    Commute bike 12 miles Marin to SF, hilly

    Attached are a couple pics of my BBS02 commuter build on a Marin Fairfax SC6 with an Alfine 11 IGH. I love this bike, which has been more or less maintenance free for 300+ miles so far (with the BBS02 being completely maintenance free). If you are going to do a build start with a good bike...

    Zeitgeist City

    Hard to imagine this bike selling very well, when you could use a Bionix kit, Bafang BBS02, or any number of other options with a nice carbon road bike (Diamondback Interval Carbon, for example ~ $1,500) and end up with a similar end result for a 1/3 or less of the price. The things that were...

    Juggernaut V-max ?

    What size battery at 54 lbs - that is a decent weight as compared to most e-bikes, not to mention a Fat eBike! Very excited to see you guys put this one into production...

    Marin Fairfax SC6 Alfine IGH Commuter Build

    Yes, the Fairfax comes with the Supernova light connected to a front dyno hub, which all in all works better than I thought it might... The supernova lights are very nice! I like the looks of the shark packs, but they weren't available when I purchased this setup (the bottle pack looks good...

    Marin Fairfax SC6 Alfine IGH Commuter Build

    The Marin Fairfax came setup with the Alfine 11 speed IGH. I had been researching different IGH options, and searching for bikes that were well adapted to an IGH (usually you want a frame that has horizontal drop outs to allow for chain tensioning, but the Marin just uses a separate chain...

    Marin Fairfax SC6 Alfine IGH Commuter Build

    Thanks for the kind words on my latest build... David, the bike has hydraulic brakes so the standard brake levers provided with the BBS02 do not work. So, I have using one eBrake Sensor (http://dillengerelectricbikes.com/spares/brakes/hydraulic-brake-sensors/hydraulic-brake-sensors.html)...

    Marin Fairfax SC6 Alfine IGH Commuter Build

    Recently built up my second (sort of third) BBS02 commuter build on a 2014 Marin Fairfax SC6 with an Shimano Alfine 11 speed IGH. While I only have about 20-30 miles on the build so far, I absolutely love the IGH. The shifting is very smooth and precise, but does require cutting power in...

    Confused on What to Order

    Check out Luna Cycles, they offer very good pricing on motors and dolphin packs, they have very nice Low profile packs in right now that are 52v 13.5 ah... Eric is also very helpful and knowledgable.

    Bafang, possible to integrate bike lights?

    No control of lights from Bafang controller (but I don't see this as necessary either)...

    Bafang, possible to integrate bike lights?

    My lights are wired in all the time (the lights have switches on them, but I always run with them on). Accordingly, as soon as the battery pack is in its holder and turned on (battery pack has a switch) the lights come on. Purchased lights from Luna Cycle that are capable of handling wide...

    Bafang, possible to integrate bike lights?

    I wired my lights directly into the battery pack (bottle/dolphin) as it has an on/off switch and I prefer to ride with lights all the time (safety), works great! It seems like most of the dolphin packs available with these kits include an on/off switch, wiring in light at least provides some...

    New EBR Review - e-Rad/Bafang (Lectric Cycles)

    Chris will Lectriccycles have any plans to sell the belt drive bike as a finished product or (maybe of more interest) the center lock belt/pulley interface to the Bafang mid-drive?
