Pros & Cons

Pros

Took about four hours for a first timer to install. Great videos on the tube for installing. Good youtube vids on that.

After i replace the rear wheel with regular 26 in mtb wheel with 7-speed freewheel and the chain, the bike is just like a regular mtb. It is fast, agile, reliable and most of all and absolute joy to ride. I've ridden it in some pretty bad conditions a...  Read More

Motor has a lot of torque and crushes hills. Pedal assist 1 offers some help while you are pedaling, level 2 a little more, and 3 is like turbo. I still have my road bike for 'flatter' terrain but this kit allows me to do some serious climbing.

The levels equate to speed. Of course, that commits you to the mid-drive. Either way, still a good setup.

I hope it lasts. And bafang is the leader for the diy.

    We both agreed after putting in the drive and then realizing the brakes wouldnt work that buying is better than building an ebike for the average biker who isnt also a bike tech


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If you do buy a retrofit kit for safety reasons make sure your bike has great brakes my coaster backwards pedal brake is incompatible with the bafang due to my fork and frame i cannot add caliper brakes so i returned the unit


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    For returnsthe battery is heavy and lithium expensive to return


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    All in all im out about 250 for this failed experiment but that is cheaper than a visit to the emergency room because i couldnt stop my bike


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Our kit had two faulty parts actually only one but we tried the easiest and least expensive fix first to no avail and it took a couple weeks to get that sorted


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But the support people were great and they shipped us replacement parts for the defective parts


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Probably mostly due to the weight difference of the standard converted bike and my mine plus my wife is 130 pounds lighter than i as well
