Bafang BBS02 lubrication.

Ignore all the Youtube videos showing these motors being packed with grease, watch this link for the correct way to lubricate at the end. IMHO.

Thanks, very detailed video. Not a bad idea to strip the motor down to clean and oil it once in a while. I wonder if there is a set amount of miles/km's before this is recommended?

I open my BBSHD once a year to inspect, clean and apply new grease. I have averaged 6K miles a year for the last 6 years. Other than a failed free-wheel clutch and a glitchy controller I have had no problems. Keep them clean, inspect them once in a while, don't thrash them needlessly and they are surprisingly durable.

I built a mid drive, went with a luna bbshd. Gotta say you were right on several accounts man.
I still like my mid drive for just flats and short commutes with no hills though but am loving this bbshd

It's so easy to have a great ebike... just a little intimidating for people that know nothing about bikes or motors.
