Bafang BBS01/02 + Shimano Nexus 5 ?
Hello,
Unlike the older models, the Shimano Nexus 5 was built for e-bikes.
Out of curiosity, can it be used…
Thank you.

Out of curiosity, can it be used…
- Without hooking it up to a Shimano Steps mid-drive, just like a regular Shimano gear hub
- Manually (ie. with a classic, cable-actuated shifter instead of a Di2 shifter)
- With a Bafang BBS01/BBS02 mid drive engine, or will it only connect to a Shimano Steps motor
Thank you.

I guess it depends on how the motor talks to the controller. If the Nexus 5 only works through Di2 and will only talk to a Shimano Steps motor, it might be difficult.

If you go cable then just put a shift sensor on the cable.
Lots of people ride with no shift sensor so that is an option as well.
