    Better HALL sensor connectors

    I'm familiar with Bafang as it was my first conversion ( and the bike I ride most often), but since then I have been doing ebike conversions for friends and not everyone wants to spend the $ on Bafang so I've been trying some of the lower cost Chinese front and rear hubs to see how they work...

    Better HALL sensor connectors

    i have put together 4 different ebikes now and i find that with the Chinese hub motor kits that one of the weakest links in the system is the connectors they provide for the 5 or 6 HALL wires. The wires are small and the connectors don't really stay snug in their plastic connectors. It just...

    Controller upgrades

    thanks, I will. i think i can figure out most of the wiring, but thinking about going from the 5 wire hand throttle to a separate LCD and thumb throttle has me a bit challenged. I don't want to blow the controller out! have you done this your self?

    Bafang display 860c Good for 750 watt bafang hub motor ?

    it really is an excellent LCD. it keeps track of your total mileage, and you can reset the trip mileage by pressing the + and - at the same time, took me awhile to find that out. check out youtube for instruction videos. i would also highly recommend you program a password, that way your bike...

    Advice on DIY Electric Front Wheel Hub for Adult Tricycle

    Hi, one recommendation for you is to consider the right controller package for the Voilamart hub. I personally prefer the controller that supports an LCD that provides the PAS (power assist levels) and a thumb throttle, vs. the cheaper package that only offers a hand throttle with a small screen...

    Bafang display 860c Good for 750 watt bafang hub motor ?

    I'm almost you can, I've seen the 860c offered with the Bafang 500 rear hub motor, so assume it's also good for 750w. BTW, i have used the 860C for 8 months with my mid-drive Bafang bike and really like it. The initial challenge is finding the instructions on how to fully program it, but once...

    Controller upgrades

    I have a couple of controllers for 48v and a 36v motors that support a basic hand throttle, I'm looking to change to controllers that support an LCD with various PAS levels and a thumb throttle. Curious if anyone in Nor Cal has already done this and could share some learnings. I've watched...

    iMotor 3.0 LCD/throttle options

    I recently installed an iMotor3.0 on my wife's bike. We were going to use the iMotor phone app to connect with the ebike motor but the app requires you to give iMotor access to all your files otherwise it won't work, so we decided against using that. I have since been trying to find a wired...

    New Member from East Bay in Northern California

    Hi, I'm a retired 70 year old male that decided last year to give my old 1987 Specialized Hard Rock a new life. With the help of a good friend I installed a 48v, 750W Bafang mid-drive on my bike and have had a blast on it since, clocking over 700 miles on it so far. I joined a local bike riding...
