Ok, It looks like I want to pull the trigger on a bike build this year. BBS 02 Midrive (750 W) is my preferred choice for this project. My Trek VRX 500 conversion will have to wait a bit, as I will probably leave it stock or just give it to one of my nephews for college. After looking at some...

You need to post a linky. Nothing on their corporate site that I could find.

I spoke to Matt about this. He highly recommended it for specific applications. The built in offset puts the chain ring inward and makes it easier to run your gear changes on your rear cassette without adding as much side load on your chain/ derailier . Basically like using your mid chain ring...

In all actuality, I am quite the tinkerer and have a warehouse full of motorized toys . Quite frankly, my forum name fits me to a "T" as a touch of ADD and an understanding wife have allowed me to accumulate several lifetimes worth of hobbies. I am recently retired at age 56 and am looking to...

Ace, I am currently considering a Volton based on Court's recommendation. I was looking at the 500W mid drive option versus the 500 W hub version. Please post your reviews as soon as you have enough saddle time to make a straightforward comparison.

Hello everyone, first posting on this forum. I am considering an e bike conversion on my little used VRX500, possibly a mid drive or a rear hub kit. Due to the rather odd frame/ chassis configuration of this particular bike, I was wondering if it is worth the effort (I am still trying to find...
