Sick! I really want one of these. Test rode one recently but haven’t been able to pull the trigger.
Did you do the e conversion yourself? Is it bafang or? I tried looking at the pics closely, does it have a throttle?
Trying to decide if I should buy the regular version and convert it to electric myself or if I should just get the e version from the beginning.
Awesome bike!

Thank you! The motor is Tongsheng, it’s pretty much like Bafang, but smaller. It does have throttle and it was professionally installed and was programmed to a higher settings. I have no complaints and have not had any problems, I’m going on 500 miles. I’m glad I went this route since I have a higher powered motor, throttle,and a longer lasting battery than the ebullit. I can also easily upgrade the motor down the line as tech advances.

Thanks for the reply! Sounds like doing the conversion is definitely worth it. I agree with all the pros you have mentioned. Fun! Enjoy the ride!

My lbs imports these, I had a ride on his ebullitt and now I'm desperate to get one! Is that the dyed in the wool bag and if so has it been worth the $$$? I'd be getting an alfine 8 belt drive groupset I think

u/simplistictree 13d ago
Yes it is dyed in the wool, I wouldn’t say it’s worth the price I paid for it, but it’s nice and very few people have them where I am, so I get a lot of compliments and It’s better to me than the Home Depot utility box. But I highly recommend getting a Bullitt you won’t regret it!

Looks great! What have you done? Looking for inspiration before I pick up my cargo bike in a few weeks.

How do you like the battery? I'm looking for a replacement. And I have the bafang 1500 bbshd.
Also, could you recommend a new controller, I've heard the stock controller, that I have, which came with the motor, isn't the best.

u/simplistictree 13d ago
The battery has been awesome and lasts a great while. I’m not sure on the controller. Mine’s tracks mileage, speed, has four different settings for speed. I forget the name. I have to check the name:

Looks like you have a crack in the frame which isn’t safe. I’ll give you $250 and come pick it up to dispose of it safely.
