Thanks for all the info :)

Do you have a video tutorial on how to do this, im a bit of a beginner but a very fast visual learner so if you do please drop a link, cheers for the info!

Hey Gordon! I'm glad I could help! Come back soon for more videos

Just swap your current controller with the Ludicrous controller from Lunacycle or the phaserunner from Grin, and your BBSHD with be 3k watt too!

Me too, installed my bbshd on my fattie yesterday

Just bought my BBS03 and installed my self for Christmas. Just finished installing gear sensor and hydraulic brake sensors. Can't wait to ride it to my mums house which is about 20km away. :)

I run one on a Catrike Expedition, with a 53T chainring and a 15 speed SRAM XO 10-50T setup. Damn thing can growl up any hill and is wicked fast.

@@kirkjones9639 well I am slowly doing the video shoot of my build for my Bent channel (Ranging Rover). And yes, I am getting very specific as to How i do each step, and what tools are needed, etc.. its a nice slow project. I still have to buy the battery and 2 cables to finish it, but this COV shutdown has put a crimp in the finances..

I just can't get with the visuals of recumbent riding and the pointing and sniggering from high schoolers is quite off putting. He who rides recumbents is likely he who wears his bossier halfs knickers on a Saturday Eve. Just saying.

Nice to have you Bruno! Love your videos, anyone watching the BoltonEbikes channel should subscribe to you too!

Bolton Ebikes hahaaaaa yeahhh I’m watching your videos here... you’re helping lot of people out there... keep up te good work =]

Thanks! Keep up with those crazy powered whatever you're making!

10kw is 10,000 Watts LOL.

@@jayryan7473 Yeah....Ouch, that is a little high! Fixing mistake now.

Thanks!

EggRider is the best . Its in depth tweaking really makes you feel in control. Especially being able to control throttle ramp. Also it is tiny . I am into minimalism when it comes to the display , small is discreet and doesnt shout out 'steal me'

@@MYANTIHEROES I agree. The only downside, is I don't think it reads the battery with the same precision as the Cycle Analyst, although, once you've properly tested your battery, and are clear on it's power, limitations etc, I suppose this isn't such a problem.

I might have to look into a Rohloff . I switched to single speed because I was snapping too many 8-10 speed chains which cannot stand the torque of the motor. Also the mechanics of a chain flying through a very delicate derailleur at 30-35 mph whilst hammering over road potholes or off road is somewhat scary , the chain below was flapping around jumping off all the time. A chain guide is crucial for this and they attach to the bottom bracket , ISCG05 for most modern MTB or just make your own to stop the slack from the oversized long MTB derailleurs. I use a Paul Melvin tensioner instead of a derailleur and a Connex single speed chain otherwise carrying a chain splitter with you is a must for when you are 10 miles from home and your 10 speed chain bends and snaps . 10 speed chains by design are very weak because the design has to be so thin to go through the derailleur and also fit onto the thin gears on the cassette.

@@mick2d2 Yes and I run a 52v battery , so I don't look at percentage power left , I look at voltage because most displays are made for 48v batteries. The EggRider has a very interesting feature where you can immobilize the power with your cell phone. I havn't used this feature because I use a 6 pound Kryptonite chain and motorbike disc padlock every time I lock my bike up . I live in LA and its the new Bicycle theft capital of the USA .

@@MYANTIHEROES The Rohloff is quite a chunk of money short term, I think all told, with the wheel build and all the other bits and pieces it worked out to about 1400€. Saying that, I've broken two Shimano Saints (about 140€ each) and a couple of cheaper derailleurs before fitting the Rohloff. Once you badly bend a 10 speed derailleur, it's almost impossible to get it straight enough to change through all the gears again properly. I did this with both Saints, when the sacrificial piece on the frame of my bike, where the derailluer is fixed broke, sending them into the wheel, which mashed the derailluers up pretty badly. I've heard people running the Rohloff for over 100K kilometres. It's also designed to be able to be fixed, with some sacrificial elements inside that are designed to break before the gears do. It's also great to be able to do sudden huge shifts up or down, although you do need to adjust to easing off the power for the changes. You can't grind it through the gears under power, like you can with a derailleur. You also get constant chain tension, perfect chain line and can use much sturdier chains. It gives you a huge range of gears too, more than you need for the BBSHD. I've done about 5000km on mine so far. I tried the locking feature on the Eggrider once and couldn't get back in for a while, so I deactivated it. I never really let my bike out of my sight when I'm out and about, so don't need it. I use the Watt hour reading on the Cycle Analyst as my "fuel gauge".

if you have one try leaving the front derailer on as a guide. or yes the chain guides are a good chance too.

On ebay or amazon were a lot of fat bikes with price tag between 600-1500€. Only question which grade gear they have. Somewhere here on youtube was another video about the bufang mid motors. Everything regarding e-kit what was described in this video already included in the package. On that videos people put sensor close to back shifter, less to cut pipe channels, but potentially more dirt there.

