25Mph is what I call a perfect combination with my 750w bafang bbs02 and light a light 9 gear bicycle. I really dont need to go any faster. Its fast enough to go nuts on a bicycle lane and overtake anyone on it. At the same time its advisable to turn down the assist a couple of notches in heavy traffic. Remember . This is illigal power and you are paying for it if anything goes wrong
@@isickofit ( I meant FIRST gears, typo...) OK. Given how powerful this motor is, I was wondering if you still had to downshift sometimes.... So the answer is yes ! Thank you !
I commute 32 km (total) a day on my bbs02 with a 13ah battery. Can get there and back, but typically I recharge at work and at home so the battery is between 100 and 50 percent at all times. Always use it at max power.. cruising at 30mph + is amazing. Fastest way to commute in my area for sure. Done 1600km in 3 months. Still going strong. Just needed a new chain and cassette, easy. Motor runs a bit loud now especially when cold? Not sure if I should do anything with it
@@lilkeh1407 yes it works great. I would go for the 17.5 ah battery if you were building your own kit. For example I went 40 km with mixed riding on medium assistance and had maybe 30 percent left on a touring ride. When I bike to work on max assistance I have about 60 percent remaining after doing 16 km on fill power where I'm not really needing to pedal at all. I think a 17.5 ah battery would be better if you need more range. Same form factor as far as I'm aware
@@Bosphorus2BigBen My bbs02 round 900 Km (559 miles) yesterday. The motor was lagging and shut down sometimes. I had to solder the plugs connecting the battery. Not a big job. I also gave the motor some extra grease. This is the best motor I had on this bike. Just some smaller issues.
I suggest getting a USB cable so you can tweak the controller firmware. The motor is rated for 750 watts but the controller comes configured from factory with 24 amps, that at 48v does 1152 watts. It comes 'overclocked' from factory that isn't very good for the controller and motor.
bro you dont need the gear sensor. just slightly tap your brakes to cut off the motor and then cycle till it changes gears and your good to go. and at least with this method you can decide if its safe to restart the motor. i have the bbs02 as well. good tool for my west london roads.
I use a gear sensor and thumb stop button works really good for me especially if changing a few gears at once I can hold it in. I never pedal just before braking
Absolutely, also make it a habit to shift all the way down to 1st when coming to a stop. Then you can shift 2 gears at a time when accelerating... Your rear cogs will thank you for it
I know you were testing it out but you jumped at least 1 red light & showed next to no consideration for other road users. Do all cyclists ride like this in London ? Looks like a nice bit of kit though, beats my hub motors
Only 1? Aw damn, must have been a green light day. But seriously, I don’t blame cyclists for skipping reds and doing whatever they want. They’re more pedestrians than road users in the real world.
There is also a limit on max watt output, its supposed to be limited at 250w. So this bicycle is now classed as a motorcycle or moped in the UK and as such has to be licensed and insured (Also no bicycle lanes and you have to wear a full crash helmet). Basically....he gonna get a visit from the met lol
@@mattblack6736 power doesnt mean anything there are plenty of bikes in production that are 500w and even 750w restricted to 15mph. he obviously ain't the only one riding an e bike so stop with negativity
If this were to be setup as a single speed what sprocket and cog would be a good all around gear...I like how much lighter the bbs02 is Rather than the bbshd. But I would like a simple get it home gear just incase the motor or battery goes down for any reason . Thnx & cheers
I'm so getting one of these so that I can transport my fat ass over great distances as I live in a rural and somewhat remote area and not having a drivers license I'm otherwise forced to ride the bus, but a ticket today doesn't justify the price, so an investment like that motor would pay itself over time. Also, no need to wait for buses that goes from point A to B when you can go anywhere with one of these.
Thanks for the video. What is your chain ring teeth size (40, 42 ,etc.) Did you get a lekkie bling ring? Wondering if you had any issue fitting chain ring on to your Pinnacle Kapur - chain stay interference is common - a chain ring with good offset usually helps with aligning chain ring to middle of rear cassette.
Hi, I’m looking at fitting one of these to my Carrera Vengeance. When I go to various sites to order one it asks for which model. Which one did you go for? Thanks
So the one i have is the bbs02 which is the 750watt, the BBSHD is slightly stronger with a 1000watt capacity. The 750watt does the job.. (for me anyway)
really cool bike. Im looking into building my own with the Kapur as a base and would be greatful doe your advice. did you build the bike yourself and if so was the bottom bracket shell compatible without any modifications. Thanks.
That's great to know, ive decided to go with the Kapur and just ordered two from Evans. thanks for the quick reply, its helped me a lot.@@Bosphorus2BigBen

Yes can be dangerous on our roads unfortunately. New bike lanes have been put in place in the recent years in London which is always good for riders. Not so many trails in central London but very nice bikeparks/trails within the UK. Thankyou,
@@lilkeh1407 i see.. I thought you was building it from scratch.. when it comes to batteries i would definitely recommend you to get a good one. (Samsung cells) (LG cells).
