Bafang BBS02 installed on a Bacchetta Giro


I ordered the kit from https://bafangusadirect.com. Got it in two Priority Mail boxes in a week.
I upgraded to a 52 volt battery and ordered hydraulic brake pedal sensors. If I hit either brake the motor disengages for stopping or shifting. Just stopping pedaling will disengage as well. 

The install was pretty straight forward. I ordered a stainless torque bracket from https://california-ebike.com/. It is secured to the frame with a large hose clamp with rubber tape padding under it.

With the controller on level 1 of 5 assist using very little of the assist I average 23 mph.

The excess wiring is secured with zip ties. I did not connect the speedometer since the stock cable does not reach. No need for it since I use a Garmin GPS.
