    Mid drive recumbent fuel efficiency considerations.

    Volume of sales they stomp Shimano and Bosch. There is this little country with a small population called China where Bosch and Shimano hardly exist, perhaps in N America and Europe, Bosch reigns supreme but worldwide it's Bafang all day. On a recumbent, 30kph (~20mph) is easily achievable...

    Mid drive recumbent fuel efficiency considerations.

    The big guys? Like Bafang? I never really thought of Bosch as "the big guys," Bafang is bigger in every way other than price. Your mileage numbers are unimpressive you might want to see if you've got a brake dragging or some other issue. If I hop on a Bulls with a Bosch Cx and 500wh battery...

    Mid drive recumbent fuel efficiency considerations.

    I have an HP Velotechnic Street Machine GTE. It's a sweet full suspension recumbent suited to long distance tours. To that end I'm looking for a very fuel efficient mid drive to mount up and tour on. I'm thinking 2 chain rings up front and a wide range 9 speed on the back and I should be able to...

    48V BBS02 at 36V?

    I have a 48V BBS02. I also have 2 700WH 39V batteries (11s5p). I don't have a programming cable. Before I build or buy a programming cable can my controller even be programmed to run on 36V (or 39V)? The batteries were from a BH Atom something, they're new but will not work in the bike they're...

    48v volt controller at 36v?

    If I had a 48v bbs02 and it 36v to it would it run? I realize I'd only be getting about 500w out of it. I know the motor would run of connected directly to pretty much any voltage but will the 48v controller run the motor on 36v or will it decide there is not enough juice and not work?

    BH ATOMX Carbon - 2019 Model

    I rode one a few times, I loved the Brose motor. Of a'll the motors I've ribben it's my favorite. I had an issue with the battery though. I was climbing a techical trail about a half hour uphill from my truck when it just went dead. My day was done. I plugged the charger in and it...

    How many miles do you have on your Brose system?

    In my experience on the BH Atom X there was no "trying to keep pace with analog mountain bikers," they were so far behind I was riding alone all day. Uphill or downhill that bike rocks, it's one of my favourites.

    Need suggestions for fast ebike

    I haven't seen too many broken spokes. One client running a Bafang 750W hub was breaking spokes. The problem was that the holes in the rim were barely big enough for the nipples, combined with the larger diameter hub it put a bend on each spoke near the nipple. I built him a new wheel with new...

    Need suggestions for fast ebike

    Not a chance. I rode Feliz's Ultra, it kills the the Shred and every other hub I've ridden. The Shred OK but nothing to write home about, Magnum Metro+ with the Das Kit hub is faster than the shred for similar money. Full disclosure, I sell Shreds, Magnums, Bulls, BH, and a bunch of others so...

    Known Issues & Problems with Easy Motion Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Done, done and done. The problem is that it's intermittent. It's not my bike so diagnosing is tough because I haven't been able to make it happen. She said it happens at 24kph every time, but I rode it about 10km and it wouldn't do it for me. Do these have a BB mounted pedal sensor or is it a...

    Known Issues & Problems with Easy Motion Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    I have a 2018 or 2019 (?) Easy Motion Street that cuts power occasionally (no power to the motor but the display still works). If the battery is removed and reinstalled it will continue working until the next time it does it. I've cleaned the contacts on the battery & cradle but it continues to...
