5 steps seems to be common for Bafang controllers. Most of them you can change it to 9 through the display itself. I thought going to 9 really helped...

Does the display stay on and just says 0%? If the display goes off I would say its a connection issue. If the display stays on then it may be something...

I would still be focused on the battery. It sounds like you have had a cell or group of cells that drained much faster than the rest over the winter...

Dunno but its pretty rare for any sort of a tax to ever get reduced. Its not only the tariff, that is likely only half the increase which is for sure...

Keep checking your walmart, maybe they will get one in. It would be nice if you could at least stand over one to see how it felt. The long top tubes...

I don't have any specific links to provide but I'm fairly certain you can go to places like ali express and buy unbranded hub motor bikes direct from...

Very strange story. The videos I have seen of the Tannus inserts don't make it look difficult but I also have no idea what sort of rims the X1 has so...

[73Eldo]

Around the neighborhood you should not have to worry too much about battery capacity. Presumably this is a smaller frame size so many packs won't fit...

[73Eldo]

Only thing I could think of is if there was a relay on the controller for some reason and then it would have to be a fairly strong magnet in just the...

I don't remember having anything left over but maybe some washers so I don't think I got more than 2 either.

Its the BBSHD. You can do 48 or 52v. Since this isn't an ultimate performance application I would be more focused on what will fit the bike the best...

Which gold matches those gold jockey wheels the best?

All I remember about the original chain was that I could not get the quick link...

For 1500w a good ballpark number to use is 2 miles per amp hour. That should be reasonable for some pedaling and maybe a little higher than normal...

[73Eldo]

Typical voltage range for a 36v system is 30 to 42. A 48v system is 39 to 54.6. If the new controller is not programmable you will will only have...

The brown thing could be a fuse or some other sort of current limiting device but with this type of electronics they don't blow unless there is some sort...

[73Eldo]

Note in my case its the magnets inside the bag so most of the work is done by the magnets, bag is mostly to make it look less like a battery and a backup...

[73Eldo]

Disc brakes are really nice but depending on the type of riding you plan to do are not 100% required. If you don't really plan on going much faster...

[73Eldo]

I forgot to talk about battery size since its one of the major costs and getting an idea how big a battery you will need can help you get an idea how...

Ya be sure to get us some pictures of at least the bike when its done. If he and or his parents are willing a shot of him on the bike with I'm sure...

I have Luna Wolves with both the V1 round magnets and the V2 rectangle plate. I have moderately abused them on my Surly fully rigid bike on the trails...
