List starts at 1:52:
1. Rear gears
2. Aftermarket front gear
3. Good brakes (hydraulic disc)
4. Shift sensor
5. Big battery (20Ah+)
6. Color display
Half throttle grip is another must have for me.
Thanks for the video!
One thing I would definitely add to this list is an "eggrider".
The factory settings on the BBSHD leave a lot to be desired and by tweaking these, you can get a night and day improvement on how the motor runs.
*WARNING * This should be done with extreme care after doing the proper research as you can bugger up the controller if you don't know what you're doing!
It's really not that hard to tweak though and well worth it.
The only problem is, in order to tweak the motor, you normally have to connect it, via a special USB/COM cable to your laptop which is a real pain, especially when it comes to fine adjustment.
This is where the "eggrider" comes in!
It allows you to reprogram the unit on the fly via your mobile phone, so it's really easy to tweak and test, tweak and test.
It also gives you two, quickly switchable modes which you can use for a street legal mode and a not so street legal mode! ;)
It has quite a few other features too.
Sorry for all the "tweaks"! 8)
Thanks for all the info :)
Do you have a video tutorial on how to do this, im a bit of a beginner but a very fast visual learner so if you do please drop a link, cheers for the info!
I bet this bike would pull the steep grade to my apartment every day on my way from work. That’s right I’m 70 and still working.
Thanks again for sharing your time and experience! Very helpful.
Hey Gordon! I'm glad I could help! Come back soon for more videos
Just bought the bafang 750w 48v and bought a no suspension claud Butler large mountain bike. So looking forward to fitting.
A bit concerned about the controller, I did read somewhere there better now. Post were 4 yrs old
This makes me more inclined to get a purpose built electric bike. I was thinking about just adding a more powerful motor than my 250w hub motor, but the hydraulic brakes would be safer and other features.
I have the same kit and i love it. I got the 42 tooth bling ring from lekkie and its nice and fixed the chain line. I hope bafang will come out with faster kit, mabe 3000 watts,that would be fast. Cyclone makes a 3000watt mid drive motor ,mabe i will get a cyclone. thanks for tips and video.
Just swap your current controller with the Ludicrous controller from Lunacycle or the phaserunner from Grin, and your BBSHD with be 3k watt too!
I look forward to your videos, they are full of helpful & practical tips. I own a Rad Mini (2019 Model) and thinking about increasing my gear rang with a mid pinion gear box. What do you think about that configuration. Is it doable?
Great work on video mate
Where can I find the battery bag? Very helpful and informative video!
Who's watching this video in 2020...mid Corona pandemic?! I am! :D
Me too, installed my bbshd on my fattie yesterday
Just bought my BBS03 and installed my self for Christmas. Just finished installing gear sensor and hydraulic brake sensors. Can't wait to ride it to my mums house which is about 20km away. :)
Love the look of that bike!
I did most of these thing to my urban racer, only it has a 3 speed sturmey archer hub, chain alignment was perfect and I didn't need the gear selector cable because you have to stop pedaling on the 3vspeed, I get that speed easy, I even got over 50mph going down a long swallow hill
What is the BCD of the chainring? Why doesn't it look like a Velomobile? I was thinking of a SRAM XO 15 speed 10-50T cassette. Do you think that will give me enough range, without putting too much stress on the chain? Very nice video, by the way. Clear, concise and informative.
Do you have a closeup of the brake levers? Are they diy or did you buy them? I'm having trouble finding a good hydraulic lever with the built in brake cutoff.
Hi, I Just came across your video, thanks. Could I just ask please how many teeth lekkie front ring did you go for to reach 36mph? Been on thier website and they have varius teeth options. Thanks.
G'day Kyle,
hope you are well mate.
I watched some of your video then I made a decision to purchase BBSHD with 48v battery 6 months ago, installed on my Merida Crossway 40.
I still remember on my first riding, it was just fantastic, a while new world.
The 2 years old factory optioned Kenda tires didn't have any issues before however they were punctured within the next few weeks so I let them go. I bought specialized sawtooth 2bliss tires (I love this one the most) after that but ended within 2 months, the next one was Schwalbe Energizer plus greenguard, then now Continental ridetour.
