Thank you. I definitely don't have space on a 73 mm bottom bracket to move the motor any further to the right. I just am trying to figure out if I am risking my safety at all by doing some spacing.

I am installing my Bafang Mid-Drive Kit on my Trek Marlin 5, and it's going ok enough so far. One issue is that the chain ring is way too close to my frame for comfort. I really wanted the larger 52T ring for torque. The question is...should I order a new smaller chain ring, or would it be...

They certainly appear to be identical. Weird. The little bit of documentation had a pack list that said "speed sensor kits" - plural.

My Bafang BBS02 has arrived and the battery will be here later this week, as will some tools I still need I've started the conversion though. I've watched several videos about the installation and it all makes sense. I received two identical sets of speed sensors with my kit and I can't...

Thank you.

Jeannette at California Ebikes said their 500w motors they sell are just 750w motors programmed down to 500w, and I did some googling and discovered that that seems to be the case everywhere. I could be wrong, but that's what it seemed.

Thank you, yeah, I learned today that all BBS02's are the same exact unit, and you can program the Wattage. So that' not just your opinion, that's how it works! I think I am going to get the programming cable, which is only $15, and tweak ALL of the settings to my own needs. You can even...

Good to hear! I've cancelled my Amazon order and will look at California EBike. The woman answering my questions on email is great so far. I already learned from her that I can basically program a 750w motor to only out out 500w if I want, so that's awesome.

Thank you. I wouldn't say that money is an issue, but I just really don't think I need a 750w motor, and I don't want to spend money for no reason. As for the Amazon thing, yeah, I was panicked that there were no other places to find them. I will see about cancelling if I can find one somewhere...

Wow, that's not good! Ok I emailed Jeannette and will consider purchasing from your company if I can cancel the Amazon order and if I feel like it makes sense for me to. Thank you for the info.

Bafang USA Direct. Is that not an affiliate?

I agree with what I want in the motor. In terms of buying direct from China, it seemed to be my only choice. I hope it all goes well and that if I have any problems that Amazon will stand behind it. We shall see! I had a panic attack the other night that I wouldn't be able to find a 500w motor...

Thank you, I'll check that out. I have a lot of reasons not to want over 500w, from money, to legality issues, to weight, to my own safety.

Thanks! Looks like things I can get at Home Depot if I need to.

Hi everyone - I placed an order on Amazon.com for a 500W Bafang Mid-Drive Kit and it is estimated to arrive anywhere between 3 and 7 weeks from now. I am pretty sure it's coming directly from China. I know Bafang doesn't even have these available on their own site right now, and I confirmed by...

Haha I'd be disappointed anyway if it was that easy. I want to feel like I accomplished something.

Thank you, very helpful! I do plan to take my time, enjoy the process, and learn things. I will am going to have my computer at eye level near my bike repair stand too, so I can watch videos about what I am doing. :) I appreciate you taking the time to write all of this advice. Have a great day!

Haha. Yeah I figured I could return it if I had to. T Haha yeah. I figured I can return it if I have to. But I am pretty sure it's everything I need.

I just had a mild panic attack regarding making sure I buy a conversation kit before they possibly go out of stock. I ordered this one: https://www.amazon.com/BAFANG-Conversion-Display-Electric-Battery/dp/B089MD3SDW I also ordered a brake sensor and gear sensor. I think this is everything I...

Cool, good to know about the bottom bracket size. I bit the bullet and ordered a Park Tools workstand today.
