Change bikes

Has anyone converted any of the change bike folding bikes?

Exhuming this thread.
Just attempting this atm on two Change Bike DF-812 folding hard tail mtbs.
Dillinger Off Road kit 500w Rear Hub with 9 speed freewheel, fitting two torque arms, drive side PAS, no throttle
The downtube battery cradle (without battery in it) stops the bike fully folding so going to have to use a rear rack mount. Everything else is fine, apart from the faff of fitting a RHS PAS sensor on the Hollowtech crank & BB.

How are you going to fit a rack? You can put thr PAS on the left side, which is dead easy.

PAS cant go on left, as the bike has Shimano Hollowtech cranks and BB, so magnet ring has to go on the small chainwheel.

Rack mounts to seat post (actually to the tube below the seat post and there are mounting holes for the stays. The rack mounting is shown in accessories on the Change Bike website.

Now thinking of modifying the battery cradle so it’s easily removed for folding but secured when in use. That will allow the preferred downtube mount position.

I have hollowtech cranks on all my electric bikes. How come I have left hand PAS on all of them then. Am I suffering from some sort of delusions?

Depending on the gap the mag ring could be epoxied tot he crank on the LHS.

Enlighten me as to method?

Se my post #2:

How to fit a PAS without disassembling the BB?

I have seen the BB of my Rockrider 8.1 says: "Do not disassemble" Is there a way to add a PAS without having to disassemble the BB at all? I have been searching the forum, and I see threads discussing this issue, saying it is very easy doing it with "sugru", and even there are some pictures...

Thanks. Involves the same process of removing the cranks and BB shell as needed for a RHS mag ring

So here it is the completed conversion using a Dillinger Off Road Kit. No throttle just PAS so that it can pass as road legal . The PAS is mounted on the RHS on small chain ring, magnets will hold it but there is a dab of epoxy to keep it in place. A bit of dremmel modification of the mag ring needed to endure no interference. Brake sensors are epoxied to existing levers.

The battery cradle is modified so it can be easily released from the bottle cage mounts to allow the bike to fold without fouling the integrated controller .