I think it is the time to move to TUBELESS.
What do you reckon?
Cheers,
Jin
Hi. Do you have a link to those Shimano hydraulic brake levers with integrated cutoff sensor? Thanks!
Hi, can tell me where you got the battery cover bag please, excellent idea, is it waterproof? are these kits, controllers etc all waterproof? - I tend to wrap mine in a plastic bag just incase. thanks.
Is a 48v 20ah battery enough for this bike or should I get a 48v 30ah or two 20ah batteries and connect it to the charger port of the first battery
I want to see inside the battery bag and battery dimensions. I am having a hard time finding a battery that will fit my full suspension MTB
Hello very nice video, but i was wondering what size your lekkie bling ring is ??? It looks like a 42T
You know what really grind your gears? The chain not properly placed on your narrow/wide chainring xD
Oooooh! Enclosing the high power battery in Nylon cover; wot abt cooling mate; recipe for frying the stuff one whole lot????
I will have get that electric bike pump when I can,it is awesome.
Lots of videos about Ebikes, Few about E-trikes.. but I found the video to be helpful. I am adding the bafang to a Terra Trike Rover next month. This is a tadpole recumbent trike, (entry level trike, only 8 speeds). Looking forward to it.
I run one on a Catrike Expedition, with a 53T chainring and a 15 speed SRAM XO 10-50T setup. Damn thing can growl up any hill and is wicked fast.
@@kirkjones9639 well I am slowly doing the video shoot of my build for my Bent channel (Ranging Rover). And yes, I am getting very specific as to How i do each step, and what tools are needed, etc.. its a nice slow project. I still have to buy the battery and 2 cables to finish it, but this COV shutdown has put a crimp in the finances..
I just can't get with the visuals of recumbent riding and the pointing and sniggering from high schoolers is quite off putting. He who rides recumbents is likely he who wears his bossier halfs knickers on a Saturday Eve. Just saying.
What are those shimano brakes 'with cut off built in'? Built-in from factory, or did you add a magnet and magnet sensor from Bafang kit?
Will you tell me where you found the triangle battery bag. I can't seem to find one anywhere.
Does anyone have any information about the the Befang 800 mid drive that is in the Motobecane gravel bike? I'm very interested in this bike but a little nervous about the system and how long it will last. Thanks Jim S
Is it possible to put an electric conversion kit on my Trek Roscoe 8? It has a 28T chainring and i dont think a larger chainring could fit. The frame like bends around it. Im new to MTB and even more so to EBikes.
I want to put a bbshd on a trek stache that has a pf92 bb is this possible without big issues?i know o need a pf92 to bsa adaptor but im concerned about the elevated chainstay and chainring also boost spacing chainline.can you give me any advice?or should i scrap the stache for another bike with a 72mm bb?
Great video
Can you help..? I have tried every full color display that is offered by Bafang.. Problem: every review is done inside and they look beautiful and clear... BUT..Once you take them out into the full sunlight (where you would actually use your ebike) the display is impossible to see.. Do you know if there are compatible displays for Bafang that are "SunLight Readable"..? I need to monitor my wattage consumption, Speed and Power level to match it to the best gear... I have a Solar Trailer and i need to optimize by using the least watts. I have not tried the DC-P18c or the TFT-850c yet... they are expensive and once you put them on the bike you can't return them. I can't keep wasting money trying every display that bafang offers. LOLI notice that you even filmed this in the shade of the building.. Or do you know if they offer a display like the 961 or 965 with a Watt/volt/speed indicator.. Those don't have any visibility problems.. :). Thanks Robb PDX USA
Where did you get the chainring from m8,please?
I have vbrakes on mine they work fine I finger lockup running schwalbe big Apple 2.1 tyres,and no disc drag
Where can i buy a shift sensor? Do you have a link im from europe use the bbshd to race against the boosted speed pedelec from my mate but we both keep ruining our cassettes when shifting
Hahaha look how young you look there! ;) I just bought a BBSHD 52V. I’m going to convert my schwinn to a ebike.
