Thanks Bruno for your words and for being part of this channel. You’re actually Felipe’s idol and we feel so grateful to have you commenting here! Thanks again and please stay tuned for more. So much Poweeer!!
You have a great personality and great knowledge. Thanks for actually talking through the rationale behind parts of the install instead of showing us with random background music like most other videos.
Wasn't the most comprehensive video I've seen on the subject BUT it was very short and what it did provide was all the extra tips that I've not seen in any other video so far on the subject. Very helpful, short, and ensures the avoidance of some very bad errors. Thank you for posting this.
So glad that I found your channel, by far the best E bike channel on You Tube. In this video you say tighten the bottom bracket to 80Nm, but in your other video on the installation of the Bafang motor, you say tighten it to 60Nm. Which is the correct torque Thanks for all the time and work you put in to helping others
Hi Richard, that's true. We've said in previous videos to tighten the nut to 60Nm because that's Bafang's recommendation. However, at the shop, we have been doing 80Nm, and after much discussion with our mechanics, we decided to publicly say 80Nm is the correct torque, even though it's not endorsed by Bafang. So, in old videos, you will hear me saying 60Nm; in newer videos, you will hear me saying it's 80Nm, swimming against the tide and haters. Still, it is what it is; in real-world exposure, tightening the motor with 60Nm won't hold it in place, and 80Nm does the job without compromising the motor's integrity. Thank you for your kind words and appreciation; I wish you all the best with your installation.
I could instantly see that you are at the highest level of mechanical skills over all of the other bafang installation videos that I have previously watched! Leading me to subscribe and smash the like for this quality content.
Hi, Felipe. My name is Caes. I was born in the Netherlands in 1956 and grew up on a bike, starting on a little tricycle at the age of 4. In1987 I moved to Australia and now live on the island state of Tasmania which is a beautiful mountainous state. As I am getting a little bit older I decided to go electrical and just ordered a Bafang BBS01 kit for my Bombtrack adventure+, bike packing bike. Your Professional, trust worthy advice, is worth its weight in gold to me and I want to thank you very much for that. Keep up the good work mate. Greetings from “Down Under”👋🏻🦘

I am about to install a bafang midirve motor on my bike this has been one the best informative videos I have watched on installation advise - Thank you
Hi Brian , I suggest that you measure your existing bike front chainring to the end of the bottom bracket before removing it and installing the motor. With that measurement you'll be able to get a close to perfect chain line by adding different size bottom bracket spacers or a different chainring then the stock one. Chain line is very important to save you on wear and tear on your bike components.
This is an excellent guide with important tips to ensure longevity and reliability of the system. These tips are learned from his extensive experience in installing, using and maintaining these mid motor Bafang systems. He knows what he is talking about. Take advantage of this wisdom.
Hi Fellipe , I'm sure that every time you install a mid drive there will be some type of issue that can be solved with experience like yours has all bikes are so unique. I just want to" Thank you very much " for all your advice and recommendations towards my successful installation it's truly appreciated. I'll send you a picture soon. Kind Regards from Canada !
wow its one of the first video where the common problems are told and shown how to solve.Ive only seen one other video where they talk about chainring spacing,gearing and chain
The speed sensor is one cable, the gear shifter is another cable, they have different connectors. What you have to check with your supplier is if the controller has a shift sensor connector, the speed sensor is by default coming with all motors
@@frcr90 i am confused between 500w and 750w, i live in a mountainy area, you think 500w is enough, i dnt offroad. if 750w, what battery rate do you recommend? thank you
Hi felipe. I noticed you still have the chainring guide on. But you the controls are no longer on the handle. Is it disconnected? If yes where and did you disconnected from thanks for the great videos brother 🙏
Hi Noah, the front derailleur now works as a chain guide, and we want it there to prevent the chain from dropping to the inside the frame when engaging first gear. The gear shifter on the left-hand side was removed to give space to the throttle and LCD remote control. That's a standard here at Cyberbikes and I suggest you follow it too.
So i went to disconnect the cable. The derailleur is under tension. Now its rubbing against the chain really badly. Please advice on how fix this thank you 😊
@@noahpopal9922 hahha so thanks for letting me know, we will have to record a video explaining how to do it because it's quite complex, basically you will have to use the stopping screws to lock the derailleur where best suits your chainline. Does that make sense? I suggest watching a video about tunning front derailleur to understand how they work.
Opa sorry, those tools were bought from our Bafang dealer in China but ebikes.ca are awesome too for hub motors and controllers! Free advertisement for our friends in Canada 🇨🇦
Hey! Does the motor need to touch the bike frame to tighten the bottom bracket? I gave mine a space between the engine and the frame because the format of my frame is pretty strange. Can I leave it that way? Thanks for the video!

