Another option for a water bottle holder. You could mount it on your seat tube.

The Magura caliper runs a 1mm spacer on the fork post mount, so I could just remove that as a starting point. The rear is fine. I think Magura specs the 1 mm spacer for 203mm rotors and its removal for 200mm rotors. I did buy some 220mm MDR-C rotors which I have yet to fit, so I haven’t bothered...
I would just fit them as I doubt you would have any issues. Your upsizing the rotors, so your overall braking performance will be improved.
FYI, on my eMTB, the Magura pads sit slightly higher than the MDR-C rotor outer diameter. I discovered this when I had worn the pads down to the backing...
I found them to a far better combo than the original setup. I did buy a bigger rotor for the rear, but it interferes with the nuts from the kick stand mount. So I have to figure out a way to refit the kick stand or lose it all together if I want the larger rotor.
Edit - pic of the bike after I...
I have 203 MDR-C rotors on my eMTB.
On my other ebike I upgraded my Tektro HD350 brakes to Shimano Icetek RT86 rotors (upsized 203 front and same 180 rear) with Tektro P20.11 pads from the junk E10.11. After the upgrade I felt confident the bike was actually going to stop from higher speeds...
I have done over 2500 klms and haven’t experienced any chain slipping and I am still the original drivetrain. My bike uses a SRAM 12 speed drivetrain (NX 11-50 cassette and GX everything else). Once I dialled it in on purchase, this drivetrain has been absolutely faultless ever since.
One of...
Nice. Agree on the plush ride of a dual suspension ebike. That Bafang motor is a perfect match for the fatty. I have the same motor in my Frey Beast emtb.
Sure, but not worth my time going to a metal shop when I can order online in minutes and have it delivered to my door.
None of my e-bikes are limited to 25klm/hr. They were all available from the bike shops already unlocked to higher speeds with correct wheel diameters, speed and odometer readings.
Sounds like the speed sensor trick is the way to double your speed on modern motors. Epic e-bikes sells a replacement speed sensor disc for the DJI Amflow to acheive 50 klms/hr……nice 👍

Mine is medium too. Has been on my bike for just over 2 years now and no plans to change it. Can’t say I’ve done all day rides though, nor do I wear padded cycling shorts - just sports shorts with compression liner.
One of my bikes has Tektro brakes too. They came with the green coloured backing plate pads which were useless for slowing down from higher speeds. So I changed to pads to the red P20.11, upgraded to Shimano ice tech rotors with a larger front rotor…..and cancelled my life insurance! I need to...
The 6.00 o’clock launch method would be slow (and precarious ) from a hill start. I tend to use there launch method, or 2 to 3 o’clock start position for a hill start depending on the gradient.
