I've been dreaming of building a mid drive a decade ago when i bought my first ebike wheel from Currie. When i read about the BBS02 a few months ago, I knew i had to get hold of one, unfortunately i ordered one from another vendor and paid more than 2x the amount that Lunacycle is selling it for and i still haven't received it yet! I couldn't wait so i ordered another BBS02 from Lunacycle and received it a week later and installed it on another bike that I just purchased on Craigslist.
It took a lot of running back and forth to my bike shop to get all the tools and supplies and when i was installing the throttle on the left side of the handlebar, I realized that my brakes were joined with my front shifter so I had to go back and purchase a separate hydraulic brake set. Another problem I had when installing the Raceface chain ring to the adapter was the bolts that held them together seemed too long. I eventually fixed that problem by flipping the Raceface chain ring around. Later on i realized that I placed the chain ring on the wrong side of the adapter, forcing the chain even further away from the middle of the rear clusters.
I decided to mount my battery pack (EZEE battery pack) in a high quality back pack, an Evoc backpack designed for winter sports. I built a 4.5 ft battery cable using 12 AWG silicone wires from Luna Cycle with Anderson connectors on one end and XT90 on the other end to connect to the motor. I used 1/2 " Flexo Pet sleeving to cover the wires for a professional look and heat shrunk the loose ends. I run this cable through the drinking tube hole in my backpack which pops out of a zipper on my shoulder strap. When riding, it is hard to tell that I am riding an electric bike.