I want to install a Bafang motor on my cruiser bike. Do you recommend Bafang? Are there other motors around that's equal or better than Bafang. I'm going to watch your videos when I install this motor. I just want a simple set up with a one speed cruiser bike.
Hi Fellipe , Question on the install , the chainring is it the stock Bafang chainring or one with more offset due to putting space on bottom bracket ? Thank you for taking the time to advise me it' truly appreciated.
Marc, it's not rocket science. If you added spacers on the motor, depending on how many spacers you will need a chainring that's more concave to compensate for spacing the motor away from the bottom bracket. Usually, for up to 2-4mm spacers, you can maintain the original chainring, but everything depends on your installation. Every installation is unique. Please to share our videos with your mates and spread the message. We help each other. Cheers.
@@frcr90 Hi Fellipe , I understand , spacer = more offset. I got the stock chainring and put a 1mm spacer at the bottom bracket chain line looks straight but unfortunately I can't shift it on first gear or my 9th gear. I'm going to need to order more offset. Can you suggest a chainring. I'm thinking the 46 t Lekkie Bling ring could solve it but would like your advice before I spend big bucks. Hoping to hear from you , Thank you Sir.
@@frcr90 Hi Fellipe , Sorry for the late reply. I made a mistake I can shift on 1st gear but when I shift on 9th gear which is my last gear the chain jumps to my 8th gear on my rear cog when I start going really fast. Do you think a different chain ring like Lekkie46 t HD could help ? I followed many of your advice , which really helped a lot.
Hi Fellipe , I started my install yesterday BBSHD , when I start tightening the nut to 60 nm the shoulder of the motor moves against the chain stay. Looks like I might need spacers , I'm I correct ? Can you recommend where to get the spacers that you use. Please advise , Kind Regards !
Hi Marc, we buy spacers from our Bafang dealer in China, however you can get spacers on eBay/AliExpress, or spacers used on cassette gears or you can manufacture your own spacers if you have a metal pipe with the same diameter at the bottom bracket.
@@Cyberbikesau Problem solved Sir , I noticed that the shaft that goes in the bottom bracket was wobbling so I taped the shaft to stop the wobble then I tighten the nut and I also put hose clamp around the motor to my frame. Solid like a Rock Fellipe and there is a very small gap at the shoulder of the motor and chain stay. Thank you Fellipe ! I have one more thing to discuss with you and get advice. Please see my new comment.
@@marccardinal3137 Happy to know that! What other comment? There are too many comments every day. If you can please copy and paste it here. Cheers!! Happy riding!!
Can I suggest sir? Why if we put a METAL BRACKET or it's equivalent on a diagonal frame attach to the motor so it won't fall down in case the support provided by the Bafang kit.
Yes, it is normal, there are many reduction gears inside the motor, bearings, and clutches, and all of them will generate resistance against your pedalling. What motor do you have? What's an issue you're facing? Is your question related to thinking of converting a bike and wanting to know if you could ride it like a normal bike?

Hey Richard thank you (obrigado), where are you from my cousin? hehehe

Thanks Tim, we see you in the next videos!
E very easy to do I did my new 29” but it came with a PF30 which you will need a PF30 to BSA aluminum 73mm adapter pressed into your bottom bracket.
Does the BBSHD motor have separate wires for speed & shift sensors or do you have to buy a splitter to hook both up ???
The speed sensor is one cable, the gear shifter is another cable, they have different connectors. What you have to check with your supplier is if the controller has a shift sensor connector, the speed sensor is by default coming with all motors
