- What is included in the kit?
- The BBSHD 1000W CAN Bus motor with built-in controller, speed sensor, 46T chainring, crank arms, thumb throttle and all wires and cables. Pedals are not included.
- Does it work with my bike's bottom bracket?
- It is a mid-drive that fits standard threaded bottom brackets in the Bafang BBSHD sizes, but shell width and shape matter. Owners report the motor can shift on some shells, so check your frame before buying.
- Can I use pedal assist and throttle?
- Yes. It offers cadence-based pedal assist and a thumb throttle, and the CAN Bus links motor, display and sensors.
- Is it waterproof?
- The motor carries an IP65 rating, so it handles rain and splashes, though it is not meant for submersion.
- Can I change the chainring?
- The 46T chainring is standard and the motor accepts aftermarket chainrings, so you can adjust gearing for your terrain.
- How does it compare with a hub motor kit?
- It puts torque through the bike's gears for climbing and keeps weight centered, but it is heavier at the cranks and needs a compatible bottom bracket, unlike a rear hub kit.
