It's a great ride. A quality system that would be a good conversion for any bike. It allowed me to keep the stock setup and 3-speed Sturmey Archer hub. I'll have to get someone to record me riding it but it is definitely powerful and fast. The 3-speed hub and the power settings on the controller allow you to fine-tune the speed, acceleration and hill-climbing capability of the bike.
As was explained to me by a Snap-On tool dealer, the bike design was made for Snap-On in limited quantities. They must have gotten approval from OCC to use their name. The bikes didn't sell well and I was able to purchase one for a very low price.
Looks like a pretty good kit ty I just bought one of these bikes was going to go gas but after trying to peddle it I'm like nope I'll get an electric kit
@@peterschmitt6088 thank you. I just finished my project, it's a red schwinn spider edition. But the magnet cable is too short. Thank you for your help.
I just bought the Bafang 48V 750W BBS02B E-Bike kit for a schwinn stingray but the motor would not fit. It measured 3 inches and I needed 5. Any suggestions on which the correct one to get is?
What puller did you use for the bottom bracket? I took out the trodo elk bottom bracket but I kept a piece with 6 edges, and I can't find any tools to take it out
BAFANG 1000W BBSHD MID DRIVE EBIKE MOTOR KIT & BATTERY 101-120 mm bottom bracket extra fat. You can go to their website directly and include the options you want.
Did you need spacers for bottom bracket? What size chain ring did you install? And what alterations to chain guard bracket did you have to make? I have two of these bikes and want to go electric on one. Thanks for info.
No spacers were required. No modifications to the chain guard but I had to change the way it was attached to the brackets by mounting it on the other side of them to push it further out from the frame. I had to add a few links to the chain to accommodate the 48t chainring.
I wish mine was a factory 3-speed... fortunately I know where to get a conversion kit for a 3-speed or 5-speed hub. Does it make much of a difference changing gears? I'm actually looking toward getting this mid-motor instead of a hub motor
Climbs hilly roads well. I live in a very hilly area with many road grades that are 10-15%. The three-speed hub definitely helps when hill climbing. The motor is 1000 watts so it has tremendous torque.
@@taylorbennett3572 If you order the Bafang kit, make sure you order the extension power cable to the motor as it is required since the frame is so long.
I have a single speed junior occ, Its kinda rusty, and has backpedal brakes, Im thinking I wanna shove a 350w hub motor in the thing and call it a build, Not a chance I can use the pedals, But it could be a fun little toy. Micro Chopper lol.
I agree. There are a lot of wires for this system and no place to hide them. I'm thinking about making a box to contain the wires by the front fork. I've got them routed the best I can along the frame. Any suggestions?
@@peterschmitt6088 no, I was being hard on you only because I’m jealous. I bought a pre-made ebike last year and am very disappointed, I’m going to try the shunt mod but the controller has been dipped in some gray colored wax substance and I can’t get to the part of the ESC that needs soldering. You’re good man. God bless
