This question might need its own thread, but next question for me...is mount battery over or under frame? I believe both options are possible on my bike, but still waiting for battery to arrive, and check battery to motor clearance on the undermount option. over frame - Seems like gravity is...

depending on clearance between the battery mounting plate and the frame, I am considering using some VHB double sided acrylic tape. The load will be carried by the water bottle bolts of course, but thinking the double sided tape would help protect the paint on the frame, and help stabilize, side...

Great tip on overnighting the zip ties, thanks. Do you use the rubber bumpers on the down tube under the battery? Or under the harness, to protect the frame and hardness>??

What are you guys doing for cable management? - zip ties as neatly as possible? - wrap with silicon self fusing tape? - stow in stem bag? Maybe should ask this in the Bafang section....but does the BBSHD have to be greased upon arrival? (understand the older motors needed additional and...

Thank you Thomas, really appreciate your expertise! If the Hozan lockring tool is working for you, and no stabilizer bracket required (after tightening with that and blue Loctite) that seems like the way to go. As a bonus, the Hozan tool looks like it could be used for the other BB applications.

Good info, thx! I have existing water bottle screws on the bottom of the frame...wonder is this would reach?

I like the turnbuckle too! I got my horse in front of the cart.....I have a full suspension bike, so can't consider the torque arm anyways :cool:

Thanks for the info guys !! Thomas - After posting, I found a thread online stating the primary Bafang BB nut should be torqued to 60 to 90 ft lbs. (?) From what I'm reading that will be difficulty with the Bafang wrench that comes with my kit. Found a slightly lower priced socket here -...

for those of us old enough to remember....

I'm still a noob so might be mistaken, but the Giant-Yamaha's are Class II and don't have a throttle, is that correct? So here's kind of a trick question...if you had the option for throttle only power over 20 mph, is that an option you would want on your rides? ...and on a long (or lazy) day...

Great info Browneye, thanks for sharing. We have similar background, except is sounds like I had to give up my dirt bikes a little earlier in life. So given your history I'm curious exactly which ebike (specs and motor) you ended up...that satisfied your expectations? i.e. with no ebike...

Thanks for the tip...I will try moving it there.

I'm doing my my first ebike build, using (2) old school Jamis MTB's and the Bafang BBSHD kit. I've watched a bunch of videos and googled a bit, hoping to get some final advice before I start. - I already have high quality conventional hand tools, but NO bike tools. Looks like Luna has the...

This bike is marketed in the US by a couple of different companies...maybe someone can help me remember the names. (one company name starts with a W ?) https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/EU-Quality-LANKELEISI-26x4-0-inch_62270988637.html
