That small rectangle battery looks amazing. Seems like the extra money would be well spent to save all the weight. I think the pack I chose will be fine with the low amps that the BBSHD draws. The large and heavy triangle pack definitely affects the handling of the bike. I am used to being...

I am glad my newbie build inspired you. I will try to answer your questions: I think the 110mm will fit with minimal hassle, but you may still need the offset left crank arm which is available from Cali E Bike for $15.00. If you use the 120mm you may not need the offset crank, as you will...

Well, I finished up the bike. I need to clean up and protect the wiring but other than that it is done. I am so impressed! I have literally never ridden an electric bike so I did not know what to expect. This thing is awesome. It has way more power than I expected. I have the thumb...

Hi, Thanks for the coments. I will post some pics of the built bike in a few minutes. Its performance is awesome! The frame is a 19" and you will be able to see there is room to spare so my guess is that the battery would fit the 17.5" triangle as well. The Bullet seems to have kind of a...

I really appreciate your help. Thanks for taking the time to look all that up. I will really delve into everything you wrote. Thanks again!

Hi, Thanks for the response. I do like the idea of a kit that comes with the 24" wheel already laced. I am really trying to keep weight to a minimum so that the bike will behave off road in a manner that such a light weight kid can handle. Are you saying the other kit is a lot more functional...

Overview of the Bike: Check out that Luna 30T chainring.....sweet looking. Derailleur direct mount causing clearance problems. Drive unit with the direct mount trimmed back. Notice the drive unit rides right up against the chainstay. I hope this is okay as I have no more threads to...

Hi, I wanted to share my first electric bike build and my second post on this forum. I appreciate all the information on the ES. I have learned a lot, and wouldn't even think of dabbling in this without the great information. I am an avid endurance mountain biker. I am building up a fat bike...

Hi, I am getting ready to build my daughter an electric assisted mountain bike. I have a budget of under $200 for the kit. I want the bike to be as light as possible, and just have enough power to help her along on grades from 5% to 10%. This will be offroad as well. Top speed isn't...
