Just saw this on another forum Bafang Electric Bike Conversion Kit (Motor Kits & Batteries)- All Items 20% off through Valentines Day I just received a coupon code via email VDAY20OFF from www.BafangUSAdirect.com, for 20% their entire stock through Valentines Day. With the coupon added to the...

Yep, pretty much flat terrain. No off road riding. Gentle changing of the gears. 90% of the ride on express road, i.e. not many stops and goes. Speed usually 23-25 mph. I was really treating this motor gently as this was my commuter bike and reliability was my highest priority. Yesterday when...

I am sorry, this is not what I meant. What I meant is that you explained me from the random numbers on the motor the built date. I do not know how to read them.

I send you a photo of the replacement and from what you said it was built in Sep 2015. The first one I received in Sep 2014.

Hi Guys, Just wanted to give you an update on my BBS02. Some of you may remember that the motor was repaired three times. Recently I was not able to ride the bike too often. However, today I had a chance and the motor died. Approx. 400 miles after the last repair. This is was I saw when I...

Let me know if you need the email addresses to Bafang. I am one of those who were successful with contacting the manufacturer (after many problems with the motor) and getting a new motor.

chazRevo- thanks for your post! I would be happy if I could do 3,700 miles on the motor. I had the gears replaced three times up to 2,800 miles. Paul agreed to cover this under warranty. I am sure that there is something wrong with my motor as I have been using it very gently. He did not want to...

speedmd asked about some background information - I am 185 lbs, bike is 31 lbs; I am riding this bike actually similar to motorcycle, i.e. changing the gears as I would change on motorcycle. The difference is that I am paddling all the time. From the full stop I am using 4 gear, pedaling to...

I am completely honest with you! I am interested only in a reliable bike to get to my work. I am riding this bike VERY soft. This is my commuter, no playing, just counting on reliable ride. 98% of the time I am riding less than 25 mph. No off-road. Just a though - I am using only throttle (no...

Yes, those are missing teeth. Do you have any idea what can cause that kind of damage after less than 1000 miles? I accept that things break ) But either I have too much expectations from Bafang motor, or a couple of repairs withing one year and 2800 miles is too much.

I opened the motor yesterday – this is how it looks inside… after less than 1000 miles since the last repair… in flat terrain and no abuse. There is something wrong with this motor. http://imgur.com/a/dcmhA

Thanks! Do you think it makes sense to put some grease on the gears now?

Another Bafang or completely different motor? Am I the only one experiencing frequent problems for this noise? 1000 miles expected life sounds ridiculously low mileage for me to call this motor reliable.

Hi Guys, I need to report the noise from the motor AGAIN. I have about 2800 miles on the motor and it works like this https://youtu.be/rhUuzxlTy5o History of the motor: - Needed to swap the controller as asked by Paul (em3ev) - I had this noise around 1200-1400 miles, do not remember exactly...
