I think it would be safer if he had more power to safely get in and out of traffic. When he was in those circles he was being a bit of an obstacle.

I prefer gas, more power and some noise to catch my presence.

@@Nickael7 but yet you watch an ebike video, I think you're an ebike lover in denial, it's okay to admit it

@@karoslif9818 ..well give him a ebike that can do 160 mph i enjoy flipping the bird at car drivers that wont let me past on a 700cc engine they can hear but they just get jelous. any bike that does that speed on a little whimpy chain no way how about direct drive ebikes

Mine arrived today. 750w 42v. I got the usb cable for programming but am thinking if it is neseccary. There must be something to prevent it from going faster when right out of the box. Maybe the quick menu should work for not stalling at 40. I,m not sure if it will stall at a preset.

Stressful? As I watched, I was thinking that it looks like a relaxing commute to work. Riding wherever you want. Not stressing out while you sit in traffic, worrying about being late. Just ride between the cars that are in a traffic jam and be on your way.

согласен! это оно))

See the videos of how people use it in china.

Yep ebikes have the car and oil industries really scared. So here in Europe there massive legal artificial inbuilt restrictions on ebike power and speed. Funny how on cars there are no such in built restrictions, the motor can just go faster than 50km / 60km / 120 km.

OK will a road bike version of this be faster yes but speed and comfort for me comes to mind if I am gonna be riding at 40mph I need comfort going over rough roads gonna need a suspension saddle aswel for added comfort and gell seat aswel 40mph sounds scary on a mtb tho my wheels on my bike need truing before I give it a test ride plan to upgrade the bearings on it aswel full ceramic wheel bearings less drag on the motor means more mileage

@@jonathanoxlade4252 In Russia i had a moped with Honda Cup motor 72 cub sm. The top speed was just about 40 mph - 80 km an hour as we say it in russia and it takes 1.6 l of gas for a 100 km !! If you can go cheaper than that you are the gratest !!

With the same battery..? Even when it s raining ?(not good for the bagang engine....)

@@MrClemfaz mmmmmm bagand wtf

did you upgrade to the bafang motor E-Rider ?

Have you been re greasin the moter ?

I see the future with more electric bikes and less cars honestly. Our energy problem is mainly one of efficiency because we´ve been running for a century now on a highly pollutant, non renewable energy. In my view, ebikes are part of the solution to our energy problem because they are as efficient as you can get, because they are widely available and because and they can easily replace a lot of our day to day short haul travel. A win win.

@@pedrogustavof yes I agree 100%. You will need to use the vehicle needed for the trip. If you are a single person going to work use a bike. If you are transporting multiple people like children then use a car. They key is to have fewer giant cars and trucks on the road so more bikes can move more people quickly. Having giant electric cars is not a very efficient solution

Kind Of Battery?? Thank's

I don’t ride like this everyday. Actually I’m pretty calm riding. It was more to prove what’s possible. More than 24.000 km of ebike under my belt now.

Obrigado. É verdade que Lisboa não é ainda aquela cidade com que os utilizadores de bicicletas sonham. Mas também não é tão mau como parece e tem vindo a melhorar significativamente, quer a nível de infraestruturas, que a nível de convivência com os automóveis. Penso que o segredo para sobreviver em duas rodas na selva citadina é ter uma condução defensiva, nunca perder o 'situational awareness' e jogar sempre na antecipação. A bicicleta elétrica tem, além disso, a imensa vantagem de ser capaz de velocidades constantes muito aproximadas daquelas a que os automóveis circulam o que, parecendo paradoxal, acaba por funcionar na prática como um importantíssimo fator de segurança quando se circula no meio dele. Sem dúvida que continuarei a usar a bicicleta elétrica em todas as deslocações que consiga. É aquela opção cujas vantagens superam largamente as desvantagens. Boas Festas.

Pedro suponho que não circule de ebike com tempo de chuva, já agora fica a questão. Cumprimentos.

Já o fiz duas vezes, mas não recomendo. Primeiro, como não tenho guarda-lamas, fico mais molhado da água da estrada do que propriamente da chuva; depois, com o piso molhado, o risco aumenta imenso - ao ponto de não valer a pena corre-lo. Cumprimentos

@@pedrogustavof lovely video ❤️👍 Love from india ❤️ What's the toop speed of this motor in throttle and highest pedal assist ?? 🙏🙏Will wait for your reply sir🙏

Also a very Zen experience. Thank you.

Actually it can go a little bit faster than that, but i won´t recomend

Whats the speed throttle pnly?

Hi ! I had the kit installed by a store in Portugal, very competent people, by the way. To my knowledge, the kit was not modified nor did i asked for it. From what i found while i was on the information gathering phase, this is the normal performance of this Bafang mid-drive, which is very powerfull and doesn´t have any limitation imposed (unlike the Bosch or Yamaha counterparts).

Thanks for the information, very helpful to me. I have only a 300w hub motor, but has worked for 5000Km now, but it quite high on maintenance. I still want to upgrade to a mid drive, but I might wait until at least the battery or the motor dies. Since I am running 36V, I would have to purchase a complete new kit for a decent BBS02 or BBSHD. I wish you happy and safe commuting.

