Hi friends, Please go easy on me, I just transitioned from a 500W hub motor to a 1,500W mid-drive Bafang Ultra (G510.1000 / M620), on a 85 pound a fat tire cruiser/hunting style ebike. (For those curious, the bike I'm referring to goes by several names, including Bikonit Warthog (MD750 /...

Very interesting thoughts shared here. I've been riding by Bafang Ultra in 95 degree heat under the baking sun for a bit, and the motor gets extremely hot to the touch... Hopefully it won't start overheating or throwing error messages!

Mitchb, curious what comparable mid-drive ebikes could be good alternatives in the 3.5K USD range. All thoughts welcomed.

Hi Mitchb, totally appreciate your insights and the feedback, you made a lot great points. 100% on point that the stock Shimano Tourney 7 speed drivetrain is ridiculously under-provisioned for the Bafang Ultra, but $250 at a Local Bike Shop fixes that with an upgrade to the SRAM X5 9-Speed :)

Thank you Don, as it follows, curious to hear whether these batteries catching fire is a common occurrence also! :) On this forum I've read of a single instance of it... is it something more prolific?

Hello, curious if the Battery Retention Straps are necessary... how common is it for the batteries to randomly fall off the frame while riding? Just curious, as it seems like that would be a significant design flaw? Thanks for any insights.

Thanks again for the thoughtful responses, folks. After analyzing the responses, technical schematics, and giving it a lot of thought, I've decided not to risk dropping/opening the motor to attempt adding the tail light hard wire cable, as the risk appears too high for someone whom is not a...

Hello, my brand-new LEZYNE Macro Drive 100, which is connected to the Bafang Ultra Mid Drive Motor 6 volt headlight power line, is exhibiting the exact same behavior. I cannot seem to keep the LEZYNE Macro Drive 100 on maximum brightness consistently... it seems sometimes it does work, and...

That's a wonderful point, and thanks for the link m@Robertson.

Yes, 100%, ElevenAD. The bike has several names, including Bikonit Warthog (MD750 / HD750 / MD1000), Juggernaut Ultra Beast 2, Etek Hunter (the one I revived), Steamoon Spectre-X direct from Asia, and other unbranded look-alikes from the 'Leili' China-based supplier.

Thank you Ahicks and NVReloader for the responses and details, will analyze them shortly! :)

Yes, indeed it has very serious weight.

Thank you for the pointer, I am wondering what is the process to actually find the connection for the rear light, and then fish it out. Does anyone happen to know if the motor would have to be dissembled in order to get to the rear tail light connection? Thanks in advance for any additional...

Hi friends, I am wondering if anyone can please share their thoughts on integrated taillight solutions for the Bikonit Warthog (MD750 / HD750 / MD1000) and similar dual-battery 30A replicas based on the same frame design and using the Bafang Ultra M510 / G620 Mid Drive Motor, such as the...

The FLX Blade looks super interesting, but likely has an entirely different target audience, more of a mountain bike type of layout, rather than the cruiser layout, which is what this one is.

Yes, I would likely concur. It seems the match the layout from that Alibaba seller.

Thanks, I figured Court would be proud :)

Hey everyone, after several years of riding a standard no-frills 500W Hub-Drive Fat Tire Ebike, I've finally decided to upgrade to a mid-drive. Below is the review I wrote for the Etek (or 'E-Tek') Hunter Bafang-powered Ultra Mid Drive Ebike. Please let this forum know your thoughts on this...

Hi Group, Recently some 'replicas' of the Bikonit Warthog ($8,000 USD) have come on the ebike market, at a more affordable price. These are fully integrated dual-battery fat tire ebikes, which usually have entry-level Shimano drivetrains (anywhere from Tourney to Acera). These are basically...
