I think I have 11-32 rear sprockets, paired with the 42 teeth Lekkie Bling Ring. The BBSHD, even with 20A programming limit as it came to me, is powerful enough to climb steep streets and to reach 30 mph on flats without pedaling. I needed an extension cable for the gear sensor, but the rest of the kit was a perfect fit.

The ride is good, very smooth with the decent quality full suspension. Emailed Matt and a few minutes later got a phone call that resolved the issue (turned out the connectors were very easy to position properly, no tools needed).

One of the plastic connectors joining the battery to the motor came reversed and I could not figure out how to use it. But the fan is quite noisy and works all the time. The charger barely gets warm in use if positioned sideways. The battery came from Matt with a nice 4A charger that charges it to exactly 58.8V. So, still easy to disconnect if needed, but out of the way and not visible. I cut off the extra length and positioned the connectors inside the mounting bracket, inside the metal lower part of it and under the plastic cover. The kit comes with nice connectors for the battery to motor, but there was about 20" extra wire and the connectors were exposed. I installed two extra M5 RivNuts on the frame to have 4 bolts holding it down. The Hailong 3 case is slightly bigger and the battery heavier than the similar looking Hailong 1 shark cases. These are 14s5p packs, with plenty of current capability to handle the BBSHD - the pack does not even get warm in use with my 20A programming limit. I went with a kit from EMPoweredcycles with the 52V 17.5Ah battery in Hailong 3 case with Panasonic/Sanyo GA cells. If you go with 73mm size motor, you will have pedals centered, but you won't be able to use it in the future on another bike with a 68mm BB. If you go with the 68mm BBSHD as I did (instead of 73mm), you will get about 8mm offset in the pedals towards the chain side. Filing off just a smidgen from that area on the chainstay takes care of that, as would alternatively installing a 1mm or 2mm spacer. The swing arm of the rear suspension does protrude about 1mm too far to the side and makes contact with the gear side of the motor. The front has 160mm mechanical disk brake, which is nice and easy to modulate, but does not offer enough stopping power IMO, so I am going to move it to the rear and will equip the front with the 203mm ebike brake from Matt at EMPoweredCycles: The pedals are $28 Tera Hiker platform mtb pedals from Amazon, which I think are very good and relatively lightweight, especially for the price.įront wheel is a 559x27 sized rim (27mm internal width, 34mm external width), which I think works much better with 2" or wider tires than my stock narrower rims. The riser bars are mounted on an uncut length Rock Shox Recon Silver TK Air fork with 100mm travel, which gives me a comfortable and efficient riding position for my 6'4" height. But lighter and much sturdier than low-end bikes. I think the frame is a bit on the heavy side for a high-end bike. The frame was an eBay find for $150 delivered with a Fox Vanilla rear shock with independent preload, compression, and rebound adjustments, which works quite well, IMO, especially for a medium-sized or large rider (I think the spring may be a bit on the stiff side for a small rider, but with 20lb + of ebike stuff, it should be good for most). I think the bike is a 2002or thereabouts Turner XCE as seen here:
I just finished (mostly) my first ebike build on a Turner full suspension mountain bike.