Believe me, it´s far better and far safer to ride fast than to ride slow through traffic when you have to share the road with cars.

Initialy my project was to install the BBSHD. But then i figured that, to catter for my daily commute plus a few more km´s a also do regularly, i had to get a bigger, more powerfull battery, much more expensive and one that would´t fit inside the frame of the full suspension MTB as was going to install it on. So, the BBS02, powered by a 14Ah battery with Sanyo cells, was the compromise solution. And frankly, after almost 4.500 km, i don´t regret a bit the option. As for the autonomy, it depends a lot on the PAS level selected. If i´m in a hurry and have to squeeze everything out of the Bafang mid-drive, I would get around 30/35 km (as i obviously don´t drain the battery entirely, it´s a bit of a guess). But you can extract 50/60 km easily if you downgrade the PAS. I hope it helped.

Don Mega What about the Bafang Ultima Max? It suppose to 3 sensors to make shifting and riding easier like Bosch. I saw a video from Luna about it. But I can not find this kit. You need to use an ebike frame with a special mounting bracket that the motor fits into.

I have a lot of people asking me the same question. The answer is: it depends a lot on your demand on the battery. If i´m using PAS 1 to 3, i can get 50/60 km. If i´m riding on PAS 5 (wich is the max on my bike) all the time, probably i´ll get 25 km. In the end of the day it´s just like a combustion engine: if you´re a F1 driver, you can´t expect to have the same mileage. If you´re into riding hard all the time and need range, i´ll go for a bigger battery. Mine is 14Ah 48v.

@@pedrogustavof what rear cassette are you using? All my teeth are sheared because of the motors and the chain skips like nobodies business.

@@Mtron1000 there is a gear change sensor that cuts off the motor maybe that helps....

bout 50 miles

Hi. I have a 48 T. Tryed a 52 T but my impression is it´s a bit hard on the motor on those steep climbs, even tough you get a few extra km/h on straights

The way I'm trying to think about it is even if and when maintenance is required it's probably way cheaper and easier than just getting a simple car service. You could learn to do it yourself from youtube with parts you had delivered from ebay and some simple tools. You also know you're not getting ripped off and the work you do will be done properly. Just having the ability to do all your own repairs and maintenance is comforting to know compared to when something goes wrong with your car or motorbike you're like ZOMG I'm screwed.

My bike service costs like maybe £100 depending if something needs fixing might aswel spend that on my own tools and get hydrolic brake fluid to bleed brakes and a brake bleeding kit

Paul Thomas No maintenance until now, running smoothly.

just get a 250 watt one

@@minnil7927 installed 750 W on one bike in the mean time and DIY built cargo bike with 500W but yeah, thanks ;)

Well, it depends a lot on the assistance i select (from 1 to 5). On max assistance (5) i can get around 25/30 km.

I´m using a normal 10 speed SRAM sprocket and a 48T in the front, for speed. What i find is the middle rings get worn out much quicker than the rest, because that´s where you ride most of the time. Wish the bike manufacturers start to build stringer components specificaly designed for e-bikes

Do you maybe know how many T the middle sprocket is (where you ride most of the time, more or less)? Yeah... You should look into getting a In gear hub. That way you have 1 sprocket and your chain and rear sprocket wears less because there is no moving chain the whole time.

Hi ! I use a 14Ah litthium battery, Sanyo cells. Actually, my BBS02 had the first issue last week, after almost 5300 km of flawless work. The motor would cut all of a sudden, with no (!) indication in the display. Tried to troubleshoot with new cables, but to no avail. My guess it´s the controller. The bike is now undergoing maintenance, next week i´ll have the veredict. Being a heavy user, no doubt the BBSHD, for the increased overal roughness, would have been a wiser choice. The question was i would have needed at least a 17Ah battery, which would have to be custom made to fit my frame, skyrocketing the overal price tag of the kit.

Any news on the issues that the motor had? Still recommend the investment? Thanks!

I disassembled the BBS02, and re-built it with lithium grease on the Nylon cog, and heavy grease on the main pinion, but it still makes a lot of noise. I think the problem was caused by running it for a long time with no lubrication. All of the original grease had literally turned solid to black chunks of dirt and there was no lubrication. In future, I will take the cover off the pinion/spur gear and clean/re-apply new grease every 500-1000 KM or so, because I'm sure this could happen again. That said, the BBSHD is a great motor, you just have to learn how to use the throttle wisely otherwise, your chain will jump off all the time, or you will simply snap it.

@@pedrogustavof is this kit just plug and play to get this speed

32t?? The question is what size is your front chainring, not your biggest gear on your rear cassette😐

I have a Focus Super Bud Expert, full suspension.

