    Yup... That's all consistent with my results. So in the end, The battery level indicator could be improved, but everything else about this motor and battery have exceeded all of my expectations. And it all started by watching your video review of the Surly karate monkey that you borrowed from...

    I went with the 22P 12.3 amp hour triangle battery from EM3EV. I would like to offer a correction to my previous statement regarding battery capacity. I didn't know this, but it seems that the four segment indicator that shows remaining capacity is very unreliable. I finally took a long enough...

    Just an update on the performance that I have experienced. Long steep hills are a non issue. This motor and battery easily handled a two mile long 20-25% grade at 20mph without peddling. I also went 30 miles when the battery level indicator just started flickering between full and 3/4. That was...

    To Robert Lafleur - Thank you for this information. I'm not sure if I'm up to it, it seems a little complicated. But I am going to look into it. Thanks again.

    This is interesting. I have a very similar setup. Bafang BBS02 750 watt motor with a 50V 12.3 AH battery. With the speed limit set to 50kph, and the tire size set correctly at 29" the motor cuts off at 31 mph (which is correct) but it also cuts off using the throttle. I have the newest version...

    My BBS02 motor and battery have arrived. Fedex tried to deliver yesterday, but I missed them. I picked up the packages today. So that's three weeks and four days from order to delivery. Everything was in good condition. My last contact with Moon at EM3ev was August 8th when she told me she would...

    So I reached out to EM3EV again. Moon responded quickly that my battery is complete, and my order (including BBS02) will ship later today. So that's two weeks and three days to complete my order. Now we see how long shipping actually takes, and what shape it's in when it arrives. Updates to follow.

    So it's August 3rd now.. Still waiting for word from EM3EV that my 8FUN 750w motor and battery have shipped. (I placed my order on July 19th.) They didn't mention at that time that the motor was not in stock, or that it was on back order. I later found out from the "news" section on their web...

    Then I will look there as well. This bike is much too heavy. But it was cheap, so it will have to hold me over until spring I think. I should have some money by then.

    This is my BEFORE picture. A cheap Walmart bike (Genesis Max Air). I should receive the kit in a couple of weeks, then I'll post the AFTER picture. Later on, when I have enough money for a good bike, I'll move the motor to that one.

    Would anyone here be able to recommend what tools are necessary to install this kit on my specific bike? I know I need the hook shaped tool. Do I need to buy a crank puller, or anything else? (I have an excellent set of automotive tools).

    Thanks for having me. For now, I will mount it on a very inexpensive Walmart brand 29'er. It's a "Genesis Max Air". But the plan is, that when I get more money, to buy a high quality frame, and transplant the kit. The battery is a 48v 14.5ah lithium. Thank you for the video links, and the heads...