We need more and more about Bafang BBSHD and new one Bafang M510 / M620 Ultra
Just little more insight to the sensors. You don't need any. I do suggest as I call it the front brake/clutch. Thats all you need. Bike is way more manageable without sensors. For power control. Motor stops on its own with just small back peddle or my only sensor. Which I only use under extreme conditions. I change gear all time no sensor make sure you have lockout on your derailleur. Try get best chain. Im running 2018 giant trance 2 full suspension 150mm travel f n b. Trail enduro mtb. 2nd build not alot bikes out there keep up. Ebike power notgimg like it. Once you can handle the additional weight. Ill try shoot pic. 41mph with just control options snaller wheels on 27.5 and such. Try shoot a pic.
I thought it was necessary to keep the battery cool ? The company where I got my bike says to...and then too...putting a black bag over the battery would cause it to heat up more since it absorbs heat with the sun shining on it.
Hello im in the uk.Could you tell me the brand and model of your frame bag please.
What size leccy chainring did u put? How many teeth? U didnt mention when u were going through that
Great Video.
How much would it cost me to add this set up (or equivalent ) to a Trek Mb for speed, street only ?
Nice looking bike
thank you
6 things you need with a Bbshd......Check!
I am in the process of building one of these bikes and everything you mentioned I have covered.
Looks like I am on the right track.
20Ah 52v battery capable of -[10Kw]- 2.5Kw.....Check
46 tooth Bling ring....Check
Eggrider screen....Check
GearSensor....Check
Low range rear cogs for climbing and high gear cogs for speed......Check
Quality brakes......no! Dammit I knew I forgot something!
10kw is 10,000 Watts LOL.
@@jayryan7473 Yeah....Ouch, that is a little high!
Fixing mistake now.
were did you buy the shimano cut of brakes Thanks
Hello where u got that nice Triangle battery bag? :)=
What is the range from the 20 amp hr battery? U didnt say...
The auto shutoff is a pain with rear suspension , always shutting off over big bumps . Just get used to tapping the brake when changing , does the same thing and saves you the extortionate $40+ price
I would also say, an “eggrider” for better info, minimalist design and the ability to reprogram the controller on the fly (without a laptop).
A Cycle Analyst is also a great compliment to the Bafang displays.
A possibly “long term” investment and perfect compliment to the BBSHD is the Rohloff gear hub. Perfect chain line and higher and lower gear ratios than most derrailuers. Also less prone to damage.
EggRider is the best . Its in depth tweaking really makes you feel in control. Especially being able to control throttle ramp. Also it is tiny . I am into minimalism when it comes to the display , small is discreet and doesnt shout out 'steal me'
@@MYANTIHEROES I agree. The only downside, is I don't think it reads the battery with the same precision as the Cycle Analyst, although, once you've properly tested your battery, and are clear on it's power, limitations etc, I suppose this isn't such a problem.
I might have to look into a Rohloff . I switched to single speed because I was snapping too many 8-10 speed chains which cannot stand the torque of the motor. Also the mechanics of a chain flying through a very delicate derailleur at 30-35 mph whilst hammering over road potholes or off road is somewhat scary , the chain below was flapping around jumping off all the time. A chain guide is crucial for this and they attach to the bottom bracket , ISCG05 for most modern MTB or just make your own to stop the slack from the oversized long MTB derailleurs. I use a Paul Melvin tensioner instead of a derailleur and a Connex single speed chain otherwise carrying a chain splitter with you is a must for when you are 10 miles from home and your 10 speed chain bends and snaps . 10 speed chains by design are very weak because the design has to be so thin to go through the derailleur and also fit onto the thin gears on the cassette.
@@mick2d2 Yes and I run a 52v battery , so I don't look at percentage power left , I look at voltage because most displays are made for 48v batteries. The EggRider has a very interesting feature where you can immobilize the power with your cell phone. I havn't used this feature because I use a 6 pound Kryptonite chain and motorbike disc padlock every time I lock my bike up . I live in LA and its the new Bicycle theft capital of the USA .
