Finally bit the bullet and bought a BBSHD motor and 48V 20AH battery to go with it. It's probably common knowledge that it's an easy fit to most bikes and it was 3 hours later and it's on the road. Details: Most if not all new stock sold is "52 Volts" Programming the operating parameters is easy with a special cable or make your own The 52V unit shows incorrect battery capacity when using a 48V battery - and there is no simple way to tell it to think it's a 48V battery via the display unit. Fixes: Downgrading firmware to something a bit older fixes the wrong battery capacity issue. Also, this previous f/w fixes a very annoying thing which is the reduction to 1/2 power when the battery capacity drops below something or other. In my case it was when it went below 50V. This is not good at all with the 48V pack. I was looking at 1/2 power for about 1/2 of the 20 Ah battery's capacity. Boring. The old f/w lets you use full power all the way down to about 41V LV cut-off or whatever you choose it to be. This is much better. Summary: very good motor, strong, quiet, clean, well suited for the nominal 1000W output. Easy to fit to a bike. A lot of fun. It gets me and my fat arse up any hill and I live in the Dandenongs which has many hills 10 or 20% gradients. No overheating problems A robust motor for the hills. Programming new firmware is easy to do. Firmware Update Controller 1-5.zip has all you need. It worked fine with my Win10 laptop but I needed to program it at 19,200 baud. Anyone here also got a Bafang motor on their bike? wronger than a phone book full of wrong phone numbers |
