Suggest you join the Facebook Bafang G510/M620 and M630 private group for ideas and advice. some of those enthusiasts are building Bafang 72V 6000W e-bikes. Personally I think 3000w in a hardtail is dangerous, dual suspension is “less” dangerous with far better suspension compliance at the...

I like the 97.5% charge, I didn’t think of that one. Whilst I setup custom charge profiles with a choice of amps in practice I find I only use the OEM 2 amps for my 48v battery and 5 amps for my 60v battery.

I’ve set custom profiles and both of my Satiator chargers for my 48v and 60v batteries using my Windows 10 laptop. I didn’t run into any issues and found it to be a reasonably easy process. You do need to be mindfull of the of the amp capacity of the type of plug for your particular battery if...

The rating is relative to the other helmets submitted for testing. Your helmet is still 5 STAR rated, it‘s just that there are now 102 other helmets rated better…..obviously helmets have improved since the previous test relative to yours.

Maxxis do a 27.5 x 2.00/3.00 tube which will obviously fit a 2.8 tyre which is OEM for the rear mullet setup on my Frey Beast. It’s not a threaded schrader (like the AV19 schwalbes on my other bike) but the stem is 48mm which is ample length to grip with your fingers when locking on the schrader...

Just saw this timely post over on the EMTB forums with a member sharing their comparison of chains, SRAM XX1 chain compared to a couple of Shimano chains. No measurable wear on the XX1 chain. Sounds like the XO1 and XX1 chains are the ones to buy. As mentioned above, I’ve also been surprised by...

I have been looking at the X01 chains as a possible replacement, however I have seen posts where the hollow pins have been crushed on more powerful M620 builds.

Several e-bike shops in Australia recommend the Mobil 28 grease. It has an NLGI of 1.5 per the data sheet, wide temp range with very low starting and running torque (low drag).

Welcome to A.I.! 😎

My strategy is based on what I hear when I shift and I have adapted the way I ride accordingly. To this end, upshifting into a taller gear, particularly on the Bafang powered bike, is met with a clunk if I dont back off the pedals prior to the shift. There is no such clunk when downshifting into...

Arguably one of the most reliable e-bike motors out there. Built like a tank with all steel gears, no nylon gears or belts here. Downside is weight and noise from the all steel gears (depending how generous the worker was with the grease on the day). Uart versions are programmable. I have 60v...

KMC e9 chain on Ananda powered hardtail ebike with shift cut - I only got circa 800klms before it was unrideable (badly slipping on gears). LBS put a 10 speed chain on it (not sure of brand) for free and it’s done circa 1,000 klm without issue. Shifts are also crisper with the 10sp chain. Sram...
