    BBSHD for Specialized crosstrail sport disc

    Thanks ford. Yes I think if the bbs02 is now sorted it would be more than enough for me. I will probably have to buy the kit first and battery later as its a bit much for me all together. Is the chain line issue only something you can test once you've fitted the kit?

    BBSHD for Specialized crosstrail sport disc

    Decisions! Is the link on the eclipse website for the version 2? Will there be a significant difference between hd and v2?

    BBSHD for Specialized crosstrail sport disc

    That's great, thanks Ford. I'm a newbie with both bikes and the electric side of things. I did have a tesco hopper a couple of years ago but that was just to mess around with. Luckily I have a brother who has built a few bikes and knows a lot so he would be fitting it. I guess I need to do some...

    BBSHD for Specialized crosstrail sport disc

    Cool, thanks for the replies guys. The bbs02 option looks good and quite a bit cheaper. Yes you're right ford, it's a big risk if something goes wrong. So those 3 things you suggested would be all I need apart from possibly a custom chainring. Can you get these from the same place? Sorry for you...

    Thanks for that peerjay and also Dave and Mike for your advice. I've taken the plunge and bought the 36v battery and KU65 controller from BMS battery. I'll try it with just the battery replacement and see how it goes.

    More powerful battery for Hopper Shopper

    Thanks for the info Mike, you've both convinced me that it's a good idea! I will look into that soldering mod. Just one last thing, Dave mentioned in his post about losing controllers control and relying on LVC in the battery. Not sure what this means, do I lose my 3 speed settings if I use the...

    More powerful battery for Hopper Shopper

    Thanks for the update guys, I read through that thread, really interesting and great to see a cheap bike being transformed into a monster! Ok say I took the plunge and bought the 36v battery and KU65 controller, how difficult would it be to fit? (Bearing in mind I've never touched a soldering...

    More powerful battery for Hopper Shopper

    Thanks for the replies guys. If it won't make much difference then I'll leave it. I wouldn't know where to start with modding the controller and I don't want to break it!

    More powerful battery for Hopper Shopper

    Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forum. I've just myself a cheap Tesco Hopper shopper as a runabout. I really like it but I'd like a little more torque and performance on hills. I read on this link (for Viking eco stepper, same bike)...
