You can get plasti dip in spray cans in different colors. That stuff is made to peel off when you want it off

I think you invited it. A guy starts a thread about his dealings with a vendor and you jump down his throat saying he should have researched more. If threads like this weren't started there would be no source of information to research in the first place. And just for the record, your first...

With 10 Pounds of battery and 5 more of motor your bike will be a boat anchor also. Turns out that the motor won't be helping you, you will be helping the motor.

I wouldn't trust that thing in my house! Charge and store it in your barbque grill! Regardless of what happens those cells have been seriously stressed. I'd insist on a replacement.

If you just go with one motor the money you save will allow you to buy a great pre built battery. I match a 52 volt 13 ah battery with a magic pie edge and love it. If you did that you'd have money left over and running at 52 volts instead of 36 would make up for the lost motor to a large degree.

I think throttle only is the way to go here. But program it to current rather than speed so you get a nice progressive ramp up.

The immediate and automatic response is to clamp on the brakes, by the time you think to pull on wires etc you are over the cliff or in the path of traffic. I agree brake disconnects are a good idea!

Right on!

I get it that you like to tinker and mod your bike, me too. But my point is that you could have started with a bare frame and not had to throw away he rest of the bike! Enjoy the KoolAid! Peace out.

Well putting out a substandard bike and convincing many to buy it just creates a secondary market for others to fill with upgrade parts. The fact remains that you yourself have replaced the motor, controller, and battery with upgraded parts that just shows that the original ebike was wholly...

ding ding ding...best post of this thread! :D

I can answer my own question now since I have them both. On hard acceleration they are about the same volume but each has a different quality. At slow cruise the BBS02 is quieter. At fast cruise you really don't hear much of either one compared to wind and tire noise.

:lol:

Yes you definitely don't want yo get caught on a hill in the wrong gear. But if you look ahead and anticipate your needs it's not a big deal. That said, I am a throttle man myself.

So you replaced every part that makes it an ebike- motor, controller, battery, and then added a derailleur and gears threw away the rack and installed fenders from an Electra and a different seat and you contend that it is a great bike! Are you kidding? The only thing left is the frame! :lol:
