I recently fitted a brake some hydraulic brake cut off's with Sugru, it's very versatile stuff and perfect for something like this.

It is about time the gearbox was integrated with the motor. Current e-bikes remind me of vintage motorcycles when they had separate engines and gearboxes....imho

I made an error in my previous post, the second part should read "Next I put the keep current down to 50% and the "rev limit" for levels 1-5 to 80% and this feels really really good." I am not trying to change the max rev limit of the motor, just trying to not be limited or restricted to lower...

I an also exploring programming my BBS01 because in level 5 and below I kept on running into the motor "speed limit" (I really think it should be called a "rev limit") First I tried upping the keep current to 100% but this just seemed to add power everywhere and the rev limit cut off was still...

I use Schwalbe Land Cruiser's on a full suspension converted emtb as I ride on both road and tracks, they are good enough off road and great on road and come in a range widths.

Thanks Peter, that looks very tidy.

The only potential issue is the 73mm width of the bottom bracket, the second locknut only just engages so it needed loctite. I'm not sure if this is good practice being newish to this, but I also put some blue loctite (semi permanent) inside the bottom bracket to take up the small amount of...

That looks very interesting, I see you have reversed the shock...neat. I almost bought a large size but was concerned about the stand over height. Have you a better photo showing the battery in the frame please?

It's a Bafang 250w with a 17Ahr battery and a 42t Precialps chainring, it helps with gearing and chain alignment. I have thought of a triangle battery but so far the underslung mount has been fine. Range wise it varies a lot depending on terrain but 60-70 miles is very very easy with mixed...

I did my Zobop about 18 mths ago and it has been great. Depending what size frame battery you have (mine is a medium) you may have to mount the battery under the down tube, there is a theoretical clash of wheel and battery dependant on fork pressure but in 1000 miles of on and off road there...

Good news. A lead from another supplier arrived today and it all worked first time :):) This was the lead ebay 282891248569 for anyone interested. Have now read, saved and made one small change to the keep current(and checked it was saved on the controller) so now just have to decide what to...

I often look at these types of things as a journey......and I think I've only taken just a few steps so far, but it is always good to learn new stuff.

Yes totally agree Nealh, however I do enjoy twiddling the spanners and it has been very enjoyable building the Ebike which has been faultless for over 1000 miles....so far...but it is the electronic twiddling that is the problem for me. Also I still find it hard to justify the prices being...

I was not aware of having to load drivers first and then plug in, my lead came with no instructions and I don't recall seeing it anywhere but it does make sense now. Maybe there should be a "Sticky" somewhere on the forum to help people in the future ?? Another forum member has also helped via...

I was hoping all this was going to be plug and play.....and I'm don't really knowing what I'm doing so will wait for my lead supplier who is going to send another lead with a "custom chip" so fingers crossed for that. Many thanks for the help.

OK, just found it in device manager as suggested and there is an exclamation mark on it, did the right click and update driver but it was unable to do this. I did not receive any drivers with the lead

I'm fairly new to ebikes so please bare with me. I converted a Voodoo full sus mtb a while ago with 250w BBs01 kit and it has been great, but I would like to change some of the parameters re cadence etc so bought a lead from ebay. However, the laptop will not see a com port in the software...

Hi everyone from West Wales, UK. Having found this site a while ago I built a full suspension emtb with a BBS01 250w motor after seeing inspiration on here. Wales is rarely flat but we have lots of bridleways and single track lanes nearby so the bike is used both on and off road, it has been a...
