There so many points being missed in the views of mid drives. The balance that comes from having the motor and battery center and low makes for a very different ride. I didn't at all enjoy the rack mounted battery mounts especially after riding a mid with a bottle battery. I really wish the...

Sadly, not yet. I'm curious. I have ridden the Bosch Mid and it was sadly lacking in power. Have you ridden the BBS01 or 02 to have a comparison? Bosch is certainly slicker and the noise about 8Fun is obvious, but given the number of them in use it seems much adieu about nothing to many...

It's really easy to have smooth torque free shift. It just takes a bit of coordination. I give a light tap, not enough to engage, on the brake lever to stop power to the motor. I have been riding with a Sturmey Archer 3speed hub and a Shimano#spd hub. They are taking it just fine. BUT just...

I'm must apologize since I've come to realize I sound snarky. I don't mean to. However there are some tall tales and rumors being put forth here that just aren't true. No good battery build should be reduced by half after 300-400 charges. Somethings wrong with the build. I've beat the dickens...

BTW f you read the descriptions you'll find he reveals precisely how the pack is configured and which batteries are being used.

I have three of his batteries. He is a highly respected member of the international Bike community. Excellent service and support. I also have three kits, now nearly a year old. I have a dozen acquaintances who have done business with hime for more than 6 years. Excellent reports. No negatives.

Saw it on Facebook, good read and should calm some fears with basic rules.

There are several reputable sources for battery packs, they don't have to be and are not the risk in a kit. Allcell, Ping, and EM3ev are 3 of the score of builders that produce batteries that are safe and reliable. NTS has a great idea, however it remains to be seen if there business model and...

I keep looking at those Headway cells. Some are reporting as much as 3 times the life of the 18650 packs. I'm not sure they're comparing apples to apples, in that there are so many different specifications within the 18650 group. They are individually expensive but the pack and cell design...

I'm curious about the packs that folks are saying have lost significant power after a year. Do you know which cells were used in those packs? Are the packs for 250W bikes? All 18650 batteries are not equal. The cells Bosch uses, for instance, are rather tepid. Sadly many battery resellers don't...

I found the idea solution for me after trying a score of I'll fitting EBikes that a custom build on a frame that was an ideal fit was the best route. Several here have had their favored bike converted. I used a $450 crank forward town is style with an $1100 kit that could be installed for...

So are Lipo powered bikes typically kept out of shops?

Where is the battery from? Who built it? I don't hesitate to leave mine alone. It's no more dangerous than a gas can. Proper storage and location and all is well. For winter charging in my basement, I do it in my stored BBQ. Way over kill. But It makes me feel better knowing it can't start a fire.

Lot's of home builders using less than quality materials and lots of RC Lipo out there too. If you've ever arced even a 24V SLA you'd see they are more than capable of starting a blaze with the right conditions. Good old lead acid in your car used to run motors can be just as dangerous with poor...

I monitor the batteries constantly. I don't ride the bike to the point of the BMS shutting it down ever. I did twice to see what they were capable of before owning a meter to monitor. But thanks for your concern. The batteries and bikes are nearly identical and they are regularly rotated. I now...

I thought it was a Bafang, v1?

I have the same Samsung battery in my battery pack. It is a solid performer. a 36V 13.8AH pack gets 25 miles FULL THROTTLE NO ASSIST. Sorry to yell but I wanted to make that clear. I am disabled and often have days I cannot pedal at all. Now at 25 miles the BMS shuts the bike down. Not a...

New controllers were shipping in July 2014. There were lots of old controller still in the pipeline. Are you referring to the batch of bad BMS from EM3ev? Sorry I'm making a point of this but reading this thread makes it sound as if the problem with BBS0x units is the BMS systems in batteries...

Where in the world did you get that idea? Bafang and acknowledged a problem and updated controllers on the 750W drives. With the new and improved V2 controller that increases the controller FET count from 6 Fets to 9 Fets, the BBS02 750w Bafang motor is not only able to deal with the high power...
