Hi there E-bikers!
I currently own a BBS02 on an old K2 Zed which as been a wonderful experience so far. I have a 13 mile commute into work and in the past 4 months have put almost 900 miles on the bike. We are currently in the process of buying an Xtracycle long tail cargo bike so that the 2 kids (ages 4, and 1) can come along and we're certain we want to electrify it as well. I'm looking for some guidance if a BBS02 would survive on this bike?
A little about my riding style, on my K2, I only use PAS and ride no higher than PAS 3 of 5. I would expect the same with the xtracycle. So far I've already gotten in the habit of downshifting to the lowest gear and not using throttle at all to start off. Hills are the same thing, pedal till it gets hard then downshift till the motor catches up in PAS, never use throttle on the hills.
Does the collective wisdom on this forum think that a BBS02 on a cargo bike with this riding style is a bad idea? Looking for your wisdom please!