Turkishpower75 In fact it’s 26 inch. Mavic crossride

It depends a lot on the assistance level i select. Normally i run on 3/4, which gives me around 25/30 km. If i run on 5 (max) i get a bit less. As for the self-regeneration, i guess it´s some kind of temporary mismatch between the actual battery level and the measured level (if i run hard for a lot of kms, the battery level will seem low, but after a few minutes the true higher level it will eventualy be displayed)

Hi there. Well, it depends a lot on the PAS i select (from 1 to 5). On max power (5) i can squeeze 25/30 kms, depending on the number of hills i get on the way.

What battery are you running that's getting you the 25 to 30 kilometers per charge? The reviews I've been reading are telling tales of 40 miles at 21mph, with zero pedal input, but that's with the 52V / 11.6 amp hour battery.

Obrigado e parabéns também. Cada vez vejo mais gente a experimentar os benefícios de uma bicicleta elétrica, o que é excelente. Mandei instalar precisamente na Sanelkit. Foram super profissionais e a super atenciosos e prestaram-me toda a assistência pós-venda que precisei. No meu caso optei por um mid-drive pela potência e pela eficiência. A minha única dúvida foi entre o motor de 750w e o de 1000w. A opção acabou por ser o de 750w apenas porque para ter uma autonomia aceitável no de 1000w tinha de colocar uma bateria com muito mais capacidade, que ficaria muito mais cara e seria muito mais difícil de instalar. Mas estou muito satisfeito à mesma. Faço 30 km diários, com algumas subidas bem tramadas, sem nenhum esforço e a velocidades bastante elevadas (já atingi os 74 km/h uma vez, mas não recomendo...). Qualquer dúvida, disponha. Boas festas

@@pedrogustavof QuAl é o.preço que cobram para instalar kit 750

The bike slows down, the speed at wich it settles depends on the terrain. To keep the pace you have to keep the engine running by pedaling.

​@@pedrogustavof Thank you!

it is hard to say, it depends on riding style, weight of bike/rider and such

Olá Thiago. Este kit específico, com a bateria de 15Ah e 48V é potente bastante para fazer qualquer subida apenas com acelerador, embora a velocidade dependa um pouco do peso e do tipo de subida. No entanto não aconselho fazer subidas muito íngremes sem pedalar. Neste tipo de kit, pedalar não significa fazer nenhum esforço, apenas manter a cadência do motor. Quanto ao limitador, desconhecia que existia. O meu vinha de origem sem qualquer limite.

I do it not so often to be honest. The thing i replace more regularly are brake pads

@@pedrogustavof thanks, brake pads are very important, yes!!..also which lube do you use when you lube the internal gears?

@@noels8817 Honestly i have a bike repair shop who does that for me. I can ask them what lube they use, but i know it´s a quality one

Thanks Mark. I guess it will fit just fine on the Trek 520. As for the range, you´ll need a bigger battery to have that kind of range. As an example, mine is a 14Ah 48v and if i run at max power i can squeeze around 25/30 km with still around 20 % of charge left (i never let the battery run flat). My suggestion is that you try to find some expert on the e-bike kits. It´s precisely what i did and i´m very thankful i did it because not only it really helped in the "design" of the system that best suited but also it was great help when i had minor issues.

Bom dia Nuno. O primeiro kit (que está neste video) e o seguinte (o motor BBSHD, que instalei há uns dois anos) foram todos instalados por esta empresa: sanelkit.wixsite.com/site. Recomendo vivamente. Abraço

@@pedrogustavof Boas Pedro! Espero-o bem. Já entrei em contacto com eles e estou muito entusiasmado. Graças à sua resposta vou poder ter um kit! Convido-o a visitar o meu canal, espero que o inspire e motive! Muito obrigado e continuação desse espírito indomável.

@@NunoSantoss Folgo em saber que pude ser útil. Boas pedaladas ;-)

You won´t regret. It´s great fun, it´s almost costless to run and above all environmentaly friendly

Droid 3.0 yes i doo, every single day. The only difference is that I now have the BBSHD with the same batteries. In terms of maintenance, I had the BBSO2 serviced with 15000+ km before I sold it and I spent around 200 euros on parts to put it in a new condition. The sparing part is the easier because is obvious. I now have some 17000 km made on the ebike, in three years. I never did the maths, but surely I would have payed some 5.000 euros a year with a car to do the same (apart from the cost of buying the car)

Hi ! The first thing i realised when i installed my mid-drive was the extra wear the bike components would be under. In fact, i bought this bike in particular five or six years before and i used it for this long without noticeable wear. The moment i added the 750w of brute force on it, the wear the chain/cassete combination alredy had surfaced all of a sudden. So yes, unless manufacturers start to design components specificaly to e-bikes, you will have to replace them more often.

The thing i strongly recomend is to invest in good disk brakes. When you're commuting with a machine capable of top speeds above 70 km/h, believe me, you will thank the investiment many times. I replaced the original brakes of my bike (Avid Juicy 3, alredy in bad shape) for a complete set of Shimano SLX. Apart from that, i replaced the original MTB tyres (Continental Race King 2.2) for a pair of Schwalbe Marathon Plus, which, apart from having a very low rolling resistance, are almost puncture proof, which gives me a lot of peace of mind commuting.
