I love your custom band clamp idea for battery attachment and have made use of it. I gave you credits in my video comments of my custom ebike build video (to be released on 12/15/23).
The BBS02 is an amazing motor really, my 1500w rear hub with a 960wh battery gives 32 miles with heavy pedaling, Whilst offering significantly less torque only 40nm, whilst your getting 3x that with half the power.
@@zantesh oh wow. That's some good perspective because I have been really curious about hub motors lately. I actually purchased a BBSHD for 208US on an eBay auction rectently. 424CAD in total. Should check out the used eBay auctions.. I believe the account name was "mossen"
@Voltermort Did you find that the bbs02b wasn't enough in the end? Since you are considering hubs. That price for a used bbshd is amazing, I'd buy one in a heartbeat for that much.
Watt-hours per mile is a good indicator of economy. Another, simpler, metric is kilometers per volt used. Generally you can get a range of 8 or 9 volts from full charge to full discharge, so you can estimate cycling range without any power calculations.
Hi, great vid. I see you have very similar break/gear shifters as i have. I was wondering did you add the motor cut off switch to the breaks, i cant quite see. It also says the recomended cassette is a 9 speed and i see you have 7 like mine. Does it make much of a difference? Thanks
Hey, thanks for that. I didn't add the shift sensor, instead I use the brake sensors. it is a little bit tedious as you have to remember to do it though. Something I have been meaning to get around to... I also never knew that about the 9-speed. It hasn't been an issue at all. Although I think the reason that they want you to have a 9 speed is to reduce the scenario that the motor is spinning slowly yet applying lots of current which would generate lots of heat. My guess. I just make sure to be conscious about not applying the motor at extremely low rpm and high torque scenarios
Thanks for the video. As a fellow Torontonian, I'm also contemplating this DIY given the insane traffic. Do you mind sharing where you purchased your BBS02B? I'm debating purchasing via Ali Express versus trying to find a good e-bike store here in the GTA that might be a good source for parts. Cheers!
So you feel the pain that I feel everyday. Honestly this plus a bike rack has saved me hours every single day. I actually bought from amazon.ca . I can let you know the seller when I get home. Pretty sure it's the only one. No complaints!
Hey so i checked and the seller was Accolmile. on amazong. No complaints. They were helpful when i had to message them after the initial order as welll. I think you should go for it if it saves you from being stuck in traffic and gas. So far i've taken $140 off the total price in gas savings
What is the max speed on 26 wheels? I have got gt arrowhead and i bought bbs02 500watt and 20ah 48v. Not yet converted. Are U satisfied with results? Any problems with chain line?
It has been great. With a 48T chainring, i could hit 50kph if pedalling hard. Most of the time around 40kph. I'm very satisfied however sometimes when you have to come to an abrupt stop, and are still in a low gear, its very hard to get the bike moving from a standstill in low gear with the extra weight to shift up to a higher gear and get moving again. Takes a bit of planning. Shift up before stopping. One more thing to think about though. Makes me curious about a hub motor.
you don't have to, there's a throttle, can take you without pedalling no problem but this BBS02B is more intended to assist you while pedalling in my opinion. The assist is very strong, even at best, i would say i'm contributing only 10% to the momentum. The bbshd can go throttle only all day without overheating i think. BBS02B heats up a bit easier i think

thank you for giving the battery specs, volts and Ah. You would not believe how many people miss that!
Thanks for watching :)
Phenomenal video. Great build! Looking forward to more content 😃
Thanks! 🙂

Thanks for saying so! Glad you found it useful. Many months later and that mount has been rock solid.
I'll keep an eye out 😉
Your DIY bike stand looks good, I might copy that. Also how you used the ladder as a bike work stand a good idea. Good vid thanks.
Thanks, appreciate it 🙏

Get a Grin Satiator and start thinking in Amp Hours.
Sorry late response. I really like that idea. Much simpler

Do you still recommend this kit ? Someone offered me a brand new bbso2 kit for 300€ and im really thinking about buying it
@@aski1529 I totally recommend it. I've got over 2,000km on mine and going strong. I would personally be more interested in the bbsHD these days

will the battery be removable? aka, after a ride or before a ride i can take it off, charge it, and then put it back on the bike?
Yes of course. Charger connector is on the battery itself. Can be charged separately
Crazy it's legal
Not legal where you're at?
Why 02b & not the 02 ???
amazing video thanks volt seen oher also use 2b strong so strong powerful and batteri is massive ;)
Thanks for watching :) yes, enjoying it quite a bit
do you need to pedal to make it go ?
you don't have to, there's a throttle, can take you without pedalling no problem but this BBS02B is more intended to assist you while pedalling in my opinion. The assist is very strong, even at best, i would say i'm contributing only 10% to the momentum. The bbshd can go throttle only all day without overheating i think.

Will this work on a bike without gears
Yes for sure. But I'd recommend a hub motor personally for a single speed bike
Voltermort 😂
Those brakes are way underpowered for that engine. Please be careful.
