BBS01 grease

[vfr400]

I am in Surrey, not too far......

As a newbie with a Bafang BBS01B on a Giant Roam hybrid bike, I would be interested in more info as to exactly where (and how) you grease? Already knocking 150 miles and only fitted a week ago, so 1,200 miles will soon be achieved!

Unless it's changed, Bafang life cycle test is 30,000 miles, though that's under lab conditions. 1200 is a bit on the low side. I think a normal one would last a lot longer, so no need to panic, but a decent greasing wouldn't do any harm.

Don't fill it with grease, like in the video. Not only will that make your motor very heavy, but it will cause a lot of viscous drag, which will probably do more harm than good, and it'll cut down your range.

Just a heads-up that the huge tins are back on ebay. Just received my lifetime supply.
3kg aeroshell 22

Are you guys packing in that much grease. How does that behave long term? In some applications I understand that packing too much grease can cause overheating?

Just checked ebay, bought the last tin of aeroshell 22 - according to the ad.
