In Dec 2020, I converted an acoustic hybrid Specialized Crosstrail with a Rear Hub Kit from Dillenger. The project was fun and easy and I have over 450 miles on the build bike now. I love it. BUT! I want to remove the Hub drive and get a BFang BBS02 Mid-Drive motor. It would be ideal if I could reuse the battery, battery cradle with integral controller, the C965 display, thumb throttle and the handlebar selector switch. OK, it doesn't have to be all of that stuff. But the majority of expensive stuff would be good.
Dillenger says they make most all of the parts themselves and that if I want to change to a Mid-Drive I should buy a complete kit and remove the original complete kit.
I'm trying to figure out how I can make this change without buying a whole new kit including battery. It seems connectors and the controller will be the major issues but I'm unsure how to plan and begin this project.
Any help or advice for starting this project will be greatly appreciated.