@@MYANTIHEROES The Rohloff is quite a chunk of money short term, I think all told, with the wheel build and all the other bits and pieces it worked out to about 1400€.
Saying that, I've broken two Shimano Saints (about 140€ each) and a couple of cheaper derailleurs before fitting the Rohloff.
Once you badly bend a 10 speed derailleur, it's almost impossible to get it straight enough to change through all the gears again properly. I did this with both Saints, when the sacrificial piece on the frame of my bike, where the derailluer is fixed broke, sending them into the wheel, which mashed the derailluers up pretty badly.
I've heard people running the Rohloff for over 100K kilometres. It's also designed to be able to be fixed, with some sacrificial elements inside that are designed to break before the gears do.
It's also great to be able to do sudden huge shifts up or down, although you do need to adjust to easing off the power for the changes. You can't grind it through the gears under power, like you can with a derailleur.
You also get constant chain tension, perfect chain line and can use much sturdier chains.
It gives you a huge range of gears too, more than you need for the BBSHD.
I've done about 5000km on mine so far.
I tried the locking feature on the Eggrider once and couldn't get back in for a while, so I deactivated it. I never really let my bike out of my sight when I'm out and about, so don't need it.
I use the Watt hour reading on the Cycle Analyst as my "fuel gauge".
HELLO KYLE
I like the TFT screen is this screen suitable on your KT controllers.??? I noticed you had the old style fashioned LCD screen on one bike and then the new Bafang TFT on your last bike shown ??
One tech question why do rear Bafang rear hubs don't have a electronic gearshift inbuilt gearbox. If theres space for a 8 speed cassette and a set of planetary gears why can't they put all bits in one unit?
This would get rid of of all those shimano bits...cassettes would disappear..chains and cables and quickshiters as well. Motor and gear box together with a direct drive shaft via a reduction box to the pedals.I propose to call it a e fat velex....A bit like the old solex 2 stroke bikes in France.
Ps don't forget my enquiry for those bits ....will send you photo of rear plug when it stops raining ...5 days of non stop cats and dogs and no space to get the bike stand out.😁
A good video to make would be how to fit brake lights on e fat bike using strip leds fastened to the rear frame support .😎
Patrick, that particular screen is not compatible with the KT controllers, but I do have a color display, the KT-LCD8H that is. As far as an internal gear set within the hub, Bafang does not have one. It is certainly possible however as I test rode a bike with it at Interbike this year!
Nice video and bike.
Thanks!
I am seriously considering converting a fat bike. I have been researching and watching lots of videos. I was going to save up and buy a production model with a rear hub motor, but after watching videos it looks like mid drive is the way to go. Problem is, I can't afford a factory built mid drive model, and I like to put things together. There is one nagging question I have regarding the speed sensor. Is there a proper place to put the magnet on the spoke or does it even matter? A follow up question: can you install a different style of speed sensor (forgot the tech term for that configuration).
Thanks for your time and your easy to understand presentation.
On ebay or amazon were a lot of fat bikes with price tag between 600-1500€. Only question which grade gear they have.
Somewhere here on youtube was another video about the bufang mid motors. Everything regarding e-kit what was described in this video already included in the package.
On that videos people put sensor close to back shifter, less to cut pipe channels, but potentially more dirt there.
Wooowww very very nice video you covered lots of details!!! Great channel mate... SUBSCRIBED for more POWEEEEEERR ohhh yeaaahhh
Nice to have you Bruno! Love your videos, anyone watching the BoltonEbikes channel should subscribe to you too!
Bolton Ebikes hahaaaaa yeahhh I’m watching your videos here... you’re helping lot of people out there... keep up te good work =]
Thanks! Keep up with those crazy powered whatever you're making!
Does the BBSHD have drag when the battery goes out, or what I'm asking is can you ride it like a regular bike without the battery?
A small amount, but can certainly be pedaled like a regular bike.
Nice bike
Where is your shop? And is there a better place i could ask you a few questions.
