How about a follow up? Maybe a breakdown on the installation itself? What you need to know, What to avoid, etc
This would be nice
Whaaat? You totally missed it, probably because of all that nail biting bike sorcery he was able to capture. I haven't seen trail thrashing that rad since Joey Moskowitz lost a wheel mid-flight on his candy apple red BMX while jumping hills at the ore-cuts in Junior High. Shit made the Wichita paper.
I had to use my journey t shirt to stop the arterial bleeding from where his upper thigh was penetrated all the way through by one of the forks bending backward upon landing! But that pales in comparison to this video. I felt the instructions were clear and concise, and the editing was studio worthy, as was the costume changes. The parts I found exciting were the points on chain dynamics, gear box to helmet ratio, and steady state theory. What do you want him to do, tell you how to install it??? C'mon!!
As far as I'm concerned, my next stop will be swagging my beast out with rad gear....saddle bags , more decals, then the next stop will be BIKE WEEK, WOOT!! Daytona WOOT, WOOT...BEACH ....WOOT WOOT WOOT!!!!
@@SmokestackLightning3.14 Can I have some of what you're smoking?
@@ravenrock541
The thing about center motors is that they wear out chains sprockets and bearing and rims fast . And the battery's don't last as long as they say which are very expensive !
Respect for the cameraman for running 25mph🔥
He had to if he didnt want to get run over by the lunatic on the ebike.
I don’t know how he recorded that honestly
He may have been using a standard bike.
It looked like a green screen lol
That’s my Wife running backwards while filming, she rocks
I have had the BBSHD at 48 volts on a fat bike for 3 years, love it.
It certainly looks a lot easier to install it than early generation conversion kits with their strap on bags, wires all over the place, warnings not to get the kit wet or rained on. The placement of the mid drive motor & electronics makes this ideal for normal or reverse trikes, recumbent, maybe even some quads or multiple passenger bikes.
0:56 Those are some fancy kickstands you've got there.
I did a whole season with the BBS02 in Northern Ontario. It can handle rain sleet and snow like nothing.
The programming cables helps a lot.
I unlocked 9 levels and slow each of them down so my legs don't spin too fast.
You get that when the speed is about 10% less than power level.
Hey there! I just stumbled upon a new project called the freebeat Morph 2-in-1 eBike and it sounds incredible! Not only does it offer a smooth riding experience, but it also has some outstanding features. One feature that caught my attention is the indoor recharge capability, allowing you to charge the bike while using it indoors. That's a game-changer for those rainy or snowy days when you can't go outside. Plus, with its 80mm front suspension and puncture-resistant fat tires, it seems like it can handle any terrain with ease. Can't wait to try it out myself! Keep up the great work, freebeat!
@@StellaHulliet That's some serious culinary fusion
When you add the price of battery and display in there, you're starting to approach the price of a pre-built ebike. Kits seem like a good option if you already have a decent bike frame on hand, though. I wonder if it's practical to DIY a battery pack out of 18650's or another lithium-ion cell to the same specs as the factory battery pack--that'd bring the cost of these kits down dramatically.
I am about to buy the same kit. I can't wait! Thanks for this video, it's super motivating!!!
THIS is what I've been waiting for! :D
lol, love the stick kick-stand xD
These bafang mid drives are absolutely awesome kits
I just love these moped videos!
I used to have a moped when I was young. My moped ran on gasoline.😂
That thing is huge! The CYC Photon looks nice and discrete
I put a similar mid-drive kit on a 29er Kent Trouvaille. The bike was $350, the kit was about $800. Sold it to a friend for $1,650 & I have regretted ever since, since I don't have the time or patience anymore to build another one. It was my Covid project, if you will. It used to go 25 to 36mph going downhill with slick touring tires. 🤣
1650$…too expensive..you lucky you made money out of your friend..💰💰💰you can buy under 1k for better bike..
@@romavilla7855not at that time
I knew I recognized those SE Coastal GA palmettos! We lived in the Glynn County area for about 7 years too! Great video and a great conversion.
