@mbouck great write up thank you! Do you (or anyone for that matter) know if this set up would work with a multi-mode light? I would like to install this Fisher Fab House Ultra 3200 Light on a Bafang M620 powered custom bike, and matain control of the headlight through the Bafang Display. If...
@JRA I appreciate the feedback. I'll use this bike in a wide variety of terrain, hunting different areas in ID, MT, WY, CO, AZ, etc. I'm sure I could do fine with a 3" tire but I really like the idea of increased stability and versatility, especially with heavy loads.

Thanks @JRA. I certainly will be looking to up-size the battery, I'm planning on getting the factory 14ah just to get up and running. Ideally I'll build a larger capacity in-tube, or an external similar to Jon A's.
The Alloy Hanger I referenced in the first post was actually an alloy motor...
Hello all! I've been a lurker for awhile, I wanted to introduce myself and start posting my journey. I've been looking at ebike's for several years, mainly to use in the woods hunting. There are many areas where I hunt that can be accessed with ebikes, having a quiet & effective means of...
