I converted my mountain bike to an electric bike in the spring. It wasn't hard work. The bike is great to ride. I used a Bafang 750w mid-motor kit and the battery is 48V 19.2Ah with LG cells. Fun bike.
I have converted two fatbikes about to convert my third a Rocky Mountain Blizzard A10 2023 with a Bafang BBSHD and 52V 20Amph battery . The first one was a Louis Garneau Fat bike with a Cyclone Motor. the second was an RSD Mayor Fatbike with the BBSHD . I love the Fatbikes with the BBSHD. They are four season fun Machines .
Thanks for this guide, hopefully it will help some folks. For people really new to this, a note about selecting the correct bottom bracket size might be helpful. Also a note about adding the optional bafang shift sensor to cut the power during shifts to minimize chain damage (although it can be a hassle).
I bought a used specialized rockhopper expert 29 2021 and put a bafang HD 52-17 and the only problem is finding time to rip around. Thanks to Abas and golden motors!
Does this setup have real pedal assist? I mean, does it sense when you are turning the pedals and give you power automatically , or you have to adjust how much power you get with the throttle? I hope you understand my question 🙂
Great Tutorial buddy I love how you say its not a big deal at the end of something that could be a problem, I bet about 70% of people who attempt building this will be OCD so you it helps. Thanks from London
I really enjoyed watching your conversion video! I think you did an excellent job. You seem like a very mature young man. I was wondering if I could get your opinion on something. Where I live, things are sort of in an uproar right now over the increase of the electric motorized bicycles and so forth. There is an obvious niche of folks who can really utilize them to help them through injuries, old age and so forth. However, there seem to be many abuses by the younger group of people riding them. Recently, statistics came out about how many injuries and deaths are occurring in our community involving these machines. It was not a very good report, to say the least. So, here's my question to you. Where do you see things going with the advent of these motorized vehicles? Of course one camp says we need more regulations and education while the other camp says things are just fine the way they are. I'm interested in getting your take. Thanks.
Where do I get all the upgraded parts you used?. If I buy this motor I want the same upgraded parts your using opposed to what comes with the motor stock.
That frame is nice in that the brake and shifter cables route near the cross frame tube and not close to the bottom bracket. If cables run under the BB then it is much harder to install a mid drive motor. Anyone know of some tips to install motor in BB when cables are routed externally and run underneath the bottom bracket? Thanks for the updated video bruh!
I'm confused how can you tell which Bafang motor you got? I thought I purchased the 750w motor but the sticker states 250w BBSO1? Does bafang have a website to check S/N for model?

Very cool!
I converted both of my Trek bikes with the Bafang 750w motor a few years ago and with no issues... so much fun flying at 35mph

I did the same thing to my north rock fat bike but with a 1500w rear hub motor. super fun on trails and parks.

Thank you for zooming in. I was squinting trying to watch the install.
Damn this seems so easy. Let me go ahead and fully commit to building one.
Great video, short, no BS, great cuts. Really enjoyed it :)

I have a Schwinn Biggity fat bike and i am interested on what parts do you recommend me on converting my bike?
Has anyone converted a beach cruiser before?
A question, want to convert my Salsa fatbike, do I need to change the change ring for a specific reason? Or can I run the stock ring.
Where do I get all the upgraded parts you used?. If I buy this motor I want the same upgraded parts your using opposed to what comes with the motor stock.
I live in a place with several steep slopes, my concern is the torque and speed climbing these hills.
hello, i have a fat bike like yours but i also am fat lol i weight around 350 pounds, would this work for me too, or will i need something stronger?

What if i want to use my hydraulic brake levers instead of the break levers that came with it?
Why did you change the chain ring? Higher top speed?
Are you in the Detroit area by chance? This area looks like a place I lived around Detroit MI for 6 years.
I immediately recognized it as Detroit. The mix of brick and sided houses with that particular architecture. Hard to miss if you're from here!
I'm confused how can you tell which Bafang motor you got? I thought I purchased the 750w motor but the sticker states 250w BBSO1? Does bafang have a website to check S/N for model?
did the sticker come in the box? the s/n is different on them. prolly a bbs02 and a dummy sticker to keep u legal 😉
what bike are you using ?thanks.
awsome job
Thanks
Can this be done if the bike has front derailer?
Could i see how you set up ur sensor in your hydraulic brake
how fast does a 350 watt and 500w go?
Can i get a full cost estimate including tax for this exact build (bike, mid drive, battery, etc?)
Will it fit the Schwinn taff or Schwinn dp
you didnt show what to order, measure crankshaft size hmm
will this kit fit a regular BMX bike?
Kinda want to know what happens if you put a tesla battery and motor in it...
Whats the name of bike
yo loved the video but next time make the audio a bit better. even if u have to voice over. you kept getting quite and loud randomly :P
nevermind ignor my comment. just realized you were miced up while riding. not bad with the wind. did u install the hd or 02?
this is better than tesla. : )
Ghost town
What kind of fat bike is that
This look incredibly complicated 😅

If your chain isn't straight, then it's gay.
Too expensive MF!!
