It looks like a Salsa Bucksaw.

Yeah I was looking at the Boris Evil Brut Sprung specifically. I'm particularly interested in the shimming requirements for those frames with the BBSHD. Stacking washers and shims just doesn't sound appealing to me.

Have you chosen a bike and done the build yet? I am looking at a Motobecane Boris Brut as a possible replacement for my Radrover. My biggest concerns about fat bike conversions is the chain stay clearances for the gear box and the chainring.

Below is a picture of the display after a 27 mile ride around town today. Mixture of PAS 1 and 2 with some throttle in there to jump out into traffic. I did mange to find a hill to climb several times. It was about 200 feet of 4x4 trail up a hill and if it were any steeper I think I would...

I originally used the 46 tooth paper weight sprocket. I just installed the 42 tooth Luna sprocket before taking these pictures and it made a huge difference. I hit 32mph using the throttle only and 40 mph pedal assisted (both on fairly flat ground). The new gearing is perfect now. I'll try...

Picture of the whole bike

I didn't take any pictures or video of the install. My phone takes picture too large for me to upload and I don't use an online storage. I need to see if I can lower the resolution on my phone and upload some pics. I haven't upgraded the battery "yet". I have enough parts lying around sans...

I'm looking into that option too.. i haven't done a lot of work to fat bikes and all the different dropout widths are kind of intimidating when looking for a rim/hub that will fit the Radrover's dropouts.

2016 Radrover takes a cassette....

Comfort wise I still prefer my Haibike. The torque sensing ability of that Bosch is a feeling you really have to experience for yourself. The plush suspension on the Haibike (6 inches front and rear) makes it a much more comfortable ride as well. Shifting is very similar between the two bikes...

The kit didn't come with the derailleur sensor for cut off but it was a $50 option that I had included. I am using the original battery but haven't been able to test the range in a fair comparison yet. I expect I'll be using PAS 1 and 2 for most of my riding so I'm not expecting my range to go...

Yes, I technically have two motors on it, but the hub motor is not hooked up. I'm trying to figure out if it'll be worth it to get another battery and hook it all back up.

What a coincidence, I have a Haibike as well! I started with the Radrover, loved it so much I bought a 2016 Haibike Xduro AMT RX but still loved the traction of the fat bike, just wanted more power... $750 kit made my Radrover a total animal! Going to be using a lot for hunting in the mountains.

Got my mid drive installed today. With the new gearing I can climb a tree. Should be plenty of power for climbing and possibly dragging a game sled as well. Here's a link to the conversion thread if anyone is interested...

I just finished installing a BBSHD mid drive on my Radrover. Wow! What a difference! This thing will climb a tree now, as well as run 28 mph with throttle only. The kit installed very easily. I went slow and took my time and it took about 2.5 hours. I kept the battery/holder and just...

I haven't receive my tuner yet. I was sent the 45.14 originally and it didn't work so I sent it back and it is currently sitting in Germany customs. I imagine it will be a couple of weeks before I receive the correct one.

I've been hanging my 50 lb. DH bike from its front tire for about 8 years now and no problems whatsoever....

I have a downhill bike and consider my Haibike easier to pedal even while turned off. They weight close to the same, but my Haibike is more efficient when it comes to regular riding.