The BBS02B is rated for 750W, but, it can pull a máx of 25amps at 48v so theoretically can do 1200 watts. I shouldn't set it up to pull the full 25amps. The controller wouldn't last.
Thats right.. the front derailleur is not in use. I just kept it incase i decide to use it as a normal bike. Throttle only can easy hit 30mph on a straight road. Would drain the battery more on throttle only.
Some bicycles have problems of chain derailing because of chain angle when using 1st and 2nd gear. Keeping the front derailleur is a good idea so the chain won't come out.
question to You dear sir, Since You are based in UK how does bafang does against rain. I want to buy one for my bizango but living in Manchester I am afraid motor will die in 2 months due to constant rain lol Im cycling everyday 20 miles work/back.
Great video, What type of range will you get out of this using pedal assist. I’ve just purchased a BAFANG 750w with a Samsung 48v 20 ah battery. I’m just waiting for it to arrive.
What ah battery are using thinking of getting the bbs02 750w for travelling to and from work its about 30 miles total run wondering if I'd make it on a charge
There's a guy on youtube doing bbs02b 50amps mods :D but only the B version. Twice the power!! I don't think I would do it without an internal gear hub.

Hello mate, nice video, I'm planning to buy the conversion kit from bafang as well. I'm living in Borehamwood, can you tell me where did you buy it, if you did the installation yourself or you took the bike somewhere to install the kit for you... I'm a bit afraid of buying it and get stuck during the installation.
Hi mate, i did install the kit myself, Its pretty straightforward if you have the right tools. You could follow me on insta @mtbpedalist. Happy to help. Good luck
I ordered mine from Aliexpress about 2 years ago. BBS02b 48v 770w. Got the battery from there too, 52v. It came in about 2 weeks and was easy to install. I got the 500c display, which is smaller, but I think you don't really need a bigger one. The only issue I have with the 500c is that it's designed for 48v so the battery level bars are not correct. But the voltage is, and that's what really matters anyways. I do recommend the 52v battery. It seems to maintain a bit more power even when it's getting nearer to empty. Before you order, make sure to take all the measurements to make sure it fits. Especially the battery. Most batteries I found have the mounting holes too high for most frames, but I got one that has adjustable mounting. Installation is straightforward and there are good videos on YT if you need help. And just common sense for most parts will help. The outer casing of the motor is aluminium, so don't over tighten any screws like I did. You'll likely need one or two bottom bracket spacers to adjust the distance of the motor from the frame. You'll find those in most bike shops, at least ones that also do bike maintenance. I needed two 2mm ones for mine. Also, do get the gear shift sensor which you'll likely need to buy separately, but you'll save your chain and transmission. And the brake sensors are also must have. Because after you stop pedaling, the motor will actually continue for about a second and if you lock your rear wheel you'll likely break something. The bafang front chain ring sucks. I had a constant problem with the chain falling off. Changed it to Lekkie bling ring 42t which works great. It's aluminium so it wears off quite fast. Had to change mine at 1300km. But no more chain falling off. And also, don't buy the cheapest chain from local supermarket, buy ones that are designed for ebikes, there's a difference.
@@jeevan8197 750 is more than enough. just make sure your bike has at least disc brakes dont think about installing it on a rim brake bike too dangerous. and the sur ron while its good value, it looks to much like a motor cycle and your more likely to get stopped id say just go for this kit.
Can anyone answer this question? I have a 10kg bike and I'm 50kg guy i can pedal my bike up to 35- 40 kph if i install 250 watts motor can i get more speed or nothing will change?
Better acceleration only. And probably little bit more easy for keeping that speed. 40kmh for legs 🦵, you are good cyclist mate. Better buy 750w or 1000w if you have funds.
@@ivanpetrov2280 Thank you pal! it's just my hobby and here in asia if you're not fast enough big vehicles will eat you.😂 and thank you for the information! I'll try to look for 750 watts then.
@@Bosphorus2BigBen Oh wow that really does seem like a lot. I'm not sure that's accurate though because many people online said they'd get maybe 16-20 miles throttle only. I'm excited to find out and going to get my 17AH battery soon, will let you know if I test it out
i use throttle only. i have a 52v 20 amp with chinese cells and i get about 40miles but it gets weaker towards the lower end, if you get high quality samsung cells youd get better results when the battery starts to drop
I've got the same motor on my and it's brilliant ill never go back to the hub motor again unless it was a 72v i have got the gear sensor and kmc chain plus 36T chain ring up front for more torque 😅

drivers have to up their game because when a bicycle comes along the road you cant presume you can pull out in front of it before it reaches you because some e-bikes really shift along
Hum! I get 32mph top speed on a BBSHD at 1600w throttle only on a downhill bike. I though it was supposed to be be faster than the bbs02. Me and bike = approx 230 lbs. What is you guys Weight with bike?

