    Bafang BBSxx - fault finding and fixes

    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.

    Bafang BBSxx - fault finding and fixes

    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.

    Bafang BBSxx - fault finding and fixes

    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...

    Bafang BBSxx - fault finding and fixes

    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...

    Bafang BBSxx - fault finding and fixes

    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...

    Bafang BBSxx - fault finding and fixes

    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...

    Just wanted to follow up on my case: - Paul (em3ev) agreed to repair the motor under warranty in the US (without sending the motor to China) - gears which were replaced maximum 500 miles ago are wore out - I asked about photos of the worn gears, will upload when I receive them Do you have any...

    Yeah, I have asked him to clarify what was repaired / replaced during the two first repairs and the reason why the controller needed to be replaced. That makes me very angry, but this is not the end of the world...

    I got response from em3ev. Paul suggested that I send the kit to China and he would refund costs of the part only. I will pass and I will contact Bafang directly. I do not count on much, but I will just share my regrets.

    Bafang BBSxx - fault finding and fixes

    At the beginning em3ev asked me to swap the controller. Great that it happened before the old one failed, but still I understand there was something wrong with the coding. Not sure if this was distributor fault, but anyway, a problem. I had this noise around 1200-1400 miles, do not remember...

    Bafang BBSxx - fault finding and fixes

    Thank you very much for this info! I am disappointed with the reliability of the motor. I am using this motor for commuting, the bike has never been off the beaten track - flat terrain, express way, not many stops, 26 miles each day... after previous failure I am riding less than 25 mph...

    Hi Guys, I think that I have another problem with my BB02 (I needed to change the controller, then there was a strange noise coming from the motor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VV7UvRi6bAc, the motor was sent two times for a repair…). Now I have noticed this noise coming from the motor when...
