1000w Bafang Mid-Drive BBSHD (UART) Kit, with 'OUTRAGEOUS' Torque & Speed

Our Bafang motor kits include sysyems that use the UART communications protocol; they are programmable - and custom programed by us with REV's special settings. Guaranteed to thrill! 

48v, not compatible with 52v batteries (48v is FAR MORE RELIABLE in these motors!).

Bafang motors have set the standard as the best after-market mid-drive motors in the industry for over 15 years. There is a reason they have such a good reputation.. we have seen for ourselves the quality control systems in place at the factory outside Shanghai, and we are definitely impressed with the performance of their mid-mount systems.

The motor mounts through any standard BSA bottom bracket from 68mm - 73mm wide (press-fit 30 bottom brackets can be used but require an adapter, and we can get wider BB compatible motors for fat bikes etc). The entire bottom bracket and crankset assembly is removed, and replaced by the motor and single chainring, with the option of having a Lekkie Bling Ring chainring. Cranks are also included, and you can reuse your existing pedals (9/16"). Your rear gears will remain untouched.

The controller & pedelec are both internal within the mid-drive motor, which simplifies the fitting. The cadence sensing pedelec is very responsive, especially when appropriately choosing low gears to take off in. This is important on a mid-drive e-bike, like when driving a manual car, to get the most torque during take-off and hill climbing.

The handlebar controls include the optional-to-install throttle (thumb style). Throttles are not strictly road-legal on a 250w kit, but they are popular for people who really need assistance setting-off, before they have rotated their pedals enough for the pedelec to kick in. The left hand side of your handlebars will be available for fitting a thumb throttle, without clashing with any gear shifters (because the front gears are removed).

Optional on our kits are electronic cut-out brake levers, or magnetic cutout sensors which can be fitted to existing levers, to provide a safety cutout feature when braking. We include a Gear Sensor, which cuts power temporarily while you change gears, to reduce stress and wear on your drivetrain. The existing gear cable is threaded through this sensor.

The 600c compact display shows all the functions and stats you could possibly want, on an attractive visual interface, with integrated buttons and simple install in place of your LHS shifters. You can choose to set it up with 3, 5 or 9 available pedelec levels. These levels are easily adjustable from the LCD screen on the handlebars. There are several options for display screens, depending on which style you prefer. The larger 850c large colour LCD Display Screen mounts over the headstem in the centre of the handlebars, with a loom out to the buttons, for them to be within easy reach.

The kit comes with a speed sensor. The pick-up speed sensor is normally mounted to the chain stay beside the rear wheel, on the non-chain side, with a magnet fitted to one of the spokes.

NOTE: This motor is extremely powerful, and is not recommended for low-quality bikes or inexperienced riders.  It WILL cause excess wear of chains and cassettes. Proceed with this system only if you really want to be blown back in your seat! 

We offer an Extended Warranty when we install the system, then giving 2 year warranty on products, and lifetime on the installation (providing we undertake the free annual safety checks).

We are so sure you won't be disappointed, we are happy to offer you a 7 day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee on this kit.. Love it, or you'll get your money back!
