I commissioned a custom frame specifically to build with a bbshd. It is an elevated chainstay fat bike setup so the chain line works with the width of the 100mm bbshd. But the space for the battery was supposed to be 5" to clear the battery I have and it came out just under 4". Anybody know...

I went with the trickle charge all day approach. Immediately faulted on start of discharge.

I guess I'll update this, in case anyone else comes along who is interested. I did a trial with a 20" wheeled "adult sized" ebike (long chainstays, long seatpost.) The bike has a 350w 48v hub motor with 6 assist settings. With it set to setting 0, assist is so vigorous from a stop that it...

When a NiMH cell is reversed by overdischarge in series with higher capacity neighboring cells, what happens after recharging the pack? Does this cell act like a resistor in series? Can you get an open circuit? Something worse? Background: I bought a 1g insight with the factory 120S1P NiMH...

How is this project shaping up? I'm working on a range extending option for my child. I'd like the assist to be of the sort that melts into her own pedaling. -smooth ramp up -minimal but not negligible assist -no throttle -negligible off delay pedelec function (in technical off road, a few...

Thank you. I did see that. I wasn't sure whether to add on there or make my own topic. This is a bit different in that the control needs to work for off road, not just neighborhood use. I guess I should have added either tiny mid drive, or cassette freehub and disc brake, as well (I'm not a...

I want my kid to be able to go on longer rides with me but still have enough energy left at the end of the ride so that she will still be having fun. I think what I'm looking for is: A.) something tunable to less than 100w, maybe with 200w available later as she grows. B.) No throttle. Needs...

No direct experience, but a friction drive in a mountain bike application seems like asking for trouble.

I have a small amount of relevant experience, and you don't have a lot of replies at this point. I've used the Q100 as a front wheel assist with a tiny battery for a few years. have a little experience with a Nakto, and have just built up a BBSHD100. Is the q100 now available in cassette...

Chinese shift sensor installed. Definitely made shifting worse. It cuts power when the cable moves, and instantly restores full power as soon as the cable stops moving, basically before the shift starts for upshifts, and definitely before it finishes for downshifts. When I pause pedaling...

Something I didn't see mentioned anywhere, at least with the 860C, holding the minus button is context dependent. When not moving, it activates walking mode, but when moving it activates pause mode, which allows you to shift without power, and then regain power after releasing the button and...

Ended up buying a new bike and going with a BBSHD install.

I settled on the gravity monster for it's narrower frame with a bunch of successful fitments out there. I settled on the 100mm BBSHD based on reviews saying it fit this frame without drive side spacers. Mine is a 2021 20" frame. It doesn't clear without spacers. By eye, it looks like it...

The bike I want to power is an old bike that has a 135mm rear dropout.

I want something to use in the woods only for fun. I'm usually that guy who knows stuff and wants to know more just for fun and is helping other people in the situation I find myself in now. Now I really just want to be reality checked by people who know way more than me on this one. What if...
