5.75 per km is around 9 per mile . With the bbs01 350w Im doing around 23 wh/ mile ,no wonder.Thats de restricted speed ,mostly max assist,an hilly round here too.The bbshd is doing nearly 40wh /mile again on max mostly.I just feel when ive tried low pas settings ,i might just as well have a...

Ive no idea about cadence ,to be honest i feel like im only really ghost peddling most of the time ,except on hills. Ive only hit those 30 + speeds on flattish roads out of intrest to see what its capable of. Rural cornish roads, where theres hardly anyone about. Usually i keep to 25 - 28 mph...

Bbshd without question.Worth the extra cost.Paired with a 30q 52v battery as others have said.You will be blown away,or rather dragged along hanging onto the handlebars for dear life.Ive got one on a 26"mtb ,with a 15ah 52v .The 30q will not be pushed running 25 - 30 amps continous, the popular...

Had same sitch with my giant sedona,bbs01 350w kit.No way to avoid it. chuck your brake /gear combies in your spares that will never get used box.An fit a simple shimano thumb shifter.

Yeah i was concerned about it ruining the handling to be honest.Ive already got a 17.4ah battery mounted on the frame .Want longer range so not much choice ,Picked up a 13ah pannier batt cheap. Will take a gander at bms ,thanks

Hi .Just got one of these for my giant sedona . To add additional range to the bottle mount batt. Been looking on ebay etc.But searches just find regular non battery ones or battery racks with batteries intergrated. Am i looking in the wrong place or will a regular rack do? Thanks if anyone can...

The 8 months ive been running my 350w bbs 29E 6p battery at 15 -18 amps.To fully discharged most rides too,has probably reduced its capacity. The case is prob worse on the 5p LG battery for the missus bike which only has a throttle and pulls 19amps alot. Ive only just learned that u cant trust...

Im going to def parallel them then. When im running full 18amps a lot i see im working them too hard. 6p and 5p 29E im getting only 15amp & 12.5amp continous.11p will be 27amp cont. Far less strain. Same principle when i picked a 30q battery for my bbshd rather than the Ga cells .Which would...

Thanks everyone for the info.Well it looks simple to do.It bothers me the having to ensure both are equally charged.Im very lackadasical .Has anyone found just unplugging the 1st batt when exhausted and plugging in the second easier. Esp if say ones 100% charged and the others 75 %

Cheers chris .So id need some kind of splitter connectors attached to the controller wires then .Have to see whats about.

Hi ive got a bottle mounted battery on my bbs01 and am adding a second pannier one for long range.Can anyone tell me how i connect both sets of battery wires permanently ,without accidently blowing up my controller with 72v or something.Just want 40ah of 36v without having to unplug one when its...

Ill try upload some pics my phones a bit ancient tho ,an ps4 browser cant upload on. The bobtail has discs and seems to handle braking well.

Kit delivered fri ,fitted sat ,still in state of uphoria mon. This things unbelievable,i hit 37mph a couple times on the flat at fairly fresh batt. Seems effortless to maintain 24-26mph ,even on pas 3, about 13amps it seemed to manage that. my bbs01 350w at full 18amp feels way,way,way less...

Bbshd kit with 52v battery .You will thank yourself the first time you take it out and will never want another bike again.

Ah you live in cornwall too amiga...

I agree,totally pointless.I was just looking at ebike articles on the net.Had Ccme across a newspaper article saying the first speed pedelecs had just been approved for the uk earlier this year. Although my bikes are derestricted and bigger motors,i dont need the nanny state telling me how to...

I was just making an observation, wondering if a class of ebike needing a numberplate ,insurance etc might make plod more ebike aware.I know its unlikely , but only takes a few seconds to read 1000w printed on the motor and a basic knowledge of a 250w limit .

Electron bikes put hydraulic brake lever sensors in with their bbshd kits. £ 1025 with a 52v 17.5ah Ga cells or 15ah 30q cells.U get the dpc14 colour Lcd an gear sensor in there too.

Yes i meant most who post on the forum, not ebikers generally. Thats a bit of a jump scotland, a 250w must be a bit pushed up there i bet.

A couple of things ive noticed since joining this forum. One ,most derestrict their bikes speed. And two most seem to own ,or are building bikes with way bigger motors than 250w. Ahem,for use only on private land of course. But ive seen now the UK has just accepted type approved speed...
