    Trike conversion to electric

    I agree with @flecc that the only solution seems to be a rear-hub. On a cargo-bike like that I would suggest a powerful motor like Heinzmann or BPM-CST or Bionx-D Frank

    Damaged Bafang Fun8 does this sound like your motor?

    Hello Gurnard, I agree with you that the failure is made in the first place at BMS with the stupid packing but the question is how to deal with it now because I don´t belief they will send you a new Motor. I just told you how I´ve dealt once with a similar problem. Even you complain about them...

    Damaged Bafang Fun8 does this sound like your motor?

    Hello Gurnard, I guess that bend back is the only choise you have because I dont belief that BMS take the motor back and if they doe so it will take a long time and you must spend again money to send back the package (40-50GBP shipping-fee) and then waiting 4-5weeks waiting before it arrive in...

    Bafang hydraulic sensor

    I don´t think it is necessary but I would not go for magnets melted to the Brakelever and so on, I would use a ready set like this one for bbs Motors

    Fat Bike Kit

    Hi tezdread, on my Motorset you don´t need to make thread´s to the motor, I was considering this way how Doug made it but I come to the conclusion "to complicated". That´s the reason why I chose the way with welding, nobody need a expencive tool (thread-cutter) for only one time using. So I...
