Not saying I did, but I MAY have driven to Vegas from Orange County JUST to pick up this PRS-33 lift for basically dealer cost… Word is, it was the one on display in the Park booth at Interbike ’15.

Early in the BBS02 install on an XL Giant Talon frame. Tons of space in the triangle for the downtube battery pack!

Another BBS02 I installed on a road bike…

It makes me calmer just LOOKING at it! The “Dad’s Trike” project becomes the “Dad’s BIKE” project, and the 18 amp BBS02 finds a new home in the ergonomic Electra Townie. A nice handling bike with dual Sturmey Archer drum brakes and 48V/10ah Ping battery in the back. Geared to max out at 20mph, Dad has plenty of torque zipping around the local greenway path.

This was an expensive lesson… Sorta kinda stable delta trike, with an overpowered BBS02 mid drive and days of trying to make a drum brake hub work as a jackshaft. This was his one and only test ride before the project was abandoned for a 2 wheeler (see blue Townie).

The two biggest bicycle maintenance/repair schools in the US are United Bicycle Institute in Oregon and Barnett’s Bicycle Institute in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I took the week long “Maintenance and Assembly” class at Barnett’s and couldn’t have been happier. I hope to take their 2-week class at some point. If you like bikes, and can afford it, GO!

Full suspension BBS02 commuter with custom underhung Samsung rectangle pack (sandwiched between aluminum plates). Rear gear cluster would later be replaced by a White Industries Eno single speed freewheel. This was my daily rider for some time.

Happy customer with his BBS02 kit installed!
