This is a cadence sensing motor. With this motor, you can set your desired level of assistance, and for each pedal rotation, the motor will deliver the designated amount of power. The Bafang motor provides a choice of either five or nine different modes to select from, allowing you to customise your level of assistance.
Please note – You will also need to choose a suitable battery if you don’t already have one. Please view our 48V Batteries HERE

Available on back-order
The Bafang BBS02B 48V 500W Mid Drive Motor Kit is a popular motor for those wanting a bit less power than the BBS02 750W. Please read our fitting guide here.
The motors are waterproofed for normal UK use. In other words they are fine with rain, frost, snow and mud. However they are not designed to be submerged in water.
This is available in 48v and 36v versions.
Key information:
- 18 amp controller (built into drive system) with upgraded IRFB3077 mosfets (i.e. reliable)
- Cadence sensing, not torque sensing.
- Connection between battery and motor will require soldering
- Changing the connector will NOT invalidate your warranty
- Replacement cable brake levers with motor cutouts (Hydraulic cutout sensors optional extra)
- Bafang thumb throttle (may be used on both sides)
- LCD Display
- 44T/46T/48T/52T chainwheel – you choose.
- Replacement cranks (both sides)
- Speed Sensor and magnet
- All required cables
- Additional kit required to fit to 73mm bottom bracket is supplied
Can I fit this myself?
Connection between battery and motor will require soldering. These motors are supplied with bullet connectors and our batteries are supplied with XT90 connectors, you will receive the corresponding XT90 connector with your battery. Changing the connector will NOT invalidate your warranty.
If you require tools to take off your bottom bracket, pedal cranks and maybe split your chain, follow this link to purchase all of the tools. You will also require a fitting wrench which you can add as an option (above).
Can I fit a 52V battery?
We would not recommend this. If you want more power – get the BBS02 750W.
Will the Bafang BBS02B 48V 500W Mid Drive Motor Kit fit my bike?
This motor is designed to fit bikes with a bottom bracket of between 67mm and 73mm. The inner diameter of the bottom bracket should be 33.5mm. Most modern bikes sold in the UK meet this standard (but please check). We have a bottom bracket guide here.
What are the (optional) gear sensor and hydraulic brake cutouts for?
The gear sensor helps achieve smoother gear changes by pausing the motor during shifts. The kit includes brake levers for cable brakes, but with hydraulic brakes or integrated gear-brake units, you need to attach brake sensors. These sensors stop the motor when braking to prevent conflict with the brakes.