Patrick, that particular screen is not compatible with the KT controllers, but I do have a color display, the KT-LCD8H that is. As far as an internal gear set within the hub, Bafang does not have one. It is certainly possible however as I test rode a bike with it at Interbike this year!

A small amount, but can certainly be pedaled like a regular bike.

Depends on the terrain I'd say. 5 speed would function, but definitely wouldn't give me the range I'd like to have. In other areas it would be sufficient.

Agree. Brake cut off unnecessary.

No the bbshd actually still powers for a few seconds after u stopped peddling, you can adjust this with programming cable but i'll tell you from the point of someone whos had bbshd for 3yrs its helped me but saying that, if you have powerful brakes u can live without them, i believe some countries including uk require them.

That I'd a separate item. And I do plan on a bike giveaway again at 10k subs. :)

More ah = more range. No downside aside from cost and weight. Speedometer sensor is necessary on a mid drive like this. Won't work without it.

Put a battery on the chain stays on each side and run them in series. Keeps the center of gravity low.

Perhaps we will know with the new mountain bike coming up!

U do get issues, lining up may require u to true the hanger alignment but i find most often its just cable tension slack if they don't change as good, the chain ring wears the most.

I added brake cutoff switches to these.

If adjusted properly they'll work.

Make sure everything spins freely and you're not running in a gear too high from a stop. Should run easily on a 20" wheel.

Only £1000 max won't break the bank

you have to buy the cable and download bafang software. Connect the cable to display connector of your motor and usb port on PC.

speed unlocked means that it removes the street legal speed and power limit.

Time has passed now, did you get upto speed?

@@markweatherall7437 I did yes but it never was enough for me. I ended up getting a Sur Ron X and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!

@@lukescholey5872 how did you remove the street legal speed?

Inner Sanctum I don't see any reason for that. There are limits to how fast a bicycle should go. You do realize they make electric motorcycles intended for higher speeds right? Whole different ball game than what this video is about.

I built a similar bike but slightly bigger battery at 25 amp hours. I can do 60-80 km accross varied terrain including decent hills. This is full throttle use only. Using peddle assist you could go all day easily.

Install a Bafang on a Catrike and use a B.O.B. trailer. Worked for me.

@@kirkjones9639 what is a catrike

@@johnhoward7298 Recumbent trike. Great for us old guys, that have heart problems, too many back surgeries. There a lot of different brands and price points. After trying a bunch of the different ones out, I chose the Catrike Expedition. On my 5th one (Candy Purple) now. catrike.com and for a bunch of people who can answer any questions bentrideronline.com

@@kirkjones9639 thanks I understand what You're talking about now ( I'd get killed on one ... My Wife would LOVE for Me to get one though )

@@johnhoward7298 You're multiple times safer on a recumbent trike, as opposed to a bike. Just don't tell your wife. An odd thing I've noticed over the years, car drivers for some reason they get a kick out of us being on the road. They wave at you, give you all kinds of room, I've even had them hold up traffic, so I could get out of a parking lot. Take yer life in your hands, riding a bike as far I'm concerned.

Would love to know the same as well. I can't imagine it would, but it would be nice to know

@@MoyesAdventures At the bare minimum it will explode. The whole world feels the fun is worth the risk.

No it doesnt

Feel free to email me at kyle@velomobileshop.com for information on current bikes.

It really needs one I have caught my trousers twice in the front ring . First time I had to ask some kids to help me getting my trousers of the teeth and chain as I laid on my side. Lol remember the chain wheel can’t rotate backwards. Beware ...

Probably half a dozen times a year ,if daily riding of 50+ miles

@@paulschmidtke425 then your bike set up is not corelated Possible using the wrong gears when tackling incline And using throttle taking on steep hill . Do you have a gear shift sensor ? That would give your chain much needed protection

The stock one is Really heavy and ugly... And its 46Teeth

I asked the same question but it appears he's ignoring us? :( Did you find out what number teeth lekkie ring for higher speeds?

@@markweatherall7437 More teeth equals higher top speed so I'm assuming it's 46T.

I'd still recommend it. With a mid-drive and internal hub my experience is that letting off the power is still the best choice.

completely wrong! internal - external, both gears need to have no stress from the motor while shifting.

This has been asked twice now. Can't see any reply! I have a BBSHD with 42T chainring. (9 speed rear cassette 11t-32t). I can't anywhere near that speed on mine. Mine is about 25mph I think- it goes up hills great).

52v - 17.5ah battery

@@diversifyingincome6986 just seen your reply bro, thanks.

Depends on what you need or want. QS does make good powerful hub motors, but not the "best" in all situations.

Bolton Ebikes then whos make the best motor then?

@@chevyssboy89 who makes the best tires? Depends on what you need. Off-road? On road? Hills? Top speed? Lightweight? What is it that you want?

Bolton Ebikes i want on road, off road, high high top speed... basically something to play with have lots of fun with racing!!! Sir thanks
