2. Setup and Installation
The BAFANG BBS02B mid-drive motor is designed for installation to convert your pedal bike into an electric bike. This kit is compatible with bicycles featuring a standard 68-73mm bottom bracket. If a 100mm bottom bracket is required, a different kit (ASIN: B08XQ1L4JK) should be used.
The kit includes brake levers that cut power to the motor. If your bicycle has hydraulic brakes and you wish to retain them, please contact customer support to request a brake sensor instead of the standard brake levers.

4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your BAFANG BBS02B kit and ebike. Key maintenance practices include:
- Cleaning: Keep the motor, battery, and electrical connections clean and free from dirt and debris. Use a damp cloth; avoid high-pressure washing directly on electrical components.
- Lubrication: Regularly lubricate the chain and other moving parts of your bicycle.
- Battery Care: Store the battery in a cool, dry place and charge it regularly, even when not in use, to maintain its health. Avoid fully discharging the battery.
- Inspections: Periodically check all bolts and connections for tightness. Inspect cables for any signs of wear or damage.
- Professional Service: For complex issues or annual checks, consider professional ebike service.
5. Troubleshooting
This section provides solutions to common issues you might encounter with your BAFANG BBS02B ebike kit.
- Motor Not Engaging: Check all electrical connections, especially the battery connection and motor cables. Ensure the display is powered on and showing no error codes. Verify the brake levers are not engaged, as they cut motor power.
- No Power on Display: Ensure the battery is charged and properly seated. Check the main power cable connection from the battery to the motor/controller.
- Inconsistent Pedal Assist: Check the speed sensor and magnet for proper alignment and ensure they are clean.
- Error Codes on Display: Refer to the P860ML display manual for specific error code meanings and troubleshooting steps. Common issues often relate to sensor connections or motor communication.
- Reduced Range: This can be due to low tire pressure, riding in high assist modes frequently, cold weather, or an aging battery. Ensure proper tire inflation and consider lower assist levels.
If issues persist after basic troubleshooting, contact customer support for further assistance.
