You shouldn`t get a clicking sound, thats not normal. It`s more like a low whirring sound i reckon.

That wouldn`t surprise me at all, lol! Had another look at his advert there, here`s a good bit " 48V 750W BBS02 Bafang Mid-drive ---New 2015 Version 16 Mosfet 1400 watt Max. MAX Speed 32 MPH. (Others are selling the regular 9 Mosfett 1100 watt version and we have that for $80 cheaper if...

James, I wouldn`t be too concerned with the motor, if you`ve just bought it it`s sure to be one of the latest type. Anyway, if you have it on the bike already put your head right underneath and you should see the serial number on the base of the motor, check it starts with 15.

Theres been a lot of speculation and wild claims by certain sellers regarding the spec of Bafangs motors/controllers. This topic has been discussed both on this forum and other ebike forums. Is there a 16 FET version or not? Well yesterday i contacted Bafang for their comments on this claim...

That is the main problem, could you not get it inside somewhere safer? It`s going to be some hassle disconnecting and connecting the display and buttons every day. `750w BBS02 16mosfets + 48v 14ah lithium.` btw, 16 fet controller? Did you buy off that guy on Ebay?

thats a very steep slope on that crossbar, you may be limited there in size and more importantly aH on what you can get in there. this seems a decent frame battery if it would fit...

Checked that just now, yes you do have to allow for another inch and a quarter to be able to lift the battery clear. You could also mount it `upside down` on the down tube as well.

Andre, Have a look here for similar---> http://www.aliexpress.com I ordered a 48v 13aH battery with my BBS02 kit from there. So far so good on the battery but if i was doing it again i`d go for a 15aH or 20aH item. In my location you don`t go more than 500 yards and there`s a steep hill...

As CourtJ says those are the things to start with.. Was this run on the flat or an incline? Is the motor the latest model, you`ll see the date of manufacture right underneath. You didn`t check the motor to see if it felt hot? Hopefully not a fried controller, but...

Hi Spotty, i live in a very hilly area myself, what gear ratios are you using with your NuVinci?

Level 1 (ONE) ... are you sure??

@Go-Coo It was my intentions to switch to the NuVinci too but looking at your chain tensioner at the drop-outs i can`t see how i can do this. How would i tension the chain, can`t pull the hub back. My drop-outs go straight down, yours straight back - any suggestions?

Good question, it was already wired! The power from the battery goes into that green button switch on the handlebars first then to the light, unless there`s some kind of resistor in there to drop the voltage. The light is leds, no voltage markings on it..

You`re right about finding yourself in too high a gear too often - so are we talking NuVinci or what? They`re a bit pricy, and how do they hold up to the 48v/750w torque?

Reviews say it all really... Most Helpful Customer Reviews 19 of 21 people found the following review helpful This is a total scam. there is no 16 ... By Amazon Customer on February 10, 2015 This is a total scam. there is no 16 fet controller made for this particular motor set up. In fact...

Ok, those with mid-drives, what gearing do you find the best? The chainring that comes with the 8FUN kit is a 46T usually, do any find that a bit too high? Also what ratios at the back wheel the best? At the minute i have a 14T - 34T 7 speed freewheel with the 46T at the front. Ok for the hills...

Great lookin` bike there Jz :cool: no, batterys ok, just thought you could get it between the front fender and the frame near the motor.

Needs a lot more info and photos for a start! and i`d try and mount that battery a lot lower. (same spec as mine btw)

Yes, the motor is 250w and the battery is 48v 10aH, its ok if you don`t have many steep hills where you are. The lights front and back came on the bike and run off the battery.
