52 volt firmware from Bafang limits current to 28 amps down from 30 amps and this is a special request for Bafang to load this firmware to not throw the error 7 code with 52 volt batteries, it negates any supposed 8% performance increase. They do not want 52 volt batteries. They do not ship a 52...

Avoid 52 volt Hailong packs is all I am trying to warn people about. I have no agenda. We see them all the time and people are getting mislead. 48 volt Hailong good, 52 volt Hailong bad. Reention actually does make cases now to properly build a 52 volt 17.5 Ah and 13.5 Ah batteries. They are a...

I just decided to write something up on these 52 volt packs still being pushed by many vendors. I get asked on the phone and in emails all the time and writing something I can link to is a time savor for me and those wanting to know. When our customers had failures we sent them replacement 48...

These cases are designed for 48/36 volts, to fit only 52 cells or less, not 56. Hailong does not make a case made for 52 volts. The first picture, 48 volts, with the purple cells, shows how it should look, notice the black frame holding the cells together as a pack. That cell holder frame...

All the 52 volt packs using Hailong cases will be shoddy so just be careful. All those cases were designed for 48 volts not 52. The cases would need to be designed for 52 volts, but they are only designed for 48 and cram cells inside. All the vendors are doing this, just want people to be aware...

Here is a link to an article about Hailong branded 52 volt batteries. They are still being sold by many vendors, but should they? NO is the short answer. Check it out below: https://www.empoweredcycles.com/blogs/news/52-volt-battery-proceed-with-caution

No this does not push out chain line. The drive side ring fits inside the shell so the motor fits flush. Where are you getting this 1-2mm idea from? You would only need spacers on the drive side of the motor if it touches the chain stay, which is bike specific, not related to the adaptor at all.

I have found that creating more space between the sensor and the magnet fixes this. If you can't find a spoke a little further away, rotate the sensor up or down to create more space and this should fix the 62.4 mph issue. For some strange reason if the magnet is close like you would think it...

WARNING THIS SYSTEM WILL NOT WORK WITH BBSXX MOTORS Yes we know about Praxis Works, they are located here in our backyard in Santa Cruz California. I have contacted them in the past and spoke with a rep by the name of Ross to confirm the below comment as fact. This is a proprietary bottom...

Bafang 100mm BBSHD shimano press fit 41mm diameter 89.5mm - 92mm width to BSA/JIS adaptor. The BBSHD motor is designed for JIS/BSA threaded bottom bracket shells. If you have a 2012 and newer bike chances are good you may have a Shimano Press Fit bottom bracket shell. Full suspension...

Bikesdirect.com has become popular for their good deals on Fat bikes. They range from entry level 700$ ish range up to 1500$ + for nicer models with upgraded components. For those interested in adding a BBSHD to one of these Fat bikes, I highly recommend you spend the extra money on a model that...

The chain ring in the photo on pg 15 from Gmullz is a new ring offered by Bafang. Luna calls it an "aluminum Luna chainring". Unfortunately, it is offset outward 10mm. Hence the free giveaway. Its poo. We ordered some from Bafang and its ok for bikes with long drive chains like tandems etc...or...

Will the BBSxx fit in my bike? This is a question that many of us need help in answering. The question you should be asking first is "what kind of bottom bracket does my bike have"? You need to know the answer to this in order to understand how the BBS02 or BBSHD will fit in your bike and what...
