    I installed a rear hub motor on my Catrike Trail. I installed the torque arm that came with the motor kit. The hub motor fit into the 135 mm wide dropouts with the flats aligned with the flats of the dropouts. I have been having difficulty keeping the spokes tight and the wheel true. I took the...

    Settings that worked for you

    I have been trying to get my settings on my new Falco system on a Catrike Trail, to smooth out motor cycling on and off. My first ride, I noticed there was some on/off cycling over 15 miles. My settings were turn on delay 5, turn off delay 5, torque sensor on 5, speed turn on 30, offset 5...

    New 2018 Motor first impression, Torque and Speed sensors

    Falco 500 w.laced into a 20" wheel and installed on a Catrike Trail. First impressions. Just completed a short but hot 15 mile ride. Some rail trail but mostly pavement. Grades were from plus 2-3% to minus 2-3% and one short climb at 6% from Map My Ride. Started in level 1 and could instantly...

    Communication issue IDK

    New install. Set up torque sensor per directions. This is on a Catrike Trail 500 watt motor with console. Took a ride and at set rpm (50) we took off like a shot. No speed on console, no odometer count. It took far too long for the motor to stop assist which was somewhat disconcerting. Several...

    Water resistance

    I am installing my new Falco 500 W system which includes a bottle battery and console and plus, minus assist regen button accessory. I use my Catrike on our local rail trail, and some touring on the GAP and Erie Canal. There are times when the best of rainless riding plans go off the rails. And...

    Controller or display shot

    I have a March 2015 BBSO2 500 watt installed with 150 trouble free miles until yesterday. I was out for the first ride of 2016 (been on my trike) and almost immediately started getting error 30 code with the motor cutting in and out on PAS1 and display numbers dropping to zero and back to normal...

    Has anyone purchased this chainwheel yet?"LEKKIE BLING RING, 42T CNC CHAIN WHEEL FOR BAFANG BBS02"

    Purchased from Paul, well made and perfect fit. Blue! No chain guard so your long leg pants are exposed to ring. Couldn't find aftermarket guard to fit bolt pattern. Worth the money if in your budget.

    So, now my bride wants one too

    What I have done is copy Court's information on motor classes such as 1-2 or 3 and motor differences, hub, mid drive etc into my Evermore in a reader view and she is going to read them and then we are going to our LEBS and try a mid and a hub pedlec only and class 2. Then she should be armed...

    So, now my bride wants one too

    I recently converted a Trek Pure comfort bike using an 8Fun 500 W kit from em3ev. I have ridden this bike more in 3 weeks then in the 5 years prior to conversion. 15 to 30 miles a trip for local errands and to fill the growler. My bride has the same bike in a step through. She has never really...

    Good candidate for BBOS2?

    On sale now! They also offer an optional lever brake. The other issue however, for a conversion the belt ring (no chain) would be perhaps a problem with mounting to the 8Fun. Maybe a front wheel hub motor would make it work? In any case a nice looking well fitted bike for not much of an investment.

    Good candidate for BBOS2?

    Looks like a fun simple design and I like the belt drive. Brakes are the old coaster style within the geared hub. Maybe somewhat problematic for the mid drive. Paul does offer a button switch motor cut off that would work to kill the motor, and yes when the pedal is not in forward motion the...

    completed conversion and observations

    A very long and beautiful shadow it is. I am in the Upper Valley region near Hanover. Happy Spring to you and hope you are finally getting out for some rides. I did part of the rail trail and some places were still icy.

    completed conversion and observations

    The button cutoff is available from Paul at em3ev it takes the place of one of the brakes having a motor cutoff and I chose the rear or left brake position. It attaches like the throttle. Instead of plugging in the supplied new brake lever, the button cutoff supplies that function. When shifting...

The conversion included all new cables, brakes, derailleur and adding mirrors, bell, lights and clipless pedals. I installed the big green button shift assist on the left of...