I've got the same mid-drive motor it peaks at 1200w which is 112 Nm of torque and if you get the eggridder V2 display you can Configure the settings from your phone because its Bluetooth I love it I've got full throttle all the time plus I don't need to set up in my laptop all the time it's Instant I could change them when I'm out if I wanted to but now I'm setup I just leave it alone 👍🏾😊
Got an update? I'm looking into getting one.
So you never padel?
Bought one during summer and love it.
Nice
How long does it take to drive
I dig your oh natural kick stands.
I’m obsessed with the idea of converting my bike. This kit seems to be pretty well reviewed and simple to install
I had my friend installed 2 of the 48v 750w on both of my Trek bikes and it was the best thing I have ever had done 3 years ago and still no issues or problems with this setup... two thumbs up 👍 👍
@@martintammo72 can I ask which trek bikes you had? I have a brand new trek I’d like to convert to an EBike but I have no clue where to start.
I kind of like this one where you have to replace the whole crank plus my three front gears on my mountain bike are useless cuz they don't switch out of the second gear
Same question. I have a Trek 4900 mountain bike. How would I know if would fit? Do you have to take it apart a measure bore on crank? Thanks in advance!
You can also get a USB cable to connect your bike to a PC or laptop which means you can program the drive to be more or less responsive
I put one of these kits on a 2003 Gary Fischer with disc brakes, upgraded to larger rotors on the front. I'm 61 and in pretty good shape but man this thing allows me to go to places I really couldn't or wouldn't go on a regular bike plus I still get a decent workout (nothing like I would on a regular one for sure) but again, I can go places and for way longer then I would otherwise. Its pretty freaking cool. Sometimes I just like to be out exploring and not so much wanting a killer workout and where I live it gets so hot and humid that a regular bike would just be awful during the hot months.
This is why e-bikes rock
@@Miles26545 agree 100%
This will be good for my long distance riding plan, especially to climb up hill and ascending road
Nice kickstand! 😉
Absolutely love the love stand. That’s awesome lol
thank you MC,help a lot
Good idea, definatley be better for road and flat trails, anything more than that and its going to get battered by everything. Just like your frame does. Sounds like it will pull nicely though!
I put one on a used 2009 cannondale downhill bike a few years ago with a 38 tooth front sprocket and its awesome. I have a battery in a backpack and the xt90 plugs under the seat. I used the EGO 56V 5AH battery from home depot. Get an eggrider computer and you can use your phone to change everything.
I also use Ego 56v batteries on my Bafang BBS02 ebike. In addition, I use Greenworks 60v batteries (5aH) but you have to be careful as the system will shutdown for over voltage protection (Error code 07) when anything over 60v is detected. I have over 1200 miles on the ebike as of Dec. 2022 and it still runs like new.
Drivetrain is 3-speed Nexus IGH. Actually, you can do fine with just a single speed sprocket. I wouldn't think you'd ever need more that 5 speeds if you're using an ebike.
@@nathangant7636 Thanks for the info. But the system voltage is 48 v and i guess it is ok to use 56 v battery. do you use just one battery?
You didn't have to reprogram the 48V Bafang motor & controller to run on a 56V battery? How did you connect wires to the EVO battery's terminals ? and was splicing needed to connect those wires into the Bafang motor wires ? With 5 Amps what was your range ? Thanks
Ive had no problem going to 56V I read somewhere that the speed controller is fine with it . Its the AMPs that will blow the controller. I set my max amps to 20 amps with the programmer, i forget but 28amps is actual MAX. so 56x20=1120watts. I have it geared with a 38 tooth Lekki on the front for so many reasons. I 3dprinted a battery holder with aluminum contacts that looks very close to what the EGO charger looks like. You could repurpose an extra charger if you dont have a 3dprinter.
I've been using a 36V 500W conversion kit from BAFANG (looks identical to the one in the video) since Sep 2018 as my preferred daily commuter, they are excellent!!! I used a little frame bag to hide all the spare cabling & connectors so everything looks nice & neat! STRONGLY RECOMMEND!!
