Product Description

The Bafang BBS02B mid-drive conversion kit (UART) turns a regular bicycle into a smooth, hill-climbing e-bike. Because it drives through your bike's own gears, a BBS02B climbs better and uses less battery than a hub motor of the same wattage. Choose from four power versions, from a light 350W commuter setup to a 750W kit with 120 Nm of torque.

Approximate top speed: 20 to 28 mph (32 to 45 km/h) depending on version (see table below). Speeds are approximate on flat ground with a 26"-29" wheel and depend on battery, gearing, rider weight and terrain. You can also set a lower speed limit in the display.

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.

Why UART?

UART is Bafang's original communication protocol and the most popular choice for DIY builds. It works with the widest range of displays, and you can fine-tune power, pedal assist levels and speed limit yourself with a UART programming cable. See how to program your Bafang controller.

Important: UART and CAN Bus parts are not interchangeable. Displays, throttles and sensors must match your motor's protocol. For Bafang's newer system, see the BBS02B CAN Bus kit.

FAQ

Will a BBS02B fit my bike?
It fits most bikes with a standard 68-73mm threaded bottom bracket. Measure your bottom bracket width before ordering, and see our Bafang fitment guide.

Is it street legal?
The 750W version matches the 750W limit most US states use for e-bikes. See our e-bike law guide for your state's rules.

BBS02B or BBSHD?
The BBS02B is lighter and ideal up to 750W. For 1000W off-road builds, choose the BBSHD.
