"Proprietary screw" is a Torx security head. You can get bits to fit them or use a small straight screwdriver that fits between the center post and two of the lobes. Or grind a slot into it.
There were some people online saying 52v batteries could prematurely wear out a 48v controller and make sure your computer / head unit is rated for 52v. If you read battery level in percentage then the 52v battery with a 48v computer may seem more full than it really is.
You're right. It comes with a battery cover. I think it might be highly recommended to use it with any chance of water (before, during or after a rain).
You can order either. I went with sensors so I could keep my existing brake levers. If you want new brake levers then you can order the brake levers to replace yours. I made an install video so please check that out to see how the brake sensors work so you could see if you like them.
The best battery for you is the one that fits your bike. I was going to buy the Luna Cycles battery but the kit and battery were out of stock so I went with the 20Ah Amazon battery. It's too early for me to recommend it yet since it's so new but it is affordable and I haven't had any problems with it so far.
For the bafang 1000 watt mid drive I would go with the 52v but it can also do the 42v too. You can switch between the two setting on your display along with size of tires also The high the AH the long the rang you get out of your battery
Great question! I chose this one as it fits on more bikes. If you switch to a boost frame or thru axle, you can take the motor with you. With a hub motor you can't easily switch. What are you leaning towards?
Hello Michael, the BBS01b 250W stickers are put in the box so you can stick them on the bike or motor and convince the police or whoever that it is a legal 250W motor which is the limit in many countries across Europe. Actually even on a 48v battery fully charged to 54.6v run at 25 amps gives a peak power of 1365W. It can be changed with the programming cable to run at 30 amps maximum which gives (30x54.6) 1638 watts. It is certainly a powerful motor. A 48v battery fully charged is 54.6 in case you wondered where that figure came from.
I'm new to ebikes and have been doing a lot of shopping. I have a nice bicycle so I am considering a conversion kit. Your video was informative in adding to my research and considerations. Value wise, I'm leaning towards a whole ebike. Ariel Kepler perhaps or foldable Lectric. I'm just under 250 pounds so torque is needed. Many roads are hilly around me.
Thanks for the kind comment. The bbshd has 160nm of torque so it's great for larger riders. It's recommended against installation on a carbon frame. I've installed it on an aluminum recumbent trike. Stay tuned for a video of the build. Cheers!

That's the way, install 1000w motor and put 250w sticker to make it "legal". 🤣
🤫
Thanks for the video, wait to see u put it on😁 cheers
Thanks Vincent! I'm waiting for more extension cables from China so it'll be awhile.
Amazing content, thank you very much.

According to the battery guru here on youtube u can use a 52v on a 48v motor

That battery design with connector inside mounting plate looks sketchy for water ingress...
You're right. It comes with a battery cover. I think it might be highly recommended to use it with any chance of water (before, during or after a rain).
Id apply a good blob of goop in and around battery/plate/connector...
brake lever or brake sensor? what to order?? I have mechanical brake sistem on my bike. PLZ HELP

Sir what is the recommended battery for that 1000w bafang mid drive motor?

@@pedalpowercycling thanks sir, have a good day.

The high the AH the long the rang you get out of your battery
@@ferguson8143 thanks bro.
@@rodolfobaliga7577 no problem
REALLY You never ever gave not any press everybody wants to know a press
How muchu
Prices vary depending on options such as computer, battery size, chainring size, etc. This set was around $1300 USD.
"The O and the I" Do you mean the zero and the one?
What part of the video are you referring to?
This or hub drive ?

@@pedalpowercycling hub
Well done very good job reviewing this motor.
For Mexico it is not available with battery
Sorry to hear, hopefully there are other battery options. Are you in Mexico City? I hope everything is going well for you.
WILSON LOL.
description says BBSHD 1000W, sticker from box says BBS01B 250W...?????
Yes the wrong sticker must have been put in the box. It is a 1000w motor. I've been using it for months and it's powerful, definitely 1000w.