What do you mean frame bag
How much was it?
@@lennypen1978 Frame bags, they're little triangular shaped bags that go on the inside of the frame. Usually for storing things. But I;m guessing he's cut a hole out of the bottom of his and stuck it on to hide the battery. Just google bike frame bag, there shouldn't be any shortage of results it's what they're actually called.
@@benpar8120 Range from like 250 to a grand. I'd say most of the ones under 5-600 aren't really worth it. Will be quite a low wattage AKA reduction in power top speed and acceleration and weight capacity. If you do bump tracks, down hil or anything really that requires a bit of a drop in you need to be careful as these things are going to stick right out
@@user-ic3kt1eq1p correct
Great review, thank you !
You convinced me. I need to find this motor now
Nice Thank You for posting 💯💫👍
Great video, thanks!
I've now done three of these and they are easy to install (as long as you get the right bike with the correct crank size) and they are bomb proof and brilliant to use
Wym about crank size ?
@@yourmom2819 The width of the bike's crank needs to be within the limits of what the Bafang can be fitted into
@@MikeKleinsteuber how much does an entire kit cost ? Motor , display , battery ?
@@ride30r2die At the time I did my last one, around 2019, it cost about £450 plus the cost of the bike. I don't know the current amount and have been looking at alternative hub mounted motors. Just for a change and to try them out. They are cheaper but not necessarily as good. Bafang go on forever...
What bike did you used for this install?
The new display looks cool
great video.... did you o all your speed testing in the highest gear? also were you able to power alone wheelie it in the highest or lowest gear?
Excellent! Thanks for sharing.
Top tip, for mounting the battery use 'rivnuts' as only two bolts to hold the battery isn't enough. I've been running this exact set up for around 7 months with no problems since using extra bolts to hold my battery, which is a 52v version.
Also the gear change sensor is a must. It'll save your chain and all other drive components. I've also put on a 203 front rotor which is very wise as my bike does 59kph on the flat, standard 160 rotors struggle, I've also a 160 fully floating rotor on the rear.
Whys your battery upside down? If you have it on the right way up water won't go into it.
I built so many kits and even switched out kits from one bike to another four or five times so I started using Velcro to hold batteries on any kind of frame and is easy to install and un install. And I have never had a battery come lose or come off. plus no rattle! I buy battery bricks and armor them myself and install a power switch to conversion kit to keep the battery from popping when plugging it to the kit.
Dal Venable could be an idea as the standard method of bolting it onto the water bottle mount has only two bolts, which on an aluminium frame definitely isn't enough.
i seen also a video where they put a velcrostrap around the frame and battery to make sure the battery stays put, i bet u could fit some little pieces of an innertube, to absorb the shocks while driving...:)
@@nudgeA7 Actually I armor my battery then add the stick on 3M Velcro to both the frame and the battery, then add Velcro straps. It becomes part of the bike won't move or rattle. And I can hang a battery pretty much anywhere on the bike that is out of my way.
How much did you pay for the entire kit with all the modifications?
Thanks for the in-depth review content creator. Lol hugs man don’t mind the haters!😂
Aww man that thing looks fun.
Nice nature made kick stand you got there! 😜
You know it son,
I had a similar 250W motor installed on my old mountainbike and it still works but there were no shifting or braking sensors available and this the drive train receives an unhealthy amount of wear and tear from the 90nm motor.
I've since switched to a hub drive ebike which I think will likely be easier to maintain but at only 700 miles in I don't know that yet.
Question : how do I determine which kit will fit my bike ?
Also, is the source you bought it from a solid place to buy the item? I’ve never bought anything from them.
Nice conversion! 😊
Video is great information. Thank you.
Great video on the conversion kit. I would like to know what model display you are using. Thank you.
Thanks for the vid. I'm disappointed that the BB shaft is a square tapered design. Ditching your modern cranks and downgrading makes no sense. Another concern is the cheap chainring. The chain will drop as soon as you hit a bump or even when back pedaling, so right from the start, one needs to replace it with a narrow wide aftermarket ring.
Cracking bit of kit. Bike moped👍
Sweet kickstand
Hi great video can you share the power settings that you put in the programming of your engine? Thank🙂
Which display is that? My son is about to convert one of our older bikes for a school project and we picked out that exact model. We were leaning to the 850C display but yours looks really cool.
How good is the breaking system will it stop on a dime or is it equal to a chain driven normal bike?
Would a mid-drive conversion like this work well with an internal geared rear hub? I have a nice 8-speed hub on one of my city/hybrid bikes, and I would love to be able to "electrify" it.
I also have a reverse trike that I think this would be amazing on!
Nice editing! friendly tip, your saddle nose ideally will be slightly tipped down, just a smidge for comfort and efficieny, happy trails!
Fla/GA ? Are you near Tally or Thomasville? Loved the video by the way! Thanks
I wanna put one of these in a omafiet! Ultimate comfort commuter sleeper!
I’m sorry but it’s not clear to me which battery you used. The link takes me to only a no battery setup. If I were to buy the battery separately, which battery specs do I need for it to work?
How long will the average ride last on good roads without steep hills?
Amazing Motor ! Greenergy Store is my No.1 Choice to buy bafang motor
Hi can you tell me the model number of the display you've got there. There are loads of options and I don't know which one to get.
From bike to moped-lite.
Nice kickstand
Would this work on a single speed?
This is awesome. I might try this, and put a throttle lever, so it kills when I get go.
does this kit have the torque to pull wheelies or do you really haft to assist it ? because all the others I've tried don't have the torque and I don't want to upgrade for speed but loose torque
Clean install. Cable management has been a problem for me with the BBS02. I have about 2 ft of extra cables. I tried to neatly tuck it under the motor and also neatly attach it to the uptube but both options are not good. What did you do with your extra cable?
GREAT VIDEO! My question is can you use the motor assist for walking speeds, like 1 to 2 mph? Or is level one automatically 9 to 10mph? I am converting a wheel chair that is built for trail use and made from mountain bike parts but needs to go walking speeds.
What?? Lol
Hello, did you manage to do that? I am also interested to build EV wheelchair, have you researched already?
Great build. Someone had asked about the rock gardens, and that is the biggest problem with a bafang is the lower ground clearance. I found it interesting that you said it would fit in the triangle, not sure the bafang would fit there, That would be interesting if it would, and deal with the battery afterwards. Great build, love my marlin 7 with a BBS02.
Lol if anything the motor will protect the chain and chainring. The motor is solid. Well at least the 1000w. 750w Looks like a toy. I have yet to hit it on a rock so I'm just talking out my ... until then.
@Rad Ham Don't think the Trek has room there. For bikes that do that would be the best spot for it.
@@Eric_Tennant Nah, The lower clearance in many a scenarios would have me off the bike or bugger the full thing up or both.
Amazing bike ❤❤
Are you using the factory settings with it? Or did you reprogram it? Change the settings and that thing will really wake up.
What about chain and brake upgrades to deal with torque and speed?
So does it pull via the crank, eg,so that you can use the bikes gears?
If your bike gets wet, hit it with the leaf blower when you get home to blow off all the water. It does a great job.
Installation vid please. How long does it take to charge? How many miles can you do on a single charge?
I bought a cable where I can plug into the software with my phone and use an app I downloaded to change the percentages of power on each pedal assist. So like 5% on 1, 10% on 2 etc. That way you can fine tune each PAS mode to your needs. Going 10 mph on PAS 1 is too fast in my opinion, it should be more like 4 or 5 mph. I also changed out the 46 tooth front gear mine came with to a 32 tooth as it would hit almost 40 MPH at top speed which was nuts, now it only hits 30ish.
grest vid! How did you capture the riding videos of the camera shooting back at you?