The link to the kit is dead. I assume they're no longer available based upon your more recent videos. Let us know. Thanks!
great video. Thanks for not making it 20 minutes long. Short and to the point! Do you recommend the brake cut off? I was just going to go with the shift sensor. I mean, I'm not pedaling and braking at the same time so wont the power cut off anyways?
Agree. Brake cut off unnecessary.
No the bbshd actually still powers for a few seconds after u stopped peddling, you can adjust this with programming cable but i'll tell you from the point of someone whos had bbshd for 3yrs its helped me but saying that, if you have powerful brakes u can live without them, i believe some countries including uk require them.
I wonder what thar top speed would be if you opened it up on the road with a narrower tyre more suited to tarmac?
Perhaps we will know with the new mountain bike coming up!
How far does that go with normal riding across a city?
Hey Kyle. I installed a BBSHD on a 2012 Jamis Dragon 29 a couple months ago. Since it has gotten colder the chain rolls off the chainring most times I stop pedaling. I bought a Lekki 42 tooth and same scenario. The chainring keeps turning when I stop pedaling, even with pedal assist at 0, and with the chain on the most aligned cog in the rear(4th largest in 9 speed). Would a chain guide fix? Any thoughts?
if you have one try leaving the front derailer on as a guide. or yes the chain guides are a good chance too.
Where is your store located?
Can I get a link to the brakes pls
You mention a shift sensor. Does the BBSHD come with one or do you have to buy it separately? Also, if the giveaway item is an ebike, would you consider me as a recipient? I live in the mountains and as I wheel into my 6th decade of life, riding just isn't getting any easier.
That I'd a separate item. And I do plan on a bike giveaway again at 10k subs. :)
How did you get hydraulic brakes without that stupid glue on magnet thing ??
Do you have any issues changing to the outermost gears as far as chain having to bend sideways?
U do get issues, lining up may require u to true the hanger alignment but i find most often its just cable tension slack if they don't change as good, the chain ring wears the most.
i am having a heck of a time finding a 48v 13ah battery that will fit my 15.5inch 29er frame. super small triangle on it. any advice for this? i really want it to fit in the triangle, having all that weight on a rear rack is not going to work for the trails.
Put a battery on the chain stays on each side and run them in series. Keeps the center of gravity low.
How fast it motor get heated up on higher gear
Would there be any issue with having a 58ah battery? Would that overload the circuitry?
I recently built my bike and am having troubles with it randomly shutting off. Also if there any real reason to have a speedo sensor on the bike? Does it aid in functionality?
More ah = more range. No downside aside from cost and weight. Speedometer sensor is necessary on a mid drive like this. Won't work without it.
I have discs but they are non hydraulic. Came on my Big Dummy. I don’t really desire changing them. Will they work alright?
If adjusted properly they'll work.
did you use your stock hydrolic brakes and get the cut off accesory or did you buy them integrated?
I added brake cutoff switches to these.
how do you get into programming mode on the bafang display?
you have to buy the cable and download bafang software. Connect the cable to display connector of your motor and usb port on PC.
Neat bike
Who's going to start making add-ons and upgrades for lectric XP bikes?
Overheating bbshd ? I live in Scotland and only over heating in the hottest of days we don’t get that much heat here. But still I wonder what’s causing it . Tyre pressure ? I have smaller fat tyres 20”. Heavy bike ? Have you come across this problem thanks
Make sure everything spins freely and you're not running in a gear too high from a stop. Should run easily on a 20" wheel.
As a year+ owner of a BBSHD, I agree with much of what is said here. But, IMO a cassette of gears are a waste. Both my BBSHD have been switched to 3 speed and 5 speed IGH's. The 3 speed is more than enough for most road use, and the 5 spd is perfect for hill climbs. All without ugly gear set that can get caked with mud and debris. Hydraulic brakes are a must for MTBs, but not so much for road use. Again, I chose an IGH with internal drum brakes that can not get wet or loose stopping power or get small rocks/ debris in. Drums are great for street, not so much for MTBs tho. With the numerous videos of BBSHDs out, I was hoping for some info not covered by everyone else, like light integration, puck converter uses, contoller programming, phaserunner/ ludicrous controller installation, etc. The info covered here is fairly basic. That is not meant as a bad thing. Many people can still use, and likely search for it, but with the BBSD being nearly 10 years old now, I was expecting some more up to date, and technical info. Well done otherwise.
