RANS Fusion E-Bike Build

Starts with a used 2007 RANS Fusion





RANS FUSION Standard Bicycle Specs





Wheels JetSet 26 559 36h w/disk hubs (but rim brakes)
 



The Custom build will need the following parts:

Sram X5 Trigger shifter 9sp 1-1 activation ratio to replace the grip shifter.
The grip shifters will be removed from the standard build and the rear shifter will be replaced with a trigger shifter. This will make for a more uniform look to the handlebar and will require new grips.

Rock Brothers
The Pedals and bar grips will be replaced with the Rock Bros product that has been used on previous conversions. 




Front Wire & Tool Bag
The Front mount Tool bag is great for tools and to place excess wiring. 

Bafang Motor 



BBS02 mid drive motor 750w
Male xt60 to Anderson connector
crank arms
throttle
Brake Cutoffs: mechanical brakes
Display Upgrade: P850c
Chainring: 46t

Lekkie one nut
This is the best way to secure the motor to the bottom Bracket shell. 

Cloud Nine Saddle
After a few miles on the Standard Bike with the Standard 'saddle', I know I needed to do something different.  I did not like the standard 'saddle' and it did NOT look good on the bicycle. It looked weird.

The Saddle configuration is different on the Crank Forward Bicycles. RANS has a specific Seat Tube & Seat Tube mount that is adjustable of angles.  Crank Forward Bicycles sitting position is much more upright. Having a wider more cushioned saddle is desired.  The Cloud nine is a recommended seat for this bicycle.  I'm having a little issue with not using a Brooks Saddle, but it would take some modification on a Brooks Saddle & the Rans Mounting bracket if I wanted to go that route. 

So for now, It will be the Cloud Nine Saddle.
