I had to bore out the bottom bracket tube and use a rubber mallet to get my BBSHD installed. Then I used a seat post mounted rack and customized it to mount a Hailong battery. Wish I can get the seat lower and put a +20Ah battery in the triangle.
BBSHD. Lekkie bling ring. The shift sensor stops the motor momentarily to allow for a smooth shift. Derailleur works like normal. Awesome setup. 120 mm BBSHD

The battery was chosen for its size and so that a rigid case wouldn’t obstruct the curved lines of the bike. That being said, I would likely build or have built a custom battery case that follows the contours of the frame. There is also the option of a second small battery in parallel or simply removed replaced when dead.
I have this exact bike and want to put a mid drive on it, grateful someone else already documented it.
Awesome. Share a pic with us when you finish your project!

What hub do you have on this bicycle? How does it work having a derailleur on a mid drive electric? How is shifting? What is the OLD on your bike?
BBSHD. Lekkie bling ring. The shift sensor stops the motor momentarily to allow for a smooth shift. Derailleur works like normal. Awesome setup. 120 mm BBSHD
What's the size of the bottom bracket on the silk bicycle?
It is 100+ if I remember correctly. You will need the larger BBSHD (120mm) due to the fat tires. It’s advised to have a spacer or two on hand.
Did you have to add any spacers on this kit? Thanks
No spacer for this bike. It was a 120mm BB.
Any links to the battery and the mid drive you used?

@@ElectricAllWheel what battery would you recommend for longer amp hours?

@@ElectricAllWheel How many miles do you get from peddle assist and throttle? thanks for putting up this video as I plan to do the same!
With overuse of throttle < 10
Battery must be tiny
Hell I don't know why everyone don't just place music instead of actually talk in videos
We have been contemplating switching it up. I assume you vote to maintain the status quo?
@@ElectricAllWheel no I was being a smartass
@@ferguson8143 good news, lol
