Lots of curiosity as to BPM out there, read on!
1st, little BaFang. My bike is a dept. store Schwinn ladies Mtn bike bought orginally to get my wife interested yet evolved into my main transportation; e-bike weight 61lbs. I'm a thick legged 185lbs, have owned/ridden 4 e-bikes over the last 2.5 yrs. I bought the Bafang BF-SWXH & Shenzen 36V 20amp controller for a semi-disabled son in law who didn't want it About then a hard crash destroyed my old C-lyte 409, so. . .
Installation Snag1: The 232mm spokes I had should of been 222mm (2nd e-mail seeking advice from jrh not answered), yet I laid awake New Years' Eve and conjored up plans to lace a 4 cross pattern(26" rim). Got it to work and it holds up great, but, don't go this route. I had to devise several 4am sub-strategies to get the last 9 spokes in and it only worked because the length was freakeshly precise. 1mm shorter or longer and it would of been for naught. A straight forward 3 cross is sensible.
Installation Snag2: Another thread helped with the wiring; ie; Blue to Blue and switch the other two. No motor response whatsoever :| My plea was answered here, there's some great folks with helpful advice on Endless-sphere. Attached the extra little red wire for a key swithch to the main red power wire; Bafang hmmmed beautifully
Installation Suggestion: The motor wires exit on the right. Since I have courier (bike bags) I've never noticed the wires and don't worry about 'em scraping anything. However, the plastic cap for where the wires exit the axel, pretty much forces a 90 degree bend. If I had included a 2nd axle nut, it would of held the cap out another 7/16" and allowed the motor wires to curve more with a less sharp bend.
The name Shenzen Sucteam; what a name,
