Product Description

The Bafang BBSHD 1000W mid-drive conversion kit (UART) is the most popular high-power mid-drive on the market. With 160 Nm of max torque and a heavy-duty build, it's the go-to kit for off-road fat bikes, trail builds, sand and steep terrain. It drives through your bike's gears, so it climbs far better than a hub motor of the same power, and the bike pedals normally with the motor off.

For off-road use only. At 1000W, this kit exceeds the 750W limit most US states set for e-bikes, so it is intended for off-road trails and private land. For a street-legal build, see the BBS02B (up to 750W).

Display required: choose your display when you order. The display is priced separately, which keeps the kit price lower and lets you pick the one you want. Need the kit without a display? Contact our sales team and we'll help you check out.

Golden Motor is an authorized Bafang reseller. Every kit is backed by our 1-year warranty and our own support team.

Important: UART and CAN Bus parts are not interchangeable. Prefer Bafang's newer system? See the BBSHD CAN Bus kit.
