Just because i can build? but does that mean i should not enjoy it before the wife makes me sell it

After a few years of self building and after a loss of faith in the tsdz2 motors ,that only left one option .
Ordered a bbs hd for my latest fatbike went for a ride out on the farm today
Not built for speed will lower the overall gearing with a 42 on the front and only a 48v battery
The bluto rockshox are a great addition but have raised the stand over height, glad i could only get a 17.5 frame and not the 21 originally wanted its like a dumper truck

I like it!
How do you find the BBSHD

 

[peter.c]

To be honest only done 20 odd miles ,and could only find a hd motor with a 100mm bbb
First impressions are its heavy compared to a bbs02 750watt and the larger battery is also adding weight .But if you want to thrash it all day the hd appears bullet proof ,
The 750watt in my fs bike has been on the laptop and pushes 1300 watts plus but only in short bursts
the hd can provide more power for a longer period .
But its hard to compare a fat bike to this which is lighter and much faster even over the same route

Sounds good. I am waiting delivery on a BBSHD. Tried a couple of BBSO2/500w's and then 750w.
All have been very good.
More recently the TSDZ2/750w. Which quite frankly was bit of a disappointment, too many issues out of the box.
Looking forward to the HD. Out of curiosity, what Ah is your 48v battery?

Both are 17ah but ones 4p and the other 5p from psw power German whse the hd is current hungry
