Here's proof. 'designed and developed by California Ebike'. Asking if it is also manufactured there is only reasonable. And thank the stars you don't work customer service for anybody, you're a special kind of asshole. Thanks for your help.

What does that prove? After I messaged them one dealer here got it back in stock and another two offered to order it in for me. All messaged me back to let me know. CEB only responded to my initial inquiry, then blew me off. I'm not 'disparaging' them at all, they did that to themselves by...

That's cool. But they could have responded to me at anytime to clarify that, it's a simple question lol. Instead they closed my ticket with no response, three times. That's just shitty customer service. Every other shop I've contacted has been more than happy to help, if they could have. It...

Absolutely positive. You can use whatever size motor you want on private property, which is the loophole bike stores here are using to sell the BBSHD, but there isn't a province in the country that allows them for street use at this time. I'm lucky in that I'm even allowed a throttle in...

That explains so, so much to me now lol. I'd never be strong enough to shear a regular bicycle crank. I felt like I was the Hulk hahaha.

I realized it was a dumb question after the last post haha. 🤣 I think those Bafang arms probably are fine for most people, but I've even ruined a pair that were installed properly. Snapped at the diamond corners. They're softer steel because they likely weren't expecting dumbasses like me to...

On second look the threaded hole just runs WAY deeper than it needs to. You know your stuff. 😉 Yeah I used a torque wrench and 2 step tightening. Tightened by hand, rode a few hundred feet then torqued on. Learned that after I ruined the first set of cranks. These things are a lot lower quality...

Good to know it's genuine! I've broken this bike in some interesting ways already but this was by far the most unexpected. I lose pedals every winter. I'm on my fourth set of cranks since installing the motor in August. I busted my carrier (and hip!) in a wipeout 3 weeks ago. This fall yesterday...

Also, I would have never conceived the idea that a spindle could be hollow like this. He definitely used a cheap extension kit, regardless of the authenticity of the motor. I didn't think the shaft was made of anything less than solid steel. This looks like plastic almost lol.

Like I said, I think got the seller kicked off Amazon so no link possible. Judging from how I was deceived about shipping, it was shipped from a Bafang warehouse to him, he pressed in the 100mm extension, then shipped it to me. It was supposed to have been shipped directly to me from China but...

That's a different province, so I'm not sure how or if they're enforcing e-bike laws. I've done my research though and anything over 500W is 100% illegal country wide in Canada. Some provinces even ban throttles. I live in Saskatchewan and while they allow throttles, anything over 250W with a...

Also there's nothing wrong at all with a BBS02 on a fat bike! I don't know why people keep saying this. I've been riding it for 6 months and it honestly has TOO MUCH power for a daily commuter. I don't know what you people are doing with your bikes that you need so much juice. I rarely go above...

The Amazon link is gone, I got him removed as a seller because they misrepresented the sale and I got hit with $$$ in import fees on delivery. It's absolutely a Bafang motor though, I've had it apart for some maintenance already and everything else checked out. I just didn't realize that the...

So I'm thinking this kit should work too then? https://goldenmotor.bike/product/extension-modification-kits-100mm-and-120mm-easy-install-bafang-bbs02/

I don't remember seeing a seam but I got the motor from a dealer called Honey Dan off Amazon. There was no mention it was a modded motor lol. These are good things to know! 😁 Also it's absolutely a 750w BBS02, that I at least know for sure.

Yeah I imagine those import fees go both ways lol. Really hard to swallow though when I see the part I need listed for $75 CAD on Canadian websites that are just out of stock. Looks like I'm gonna have to decide how bad I really want it lol.

Oh wow, so the motor sold to me as a genuine Bafang 100mm is just a 68mm with a kit?

Ouch! That one's still going to be around $200 CAD after shipping and duty. That's half the price of a new motor lol. Definitely the right part though. Any idea if there are suppliers outside the US? (US import fees are deal breakers on almost all orders)

After watching a few overhaul videos it looks like a surprisingly easy swap. Finding the part is going to be a challenge though!

Nope, those are the extension kits that charge $100 more than the lone axle is worth. I can find an axle for a 68mm BB for around $65 CAD, those extension kits for the 100mm BB start at over $200 and come with parts I don't need. Also those kits are after market, I'm looking for a genuine Bafang...
