- Testing my other Bafang 500w 36volt motor with a new 17.4AH battery on exact same bike I did last time a 250w range test. Unexpected stats.
Bafang BBS01B mid drive motorised mountain bike with a 17.4 Ah battery pack. Easily hit over 100k with bare minimum effort of my own power and constantly speeding over 30 km/h.. - Sport
Hi Vegan from Vilnius, congrats, nice build
Thanks. Very useful. Encourages me after buying the 500w Bafang, which should arrive tomorrow. Then to build a battery . Looks like 17A/hr is a pretty good start. Cheers.
Beautiful landscape, love the video. What happens when you run out of battery juice? Is there drag when the bafang is off/no more power?
I think utube should offer a monetary incentive for people who get to the point or purpose without all the bull small talk or chitchat.
U know. Positive reinforcement
Come on people, lets start the movement
Just did a test. Bafang 500w 48v 14ah. 59km. Im 107kg heavy. It was still 20km to go.
Reminded me of when I visited the castle back in 2016. What was the wind like on that day?
I changed LCD from 965 to the p850c and get excelent battery reading as you can have 3 lights but in reality its 50 per cent gone . Can see how many watts are being used and shift to make it happy
Wow this is a great video! Can you give me advice on witch Bafang system should I buy? I work as a delivery guy on a bike and i cover 50 to 100 km a day and I need a system that can cover that range, thats reliable, easy and cheap to repair, and that the controller won't fail on me. I was thinking about a Bafang 36v 500w (mid drive) system or 48w 750w (mid drive) system with a battery of 17ah. The controller and range are my biggest concern. Or should I buy a Bosch system?
I work in a mostly flat city and drive a trekking bike. I cover about 1500 km a month.
Hey, 500w 36v and one 17ah battery should do the trick for a full day flat course provided you are going at reasonable speeds 18-25 km/h and pedaling yourself. If you want to have an easy day or often accelerate to 30-40 km/h then getting a second battery will be wise.
I didn't have any problems with controllers so far in my 20K km bafang range. However some friends did have issues with controllers (750w and HD versions).
Bosch is also reliable, if you get a new or a decent motor, most will will be ridden also between 10-20k with not so much maintenance. Though the bike would be more expensive, all the OEM parts like battery will cost more.
@@VeganCatalyst I was thinking when I don't have a delivery or when th delivery is a very short distance that I can ride turned off.... Is pedaling hard with no power?
@@mcgrozozo what did you buy finally ? Im a deliver Guy too
Good video! Nice landscape, where is that? Where do you buy the batteries? Which brand of cells, which type? Thank you for replying.
Hey. Sorry for late reply. It's in Lithuania. Whole upgrade kit bought through ali express and it's Samsung cells or atleast they claim that.
@@VeganCatalyst Is the legal limit not 250W for motors ?
I have 2 batteries for my 750 bafang one is 13Ah and gets me around 35 miles the 17Ah i have does around 17 miles so be careful when choosing a battery.
ostras a que se debera eso? que hiciste al final?
2 things, Where did you get that seat back rack thing An the wire protector thing by the bafang motor, I just done a carerra hellcat lmt edition 29er 750w bafang build myself, Well enjoyed fitting it, I advice anyone to fit their own, Any issues can be sorted by myself then, Where did you get that seat back rack, An wire protectors from, Its a nice bike tho, It needs a 48v system, You can change the controllers on the bafangs tho, You in a stunning country, That castle looks beutiful, I plan on doing something called the taff trail, In Wales where i live, Needs to buy another battery to add too the 20ah one i already have, Will prob get another 20ah so i should get over 100km, I done 15 miles an had 78% still left so i knows i will get a bunch of wires, Get a solar back pack an use that while you ride, I never knew you could use motors in those cycle races, lol....
Thanks. Bit late to the show but hope you enjoyed your trail ride.
As for bag it's a revelate designs pika saddle pack. Guys who tour in Alaska creating these bags, but this one might be out of stock. Bit on expensive side but trustworthy. The wires are in a top tube bag, my mechanic just made a few holes for the cables. Everything stays neat and protected there.
Ahaha. It was my road bike and my legs suffering there, just a background video really.
Is a range like this expected or is that just because you're such an athlete that can easily cycle 80km without an ebike lol. Thanks!
Hi, do u have problem to use small cog gear (11t)? on my setup the chain is slipping away but only under stress condition
Hey, no issues whatsoever. If the bike is quite new and you have been riding for a while now, the cables might have stretched. Other possible issues causing it might be bent derailleur, worn cog, but that's just my intuition. If you find it annoying or impossible to ride then seek service at bike shop. Cheers.
just readjust your rear derailleur, if it's still doing that the springs in the rear derailleur are getting weak.
Can i ask what front chainring you have ? . I had a 44t 1st with a 14-34 cassette an changed bikes along with a 48t , but i have a 52t but would never put it on period !!!!! Notice the battery range drop but top end 1st bike 19mph and bought a better bike .
With the 48t i still get 32mph which i believe is the max this motor will do .
I will order the 46t and believe i will easy hit 30mph+ but my range with mostly throttle is 30miles easy and with pas 1=5 45 miles easy . May try the 44t again as at the moment i dont need the 11t teally .
Really efects the range an a 52 is over kill on battery and motor .
Love my 48v750w bbso2ba unit . Speed is shocking
Hey its 44t, rear cassette is 11-28 (switched from 11-32 as I rarely used last two cogs uphill or anywhere else). I find it to be a good setup to maintain enough cadence (75+) in most cases with minimal power consumption for speeds up to 30 mph.
On the other note I think it is very easy to overuse energy with bigger gears and rather spend a lot of it to overcome friction. That's especially true if you haven't programmed your motor.
Overall its better keeping good rotation for engine long term.
@@VeganCatalyst i had a 14#34 on the back 1st so may go back to the 44t too.
Even if it tops out 28 i will be happy cause the wind factor above 30mph is strong. Whats your top speed please ????
@@VeganCatalyst must learn how to program the motor . ...
@@thomasjurd172 bike alone around 27mph. With my help last summer I've seen 42 but I reckon I could probably do 44. Anyway I reduce maximum voltage to preserve motor. So right now these numbers would be probably 2-4 mph less.
Indeed aerodynamics come hugely into play after 20 mph. Let alone 30, 40+
For example at my weight to go 35mph total watt output either from motor alone or together with my effort would need to be 1160 watts. For 40 mph it's 1650 and for 45 mph it's 2320 watts.. You can see the increase in power is exponential rise there. Astoundingly its 2x power to go from 35 to 45mph.
Kokio range galima tikėtis iš mtb su bafang m400(250w) ir 625wh baterijos?
have you tried 48v 500W , do you know if 36v worth it or 48V 500w?
I would like to know to lol what has better rage /no difference
Šaunuolis ir neblogai viskas paiskinta ir klipas patiko
500w 17,5Ah = 118km
750w need 27-30 Ah for 100+
Music too noisy for this type video but video was good
02:45 song?
D. I. M. Is you Le castle Vania remix
@@VeganCatalyst thanks, Shazam cant find this song
To be honest this is not a fair test. You are clearly a very fit guy who can maintain a speed just over the cut off point for the motor so that you are in fact doing 99% of the work. The only time the motor kicks in is when you come to a junction or stop and then restart. I know this is what happens when I go out on my ebike. When I really push hard I come home with over two thirds of the battery power still there. A battery range test would be no pedalling just throttle only.
