    500c Display membrane tear

    It was shipped from the US on 3/23 and arrived on 3/25. Place called happy riding from eBay. Place has 100% feedback rating. I’m going to pull the plastic off later when I get home and see what it looks like.

    500c Display membrane tear

    This was the sellers reply: Hello friend That is the membrane of the meter, you can tear off the membrane on the surface. If the gauge doesn't crack, it's good

    500c Display membrane tear

    Did u see my pic? I can certainly take that membrane off. Just want to make sure it’s supposed to be taken off. Just seems odd to me.when I took the screen protector off, there was a small round sticker in the upper left corner of the display. It was small but I believe it said tear off...

    500c Display membrane tear

    If you’re speaking of the one with the plastic tab, I removed that one. This is underneath that one. Seems well attached to the display. Are u saying that’s normal? Was thinking since it needs to be torn off something wasn’t quite right.

    500c Display membrane tear

    So I bought this new 500 C display online. Upon inspection it had the membrane tearing off in one spot. The seller says I can tear it off and it will be fine. Isn’t that membrane there for a purpose? Maybe waterproofing I think I need to exchange it any thoughts?

    Battery to mid drive connection

    Thanks for all the advice. I think I’ll go with the marine butt splice heat shrink connection with an electrical tape wrap. This seems the easiest way since my motor is already mounted and I have crimpers and a heat gun.

    Battery to mid drive connection

    Thank you for the reply. I’ll use the he suggested shrink wrap. Any suggestions to make the connections tighter? One seems a little loose.

    Battery to mid drive connection

    Hello! So I just finished installing a bafang mid drive. The battery plate and motor both have bullet connectors. After putting these together should they be crimped or just secured with electrical tape?

    Unused Bafang BBS01B Wires

    Hi all, I'm installing a Bafang BBS01B on my electra townie with a nexus 8 internal hub. So I don't plan on using the wires for the light. Or the gear sensor, since with an 8i you should technically switch gears without pedaling. I do not plan on using the throttle either so that is another...

    How to tell level of charge left in battery on the road

    Thanks so much for the ideas! I’m going to start with using just the battery level on the display… then hook something up later that is more precise
