  • A look at a recent build I did locally. The bike was purchased used locally and the ebike kit is from Amazon (see link below). For under $2,000 you get a bike that performs and rides like it is above $3,000. The power and range of the BBS02 kits are fantastic and are a great value alternative to fully manufactured ebikes. The biggest plus is you get a frame and components that are much higher quality than a typically under $2,000 ebike.

      Tim, it sure was. I was inclined to tell the guy it was going to need extended testing before I handed over the keys. He is super happy with the setup. Cheers!

    We're building fatty bafang with the S02. Can you tell us which kickstand you inststalled and what changes you made to center the pedals and to get a good chainline. Thanks

    • @ElectronSurfer
      @ElectronSurfer  Před 11 měsíci

      I didn't buy the kickstand for this one since I built it for someone. You can use standard bottom bracket shims, amzn.to/45sidvo. I have been lucky to have pretty good chainlines on all my builds. If you need to get the chain closer to the frame Lekkie has nice offset chainrings.

    hello, I would like to buy a kona wo 2022 to install a bbshd 1000w 120mm, but I wonder if it's possible because of the very wide rear shape of the frame which accepts 4.8 tires, especially with the bafang chainring in 46 teeth... what do you think? could it be complicated? Thanks for your help!

    • @ElectronSurfer
      @ElectronSurfer  Před 2 lety +2

      Hey thanks for the question. The conversion is definitely possible, the issue you will run into is if you can get a 46-tooth on the front. Looking at that frame I'd be surprised if anything over 30 teeth will fit. You may be able to shim the chainring out but then you are going to run into chain line issues. You can run a small ring up front but the BBSHD doesn't really work well on under 14 tooth rear cogs so you could be in a low gearing conundrum that may or may not work for your use. I'd try to find a frame in person if you could, if you can measure the offset from the drive side of the bottom bracket to a few points, you should be able to figure out your options. I hope that is helpful.

    what is the bike's bottom bracket size? I thought bbs02 only fit 68-73mm bottom brackets, not fat bikes.

    • @ElectronSurfer
      @ElectronSurfer  Před 2 lety

      You can get the BBS02 in any size, this one was 100mm, they did send the wrong one first so it is a special request for the non 68-73 one.

      @@specagent999 It is a weird process. You can either try the "email seller" route or note it when you order it. They are supposed to message you after the order to confirm bottom bracket size and sometimes chainring teeth. I only installed this kit, I didn't buy it. I will look into it some more.

      The chemistry should not create any smells like a lead acid battery would. A burnt controller or BMS will create a smell, what does it smell like?

      None to date on this build. The only issues I have seen to date have been 1 blown controller by a guy who rides his HD off-road on tons of hills. Other than that, for me, both the HD and 02 have been great.
