Looks like a really nice starting point. You might look at the 750w Bafang BBS02 if the 1000w HD stretches the budget too far. The rear suspension and small triangle may present a challenge when mounting your battery, but it can certainly be done. Don't skimp on the battery!

As Aliexpress sellers go you could certainly do worse than EM3EV or Unit Pack Power, but I'd use a preloaded debut card, too.

Congratulations! The hardest part is waiting while everything ships, IMVHO.

She's a beaut! Thanks!

So your Rohloff came in that color? Can't find anything like it online, not that I'm quite ready to sell off my youngest. Wonder if I could tint my humble Sturmey. Super impressed with that look.

A thing of beauty and apparently a joy from 2014-2018, when it joined the Choir Invisible. And now its watch is ended.

Things are heating up! My entirely too fancy double-kickstand arrived yesterday, and didn't fit. Oh well... expecting my Sturmey RS-RK3 today, to be refused and returned to Universal Cycles as a wheel build component. Anything obviously wrong with this wheelset? Also expecting my new...

The Universe appears to be realigning. Found a local battery place that will let me bring them the cells, spacers, and BMS, and will just charge me for the labor to scotch-tape them into a pack for me! Beats all hell out of paying $800 for a custom pack build from EBM or any of the other...

I like the cut of your jib, and will investigate very loud alarms. Probably a better idea than using the battery to electrify the bike when parked...

It's for sure not underbuilt! But wouldn't a knife fit into the front or back to access the velcro?

I'm wavering... Finding someone to make a triangle battery in that configuration here in Murka is proving to be a really, really expensive proposition, and the Luna Wolf V2 is perfect in every way except that it's another fnarking downtube-hugger, and there doesn't seem to be any way to...

Found a fantastic deal on Kenda Havoc Pro ebike rated tires here: https://www.bicyclebuys.com/kenda-havoc-pro-tubeless-ready-27.5-folding-tire/0601870PART $45 and ship free down from the typical $75-80.

Some hub motor controllers are multi-voltage capable. Probably depends again on the unit. I'm going 52v, as well, for consistent power during the entire discharge.

it's not the nicest finish I've seen, but not too shabby for a $350 netbike. Filling up the frame with battery is easy, but I haven't seen a secure way to do it and don't care for the look. I'm after a more compact battery so as to mount it as close to the seat tube as possible. Seems to me...

You'll need a 52v charger. The BMS should be included with the new battery. The display may or may not have a 52v setting: depends on what type it is. Is this for a BBSHD drive?

Making some progress tracking down someone to build my battery pack here in Murka. Ebikemarketplace, MTO Battery, and FTHPower have all responded to my RFQs, and seem willing, although the prices are about double the cost of a sketchy Chinese pack. Will update as information is available...

Yeah. Saw a polish video recently where they converted a Marin with a BBSHD, and it was gray with red forks. Slaps.

I am not an electrical engineer, nor do I play one on the Internet, but I learned everything I know from this excellent writeup: https://www.electricbike.com/introduction-battery-design-1/

Just had a phone call with them to see if they could hold my order and redirect, but was too late. The guy on the phone said that they're about 2 weeks behind on wheel builds, but indicated that they'd be able to accomodate me sending the hub back to be a build component. That way I get to try...

That was my original plan, but none of my LBS are answering their phones or email this week.