@@marklonergan3114 I used to think the same watching these videos, but after fitting out my own bike I realised that it is not as crazy as it looks. The go pro tunnel viewpoint makes things look more hectic, and faster, than they are from the rider’s eyeballs’ perspective.
Watts only helps in torgue. Acceleration and going up steep hills . On flat ground a 500w motor will be the same speed as 1000w. Speed is the Volt rating of the system.
Assist 9 - 15mp/h???? Whatt.. are you sure, is it restricted from the screen?? Ops, ye i see later you go over 30mp/h 😀 You can reprogrammed easy ! You know it?
Lmfao no wonder ebikes are restricted and local laws make it hard. This guy went through red lights and down the wrong side of the road. Ride on the road obey the road rules 😂😂
You shouldn’t be surprised , that there is no respect to the cyclist if there is most cyclists like you breaking most of the road rules. All cyclists should keep the same rules on the road like the cars do. You put in danger you what is no my business, but you put in danger other people that using the paths and roads. Take it into consideration and stay safe. Keep well.

The outer casing of the motor is aluminium, so don't over tighten any screws like I did. You'll likely need one or two bottom bracket spacers to adjust the distance of the motor from the frame. You'll find those in most bike shops, at least ones that also do bike maintenance. I needed two 2mm ones for mine.
Also, do get the gear shift sensor which you'll likely need to buy separately, but you'll save your chain and transmission. And the brake sensors are also must have. Because after you stop pedaling, the motor will actually continue for about a second and if you lock your rear wheel you'll likely break something.
The bafang front chain ring sucks. I had a constant problem with the chain falling off. Changed it to Lekkie bling ring 42t which works great. It's aluminium so it wears off quite fast. Had to change mine at 1300km. But no more chain falling off. And also, don't buy the cheapest chain from local supermarket, buy ones that are designed for ebikes, there's a difference.
@@TheTurtlefarm have you a link for it please
@@TheTurtlefarm thank you, about to do a conversion myself and your advice is invaluable!
@@TheTurtlefarm Hi, i oredered this Bafang 48V 750W ,so i need 52v battery ? insted of 48v?Thanks.
Nice video! Lovely day in London! I was wondering how much range do you get usually with this setup? ( I'm looking to buy the same)
Thankyou
Your looking around 30-40 miles depending on how you ride.
@@Bosphorus2BigBen have you got a link were you got your motor thanks
@@niceboy761 ordered from China (Aliexpress) they have full range of models and kits.
@@Bosphorus2BigBen never used AliExpress so I was just asking people in uk for links then I know witch shops are legit
your comment is from 7 months ago but you could get it on amazon
What is it top speed
U reckon fitting that on my basic mtb would be fine
Yeah i don’t see why not.. as long as you have decent tyres fitted it should be fine.
And speed and power wise is 750w enough u reckon
@@jeevan8197 more than enough.. unless your Tryna race a car 😆
@@Bosphorus2BigBen 😭😭😭😭want a sur ron tbh but I was thinking the conversion maybe better for me
@@jeevan8197 750 is more than enough. just make sure your bike has at least disc brakes dont think about installing it on a rim brake bike too dangerous. and the sur ron while its good value, it looks to much like a motor cycle and your more likely to get stopped id say just go for this kit.
Muswell Hill hmmm I coulda done it on a pushbike in my YOOF
Can anyone answer this question? I have a 10kg bike and I'm 50kg guy i can pedal my bike up to 35- 40 kph if i install 250 watts motor can i get more speed or nothing will change?
Better acceleration only. And probably little bit more easy for keeping that speed. 40kmh for legs 🦵, you are good cyclist mate.
Better buy 750w or 1000w if you have funds.
@@ivanpetrov2280 Thank you pal! it's just my hobby and here in asia if you're not fast enough big vehicles will eat you.😂 and thank you for the information! I'll try to look for 750 watts then.
@@ramranchcowboy8857 did you get your bbs02 with 750w? I imagine you were riding a road bike … what is your top speed now?
Obviously have no hazard perception. If you come off at that speed with no safety clothing, you can probably say good night.
Hi, what’s your range like if you were to just use throttle? And what’s your battery capacity at that? Thanks
I haven’t tested only throttle as of yet but it shouldn’t be any less than 40km on my battery which is a 17.5 mah capacity.
