Custom E-bike Build: Schwinn Protocol Full Suspension w/ Bafang BBS02 750w & 52v 10ah Wedge Battery

[@rorymurphy27]

I just converted my hardtail to ebike with bbs02 in May and I have 200 moles on it already on my local trails. uphill climbs are like taking a smoke break lpl

[@michaelbrinks8089]

A full suspension will take stress off the frame & other parts when you're going 30mph down bumpÿ streets. Plus be more comfortable. Really wish my motorized bicycle was full suspension.

[@JohnAfferty]

Non fat tire ebikes suspension is almost a must have on front .

[@msb6100]

really intrigued by the wedge battery--making me reconsider a build for the 13" marin point reyes urban bike!

[@brittweir8844]

Hey I just opened up my e-bike kit (box) and there is a Golden Ticket inside ❤❤❤❤😊,I’ve gotta go tell my grandpa 😅

[@Fubar684]

Dig the wedge battery and rear rack.

[@michaelsprinzeles4022]

Another nice build. Just to pick a gnit: You set up that headlight for bird watching or star gazing;)

[@JohnnyNerdOut]

Oh definitely, it needs to be adjusted down 😂

[@honestlyforreal6304]

We need some comparable builds to factory trail and enduro bikes. Something besides a street scooter. I'm basically looking to ride hard on single track. Instant throttle response with low end torque. Maybe 25-30 mph max.

What did you say the name of the new battery? I think you said Lucky. I went on your website and dont see it

[@JohnnyNerdOut]

Check the description for a direct link 👍

[@v1ncen715]

- The chain looks too tight. You usually need more than 2 extra link with a rear suspension. - Very interesting battery format. Could confirm its weight?

[@eugene9000pro]

Weight is at least 4 kg

What is the most durable ebike motor for agressive mountain bike riding?

[@JohnnyNerdOut]

Probably the bbshd

[@GaNgStAlBeRt]

so you still make bbs02 and bbshd builds it seems i was under the impression that the new toseven is superior to these bafang drives

[@JohnnyNerdOut]

Different motors for different needs I’d say. Bafang is still the motor to beat.

[@Hippie-lee]

range on full power? 17ah gives me just 7 miles

[@JohnnyNerdOut]

Whoa, how much power are you using? That’s like 120wh/mi if you have a 48/52v battery

[@Hippie-lee]

@@JohnnyNerdOut standard everything, 48v. Run a 52t chain ring for 35mph cruising ability. What should I be seeing in mileage? Used to get 15 miles in mode 2 out of 3 but now it's bit colder in Scotland this time of year it seems to have lost range. It's a cheapo aliexpress 17ah with grade a cells, allegedly lol. Want to buy a 24ah but wonder what I should see in mileage on decent Samsung or equivalent cells?

[@larrym2434]

20ah 52v battery gives me about 60 miles in one trip ~ there are many factors, so this is an approximate number. I could get more mileage on flat ground, and if I totally drained the battery.

[@nathandavidson1823]

Thar battery is bad, my 17.5 get 30miles

[@Hippie-lee]

@@nathandavidson1823 even in full power mode everywhere?

[@cognac8297]

Are there any twist throttles for the bafang 750
