Yet another reason...... why we love the Bafang BBS01/02/HD motors.

We were recently delighted to be able to help an ex-serviceman, who uses a recumbent Ice Trike for off-road fun and exercise.
Since becoming a double amputee, he'd mainly been riding the trike along local fire roads, but quite understandably, found the dead-spots in the pedal stroke a real chore.
He would tolerate the discomfort in order to get out, get exercise and have fun, but now, thanks to the wonders of these little crank motors, it doesn't have to be that way!
A fair bit of alteration was performed to adapt the motor kit to deliver the best possible results, but we're really happy with the outcome, and he seems to be putting in the miles getting used to his new toy.
We converted his wife's KMX trike too, and now their rides take them far further with more smiling and less grimacing .
He only seems to use the assist on the uphills, reducing the assist to 0 once through the gritty part of the climb, where his lack of full pedal stroke would make maintaining speed a little too much.
It's one thing getting a little help on the commute, quite another when life as you know it is taken away from you.
Here's a few snaps of them out and about in the glorious Welsh countryside.
A sure case of more smile per mile.

What our customers say...


"Thank you so much for all your help and advice. I'm absolutely delighted with my bike!
​I did 20 miles on it today, admittedly quite a flat route, but I enjoyed a gentle boost when I felt a bit tired and the best bit was cycling home from the station (uphill all the way, right up through the centre of Lewes) which I usually dread, but today it felt really smooth and pretty
and relaxing. I'm looking forward to my next ride already, and know I'm going to use it so much more.
I found the gears easier than my old bike. Much prefer just having the 8 on one shift, and they are all really smooth.
Another unexpected benefit was that I felt safer. At a couple of points where I might struggle normally, junctions, roundabouts etc. the bit of extra power meant I could get away more quickly, and concentrate on navigating safely.
I really appreciated that you took so much time to explain everything, and the try-out ride this morning was really helpful. It gave me more confidence that I had tackled that hill and succeeded. 
Would thoroughly recommend your service rather than buying a bike 'off the peg'."
- Sarah, Lewes, September 2018.
