    PSWPOWER - DO NOT USE THEM

    I was out today on the newly converted bike, sort of a proof of concept come test ride, initial impressions are generally good.

    PSWPOWER - DO NOT USE THEM

    My parcels have arrived from PSW, I've not opened them yet but they seem undamaged. They were delivered to a neighbour due to me being at work but the courier never left a notice, if my neighbour wasn't so honest I wouldn't have a clue they had been delivered.

    If only there was some sort of aid available whereby you could use your thumb to proportionally supply the motor with the required voltage.

    It can't be that hard. They sell off the shelf adapters, if I can't find the size I need then I do have a drill and an angle grinder...

    It's not something I do all the time but I have been known to just flick through from 1 to 3 whilst using full throttle. Possibly the chain was stretched rather than actually twisted, could of happened whilst finding out it won't change from 3 to 2, or 2 to 1 whilst under load!

    I fitted the hub end of March this year or around 600 miles ago and so far it's all good. I do use all of the power some of the time and occasionally will put the motor on full power in gear one and power up and over bridges or hills etc. I did notice that the indicator chain has become twisted...

    BBS01 @ 36 volts is only around 60 - 80 Newtons so I should be ok, hopefully.

    Chicken. I did look into putting disks on it, the front looked easy enough to do but in the end I decided to buy a whole new bike...

    The old bike is fine and continues to serve me well, in fact I have it listed for sale here... https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/giant-hybrid-with-bafang-middrive.47407/ When I got it back in September 2022 (4500 miles ago) I hadn't been on a bike for over 30 years so I wanted something...

    I went for Bafang rather than Tongsheng as I didn't like the idea of having to pedal harder to get more power, also research at the time led me to the conclusion that Bafang were stronger and more reliable.

    £415 for a motor but they don't appear to do rear rack batteries.

    Hmmm, cheers for that, £375 with dpc-18 display. No battery though. Also it says delivery by next week, do you think their stock is in the UK? PSW have a motor for £286.70 sent from Germany so presumably import tax to pay too. I'd prefer to get the motor and battery in one order, preferably...

    I guess I'm quite an unusual person! I use my bike every day for commuting, shopping, etc., I know that a middrive is not considered best choice for this type of work but again, that's me... Having a rear rack and panniers means I have somewhere to carry the stuff I need. Having the battery...

The Bafang kit I have now was purchased from Custom Built Ebikes in Exeter but they are no longer in business, I chose them even though they weren't the cheapest, my current kit was £1,000. Has anyone got...

    Shortening Your Shimano Hydraulic Brake Hoses

    Interesting post, thank you. I could do with extending the hoses on my new bike as they are a bit tight due to fitting a riser stem and different handlebars. I was also looking at the brake levers that come with motor cut off sensors but need to know how many wires a Bafang bbs01 has before I...
