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.

[@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

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 👍

[@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

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.

Im running old wy inch wheels will this srill work as the motor doesnt seem like it has alot of ground crealance, for refeence its a carrera subway 1 im bring back to kife. Found half of it in a skip many months ago. Also are BB sizes standard? Or does the kit come with spacers and reducers for both wisth and diameter? I dont want to by the wring kit and bub drive i think is sketchy, alot of torque going throughh all the commponents from crank back.

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.

[@michaelsMW2movies]

[@multicamcamcamcam]

Did you find any issue with the brake wire because of the clearance of the frame and the motor is quite enough? The brake wire still need to run between the frame and the motor, correct?

[@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

[@AirbrushDGart]

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) 👍

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.

Dude.. You need to modify this video! Why? Because the information is incorrect and dangerous; the last shot is proof- the Bafang logo isnt straight because the motor isnt straight, you put the chain back on and modified its length but you didnt check the manual to see that the motor has to be oriented level with the bottom bracket in order not to put unnatural torque stress on both the motor and your frame. Fix it and fix this video!

[@goldenmotorNA]

@devtank 1 I did not modify the chain at all... 2 my bike has a channel in the down tube for the wires to come out of which prevents the motor from going all the way up 3 I have been using this bike on trails for a while and have not had any issues except for lower clearance I do plan to take the motor out and grind that part down

[@mikejennen3117]

I guess I am also wondering why the motor isn't tilted up? I just installed one on my bike and I don't see what is keeping you from rotating the motor up higher?

The bike has a channel to run cabling at the bottom of the Downtube that will not allow it to rotate all the way up . Have not had any issues except for low clearance. Eventually I will grind it Down with an angle grinder

I think I m gon steer clear of mid bracket motors. front wheel kits have many benefits : - they dont depend on the chain. even if the chain breaks you can still go - way easier to install -fewer tools needed - less likely to run into compatibility issues - its offers two wheel drive, your legpower for the back and electric for the front. - motor is not under the frame, the most exposed place to be, where if its low , going over something may get it banged the only advantage mid drive offers is it doesnt require a torque arm for powerful motors, but I d rather just install a torque arm

[@thefrub]