@@Bosphorus2BigBen Oh wow that really does seem like a lot. I'm not sure that's accurate though because many people online said they'd get maybe 16-20 miles throttle only. I'm excited to find out and going to get my 17AH battery soon, will let you know if I test it out
@@Bosphorus2BigBen were did you get your motor from pal
@@niceboy761 online.. amazon, ebay.
i use throttle only. i have a 52v 20 amp with chinese cells and i get about 40miles but it gets weaker towards the lower end, if you get high quality samsung cells youd get better results when the battery starts to drop
Hang on my tyres take max 75psi so 27psi is pretty low I'm sure that's around what you would want if you where off road mountain biking
Its only wtb comp tyres.. entry level mtb.
Where to buy it?
Local bike shop..
48v or 52v battery?
48v
I've got the same motor on my and it's brilliant ill never go back to the hub motor again unless it was a 72v i have got the gear sensor and kmc chain plus 36T chain ring up front for more torque 😅
Nice.. I didn’t have a clue these even existed like a couple months before I installed mine :) but defo worth it.
where you bought it?
@@ssmracing7 AliExpress
@@Bosphorus2BigBen nice im getting 750w from AliExpress Greenenergy electric bike store 750w bafang 860c new display Hailong LG Cells 48V 20A 960Wh battery how much range i would get you think.
@@ssmracing7 it depends really.. weather, Terrain, Weight. The pedal assist you use (1-9)
But i would say a minimum of 35-40 miles.
drivers have to up their game because when a bicycle comes along the road you cant presume you can pull out in front of it before it reaches you because some e-bikes really shift along
Death rates are the same as these as motorcycles for a reason.
What is youe top speed?
40mph slightly downhill
31mph without pedalling. 42 down hill
Hum! I get 32mph top speed on a BBSHD at 1600w throttle only on a downhill bike. I though it was supposed to be be faster than the bbs02. Me and bike = approx 230 lbs.
What is you guys Weight with bike?
I’m going for the same build with higher ah but can’t decide between the voltages 48v vs 52v for a 750w motor
I would recommend 48v for the 750w motor.
@@Bosphorus2BigBen what if I get the 1000w motor instead is 48v is still good?
@@Steviewonderwhy for 1000w 52v is good
@@Bosphorus2BigBen mines a 750w bafang mid drive motor. Stl to fit gear sencor on the gears. Plus getting 4pot upgraded hydraulic disk brakes. My zoom 2pot just not enough for the torgue in setting 9.cant fault this in any way. Took out in all weather's. Mud the lot. Next build is a bbhd 1000 w/1500 w, a 52v bafang battery. Also fit my brake sencor when get new zoom hydraulic disk brakes. My giant talon 3. Has one zoom. One clarks hydraulic brakes. Good to have a pair. Im lucky our halfords Aberdeen are ace
I suggest getting a USB cable so you can tweak the controller firmware. The motor is rated for 750 watts but the controller comes configured from factory with 24 amps, that at 48v does 1152 watts. It comes 'overclocked' from factory that isn't very good for the controller and motor.
I have done it.It was not so complicated as I thought. :)
The first problem is that you ride on the wrong side of the street... 😀
No problems over here mate.. Infact all drivers and riders are sensible and trained before being on road.. come one day you wouldn’t want to leave.. 😆
@@Bosphorus2BigBen crazy cycling, no respect for ANYONE else on the road.
@@marklonergan3114 It's London.
its not the wrong side of the road but the right side of the road because its the left side of the road (in UK we drive on the left side)
@@marklonergan3114 I used to think the same watching these videos, but after fitting out my own bike I realised that it is not as crazy as it looks. The go pro tunnel viewpoint makes things look more hectic, and faster, than they are from the rider’s eyeballs’ perspective.
if a 750w is doing that imagine a 1000w lol
Watts only helps in torgue. Acceleration and going up steep hills . On flat ground a 500w motor will be the same speed as 1000w. Speed is the Volt rating of the system.
Hill that's not a hill!
Wht is top speed ?
35-40 mph. Depends on the road
I don't like cyclists who don't follow the rules of the road. Take care of yourself.
Assist 9 - 15mp/h???? Whatt.. are you sure, is it restricted from the screen??
Ops, ye i see later you go over 30mp/h 😀
You can reprogrammed easy ! You know it?
I do yes.. its a very steep hill. If you see the road how steep it is, with the naked eye you would understand 😅
Lmfao no wonder ebikes are restricted and local laws make it hard. This guy went through red lights and down the wrong side of the road. Ride on the road obey the road rules 😂😂
You shouldn’t be surprised , that there is no respect to the cyclist if there is most cyclists like you breaking most of the road rules. All cyclists should keep the same rules on the road like the cars do. You put in danger you what is no my business, but you put in danger other people that using the paths and roads. Take it into consideration and stay safe. Keep well.
Apart from this above, the bike conversion is very good 👍
he was keeping the same rules as car drivers do, that's why he went through a red light..
