I've got to say it. I'm so sorry. A repair kit for the motors you fit.

I can't remember anybody ever thiniing it was agood idea to give away a repair kit for a hub-motor? That would be about as useful as solar powered night vision goggles.

I was hoping to be able to blag some free stuff, but I think we have to leave that one for our friend Saracen, who might need it soon.

Maybe next time give away a plastic red dragon, a few key rings or pens with red dragons and your phone number printed on them.

"One-Half the Money I Spend for Advertising Is Wasted, But I Have Never Been Able To Decide Which Half"





What are you going to do with these second hand motors anyway? They'll continue making your warehouse untidy, occupying valuable space. The only people who would pay £210 + Paypal fees for your second hand motors, are the rapidly diminishing number who don't know how to use the internet. There are several of us Bafang mid-drive owners on this website, and if your offer was more sensible for your (tax write off?) second hand motors, I daresay they and other Bafang owners who visit this website never creating an account, would be interested in buying one or more of your second hand motors, to keep for spares, if not for more conversions. If you're here to sell: Sell. Your second hand motors are only worth what people are willing to pay.

To be honest your the First to ever Ask for a Grade B
They are Not in stock just something I Can Aquire
At this moment in time I have the Grade A BBSHD in stock as an option
All my other motors are New!

My controller from Greenbikekit.com in China - ordered 20/12/21 - was and is working great, but they did send me the wrong rubber gasket... then sent me the right one when I pointed that out. They were cheaper than anywhere in the UK.

but like woosh there bikes are not cheap for what they are but the warranty and uk parts and warranty cost money with labour costs and transaction charges plus postage it all adds up.

never paid any postage for anything from china because to send it back is no option at all and the sellers know it.

plenty of ppl have got batts ect for a bargain price then found out they bought a bomb :p

For my BBS01B controller, I paid £73.64 delivered. Beat that UK. Unless they're trading on AliExpress, they fear Paypal...

Firmware is writable. No issues whatsoever. Functioning perfectly for over two years.

It's pretty easy to get a brand new BBS01 kit (48v or 36v 250w) for about £240 (everything minus the display) shipped from the UK with warranty.


Just wait for the regular alixepress discount codes (the last one I got last month was $50 off a $300+ spend)

Pay in dollars with a fee free credit card (linked to paypal) to save an extra couple of quid

And go through topcashback.co.uk for about 5% cashback

I can vouch for the above seller, got my last BBS01 kit through them no issues, still boxed up new ready to be used as a spare if needed

it would cost 315 quid to get peter to rebuild my motor and a 90 percent chance scott could recell my batt for 500 quid, Germany will not send me a 3rd party one from ebike vision and bet it has a bosch reworked bms anyway.

the new smart batts will not work with older motors so rip out the motor controller display bms and replace it and set it to 60a.

BTW I really don't want to be informed about what Olivia is looking at.
