@julescelt01 I installed a #Bafang #BBS02 mid-drive kit from #LunaCycle a couple years ago on a beach cruiser, and I've been very happy with it. It was super easy, and the 52v battery makes tons of power. I recommend getting the shift sensor which cuts the power when you shift gears.

#EBike/electronics Q: I got a light control module (LCM) for a #bafang #bbs02 that ties into the main harness and provides 2 wires for a rear light (which works with a wide variety of light voltages, but I'm using it at 6V), and a single wire for a brake light trigger. The voltage on the LCM brake trigger wire sits at 1.56V, & jumps to 3.3V when you depress a brake lever.
My rear light has 2 wires (+/-) for the brake light trigger. I connect positive to LCMโs brake trigger wire, & get nothing..

Today another โค๏ธ for DIY Bafang mid-drive e-bike conversions.
For fun I bought the cheapest foldable bike from Amazon (*many* flaws but โฌ190) and put a 750W #Bafang motor in it. It was, indeed, fun, but also downright dangerous (poor brakes, etc.).
I just reprogrammed the motor with a special USB cable and my laptop to halve the power. The bike will do *many* trips to the shops on that battery now!
Next: a last-year's model Decathlon bike for touring.

I do have a gear shift sensor for the motor that briefly turns off motor power when I shift. I've heard mixed reviews about the #Alfine 8 - people saying they've ridden it thousands of km with #bafang mid-drive motors, others saying they killed it. But one of the cargo bikes I bought has a bafang mid-drive (#BBSHD, so more power/torque than the #BBS02) and a dead #Enviolo hub (N330, so not the burlier Enviolo Heavy Duty hub that I'd likely get).
Curious to hear from anyone who uses both hubs.

I don't think I've posted a full pic yet of my #Yuba #Kombi with #Bafang #BBS02 750W mid-drive motor installed. It's got a 48V 12Ah battery from #UnitPowerPack installed (form factor: #Hailong G56). So far I've ridden 45mi and the battery is at roughly 50%, so I'm expecting a comfortable range of 65-70mi per charge. #BikeTooter #ebike

I ordered a #TSDZ2 programming cable (https://cycles.eco/products/tsdz2-motor-firmware-programming-cable-with-6ft-usb-extension). I really don't like the default settings and motor is noisy. After getting the #BBSHD (which either Luna or the prior owners had programmed with fantastic settings) and the #BBS02 (which came with stock settings that were pretty bad, but I reprogrammed with the #bafang programming cable and now it's almost as good as the BBSHD), I've realized that replacing the TSDZ2 firmware is probably going to be a huge difference.
