Turn your bike into an e-bike - with Bafang motors
In addition to the normal commercial e-bikes, there are lots of conversion systems available. "Bafang" is one of the leading manufacturers in this area - both for e-components and complete systems.
What means mid-drive-motor?
There are 3 different ways to mount the motor when converting your bike into an E-Bike:
- Front-wheel (hub motor)
- Rear-wheel (hub motor)
- Bottom bracket - in the "middle" (mid-motor, mid-drive motor)
Compared to the hub motor, the mid-drive motor doesn´t transmit the power directly to the wheel, but to the bicycle chain. This means, your rear bicycle gears can also be used with a motor assist, which is not only an advantage when riding uphill. Further advantages are ideal weight distribution, low center of gravity, and a very natural riding experience. Furthermore, the front and rear wheels can still be changed without any problems.
Bafang BBS motor function is very simple: The electric motor powers the front chainring with an internal gear ratio of 22:1. An integrated clutch makes it possible, that the crank arms won´t be moved while the chainring rotates forward.
