This is one of the clearest instruction videos I've ever seen.

Very helpful and professional "How to do it" tutorial! Thank you - well done!

Wow, you made it look pretty simple, even it’s hard for people like me to install. Looking forward to buy one kit. Thank you.

Great job, very thorough and clear instructions!

I just this week installed the BBHSD 1000w on a 1999 Schwinn Searcher GS. Already ridden 60 miles! What fun!

So I got it all together, installed, & working. Removing the bottom bracket from my bike was by far the hardest part. Reinstalling the chain and the gear shifters was a pain, the video doesn't provide much detail on that. Other than that, pretty alright video. I am definitely satisfied with the kit after installation.

I just finished installing a BBS02 on my 2008 Trek 6000. I then wrote a review of it which I am going to share with you fine ladies and gentlemen. *Subject:* Most excellent, except... *Msg Body:* Overall, I am quite happy. The system works and works well. Installation is not nearly as easy as they make it look in the video, but it never is. I do find the following annoying though: 1) No PDF installation manual. I was working in an area with no internet access, so I basically had to memorize the video, then go out and work on the bike. Needless to say, mistakes were made. 2) A part substitution was made in the package that I received such that the screw than held the speed sensor magnet in place had a security Torx head. Most people have never even heard of a security Torx, let alone have one it there tool kit. This necessitated a trip to the hardware store. 3) All of the electrical wires come out of the bottom of the motor, this makes then easily susceptible to damage if you actually take your bike off road. 4) I would have preferred a metal chain guard.

Best I've seen so far wish this outfit was available in my nearest bike shop Thanks anyway

Very nice general installation. It may be beyond the scope of this video, but it will help many if one goes into the tricks of the installation. Getting the bottom bracket correctly shimmed with washers and spacers is vital. I think wire management is an extra plus. Thanks

Excellent, very straight forward.

Very good instructions

Freakin phenomenal instructions

That was a nicely done video, thanks. But for your future information, there is normally no reason to break the chain as the front derailleur nearly always has a simple screw holding it closed and can be easily opened. It is also does not need removing and can help as a guide for the chain by leaving it there. The other point is that you went to the trouble of removing the bolt on the front V brake instead of just releasing the noodle as you normally would.

Couple things I wanted to point out. Some crank arms are held on with Hex bolts rather than Allen head bolts. In those cases it's almost always a 14mm. Also DO NOT over tighten that Outer Black Locknut/Beauty ring. It has very thin Aluminum threads and you will strip the threads on it if you crank on it. Only needs to be snugged tight enough to keep the main lock ring behind it from backing off.

Properly explained. One detail though. At 4:15, I would have fit the motor as close as possible to the frame because the rotation of the motor is going to that direction. I've seen some people using a piece of mid soft plastic to make some clearance for the gear shift cable.

You are the beast thank you.

really easy to follow along. thanks.

Pretty nice and clear.

The 750WATT kit is great value.. I would locktite the bottom bracket locking ring but otherwise pretty spot on apart from some better cable routing...

An excellent instructional video! Do you have a summer school workshop?

Great quality video!! Do you have any plans to sell the Ultra?

I would like to see more information on wire management, as these kits normally have a bit of excess wire. I'm looking for neat "hidden" solutions.

excellent!!

Nice video. I wish mine was going together that easily. Most of it did, but the battery mount on mine can't work like it does in this video. My water bottle cage mounts are so low on the triangle that the only way to fit the battery in there while the slide mount is screwed to those cage mount holes is to mount it upside down. And doing it that way means I have to insert the battery upside down and then slide it up, rather than down. But even then, I can't quite get the battery to slide all the way on. It hits the top bar of the triangle about 1/4" short of sliding all the way on. I suspect the power contacts won't fully connect this way. I am going to have to fabricate something to make it so I can mount the battery normally. Not quite sure what that's going to look like yet.

Very good thanks

Thank you Ebike Essential this really helped me install my bafang motor 👍 I have one issue with my install and that's the 8mm allen screw that is fitted on the pedal crank arm. Everytime i ride the bike that screw unscrews itself and the crank arm gets loose. Have you ever experienced that and what's the solution to fix it.

Can you make a video on adding two 48v/21ah batteries to a Foxbat 1000w motor? Parallel attachments also and area mounting perhaps. I have two batteries now and want to utilize both at the same time. thanks

Hola el motor esta limitado, tiene un límite para la velocidad ?

