Thankfully I got a refund with the kit. I'd be pretty annoyed paying for product like that. The resistance feels like riding a MTB through 1" soft mud that the tyre is sinking into. On a flat road, keeping to the same mph requires a lot of effort. I've carried 30kg in a rucksack and it's worse...

Jesus what a bunch of assholes

So you're saying the bike is useless unless I have power? When I run of our charge I had five miles to ride it was torture One thing I've noticed is if pedal faster the motor is rotating I feel resistance.

L 0..with the battery off. What the high amount of resistance means is that I do not provide any assistance, as any of my pedal power is converted into resistance not power that is transmitted to the rear wheel

Yes. It's not too bad in the stand pedalling the crank turning the wheel, so not much load. You can turn the crank with pinkie finger. But riding on the bike the amount of resistance is nuts, I'd say roughly 30% of my leg power just to turn it to ride the bike

Why is this forum filled with sanctimonious unhelpful **********

Can you draw/explain that a bit more Square taper ? Where the crank slots on?

So what is the solution? It's like going up a steep hill

Are you a mod? If you don't like it, leave. I have Bafang BBS02. Google search brings up plenty of references to high resistance on BBS02/HD motors. No particular fixes.

And yet plenty of people are saying they have high resistance on their bafang motors.

Nope

I think the resistance has gotten worse. Thankfully I got a full refund and still have the kit. I'd be pretty annoyed paying this price for a skit, it's practical unrideable with the amount of resistance. Also means because I'm fighting resistance I'm pretty much on the battery 99% of the...

Nope didn't make any difference

Got some spacers I'll try offsetting motor just in case there is frame/motor contact

Don't screw it all the way in you'll put a lot of strain on a the spring

The resistance is there on the flat and level. And on inclines its worse than my fixie that has 46/16 loaded up with 10kg

I expect resistance but not so much literally you cannot pedal uphill on pedal power due to massive amount of resistance. It's not the extra weight I've carried more weight in rucksack, trailer etc.

It's fine coasting, brakes are not binding, wheel hub is ok. Coasts fine with power on and off, just under pedal power a lot of resistance from bafang unit. You can feel it with low Pas mode you are going faster than the motor

Oh there is, even in first gear 44/32 it's like a turbo trainer.

Yeah thought so it's mechanical one not electrical
