I'd be interested in learning a little more about your hub motor or others when I convert a second bike. I went with the mid drive mainly because I intend to haul groceries, camping gear, etc. Here's...

It was actually 24 miles and yes lots of pedaling. I took it again today and quite impressed. I'm usually pulling 250-500 watts at the most. I don't intend to deplete the battery each time and will...

I think I've read that it can discharge at 60 amp because it has 3 sets of 14s cells with a 20 amp max mischarge. I don't plan to use this real hard either. I will probably get a second pack down...

I'm probably not going to end up messing with using the DeWalt batteries but from what I've read they are good for 30 amp discharge. Their pretty tough little batteries.

Well I bit the bullet and ordered the bbshd and wrench. I got the 42t sprocket. I'll update once I get it. I will probably go with a ego 56v 7.5ah battery when I can afford it. Not sure what kind of...

Bafang Conversion

I've been researching bafang for awhile and read as much as I can. It seems the bbs01b and bbs02b information I am finding is older and mostly about the bbshd now. I keep racking my brain trying to...

I have the Domane AL2 and I believe its rated for 275 pounds as well. I think you'd be fine on it, although I can't comment specifically on the isospeed decoupler.
