Well i ordered a Thudbuster ST 27.2 for my BionX equipped road bike and tried it out today on a short 15 mile trip to a local bike store. the roads here are in pretty bad shape and having a rigid bike with 7ooc tires at 90psi offers no give. Very nice, it took away the sharp jabs to the back and...

That's the final product, it fits in the bed of my Nissan Frontier, I was going to weld some tabs so it could be fastened to the Nissan rail system but decided they were not needed. It is quite light and makes a great bike stand in the garage as well. I will just use a couple of my ratchet...

I researched this a lot when planning to install the BBSHD 1000 on my KHS 500. Take a look at EMPowered Cycles. They sell a PF41 adapter for the motor, the price I saw was $74.95. There may be others who make an adapter as well. One important consideration is the chainstay clearance on the...

On my Friday and Saturday off this week I decided to make a simple stand for transporting my fat bike in the back of my truck. So a 55" length of 3/4" square tubing laid across the floor of the truck at the cab end, with a cradle with an inside diameter wide enough to fit the 4" wide Big Daddy...

The bike shops here in Winnipeg are almost all selling fat bikes now. There is even a small winter race series for them, human powered only. I have seen a couple e fat bikes in the stores but other than the one I recently converted to Bafang mid drive , none on the street so far. But there is...

On my fatbike the BBSHD1000 watt mid drive has a plug coming out of the motor for I believe a 5 volt light. I just have not found a suitable candidate yet.

Proud owner of now 2 e-bikes, one for the road and commuting to work an EVO HB1 disc with the BionX 500 rear hub motor, it has about 1,600 km's on it and has been trouble free. And my fat bike I just put together with a Bafang BBSHD mid drive which is going to be my weekend fun/dirt bike. I...

All the information I have read indicates a 1000 watt front hub is potentially dangerous and should only be considered if using a cro-moly (steel) rigid front fork. The forces generated by that much power could cause a suspension fork to break. Even with a 500 watt front hub they recommend...

I agree with Over 50. I always wear my helmet, in fact i just recently replaced my old one with a new version using the MIPS system. And often use a reflective vest. As for lights front and back well I dont leave home without the red rear light set to flash, day or night. Bicycling is great and...

This picture shows the speed sensor mounted to the chainstay and on the far side is the gear sensor which works great, allows nice smooth shifts by cutting the motor briefly when changing gears. Before I reached this location I was riding along a river on a foot path that was about 2 feet wide...

First real ride to the Museum of Human Rights at the Forks in Winnipeg

It,s alive. The problem was a bad connection in what I believe is called an Anderson connector. Roshan is sending me a new battery cradle but looking through the shipping box, noticed their was another set of power wires included so I cut the original leads off the battery cradle and soldered on...

The KMC ebike rated chain came in and was installed, the chain line is just about perfect, by having a couple different thickness of shims available it was possible to install the motor with a couple millimeters clearance between the motor and the chainstay. A smaller 42 tooth sprocket was...

Well a couple updates while it's still fresh in my mind. It seemed like a good idea to include a gear sensor. You remove about an 1 1/2" from the rear derailleur cable sheath after removing the inner cable. The gear sensor is then spliced into the derailleur cable. Sounds pretty straightforward...

Got the motor installed. Had to use my dremel to remove some of the inside of the bottom bracket in order to slide the drive shaft through the bottom bracket. Roshan from Biktrix provided the kit and he recommended I use a 120mm HD . With the KHS 500 it might have been possible to use a 100 mm...

Motor and battery came today. Its a lizard style case pretty common style and I had concerns it might not fit in the frame but thankfully it does. I will put fresh batteries in the old digital camera and take a few shots of the process. But it will be sitting untouched for a few days yet while I...

Well I ordered a 1000 watt BBSHD for my fat bike and it should be here in a few days. Hopefully all will be well.

The bike has remained trouble free and i ended the summer with around 1600 km,s. I am now in the process of building a 2nd bike with a mid drive motor that will take me out to the trails.
