We are huge fans of Specialized bikes so when we found this Specialized Crossroads 2.0, we knew we had to convert it! This build was for a neighbor who is an avid bike rider but wanted the freedom and flexibility to travel further. He was completely blown away by the result.
The Bike
The Specialized Crossroads 2.0 frame is made of lightweight A1 Premium Aluminum making it perfect for maneuverability and reliable handling. It has a comfortable upright riding position and puncture resistant tires that virtually eliminate flats. The disc brakes also make it an ideal candidate for conversion.
The Kit
For this build, we chose a 750W Bafang BBS02 Mid-Drive motor paired with a Unit Power Pack downtube battery. The battery is 48v 13Ah which provides a range of approximately 30 miles. This style of battery integrates seamlessly on this bike. We were able to use the existing mounts originally intended for a water bottle holder for the battery mount.
The Tools
Below are links to all of the tools we used to complete this electric bike conversion. The video provides step by step instructions and shows exactly what tool was used and how to create this electric bike.
