Life is like a wheel… and it will run your ass right over if you don't pay attention
Do It Yourself (smart, not sloppy)
This site is dedicated to electric bike build techniques, ideas and experiences. The content here is presented with an eye towards building bikes made with attention to detail, smart choices, quality cycling components and how you can do it yourself. The core message here is simple:
DIY does not have to mean half-assed
So check the Table of Contents. But first maybe get yourself a sandwich and something to drink. You might be here awhile.
After a few years of incremental refinements, lets re-visit BBSHD programming for pedal assist settings that give you a workout, and are also gentle to the drivetrain.
In this installment we’ll spend all of our time looking at the battery box and the separate controller/charger box that are both hiding under the cargo floor.
This continues the walk-through of my hill-climber Bullitt, starting with the mid drive motor installation and taking a close look at its BBSHD configuration.
A Bullitt has been my daily driver in all-flat terrain for more than two years. Now I need another for steep hills. Rather than just copy the original I will re-think my choices and make some cool upgrades.
