Be sure you order the Bafang throttle with compatible Higo connector.

Have a spare throttle? Highly recommended! I suspect a fault there. Go to electric fat bike. Use Karl's programming guide. Try a new throttle. $18 delivered first class mail from California eBikes. Throttles die often. If it's a deeper problem you have a recommended spare. Do not experiment with...

EM3ev has upgraded Mosfet's in all 750W controllers. No more heat problems. Be aware that lugging this motor is responsible for many of the problems. But it will definitely hold up to customary use with this upgrade. BTW My BBS01's haven't missed a beat. I also now have a Bafang clone BBM02...

George, I've built quite a few using crank forward bikes. I see Lectric is now doing the same thing with Townie setups. So far I've used Trek Pure Dlx (3spd), KHS Smoothies (7spd), and Electra Townies (IGH and Derailleur versions). I'm actually older than the listed birthdate on this forum. I'm...

I understand everyone concern. However, with a properly programed BBS01 and a simple tap of the brake I can shift my junky 3spd Sturmey Archer. 500 miles and no problems. I understand that shifting under stress and a bad chainline can tear up a IGH, but I've learned to that a good chainlink and...

"Sorry currently out of stock." Odd, considering the largest wholesaler, 3, tell me they are not able to supply cables from Bafang. Secondly the cable shown is horribly short for this chore IMO. Making a cable is quite easy and not at all daunting. Next, I'd like to point out that many a...

There are some really nice EM3ev triangle packs available for $45 on endless-sphere.com. Nice and very well made. I think a lot heavier and larger.

Today's build on a Sun flat foot. The Sun is less crank toward than a Townie, or KHS Smoothie but extremely efficient 15mph 36v. 11.2 Ah 10s6p Samsung 22p battery is very robust. Easily near 20 miler with minimum input and 80% charge.

There is no 1000W BBS02. Lectric Cycles has rebranded a version with a Gearsensor lead. The 1000W posts got a lot of attention but talking to 3 major resellers 1000W does not yet exist. For commuter use the BBS01 is extremely efficient. An 11.3Ah 36vbattery, charged to 80%, yields 15miles...

WOW, I have the latest iteration of apple operating systems. Apparently the "spiel chicker" is far more aggressive than previous versions. Instead of missing a letter, which typically accounts for most of my spelling errors, I'm getting completely new words. WOW!! I promise to look before...

Good point Ann. There have been reports of problems with exactly the same back story. Stupid at the cranks from loose bolts and crass threaded pedals by home installs. Any alloy coteries crank can have the same problem. I've noticed many OEM's are using blur loctite. It make for a harder removal...

The kit is not nor has ever been represented as a good choice for a jumper. There are motors, drives, and cranks that can take the abuse. Some simple searches would have revealed that. Look I'm not being, or meaning to be rude, but the kit just isn't built for the kind of use you're complaining...

Would you buy a Prius and take it to a stock car race?

Sadly reducing the size reduces mechanical advantage significantly. I did a cursory search last night and found a few "standard offset" crankarms. Reported to be good replacements. But as I wrote, I'm building a small database and BBS0x FAQ, the report of failed arms is a bit of sensationalism...

Well after some research I find some those broken crankarm reports are very limited and confined to extreme abuse/use. I slo found standard offset crank arms fairly easy to find. Much adieu about nothing I think. That being said this old guy on a flat foot is unlikely to break one.

Where did you find the offset crank arm for the chainring side?

Where did you find the offset crankarm for the chainring side?

Sadly It will be awhile. There is a new distributor. I've been asked to not reveal until he announces the product. I expected him to have stock and reveal by now. I know he had quite a few to test. I'll be certain to update. I've spent significant time on this device.
