I just got this pedal assist sensor, and of course it has no instructions, and I can't find any videos online for this exact one. I assume the piece on the left goes inside the chain ring, and the piece on the right goes on the bottom bracket, with the light facing outward. Is that all there...

I got a 500W Bafang Rear Hub-Drive kit recently, and it's mostly been working well. The chain ring was wobbly, and I got some advice at my local bike shop today about how to reinstall the bottom bracket and I got that rock solid. When I put it back together though, the PAS was no longer...

I just got this UnitPackPower rack mount battery off of Ebay,. I plugged it in overnight, but not with the power on. I realize now I think I was supposed to leave the power on while charging. Anyway, at this point, if I plug it in to the charger, and press the battery level indicator, it shows...

I have converted bikes to ebikes before with Bafang motors. I am looking at converting a Specalized Crosstrail with a toseven motor. For my needs I think 500W should be enough but I'd like others opinions. I weigh about 185 pounds, and I will occasionally have up to probably 50 pounds of stuff...

I helped a friend convert a cruiser bike to an ebike with a Bafang Mid Drive kit. Occasionally his bike goes rogue and the motor won't stop moving the bike even when he stops peddling. I don't think the throttle is even installed. His brake sensors are not installed either. Has anyone heard of...

I have a jumbo shark battery that I bought from California Ebike last spring. I am thinking about getting a 2nd battery to be able to do really long trips. That battery can be seen here - https://california-ebike.com/shop/48-v-downtube-battery-pack-high-capacity-premium-cells/ I want to buy...

Hey everyone! Long time no post. That's a good thing. My ebike has been working great. (Trek Marlin 5 with a Bafang BBS02 mid-drive kit, 48V, Jumbo Shark Battery) I am planning a 55 mile journey on it for Friday of this week, so I've been tweaking the settings. I want to use as little battery...

Hey everyone. My ebike is working great...so now of course my friend wants help converting his bike to a mid drive ebike! He has an Electra Townie Balloon 3i and the specs online just say it has a "sealed cartridge" bottom bracket - from the best I can tell that would work well and uses a pretty...

Hi everyone - for those who haven't seen my saga, I had an ebike working with a kit purchased from Greenergia through Amazon, and the pedal assist stopped working. I purchased a new "bare bones" motor from California Ebike, and it arrived today. (Dealing with Greenergia for a refund is a...

Me again! The pedal assist stopped working on my BBS02 after only 2 days of riding. I have looked through other forums, and I understand that I probably need to open the motor and check the controller wires, but before I go taking my bike apart again, I wanted to double check to see if anyone...

From when I couldn't even decide whether to convert a bike to an eBike or buy a pre-made eBike, to deciding what motor to get, to help installing everything, this forum has been a total Godsend. I am happy to report that my 2019 Trek Marlin 5 is now an eBike, with a Bafang Mid-Drive Motor...

I am installing my Bafang Mid-Drive Kit on my Trek Marlin 5, and it's going ok enough so far. One issue is that the chain ring is way too close to my frame for comfort. I really wanted the larger 52T ring for torque. The question is...should I order a new smaller chain ring, or would it be...

My Bafang BBS02 has arrived and the battery will be here later this week, as will some tools I still need I've started the conversion though. I've watched several videos about the installation and it all makes sense. I received two identical sets of speed sensors with my kit and I can't...

Hi everyone - I placed an order on Amazon.com for a 500W Bafang Mid-Drive Kit and it is estimated to arrive anywhere between 3 and 7 weeks from now. I am pretty sure it's coming directly from China. I know Bafang doesn't even have these available on their own site right now, and I confirmed by...

Thanks to everyone who has helped me so far on another thread I started Today I bought a used Trek Marlin 5 in great condition and I am planning to take it apart and put it back together again, without any changes, to learn the bike inside out, since I am not experienced with bike mechanical...

Hi, I am sorry if this has been discussed ad nauseam, but I wanted to start my own discussion based on my recent experiences. I live in upstate NY and I want an ebike soon. I have visited 3 shops in the past 2 days, none of them particularly focusing on ebikes, and have spent countless hours...

Hi. I am considering buying a RAD Ebike...specifically a Rad Rover Fat Bike to ride on all terrains...from my daily errands to the trails. If I have concerns at any time about the legality of it here in upstate New York, would it be easy enough for me to somehow temporarily disable or remove...
