You are so right. I bought a gearless hub motor. A 1000 watt 48 volt. came with controller, brake levers. About 400 bucks Canadian! I pulled apart the controller, had 60 volt capacitors, so I upvolted the battery to 52 Volts for extra power and range. It goes about 50 MPH. The only problem is it weighs about 20 LBs Is A 20 Ah 52 volt, at max charge is just under 60 volts. Just about 600 dollars Canadian. I mounted it on the rear rack that throws of the centre of gravity. I need to come up with a way to mount it as a down tube so I dont keep dumping the thing on me when mounting it.
The prices have to seriously come down. I can buy a motorcycle for less then all this ( and don't forget the kits listed do not include the battery $$$$ )
I cannot trust a channel that reviews stuff they don't understand. Saying the Bafang has no battery and is only powered by pedaling, makes ZERO sense. It may not come with one, but it sure as heck needs one. Please do your research before putting out a review that someone else might want to count on.
In the United States, in motorsports, the terms are used interchangeably. Which is why engines are mounted in cars with motor mounts, why people say what kind of engine or motor or mill or a variety of other terms. Its not a big issue. If it is, well I feel bad for u.

the Bafang does require a battery. Their promotional video doesn't show the installation of a battery because one isn't included in the kit, but it IS required.
I can vouch for the voilamart - got 1000 watt , and a Yose power battery , the only thing I regret is my 1995 old mountain bike was too heavy for that wheel and couldn't replace the brakes, didn't match the gears. Bright side you can completely not pedal up hills on throttle mode. never used pedal assist but so good up hills.
@@megapet777 it's best to take it to bike shop that does ebikes . To install the electronics for you . Depends which bike you have for the wheels. If you have a Vbrake type I'd say go to the shop.

Oh, I don't know, I think it was worth it. Met up with an old buddy last year in Central park who also had a custom build that was based on a BBS02. He had told me how fast he had gotten it up to. So we put it to the test. BBSHD vs BBS02. Lets just say the results were rather astounding, in my favor. Especially on the hills. He had heard of the BBSHD but did not think it was much different in power than the 02. And he had never seen one run before in person. He has since reassessed what he knows about it.
I've got a BBSHD 100mm version on my 2015 Specialized Fatboy! Running a 52V battery, and it hauls!. Getting around 60-65km/h up here in Ontario! Amazing motor!
@@TheCompjunkie my fav motor by far.. once ya have it dialled in, programmed and unplug the PAS it's basically bullet proof..the stock programming is garbage and will have ya snapping rotors ect.
For roads and general forest trails yes the rear or front hub is good enough, but for anyone wanting to take Thier bike off-road the bafang wins hands down. And it will require a battery, no torque sensor just pedal assist and or throttle assist. These are for old bikes anyone with money can just purchase a new ebike if they have a spare 4k to 12k sitting doing nothing 😂
So I have bought an e-bike cargo bike from Rad Power Bikes. What I like is that I can get off the road faster, therefore there is less likelihood that I will get run over by a car. Where normally I might have to ride my bicycle at ten or 15 mph uphill, I can maintain 20 mph, meaning less time on the road with cars. This bicycle also has a crumple zone in the rear. If i can find other people who want to ride, I can offer motor pacing as I have the Conestoga wagon setup. I do have a 29er steel frame that I am thinking about a bunch of things with, thank you for your video!!!
What I don't like of some of the Wheel Hub motors are the ones fitted for 700cc or less than 2 inches wide no matter wheel size. It is the extreme speed of pressure which puts a lot of stress on skinny tires when riding over 24mph and up. The Standard width is 3 to 4 inches wide fat tires as the 2 inches to 2.25 is minimal width. Anything less is too be narrow of handling and facing high pressure from speed to terrain.
I ride with 2.1 to 2.25 wide 26inch tires of speeds at 40mph tops. What I notice of my tires of front are always getting deflated to a point they do lose contain after a while. I've learned of e bikes over 500 watts all need a standard of the heavy duty tube tires besides a tougher tire. Even a tire Guard strap should be included on f a standard. Those Euro , Sur Ron,vtypes of e bikes are the standard but expensive. For US low budget riders of lower end e bikes, we must add or change out certain parts and the tires is s always the start due to getting deflated tires at a constant.
@@Nosuchthingasnormalhere Yeah. Stats says those riders get hit by cars the most of any types and see it on news of these riders weekly. They also the biggest jerks of attitude. . Jus ride safe and aware but I've been knowing road bikes. Great bikes to sell for I sold many.
I have a 2 stroke motorized bike with 1.95 tires and have had no issue and it can go faster then alot of these ebikes so I think you would be OK as long as your a good and smart rider
The Bafang BBS02 does need a battery. Powered trough pedaling? What a joke. Obviously you don't know what you are talking about. Every bike is powered by pedaling. OMG. Hahahaha....
You can fit a shifting device that senses shifting and cuts the motor. Had one and binned it. I have hydraulic brakes you can plug in magura e bike hydraulic brakes or nothing at all. You just need to learn to use the system
all motors over 500w are illegal in almost all North America (few exceptions areas accept 750w, no more).. if used only for off-road in the field, most areas have no rules there (except national parcs).. but who's never use the ebike on the streets?? ..be aware of the regulation in your area before to spend in it!!
I unfortunatly have a nearly 9000 dollar, 24 pound, carbon fiber suspension bike. And none of these are a good fit for me. It would be better to start from scratch. And iwouldn't get any of these.
If you can afford a 9000$ carbon bike you will be better off with an e-bike that is a match for it. It will cost you. These kits are good for their price but not exactly spectacular. Happy Cycling ;-)
Any gearless hub motor that makes a lot of noise has major problems. about the only thing you should hear is the tires on the road. Especially if you have knobby tires. That is my 2 cents worth. That info is not accurate.
With this in the power kit you're not going no faster then possibly 40 the misinformation is actually bad Jesus I have two of them 52 volt 5000 w and it does not like going up hills unless I put a sabotone controller it's a larger battery on it thank you
Should stay away from front hub motor kits, it's really sketchy to pull the entire weight of the bike plus the rider from the dropouts of the front fork. Could even destroy the head tub. If something fails it could be catastrophic.
Hmmm The mid frame motor has not so good reputation. quickly broken within less than 3000 km. I like the motor in the wheels, easy to maintain and replace.
I don't think everyone shares that opinion with you. Now I don't know which brand and model and year of construction you mean my experience is very bad.
Befang does not require a batteri... I know 6th graders that does better research for their presentations at school. He literally just looked at the image, jikes.
Wye some kits bikes all together are jokes at prices 🤣 when no way made for that price it's all cheap can get 1000w at £150 like some kid was asking to sell surron at 10 thousand pound no one knows the real price all random to profit

Funny I caught that as well. Bafang is my choice out of all of them.
Bafang is actually good, if not the best of them all, mid drive ebikes are more preferred to hub motor ebikes

that's great ideas instead of buying new e-bike just upgrade old ones!🚲

Mid drives are louder than hub motor to me. And hub motors are the choice for top speed as mid drives is for climbing hills
The bafang mid drive is quiet and if u grease the motor it will remain so for 2 years or 20,Thousand miles
Then needs re greasing