I have question, do you think my carbon fiber mtb frame will hold this e-bike conversion kit?
Actually, the BBS02-750 has 120Nm of torque - not just 100nm as you stated. To quote their website:
"Powerful, fast, and quiet Bafang BBS02B street-legal mid-drive motor. This motor is rated at 750 watts but puts out a 1470 watts peak when asked and does it more quietly than any e-bike on the market. With 120 Nm of torque, it has 50% more torque and 100% more power than the motors currently sold in factory e-bikes."
Bloody fantastic!
How/where do I reroute the brake and derailleur cables under the bottom bracket on my Kona Rove?
Informative thanks
i like the stand.
Luv the upside down battery!
Yeah, the battery is too big and wont fit if installed correctly, gotta be smarter than the system
@@MCMTB It will fit the correct way round just drill a hole and use rivnuts/ Its very straight forward and no need for velcro straps.
Super cool
For a given power level, when you are pedaling, is the assistance a constant power amount or does it vary by bike speed etc?
Nice ride 👌
It looks cool
Excellent! How about installing a kit on a trike? On the back wheels. Cam it be done?
I pedal old-school most the time this looks light enough to cover cross country hopefully.
Is this reliable and powerful enough I can use it for years on my 54 country round the world Bucket List journey? Does one carrying 100lbs of baggage break chains very often as I heard one with various ebike systems can break chains. For repairs are parts available fairly readily worldwide? What is a average price a bike shop would charge to install this? Thanks for a great video!
How do your tires not pop? Mine popped the first time I used my ebike kit but I’m assuming I didn’t pump it enough? I had a hand pump and not a gauge so I didn’t know the psi
How is this driving the sprocket, could you show that in the video?
I wanna build a ebike but any battery wouldn't fit on my oddly shaped downtube since there's the holes and the I'd need to drill holes and add rivet nuts.
Yea Ive got a BBSD with 48volt pack. With a basic 7 speed cassette big gear of 34tooth and 42 front sprocket l can climb crazy uphill.
Awesome!
I recognize that foliage and shrubbery definitely Florida
How were you mounting it - if you have made video of mounting process, please post the link. Warm greetings. Michael, central Poland.
Hi Michael , I installed a BBSHD 1000 watts on my mountain bike , go to cyber bikes on you tube , it's a shop in Australia where the tech Fillippe as great video's on install. Install is simple just make sure that the chainring does not touch the motor when you install it. Get some small spacers to obtain a perfect chain line. You'll also need to contend with the motor brackets loosening which can be fixed with clamps to secure the motor to bike frame. Get one it's totally worth it you'll be amazed on performance especially the BBSHD 1000 watt.
Once I am not able to commute on muscle power anymore, I'll definitely consider converting my bike. But that'll most likely take a loooong time, so luckily not doing it yet.
Can this be put on a tricycle and can you buy a lower hp motor for city biking?
Hi Mark, I won a bamboo bike and would like to convert to e bike. Would appreciate a detailed video of how to and another one which helps me decide what components to buy. I am a total beginner and not that great with tools.
“All I have to do is remove my old bottom bracket” 😂
Is there ability to get some ignition system? So that strangers can't start the motor. Similar to escooters? Like a key or a knob.
Mid drive is great as you get the advantage of gears, but i feel like it will increase likelihood of bad shifting while going uphill. I live in wales with very steep hills, so I think a 1000W for a 120kg guy would be a better option. Perhaps a 1000Kw on the back wheel and 300 W on the front wheel. More hill climbing power and 2 wheel drive for offroading in sand and snow.
I went with a hub drive because I'm new to e bikes and figured I would destroy the chain with poorly timed shifts on hills. Once I get some miles under my belt I'll probably switch to a mid drive. Mids have the advantage of keeping the motor in the sweet spot but for beginners hubs are more forgiving.
@@biffmalibu3733 I think a Gear sensor will help with that problem.
so with this type of conversion it powers the crank so that you can use the gears? This is what I want. I weigh approx 77kg.
