    Bafang Rear Hub Motor Questions

    Last one on this, so how much does it matter with the shunt mod if I'm a bit messy with the soldering... Basically I didn't go more than 2/3 up the leg, but it was thicker then just a bit of tinning.... Definitely blobby

    Thanks Wheelie Pete. So have just done the shunt mod! I went about 2/3 up one of the legs of the shunt (only 1). So about 20-25% of total length I reckon...immediate improvement noticeable on hills, and pick up is much better. Thanks for all the help here - lets hope I haven't overcooked it

    It doesn't feel like the same power on all levels at low speeds - if I bump up through the PAS, it pulls harder from take off, rather than it being just as powerful in PAS1 as PAS5 at low speeds.... Maybe I'm just being a newbie on this though....

    Bafang Rear Hub Motor Questions

    Righto, thanks for that. have been slowly trawling through it now....presumably it only reduces range when its being worked 'hard' i.e. PAS5 when I try to push it trying to get up hills. Otherwise, on the flat, I'll be able to lower the PAS level for the same drive as before the mod and...

    Thanks NealH.... I have no idea about how the controller achieves this, but will try your suggestion of PAS1 or 2 on hills, not sure I quite understand why this might be (!) but happy to give it a go!

    I have a 2014 Batribike granite pro with a 250w rear hub motor (see photo)- can anybody tell me is this likely to be a geared motor or gearless? Can't see a model number.... I'm also wondering if the motor is up to full strength - it struggles on steep hills on maximum assist - is this normal...