Hello, thank you for your video. I am wondering about the adaptability of this engine with my bike. I have a distance of 78mm and not 73mm of length of tube in which to insert the bottom bracket mark. Can you tell me if I have to take a 90mm bafang motor or if the 73mm will be fine? Thanks in advance, Jean-Louis

Step -1 for me: hammered and heated the hell out of my crank arms until they gave up and came out. Good old torture technique!

Excellent! I say no more

I’d like to see them make a video using my bike as a doner.

Hello dear, friend I applied for brushless one but I want to stop it before it comes to me for a bafang ok😅😊 enjoy your ride

My bike has a ISCG bottom bracket with this system still work?

Just finished installation on recumbent trike. All good except for throttle. Female connector on throttle cable and female connectors on motor cables. Bought male to male cable , connected, not working. Suggestions ??

So I've got a 750w with a 48v battery pack and I've done 4,100kms on it over 3.5 years...mtn bike with knob tyres. The battery is starting to lose charge fairly quickly now and it'll drain to 50% after 10 to 15km. The last 1000km I've been using throttle mainly because i damaged the display/ mode button with water washing the bike and i can only get mode 1 or 2 assist... hence the throttle. My question is have i had a good run on the battery with the life of this bike or should have expected more? The battery is still getting me around but yeah charging it again at maybe 40-30% after 10kms now... so looking at a new battery soon anyway and... will the motor give me a lot more life... going to get a new display to try and resolve my throttle only issue as well. Feedback would be appreciated.

I have a BBSHD with the Ludicrous controller from Luna Cycles. Pushing around 3k watt on a stretch cruiser (see pic as avatar). With 8 spd IGH from Sturmey it gets around 50mph. Highly recommend the Bafang motors, but would only recommend buying from Luna. They are N Americas #1 seller, and have some "upgrades" nobody else sells. Love mine.

Please could you convert a recumbent too

what if you have mag wheels

Very good, what happens if you have hydraulic discs?

What is the minimum crank diameter for this to install thru crank on bike frame?

Is installing the throttle needed? Of does it still work without the throttle? And what kind of sensor is used? A torque sensor or different?

Would this fit into an eccentric adjuster on the front BB of a tandem?

Looks very easy but of course it is not. What I was still in the dark about was... what happens to the pre-existing nice Shimano gears? He replaces the front one, but what about rear gears 7-9 of the little gear wheels. What happens to those? And how are we supposed to use those gears with the motorized version? And how about tying up the loose wires all over the place? This left a lot unanswered. Shame.

What you do with the front deraileur and cable if removed? Cable tied to frame?No need to remove and break chain? Will it cause friction with motor?. My new ibiky rampage fat tire looks like its integrated hard to remove deraileur and also bought plastic guide I may not need.

Nice tutorial, I just do not care for the speed sensor attachment, appears shady if it were just bumped. Hose clamps would appear more secure and stable.

That was superb.....but how to get the components? where can i get it....i am in Malaysia.......Pls advise me....

Do you have the shift sensor tutorial video please?

Excellente vidéo. Gros plans sur les opérations délicates à effectuer. Je suis français et ne parle pas l'Anglais mais tellement explicite que les mots sont secondaires. Merci beaucoup.

Is it possible to connect rear and headlight to the switch?

All sounds great but. ........And it's a big but. The Bafang motor will probably need force and probably a lump hammer sort of force to fit into the crank case. My kit had wires that were far too long for my bike and it was difficult to arrange them neatly. Also as there is no standardisation in the world of motors and batteries they will probably need entirely new fittings to get them to join together which was a real pain. That all said, it's worth the effort as the bike is simply fantastic to ride. Particularly when you have hills wherever you look.The 750w motor makes mincemeat of any hill. And I get 30 miles plus with my 13ah battery. It'll transform your cycling.

you need 6 inch hose clamp to support your battery

Can you tell me the length of the cables? I'm planning to install the system on the rear BB in a tandem bike and I'm worried the cables might be to short. If needed, there is a way to extend the cables with some basic electronic skills?

Some of these steps will present you with enormous and unfathomable misery. The bottom bracket is a nightmare waiting for you.

