    Mid-Drive Motor & Mechanical 9 Speed Drivetrain - What Gear to Engage, & When?

    Thanks for the inpu, everyone. Does anyone know how to get tachometer-type functionality/insight/reading on the Bafang Ultra with the DPC 18 display? That would be golden if we could see the RPMs of the motor! :)

    Bafang Ultra Owners - Does Your Battery Remaining Percentage Jump Around Under Load?

    Hi friends, For those of us with the Bafang Ultra Mid Drive Motor, does your battery remaining percentage jump around at all, like when the motor is under load? Before I got my ebike, I test rode a different Bafang Ultra powered bike, and the percentage jumped around wildly under load. My...

    Hi everyone, Using the Bafang Ultra M510 / G620 Mid Drive Motor on my fat tire ebike, I've stumbled across a pseudo cruise control mode. When in PAS0 (no assistance from the motor), if you hold down the 'negative/down' button on the handlebar controls, if you're in a small cog (11 tooth, high...

    Ebike Specific Chains for Mid-Drive Motors?

    Hi friends, I'm wondering if anyone uses an ebike-specific chain for their mid-drive ebikes? I just noticed that KMC sells apparently an ebike specific chain, called the 'KMC e9 Sport 9-Speed E-Bike Chain'. Any thoughts on this, or should I continue to use a standard bicycle KMC chain, which...

    Bumping thread now that most of the United States is in mid-summer.... ...while I personally haven't (yet) experienced overheating on the Bafang Ultra (M510 / G620 Mid Drive Motor system), I did read some threads on this site about the DPC-18 Bafang color display possibly throwing an error if...

    Bafang Ultra Mid-Drive Fat Tire Ebike Review - Etek Hunter

    That's a good point, @ElevenAD. I've long wondered if there is a practical difference between the 48v and 52v systems (the 52v systems sure do sound attractive, on paper at least!), but I imagine someone with some expertise would be able to ascertain if there is a real-world difference between...

    Bafang Ultra Mid-Drive Fat Tire Ebike Review - Etek Hunter

    All great insights! The Rize RX is an attractive bike for sure, albeit currently sold out. Per their website, if spec'd with the second battery and 4 inch fat tires, it would be just shy of $4,000 USD plus any applicable sales tax and shipping. (I do like that the Rize RX has an integrated...
