I've only had this one two months. Bit too soon to throw it out! I am still curious as to how changing the rotor/stator made such a difference to @Deere John and his BBS01B. What makes a BBS01B not a BBS02B? i.e. Does the 500W come from the rotor/stator or the controller, or both? What would a...

I think I set throttle to Current. As I said though, I probably did something wrong. There was literally nothing from the throttle when walking with the bike. So I'll try again soon to look at the settings again. Cheers @guerney.

So, a week late, but I've tried your settings @guerney and tested them over my first extended ride (28 miles). I probably did something wrong! The PAS 0 assist setting I used to assign to the throttle was 100% current/24% speed. But neither the PAS 0 setting (pedalling) or the throttle did...

Is this the handlebar display you have @shirty3836? Shown in this YT vid @ 2:15. I assume you meant "Fallowgate wiring" being proprietary wiring connectors made by the now dissolved company 'Fallowgate', as mentioned in the linked website. The YT vid doesn't really show any of the wiring, so...

Why is this?

Cheers @guerney. I'll have a go at trying your method later today. :)

The 500C controller does have the option to 'Walk' the bike at 6 kph by holding in the "-" button on the display. But it requires quite a hard and continuous press on the button to keep it working. My old and arthritic thumb can't maintain the pressure needed! So it's pretty annoying that I know...

I think I am going to go down the re-programming route this weekend. Hopefully that will help with the problems I'm experiencing. I did some tweaks when I first installed the motor, but having ridden for a month, there is definitely room for improvement. And I'll screenshot this time so I know...

Sram 7 speed cassettes are still available in the UK. They won't have the same choice of quality that their 10/11/12 speed cassettes have, but I always had good experiences with them in the past. This one is 12-32...

I am going off the published specs for the Bafang BBS series, as posted by Deere John:

Hi @guerney That would be a cheap solution. But I also ride an 'acoustic' carbon road bike, so the 'twiddle' is somewhat ingrained in me too. The gearing is slanted to high torque/low(ish) speed, with a 42 chainring and 11-34 9-speed cassette. I used to ride this bike a few years ago for...

Well, I have searched the net for any advice and everything I find is slanted towards either: Getting a BBS02B instead. Adding more volts (as @saneagle recommended). Using a 36v stator/rotor kit (also as @saneagle recommended). Or turning the BBS01B effectively into a BBS02B with both a...

Hi @saneagle. I am not trying to explain anything. I am referencing & quoting @Deere John, and asking questions to help my understanding. Have you read the whole thread I linked in my first post? I have just re-read the thread again, and he says he has done exactly as I quoted above. I will...

Well that's why I'm asking. I only have the one instance of @Deere John doing the stator/rotor only upgrade, and he's not been seen since April. He did the upgrade on a BBS01B 250W 36v system with a BBS02B 500W 36v stator/rotor kit. He didn't change the controller (so amps still fixed at 15A)...

Thanks @Raboa. That does seem like a better deal, especially with the seals and gasket included. I'm in no real hurry, so shipping from the US is no problem.

I have the BBS01B 48v 250W mid drive installed on my road tourer and now am experiencing the same 'cadence wall' noticed by @Deere John in the thread linked below. Assist tapers and cuts out at a cadence of 83 rpm according to the Bafang specs for the 48v model. At my natural cadence I bounce in...

Dodge it IMHO. Any fork with a corrugated rubber protector is a POS. Putting the protector on there admits that the stanchion seals are crap and need help. But the protector doesn't actually help: it just retains all the dirt and ingress you pick up on the trail. Pot-metal, pressed tin rubbish...

Can you post a pic of your Genius so I can get a handle on what you did. I've only really looked into mid-drives so far, and that is plainly not possible with my Genius. Plus, I've only EVER ridden a bike that drives from the rear wheel. How does front drive feel (well, 2WD really, when you're...

I think the reason the MTB world started adopting bigger diameter wheels was to cut back on the suspension needed for a smooth(ish) ride off-road. The smaller the diameter, the lower the wheel dips into ruts and gaps, making a jounce-ier ride. Bigger diameters roll across the tops of the rough...

That's one of the bikes in my cellar! Unfortunately I built it up from an LTD CARBON frame, so no go as a future donor. The BB is too fat, and the torque required would probably crush a carbon BB anyhow. Those rear 'pull' shocks are now obsolete too, and cost loads to service. 26" is the way to...
