Easy Bafang Mid Drive Kit Installation - BBSHD/BBS02

[@Gal2k6]

You mounted that drive wrong. It shouldn't just hang like that. It moves up "flush" with the frame so that the bafang logo is almost horizontal.

[@michaelinkster4977]

Just fitted the 1000 watt BBSHD paired with a 52v 19.5 ah battery to an inexpensive mountain bike I bought new around 6/7 years ago for £180 in a half-price Halfords sale. Very impressed with the outcome - not worked on bikes since I was young so it took around 5 hours but I could do a second one in less than 2 hours. It goes very fast and hills are a thing of the past!

[@WildCamper]

Hiya, thinking of also adding one to my bike. Can you use just throttle and also do the UK ones come limited in any way? Cheers Rob

[@masteryoda394]

I fitted MY BBS01 With 750W to a bike I bought for 50€ .

[@CM-1723]

Are did you get on with bbshd ? Do you do any mountain biking? Was there enough clearance

[@j.s.baldwin5175]

Amazing that you have a channel. Bought my BBSHD from Golden Motor over 2 years ago. It has survived 2 bikes and 2 years worth of daily commuting to work. It has caused me to become much more proficient in bike wrenching, but it is an amazing new hobby. I do wish you stocked more parts for it though, as I have had to source many wear and tear items from the US. You helped someone like me with spinal issues get back in to biking. Doc said it would never happen but I even biked all last winter. Keep it up.

[@goldenmotorNA]

Thank you. We have have added a lot of parts for bafang maintenance. And we can get any part you need 😉

[@May_Day45]

Thank you SO much for this vid, I don't know why i had it in my head that the motor could not be positioned straight down...the setup I've been looking at has been restricted by the frame....this opens up loads of ideas and will save me $$$...again thank you SO much 🥰

[@desotopete]

From other install videos, most have the motor pivoted closer to the front tube so it's not hanging so low.

[@beerstein7137]

Yes, that motor is now very exposed to rocks etc He should also have added some loctite to the thread of the first ring holding the motor

[@goldenmotorNA]

This is bike with internal cabling so the slot for the cable doesn’t allow it to go all the way up

The allen wrench you used to tighten the crank arm is 11mm. Process of trying the Bike Pro Kit which 10mm is highest. Non standard size special order. Task is to replace crank wheel from 44T to 32T.

Great installation guide. Can this motor be installed on a 3 spoke bike please as I see the speed sensor is attached to on of the spokes. My bike just has 3 metallic spokes

[@steveedwards4495]

Don't you have to rotate the motor up toward the frame before tightening? No other install vids show it hanging down? Oh and you didn't install the chain ring cover 🤔

[@steveedwards4495]

Lol don't worry, found the answers in the comments 👍

[@lapizbluee]

such an amazing video thankyou! looking on a bafang kit for myself.did you shorten the chain?

[@andthepoetliftshispen5752]

I can't decide which type of mountain bike to use. Preferred aluminum first, but maybe chromoly might take greater heavy loads of batteries and better shock and impact? For 5,11 I'm wondering frame geometry, and frame and wheel size to use with heavier load and responsive steering. Oh, but any frame i get will have front suspension. Seems like a must.

[@MarkDavidBlack]

Thank you for a great video. With the help of this video I think I can convert my Giant Escape Hybrid.

[@theepimountainbiker6551]

Looks simple enough, thinking of doing this to my 2021 Devinci Riff, a lot cheaper than buying a ebike from Devinci

[@dzisw]

Thanks for the info helps a lot! One thing I'm confused at is does the kit come with brake cables or sensors?

[@Trailfloater]

What if u have mechanical disc brakes

[@teddcuizon3964]

Im assuming this conversion kit isnt compatible with a 3x bikes, i.e 3 chainrings in the front. Nevermind, I saw he removed a front derailleur, meaning this bike was likely a 3x drivetrain.

[@corradogiorgetti9371]

I have a Schwinn Ascension with 1x7 and 30T front ring. What ring should I pick for a 750W kit? not doing anything pro, mainly commuting to work with some long but not to much incline hills.And occasionally trials with hills but no racing.

[@Oceanbluemoss]

Just a simple question , when you removed the bottom bracket in earlier clip , and then in later clip you say insert motor into bottom bracket I never seen you put the bottom bracket back in , it's confused me a little

[@CallMeRiceGod]

I have an Aspect 950 with a 42T with a 73mm bottom Crank. So if I buy a 42T 1000W Bafang Mid Drive Kit do you think it can work out? I'm thinking of also adding a 52V Battery that I will buy separately. I'm doing as much research as possible to see if its worth it to spend 1K on a mid drive kit.

[@billwilhite2190]

I've been told that bufang has motors that clamp to the frame so the bikes own pedals and crank can be utilized. Anyone know if such a motor exists and can you recommend video on this, thanks

[@chrisv.noire.6388]

you're talking about a hub motor that is mounted onto the back wheel hub.

[@livens100]

@@chrisv.noire.6388 No, there are "bolt on" rear motors on Amazon pretty cheap. They literally just bolt onto the frame in the back. The kits come with a special chain ring that bolts to the side of the rear wheel, and then a smaller chain connects to the motor. They are cheap, but also LOUD and not nearly as clean looking.

Hey thanks for such a great video 👍 -Why remove the front derailer? -Why remove the gear shifter? Is it not needed then maybe one can just buy a 1 gear bike for this installation? -46T chain ring is it the number of teeth on the ring?

[@zyphoxx]

You don't need the front derailleur because with the new setup there's only one chain ring, so there's no changing gears. But you still need one gear shifter for the gears in the back. Yeah, I don't see why you couldn't do this with a fixie (one gear bike) 👍

The chainring that comes with the kit is dished. If you use your own chainring, even if it fits, it will be off axis to the rear sprockets.

[@91722854]

Isn't it standard that the stock chainring doesnt really align at center of cassette, mine also is the 68mm BB kit and my BB shell is 68mm wide but I find it aligning to the 3rd highest gear instead of the center, meaning shifting to bigger cassette cogs would bend the chain a bit too much, just wondering how yours doesn't seem to have this issue

[@shanepipkin4041]

what's the difference in 750 and 1000 and do you still shift gears on th back wheel?

[@bl4558]

If there were no shifting it would not require a shift sensor. Right?

[@emish4282]

750 watt is less power than 1000 watt but to be honest, there hardly is a difference. Only torque would have a great improvement ( which is very helpfull when climbing) Yes, you do shift with the back gears. Only the front derailleur (or the front gears) will be removed.
