Bafang BBS02B Motor 48V 500W
The most powerful motor that complies with Canadian Legal Standards
UART - This is the highly programmable motor! These are no longer being produced (parts are still available) so they are hard to get ! We had to custom order these as so many of our DIY-minded customers wanted the UART !
Differences between UART and CAN
UART - Older Controller, highly programmable via USB Cable / Eggrider
Ideal for those who like to tweak and adjust to their perfect liking
CAN - Newer Controller, Smoother, less programmable
Ideal for those who want hassle free installation, no need to tweak settings.
The Bafang BBS02B is a super reliable, powerful, and extremely fun mid drive motor. Robust, high torque, economical, this is no doubt one of our favorite motors of all time.
The Standard Display (DPC18) is large, vibrant, and easy to read. The optional Eggrider V2 Display is small, stealthy, and fully programmable via Bluetooth. Great for those who want to be able to customize on the fly! Also great if you're running a 52V battery, as it will provide more accurate battery info.
This motor is no slouch, even when only rated at 500W, it is the exact same motor as the 750W variant, just a slightly lower maximum current, keeping it at its 500W rating. Its still pushing a peak of near 1000W! (54.6V x 18A = 983W).
