Is this a complete kit?

No. It is the motor only. You need mounting hardware, a display, a throttle, a speed sensor, cabling and a battery separately.

Should I pick UART or CANBUS?

Pick UART if you want to use common aftermarket displays and programming tools. Pick CANBUS if your battery and display use the newer Bafang protocol; its battery lead is a yellow XT-60.

What battery does it need?

A 52V pack sized for at least 28A continuous output. The UART version ends in 45A Anderson connectors; the CANBUS version ends in XT-60.

Only if your frame has a 100mm bottom bracket shell. Standard 68–73mm frames need a different BBSHD variant.

Our take on the Bafang BBSHD Mid-Drive Motor Kit

The BBSHD is Bafang's top mid-drive conversion motor, a 1,000W-class unit that bolts into a 100mm bottom bracket and drives the bike through the chain. This listing is the bare motor only, with no mounting hardware, display, throttle or cabling, so it suits someone replacing a failed BBSHD rather than a first-time builder. The 52V UART version runs a 28A controller rated at over 1,500W peak. At $609.89 at Amazon as of November 7, 2026, it is the only new price given, so there is no recent range to compare it against.
