Hi all
i would like to write a review of the above motor as it seems no one has done one. the motor is the extra torque model from Brighton bikes. it has a 25a controller instead of the 15a one usually fitted on the BBS01b. current setup is:-
24a max current
70% Keep current
1-9 pedal assist with no speed restrictions in each mode with increments of 10% each mode up to 100%
36v 15a dolphin battery from Eclipses.
first of all i had to solder some XT60 connectors on as the original connectors did not match. took me around 2 hours to fully install the motor and battery. i have currently done just under 1000 miles so far with no issues so far. the motor is extremely quite still after 1000 miles, so i might delay re-greasing the gears for another 500 miles depending on if the motor get nosier. Darren did say he greases the gear before he sends out the motor.
Motor is fitted to a crossfire 2 hybrid bike. daily commute is 6 miles each way. i usually keep PAS on 4 on my commute sometimes going up to 5 when needed. battery last 30 miles before it is fully drained. average speed for the motor on this setting is 20-21 mph which is easily achieved, with a fully charged battery this give around 400w output power on the meter reading. top speed on setting 9 i have achieved 30mph with around 750w reading from the meter, i did see 840w at one point. i think my gearing restricts me to 30mph, which is by far enough for a bike.
Having looked into which bafang kits i should buy for a long time i settled for the legal version with 25a controller fitted., going on what i have experienced this street legal motor is by far enough for what many would need. hope this helps anyone who is thinking of buying an ebike kit