3:15 your bike has that cable that goes to the back wheel just like my bike. I see that's not a problem, the motor has a little room to spare between it and the bike frame, right ? So no problems installing ?

Hola, es posible hacer más pequeños los cables , recortar

Do you know of a supplier for an adapter when the bike has a larger diameter bottom bracket ie.41mm

Where did the shift lever for the rear derailleur go ?

Will this work on a foldable bike, it has a metal hinge as a stand where the bafang motor should be at?

How long does it take to install?

Ya I say "Good Job"

what's performance difference in 750 and 1000

Can’t quite figure out why there was a need to completely unlink the chain. Maybe it’s a bike specific thing, but this is the only video I’ve seen that does it.

Does the derailleur cable assembly "above the Crank" go back on the bike after the Bafang unit is installed?

Hi, I see you have different sizes on the crank part, how do I know which one to order?

WOW ebike

how do the brakes work? why are they wired? thank you

Do you think it would fit on the bottom bracket of an older Cannondale MTB frame from the 26 inch wheel era?

Is it just the motor ? Is a controller also used ? Battery ?

Good video , but this kit needs motor mounts 1-2 inch longer so motor is NOT at a down angle reducing clearance from underneath this happens on MOST bikes.

What if you have hydraulic brakes?

Can you delete the speed sensor?

I have two of their hand held radios, a single charge lasts for months, the Motorola units can’t make a single day.

Boa tarde. Mande-me um link por favor, onde eu posso comprar este conjunto. Obrigado.

need to tighten lock ring very tight

These don't have throttles?

Does it matter where on the wheel you place the magnet for the speed sensor? From my thinking, depending on where you place the sensor, will affect the speed that the sensor will pick up.

Hello! Can I use with Magura HS11 V-brake system?

What if I have disk brakes?

I have had issues with this motor coming loose after tightting it with the correct torque and additionally applying Loctite to the grey Locknut. Raised ridges are facing the bicycle and are bitting into the frame but after some time the motor comes loose. It's a very annoying problem I have that prevents me from enjoying an otherwise great kit! Any suggestions people?

Why remove the chain?

Will the 750 & 1000 fit on a Trek 700 ?

👍

I don't have a water bottle holder. Does this mean that I have to drill holes into the frame to hold the battery mount? I can do that but I'd rather not, doesn't the battery mount come with optional straps or some other non-invasive fix?

How can I get these kits in Nigeria?

What's the point of removing the chain??

I wish i had the money to install BBSHD to my FA bmx racing bike...

Very nice video. I am from 🇮🇳 India. How can I order this kit? What will be the price of this Kit? Is the motor peddle assist?

Puoi fare la versione in lingua italiano i costi del kit e dove ordinarlo

Do you know if this will work on a cargo bike like a Babboe curve?

Do u guy ship it to India.... Please let Me know the price including shipping cost

question is it waterproof like can i wash it ? or do i have to take all of it off and would it be better to buy a shitty bike rather than use my only good bike?

What speed can go and what about the price

What about the gear shifting cables?

Do you have a shop nearby Chicago area( zip code 60532), if so I want to buy a kit and get some help to install it. thanks!

How to install this on my Fatbike? is there any way to install ?

This tutorial failed to mention some basic things that a beginner could make such as installing the chainring the wrong way which would cause the bike chain to derail, also the crank arms are labeled as right and left, if you break open a chain you should use a master link instead of putting the pin back in

What if you don't have spoke wheels and have 3 spoke mag wheels?????

It's a bit unrealistic how everything just comes apart from the bike so easily like it's all already loose. In reality everything is pretty solid, especially the bottom bracket and crank removal, as parts have bound together over time and use. The adverts telling you it only takes two hours?.... yeah right, to do it properly and neatly with maximum cable tidying, your looking at 4 to 5 hours, especially if you have to drill and insert new bolt holes into the frame depending on which battery you buy. Because of these issues, you'll find yourself buying more and more tools you just don't have. I convert peoples bikes as a paid service, and you wouldn't beleive the state of some of the bikes I'm given. I've had to use a heat gun on a bottom bracket before to get it to start unscrewing. New chains have to be bought, cable connection for battery and motor mostly dont match, some cheap derailleurs are not up to the task, and ALWAYS buy and fit a gear censor, without this, your drivetrain and chain will not last very long....just some of the unstated basics.

What's the green connector for ?
