    Weird Sound On A Brand New BBSHD. Is it broken?

    I would check your installation as there should be no added resistance to pedaling with power off to the motor. With battery power physically disconnected from motor, remove chain from chain wheel. Rotate cranks by hand as if pedaling. Should rotate freely. Connect power and turn on display...

    Best price on 9c rH212 hub motor? Direct buy from China?

    This gentleman has already posted this question on ES Facebook page and has expressed his desire to not conduct any business with ebikes.ca. Although many others have stated how important quality assurance and customer service is when buying e-bike components and the overall satisfaction when...

    Throttle won’t shut off

    Looking for a little help here. BBS02 throttle won’t shut off while in PAS 1-9, only in PAS 0. Never used to do that. Throttle works normally as soon as I start pedaling in PAS mode. I almost never use throttle only. Of interest, two weeks ago BBS02 started making internal knocking noise...

    Battery build question

    Great ideas! Thank you.

    Battery build question

    Sure! My battery groups have to lay flat, not upright, so I basically have to bend the pack at the tabs between groups so they fold and lay flat. The only issue I have with my design is the parallel groups will only be connected to each other by two or three nickel strips. I can double stack...

    Battery build question

    So then I am to assume that between each parallel group of 7 cells, I must have a series connector capable of handling 25 amps? If I use a standard .15mm nickel strip rated at 7 amps, it’ll just burn up. Even stacking two strips wouldn’t be enough. Perhaps two strips, each double stacked...

    Battery build question

    If a 13s7p battery were built in parallel modules and each module was linked to the next module in series, how much current would pass through each series link between modules if max battery current draw was 25 amps as regulated by the controller? I know it is preferable to build the cells in...

    Hot batteries

    Just finished my first battery build and accidentally set it on top of a piece of metal. It started smoking so it picked it up to run outside with it, but it was no longer smoking. The last six batteries were hot, none of the others were. Two of the insulators turned brown under the nickel...

    Tasskood Batteries any good?

    I bought a Tasskood 48v 20 ah Hailong style battery a few month ago for what I thought was a reasonable price. Ad on AliExpress said battery was made with “original Samsung 35E” batteries. So far the battery seems to be doing OK, but I don’t ask much from my battery like a lot of people here...

    Bafang extension cables

    Actually, I guess I found my own answer. Seller of my Bafang, after inquiry, provided me this link, so I ordered one...

    Bafang extension cables

    Thank you for your reply. The 850c display does in fact disconnect from the button module. I’m just not sure if there is a way to extend it without the measures you propose.

    Bafang extension cables

    Is there an extension cable available for increasing the distance between the display and the buttons that control the display? I bought an extension for the speed sensor and it works just fine. Would that cable also work for the display to button module?

    Bafang 850c display - no digital mode

    I paid extra for and received the 850c color display with my Bafang mid drive motor. While going through the menu items in the settings, I wanted to change the scene from “analog” to digital, but nothing happened while pressing the power button to select. I can’t see the dark display...

    Proper setup for touring?

    That’s fine. Forums are a great place to get good info, but with the understanding that many contributors wish to steer the topic toward their own agenda. My original question has been answered, but only indirectly; did I pick a good setup to suit my needs? It wasn’t about the value of...

    Proper setup for touring?

    Thank you for doing that. I was a little concerned about fork failure from torque. I think I'll go with geared rear hub, but maybe move from MAC 10T to MAC 12T to give a little more torque to the 700c wheel. The battery will be as far forward as possible (as in the photo link you provided) so...

    Proper setup for touring?

    OK, imagine this scenario: You're 55 miles into the day, it's 90 degrees, 90 percent humidity, your bike seems heavier by the minute, and your motel is still 28 miles ahead, and you have two big hills ahead, each about 1 1/2 miles long, and your battery is dead because you used it to just...

    Proper setup for touring?

    Chalo. I'm not here to discuss the advantages of recumbents. That's getting off topic. You already mentioned that my choice of motor is a good one for my needs - the Mac 10T or 12T. I just wanted that verified. The TourEasy has two parallel and horizontal bars that run from the bottom...

    Proper setup for touring?

    OK. We're talking about a geared motor, though, significantly less weight than monster direct drives. I get the wheel size advantage, but none of that matters when the wheel starts slipping and spinning. Kind of like a trucks rear wheels spinning in the mud. At that point, what's under the...

    Proper setup for touring?

    Everything I’ve read so far counters your position. If only what you propose were true! I would love it! Less expensive, easier to repair a flat, etc. The last thing I need, however, is the front wheel spinning out while climbing a hill with just a little gravel, sand, or moisture on the...

    Proper setup for touring?

    What exactly are you pointing out? That there are no trade offs? No hurt feelings here my friend. With recumbents, there is less wind resistance, ability to place more power to the pedals, no sore neck, no sore back, no numb hands or fingers, better visibility, more relaxed position, smoother...

    Proper setup for touring?

    I honestly thought I could get a constructive analysis here on this forum. Instead, all I got was a lot of negativity regarding my ideas for my touring bike. For the individual who believes this bike is not more “efficient “ than a regular bike, it is more efficient, but I bought it because it...

    Proper setup for touring?

    I recently bought a long wheelbase recumbent touring bike I wish to outfit with Ebike components. I will be using for loaded touring on the east coast, so lots of hills. I decided on a Mac 10T or 12T geared hub for 700c rear and jumbo shark 52v battery from em3ev.com. Bike weight and gear...

    Mac 10T

    Noobee here. Does anyone know what the main differences are between the Mac 10T freewheel version and the cassette version is besides the obvious? Is one more powerful than the other? I can’t seem to find much information at all on this topic.
