. use the next size up M6 than the M5 s that are the...

    BBS02 waterproofing

    pete is dead on the money. i can speak from experience of bbs controller damage from rain getting into that throttle. in the end the issue required a new controller. you havent had things get to that stage yet.ie,pas cutting out under load,solved by removing throttle.motor dying for periods of...

    Newbie to the forum

    As mentioned these kits r easy to fit.I made up both bbs01 and bbshd mountain bikes in a day.Its all obvious but u will need to get a few tools,cheap if shop around.These will be for removing the BB and tightening the lock rings.A shop may charge as much as the kit? Correct me on that...

    Bafang bbs01b how waterproof is it..

    Open the throttle casing and seal the wires with hot glue or silicone.Then u can keep the throttle through rain .I found the bbs01b totally safe in the wettest conditions.Just the throttle will cause probs and even damage to the controller ( as i learned hard way )if not sealed.
