Converting Hub Drive to Mid Drive

Posted by DontCareBearss@reddit | ebikes | View on Reddit | 2 comments

Hey there! Does anyone know if its possible to mount a BBS02 Motor to a Jansno X50 ebike? The original hub motor is also 750W. Id like to be able to use my old batteries as i have 3 of them. I'm most curies about if it can be physically mounted with enough space for clearance. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

If your ebike uses a 68/73mm BSA threaded bottom bracket you can. Measure it. Why not go with the BBSHD? You'll get more power and torque.

There are printed templates available for mid-drive motors that will give you a pretty good idea of whether it will fit. The area around the BB looks pretty clear. Likely it will work. Get the right BB width. You can use your old batteries, just get a motor that is the same voltage.

I converted a hub drive to a torque sensor mid-drive, worked out pretty well.
