Just finished my Trek Verve 2 and the wife's Cannondale Adventure 1 E-bike conversions. Conversion kits were Johnny's 750w BBS02 with 52v 17.5ah batteries https://www.johnnynerdout.com/product-page/complete-kit-package-long-haul-trucker.
Installation went very smoothly for both bikes with help from watching (and re-watching) Johnny's well-made step-by-step video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Embjdj5ezfc. Both bikes have water bottle mounts that easily accepted the battery plates. The motors slid easily through the bottom brackets without need for modification. The Cannondale, however, has a 73mm bottom bracket and we needed the Lekkie Onenut https://www.johnnynerdout.com/product-page/lekkie-onenut as there were not enough threads for the standard nut and locknut (the Bafang tool that Johnny provides with the kit also works to tighten down the Onenut). For excess cable management we grouped and folded the cabling behind the motors with zip ties and wrapped the bundle with strips of inner tubing for a cleaner look.
Due to the bike designs, the motors are closer to the ground than other conversions we've seen such as mountain bikes. As these are comfort/hybrid bikes - and we are seniors - they will be used mostly for cruising on subdivision streets and paved rails-to-trails adventures. No stump-jumpin' or rock-hoppin' - but I imagine we'll need to keep a close eye out for speed bumps... 😉
Johnny's kits were well-thought-out and included everything we needed with the exception of some specialized tools that we picked up locally after reviewing Johnny's tool video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWonAUkXJI8.
All in all this was a great conversion experience and a lot of fun for a couple of first-timers. Thanks Johnny!
I like the white bike the best, my favorite bike to ride are "Beach Cruiser" style. Good job, looks good, where is the innertube that was used to wrap the cables, I can't even see it?
very clean job these look great! i imagine you will get plenty of range with a pack that big. if you feel like taking it a step further maybe get some cable wrap to marry the wires to the brake cables so you can to get rid of the zip ties up by the handlebars, it looks plenty good as is though. how are you finding the bbs02? that's a lot of motor to put on a cruiser bike.
