    Installed Corn Head Grease in my new Luna Z1 Bafang Ultra Mag

    Thanks for the update. Can you tell me why did you put grease between the red lines in the bottom photo, or is that just spill-over? Plus, the bearing walls shouldn't have grease on them, right? That would only make them harder to reseat in the cover. Unless I'm missing something. Ideally...

    Ultra Tuning: Setting up PAS levels in the Basic Tab

    Nothing in those jumps out at me as a potential cause for your throttle problem. But, since you're happy with the new Basic tab settings, you should also check my posts on Torque tab settings...

    Ultra Tuning: Setting up PAS levels in the Basic Tab

    My wife's bike with the Ultra motor and DPC 18 display (since replaced with an 860c) had a throttle that worked properly, so I don't know what's going on, sorry. As a last measure of desperation, can you share all your settings? Maybe something will look out of line - grasping at straws here...

    Talk me out of a Biktrix Juggernaut Ultra Eagle 2

    While I do think Biktrix offers a good combination of value, customization, and post-sales support, their "electric bikes designed in Canada" claim is pretty hollow considering almost everything they use is sourced and available from other companies as well. And while they've claimed here to...

    Ultra Tuning: Setting up PAS levels in the Basic Tab

    Glad to hear it! My math came up slightly different, but still in the same ballpark: 13, 17, 22, 28, 36, 46, 60, 77, 100 for a 29% power multiplier per level. But at any rate, it's fair to consider the math a starting point from which you can tweak further depending on what you feel when riding...

    Ultra Tuning: Setting up PAS levels in the Basic Tab

    The only other thing I can think of is to raise the rear wheel off the ground and see if the throttle works then.

    Bafang mid drive issues

    I had a somewhat similar issue, which you can read about here. Essentially, my main harness cut got cut, leading to weird problems and eventually shorting out two displays and a controller. Those shorts are nasty things and there's apparently very little protection against them built into any...

    Ultra Tuning: Setting up PAS levels in the Basic Tab

    I am also running Hardware Version 1.5 and Firmware Version 1.0.0.4. Throttle works from a stand still for me in all modes, with Throttle Tab's Designated Assist at 9. What gear are you in (easy spin/hard spin)? What are your PAS Level 9 settings on the Basic Tab? What are your other...

    REAL bargains

    I have used these $20 handlebar grips for a couple of years now: They combine the ergonomic shape that supports your wrist with horns at the ends as an additional position, handy for climbing or just having a change. They mount easily, have held up well, don't rotate when attached, and come...

    Raising handlebars on Vintage Electric Cafe e-bike?

    Bike fit is tough to do without being there in person. What would be best is a picture of you in riding position on the bike, taken from the side. That way we could look at your trunk and shoulder angles. If your back is hurting, you probably have too small a trunk angle and too large a shoulder...

    REDUCE AIR PRESSURE WITH TANNUS INSERT!

    I see nothing on Tannus' website FAQ about the need to lower tire pressures. What it does say is: To blow a tire off the rim on smooth sidewalks at 50 PSI with a tire rated to 65 psi, something other than tire pressure was wrong.

    Are newer hub motors as capable as mid drives?

    YMMV of course. I could point you at some hills the Rad Rover we rented a few years ago couldn't handle. But, it was a nice bike, especially for the price.

    Are newer hub motors as capable as mid drives?

    This guy apparently has never ridden a mid-drive motor with a throttle, and apparently doesn't understand how mid-drive motors work in that the chainring is not directly connected to the pedals. Combined with his take on power (numbers don't matter, it's how the power can be applied), and weight...

    Eggrider V2. Can you adjust torque settings of Bafang M620/G510 motors with this?

    I haven't done a post on that tab yet, as I haven't had the time to go through the settings and confirm how they work. I would start with this description for the BBSxx drives and work from there...

    Eggrider V2. Can you adjust torque settings of Bafang M620/G510 motors with this?

    When you pedal, the pedal/torque tab settings will be used. When you use the throttle, the throttle tab settings will be used. I don't know exactly what happens if you do both at the same time, which I've done quite a bit as a way to get some extra boost without changing PAS level. It feels like...

    Eggrider V2. Can you adjust torque settings of Bafang M620/G510 motors with this?

    If your bike can run on just one battery, maybe do that for the settings and then put the other display back for riding?

    Eggrider V2. Can you adjust torque settings of Bafang M620/G510 motors with this?

    Yes, it works for all those tabs. See page 54 of the EggRider manual. When you're ready to tune, start here: https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/ultra-tuning-master-thread-start-here.52509/
