    Thanks for the info on the throttle. I may just buy one. My worry there is if I buy one and really like it, I'll be using the throttle all the time instead of PAS but as it is now, I think my thumb throttle is borderline dangerous

    I don't see where the half twist throttle is specifically for the ultra motor, either that or I'm not reading it right.

    The PAS modes took some getting used to. The Haibike was much more "natural" That said, I'm happy with the PAS modes but would like to tone them down in the lower levels and reduce the motor after run time. I don't think this is possible with canbus tuning at this time or if it is, it's...

    I won't be trying to convert my canbus to uart and I'm also not ready to drop 800 bucks on a new motor but it's good to know that's possible in the future, if needed. WIth 3,500mi. on the bike (Rize RX) I've become pretty skilled w/ the throttle which I rarely use anyway. I'm happy w/ all the...

    But more importantly, how important IS bran fiber? My ultra is a beast and I'd love to be able to tone it down in the lower PAS modes but I don't think that's possible with canbus. I think if I nailed the touchy throttle in ANY gear it would snap the chain so that's another thing I'd like to tune

    I'd love to find a simple dongle or device to program my CANBUS Bafang ultra.

    I did buy a larger chainring but it was poor quality aluminum and there's an issue with clearance of the chain stay as well. I'm getting over 2,000mi. on a chain with the stock setup and I'm rarely going faster than 25mph so I just live with it but I think a quality chain ring with a few less...

    I'm glad to hear it's not just me with the Bafang thumb throttle!

    I have a bafang ultra motor and a push down to accelerate thumb throttle on the left handlebar. It's VERY touchy and difficult to modulate on bumpy roads. I rarely use it because it's a mid drive and I'm trying to get good longevity from the chain and sprockets. The sudden torque on the chain...

    My Experience Registering Three E-Bikes with the New Jersey MVC (First Day of Registration)

    NY state is no picnic either. We took our PA registered snowmobiles there to ride them and had to show proof of insurance (no biggie) and register them in NY state which turned out to be a huge hassle. We'd traveled a long way (in winter) and they required TWO picture ID's. I only had one. The...

    Aren't the crankshaft seals double lipped rubber? Should do a decent job

    Someone Left the Bike Out In the Rain

    My bafang ultra is IP65 but I noticed gaps where the rubber grommet is supposed to seal the cables going into the motor housing. I filled the voids with silicone so water should not be able to find it's way in. I don't know how it could have this rating when you can actually see where water...
