The Bafang BBS01B is the original mid-drive conversion unit and remains the benchmark for legal UK bike conversions. Rated at 36V 250W continuous, it drives through your bottom bracket so the motor’s torque is multiplied by your gears — giving smooth, natural-feeling assistance on hills without straining the motor.

Fits a standard threaded BSA bottom bracket and centres the weight low and central for balanced handling.
