The Jones Plus LWB HD/e has a standard 68 mm English/BSA threaded bottom bracket which is one of the most commonly used bottom bracket shells in use today. This allows the frame to be built up with either a mid-drive ebike motor, or, a regular bicycle crankset.
There are two options for motors, the 500 W BBS02 and the 750 W BBSHD. Both options are mid-drive motors from Bafang and are high-performing, lightweight, quiet, well engineered and well proven in their durability. Mid-drive motors offer a low center of gravity and the ability to gear down the motor for increased torque and control at lower riding speeds. Both motors have a pedal assist systems (PAS), that gives you motor power when you pedal. You can choose the level of motor assistance that you would like as you ride using the on the handlebar display. The display also shows battery level, speed, distance and other details. Both motor options use a similar LCD display and the same brake sensing levers, wiring harness, battery mount, and speed sensor.
The BBS02 is a popular and reliable mid-drive motor from Bafang. At 500 W, it has plenty of power for trails, city, and all types of riding. It is lighter weight, smaller, and more affordable than the BBSHD. The bikes that come with the BBS02 option do not come with a throttle, but one can easily be added.
At 750 W, the BBSHD ebikes have the maximum amount of power allowed for ebikes in many places. It is similar to the BBS02 but is more robust, is slightly larger, heavier, and has bigger cooling fins. The bikes with the BBSHD motor come with a throttle.

Range
The distance you can ride an ebike on a full battery charge varies greatly depending on several variables.
Here are some tips on how to increase the range of your ebike. It's just like trying to get better mileage in a car by driving in a way where you conserve energy. Driving real smooth with easy accelerations and not speeding will increase your mileage.
- Pedal to help the motor as much as you can.
- Pedal at a higher cadence.
- Use a lower power level when possible, especially at lower speeds.
- Pedal only when starting out, power level 0. Then increase power assist once moving.
- Don’t use power on downhills.
Here are the stats from some of the rides we've done. Some riders are stronger than others and individual results will vary:
