Hi, I have the same bike, what type of bafang do you moubt the one wit 100mm bottom bracket or 73mm? Tks?

Hello Alessandro, I used the 100mm. My BB is 85mm, so the 73 was too short. The 100mm is too long, so I used 6 BB spacers. You need the spacers to make the motor clamp meet the BB to hold secure. I had to go to local Bike shops to find spacers, each had a couple in stock. A little bit of a challenge. The real challenge is making the battery secure to the frame. I gave it a axle bolt through the frame, near the head tube. Let me know if you have other questions. I finally got the bugs worked out and I'm having a great time riding it.

also, the BB I took off the bike had two spacers on it, I used those.
