    Thru axle to Drop out conversion? Santacruz Bronson

    Hello guys, So I've hit 600Km on my BBS02 Santa Cruz Bronson. First ebike, and boy has it been fun. Topping out at 50 kph it's fast, but I'm thinking of getting a little more power - I'm afraid of maxing out the bbs02 for extended periods. My first idea was to just get a phaserunner as it...

    Vruzend kit 2.1, good enough?

    Most I ride is 35km, so with some pedalling the bike calc reckons 9Ah is just about enough. Might build a 10Ah instead. Do you reckon building it using the Vruzend kit will be a good choice? An oem LG battery is 300 quids but only 48V, would that be a better choice since it’s my first battery...

    Vruzend kit 2.1, good enough?

    Hi there, I'm about to buy a Vruzend 2.1 Half and Whole kit, with their charger and BMS for a 14s 3P homemade battery powering a BBS02b. It's my first ebike, and although I have experience with RC power systems, and a mech engineer i'm a bit nervous as many people on the forums have said not to...

    BBSHD - Bottom bracket standards confusion

    Cheers! That was a typo, was mean to say that my BB is threaded not tapered. Should be alright then. Also because its a 73mm BB but I'm purchasing a 68mm, will it come with a spacer kit from em3v? Cheers Rhys

    BBSHD - Bottom bracket standards confusion

    Hi there, I'm about to purchase a BBSHD or a BBS02 from EM3ev to the UK. I've got this bike and have read a few articles confusing if the kit will fit on to my bike. The bikes specs can be found here https://www.santacruzbicycles.com/en-GB/bike/bronson/1 It's says its got a 73mm ISO...

    BBS02 Vs Crystalyte Rear Thru

    Hi there, Thanks so much to everyone who helped me with my previous post. As far as what I gathered, if you want headroom for future upgrading and more power, hub motors are the way to go as it doesn't involve the bike drive train. Problem is, my bike only has a thru axle, so my only hub...

    BBSHD Future proof/worth it 2020?

    Okay thank you! You may have convinced me to look further for a hub motor - Do you know of any thru axle / Quick release hub motors other than Grin? Thanks Rhys

    BBSHD Future proof/worth it 2020?

    Cheers - My bike is a Santa Cruz Bronson, which I mainly use on the road. I've never ridden a powerful ebike before, so maybe I'll be fine with a BBS02b. Main reason to electrify it is for deliveroo and getting to and from uni - But at the same time I was thinking I'd spend a little more to...

    BBSHD Future proof/worth it 2020?

    Okay excellent, I'll be running it stock at 30A for the most part and only have one particular short steep hill on my daily rides (of which I'll be cautious of the motor). Yeah i'm really keen for a hub motor but i've discoreved I only have a thru axle and quick release, and most hub motors...

    BBSHD Future proof/worth it 2020?

    Thanks for the reply. Ahh okay, I've heard a few members also say the BBS02 is a better choice. My bike is quite heavy duty so I'm hoping it'll tolerate the greater stress. I'm a mechanical engineering student in Uni and love maintaining stuff, but I wont have access to my home tools while at...

    BBSHD Future proof/worth it 2020?

    Ahh okay, had no clue its in Candian Dollars! No I haven't but i'll have a look. I have experience with RC electronics, is it the Kit thats sub standard, or is it just hard to work with? Cheers for the replies :)

    BBSHD Future proof/worth it 2020?

    Okay so you reckon the BBS02 will be enough for my needs. Can you bump up the S02 to 1500 - 2000W? Just a bit stuck on whether that extra 150 pounds is worth spending for the HD Cheers for the reply.

    BBSHD Future proof/worth it 2020?

    Hi there, I'm about to splash the cash on a BBSHD from aliexpress for 500 pounds, and make my own Li-ion battery using the Vruzend kit. Before I do spend all this cash is there enough headroom performance wise for the future? - The BBSHD has been out for a few years, less than its brother the...

    New build ! Santa Cruz Bronson E bike ! - BBS02/GNG/HD

    Cheers for the replies really helps! I haven't fully considered hub motors, but are they hard to find in 27.5 sizing. I'm going to be using the bike mostly as a commuter but would like power to mess around on the trails on a day off. I've heard hub motors aren't too good for this, due to the...

    New build ! Santa Cruz Bronson E bike ! - BBS02/GNG/HD

    Hi guys, I've just sold my petrol Go-ped scooter for a decent amount and I'd like to build an e mountain bike. I've been lucky enough to own a 2013 Santa Cruz Bronson, and have been inspired by Tom Staton's RC ebike, however although I'm an undergrad engineer, I only have access to a workshop...
