Just got this together. Need to route the wiring a little better and I got a Shift Sensor to mount. Figure that I will put the Sensor on my wife’s kit set up after I have a chance to try it on mine, ( I do not mind using the brake switch like a motorcycle clutch). I got the P850C Display with...

This may be confusing. If you know your calipers as far as piston stroke before the piston passes the seal, you can do this to remove the air: Take the caliper loose from the frame and off of the disk. Pump the brake lever, (master cylinder), until the piston extends just shy of going passed...

A hammer and a small chisel works to catch the edge of the bolt head and rotate the bolt, (unscrew). And please be careful with heat guns as there is basically a high heat generated by the wire element capable of starting a fire. Who’d a thunk it?

Sounds like the DPC18.UART

The offset planetary type gear drive looks pretty cool!

@Rome, Thanks! I just figured that since it was already there and that I could not find my chain breaker, I would leave it on and utilize it. Especially, since the first one is my wife’s bike and she is not so good on shifting etiquette. Since I put together the Ebike, she likes riding...

Thanks! Better to find out now. Looking like the price tag for a 42t is about $50. Just trying to be frugal in preparation for retirement.

Thanks for the reply! That is what I am thinking.

That is a very Good point. Is there any kind of wet brake available for Ebikes or is that something one would have to fabricate? That is something for me to think about. We do have some long hills in southern WI.

Thanks, I missed that. I can see the benefit in that.

I had read that the chain can / will jump off of the chainring. It was suggested that the front derailleur be kept in place as a chain guide. I did this on my wife’s Ebike kit build by adding an adjustable cable stop mounted on the seat post tube. Do not know if this is needed. What do you...

Thanks! I have another kit coming so that I can keep up with my wife. She hits the hills and before I know it she is 2 blocks ahead of me! Just have to decide whether to put the kit on my mountain bike or my road bike. It is looking more and more like I will be putting it on the mountain...

Thanks! I saved it.

I am familiar with equipment sold with “regen”. It is pretty much a pipe dream with little effect on BSOC. IMHO, It is just a sales gimmick. If you do the “real math”, you will see what I mean. Nobody gives you real working values. My .02

The fuse is a Really Good idea! I work on a lot of electric powered lifts, scrubbers, forklifts, etc. and quite a few of them have fuses. Those that do not, I have added fuses which saves the controllers and motors when batteries go low and operators do not have enough sense to stop.

Thanks for the complement! Would you have a recommendation for a source for a quality 42T? Is the Bafang Chain Ring a decent one? Regards, Keith

@indianajo, Thanks for the welcome! I will look into the diy kits forum.

@tomjasz, Thanks for the reply! I would like to have the 5 modes in proportionately greater steps with softer starts, if that is possible. This DPC18 display has 5 modes in both Ecco and Sport. I purchased the kit thru Amazon marketplace from Greenergia. At the present time, my wife is...

Greetings to the group! I live in WI. I just put together a Bafang BBS02 kit, 500W, 13.5 AH 48v battery, on my wife’s Trek Verve3 hybrid. Works really Good! Thinking about putting one on either my Trek 820, 26“, front suspension mountain bike or my Trek FX 7.2 non-suspension road bike, 700c...