Depends on the terrain I'd say. 5 speed would function, but definitely wouldn't give me the range I'd like to have. In other areas it would be sufficient.
Kyle, I love your videos and the whole concept you're presenting here. If you're interested in I partnering with a creative drive train and power delivery systems designer who has unlocked keys to performance, efficiency and all out balls out power that can make just about any bike I've converted dust every bike you've ever showcased, I'd be willing to entertain the idea. If for no other reason than the fact that it would allow me to make more ebike Magick happen. I will be coming out with a conversion kit of each type I have designed soon, so get in touch if you think you or your customers would like bikes that are faster, have more torque, and whose battery life to range ratio is triple, we can talk. All the best to you man. Keep it up. My bikes will dust that Bafang at 48v.
V-amp-Higher™
Inner Sanctum I don't see any reason for that. There are limits to how fast a bicycle should go. You do realize they make electric motorcycles intended for higher speeds right? Whole different ball game than what this video is about.
#7 Beer holder
What does “speed unlocked” mean? I have the 1000w and at power level 9 it doesn’t feel as fast as I imagined it would have.
speed unlocked means that it removes the street legal speed and power limit.
Time has passed now, did you get upto speed?
@@markweatherall7437 I did yes but it never was enough for me. I ended up getting a Sur Ron X and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!

They wave at you, give you all kinds of room, I've even had them hold up traffic, so I could get out of a parking lot. Take yer life in your hands, riding a bike as far I'm concerned.
Does it damage the motor at all when pushing a bike fitted with a Bafang Mid-drive Motor backwards?
Would love to know the same as well. I can't imagine it would, but it would be nice to know
@@MoyesAdventures At the bare minimum it will explode. The whole world feels the fun is worth the risk.
The bbshd runs 30 amps at 48 volts or 28 amps at 52 volts
How often do you have to replace the chain and cassette?
Probably half a dozen times a year ,if daily riding of 50+ miles
@@paulschmidtke425 then your bike set up is not corelated
Possible using the wrong gears when tackling incline
And using throttle taking on steep hill .
Do you have a gear shift sensor ?
That would give your chain much needed protection
Can I just buy the winning prize? Looks cool. How much would it be?
Feel free to email me at kyle@velomobileshop.com for information on current bikes.
#1 item needed by all BBSHD owners...........3000 watt Ludicrous controller from Lunacycles. Ditch the display(less wires). Agree with most the rest.....my$.02
I have the same battery as you described in your video. What kind of range would you expect from the battery?
I built a similar bike but slightly bigger battery at 25 amp hours. I can do 60-80 km accross varied terrain including decent hills. This is full throttle use only. Using peddle assist you could go all day easily.

I asked the same question but it appears he's ignoring us? :( Did you find out what number teeth lekkie ring for higher speeds?
@@markweatherall7437 More teeth equals higher top speed so I'm assuming it's 46T.
Why no street bikes?
36 MPH that is Quick for a mid drive.
How much is a shift sensor
They're available at BoltonEbikes.com
you do not need a shift sensor if your using internal gear hub, like a shimano nexus 7. It instantly changes gears.
I'd still recommend it. With a mid-drive and internal hub my experience is that letting off the power is still the best choice.
completely wrong!
internal - external, both gears need to have no stress from the motor while shifting.
I thought QS makes the motor ebike motors out there?? If not then who makes the best of the best ebike motor?? Please answer sir
Depends on what you need or want. QS does make good powerful hub motors, but not the "best" in all situations.
Bolton Ebikes then whos make the best motor then?
@@chevyssboy89 who makes the best tires? Depends on what you need. Off-road? On road? Hills? Top speed? Lightweight? What is it that you want?
