    We need to stop blaming victims in bike theft!

    Sorry your bike was stolen and NO it shouldn't be stolen at all in any form what-so-ever even if it's not locked up. That's called "theft". My friends went to Japan and they noted how bicycles were everywhere out in open unlocked and nobody bothered or seem to steal them. I'm sure theft happens...

    Fat man bike; long time rider, but not ebikes

    Does your current bike fit you ? Have you considered putting a mid-drive BBSHD on your current bike? It would cost around $1000-1500k BBSHD and 52v battery would turn your bicycle into a pseudo motorcycle of fun , you can still ride it on level assist 1 and it will still feel like normal...

    Just got a Specialized Turbo Vado SL 5.0 and am quite surprised

    Specialized has that special sauce that makes really good feeling ebikes where you're still engaged in the process of pedaling. If money isn't an option they make some of the best ebikes on the planet.

    Hello, and I think I may need to move on?

    A mid-drive motor would solve your problems climbing hills. Depending on your financing it might be better to sell your current cargo bike and find a mid-drive variant of that bike style. If you have a good e-bike mechanic in your area he can do the conversion on your current bike if you prefer...

    Are mid drives just naturally less zippy than hub motors?

    It was a quote from this link I wasn't talking about my bike. It was a reference to the BBS02 in general. ALL I was saying about my bike is what the display said on the 750c was 58.6v. "If you look closely the first difference is the power, the BBS02 is rated for a max current of 25A which in...

    Are mid drives just naturally less zippy than hub motors?

    But your rea-hub has gears I'm sure they work right? POST #184 right here ,nothing about a 52t teeth front and 16teeth rear you're putting words into my mouth. I said "I'd experiment with a 28teeth front and experiment with the rear cog size. When I charge my battery to full the reading on...

    Are mid drives just naturally less zippy than hub motors?

    So the mid-drive loses after 10mph , which was the entire argument , the mid-drive was faster in a 10mph sprint across the road. Wasn't that the original argument? What cells is your wolf battery , I have the LG cells and after a full charge the 750c display shows 58.6v. Not sure how accurate...

    Are mid drives just naturally less zippy than hub motors?

    It has the controller from LUNA on it . I believe it's 1300 watts max and running 52v battery. Now try the 28tooth front chain ring and different rear cogs. I would never start from a stop in the 16 tooth cog and a 52t front that's too much stress on the motor. THAT'S THE ENTIRE REASON MOST...

    Are mid drives just naturally less zippy than hub motors?

    Zero issues with my 52teeth so far. The entire reason I used a BBS02 on a light bike was exactly that. Because the BBS02 was a smaller motor than the BBSHD and less robust. So far no overheating issues. The motor was repacked with Mobile 1 grease. As long as I don't use the rear 11 tooth...

    Are mid drives just naturally less zippy than hub motors?

    Solar Cabin? haha I wish. It's a 4000 sqft house. Right now is a Lekkie 52T in the front but I have a 28T lekkie I can put on it as well. The 28T is for super fast hill runs. It's pushing 1280 watts peak and is a 750 watt BBS02 running a 52V battery. The rear cassette is a 7 speed shimano...

    Are mid drives just naturally less zippy than hub motors?

    My bike had 600+ miles on it with a mid-drive and did that spinning tire thing in the video and when I got on it under load. It would haul a$$ off the line . I don't need to change gears if needed. In fact I could make a one gear version with a top speed of 20-25mph. Right now it's geared for...

    Are mid drives just naturally less zippy than hub motors?

    I'm not sure the point you're trying to make here. With pedal assist both human legs and the mid-drive motor provide power through the chain ring to propel the bike forward. A mid-drive doesn't need pedals because it's not a human that has feet , it's a mechanical part called a motor. The...

    Are mid drives just naturally less zippy than hub motors?

    A mid-drive relies on the chain , sprocket and rear cassette to propel the bike forward. Just like a human pedaled bikes does. A rear hub motor does not use the bicycles front sprocket , chain or rear cassette to propel the bike forward. You could remove the cranks , pedals , front sprocket...

    Are mid drives just naturally less zippy than hub motors?

    HAHA I don't agree , look at this ,mid-drive , this would scorch your dual hub. I would bet money on it . I wish they actually rode it though on video . The controller appeard to not have pedal assist when he got on it.

    Are mid drives just naturally less zippy than hub motors?

    So the mid-drive is only applying to torque to the rear wheel in his build? While the front wheel is freewheeling off the gearing mechanism off the rear? I Got it now Your build looks awesome BTW! "Hub drives power an ebike via the axle. They don’t – and they can’t – use the gears of the...
