    Difference between two EVO 29er models?

    EV726 looks to be the 2016 Euro 25km/h 250W "standard" 29er version. Then there's the 29er Pro version with slightly upgraded components. EV765 is the 2015 Euro 29er. This is what I have, though my fork was an XC32 air fork with 15mm thru-axle. Edit: and the EV765 is 36V, while the 2016 ones...

    Easy Motion Big Bud Pro Video Review

    Looks like they updated the rubberized buttons on the display? BTW, instantly recognized the wheels on the Russian BMP-1. Eww.

    Neck spacers on Jumper

    The steerer tube on the fork has been cut to length right below the top of the stem clamp, and the stem clamps onto the steerer tube. The steerer cap, bolt and star nut then hold the package together. You adjust the stiffness of the headset and steerer with the cap bolt. You can't add spacers...

    BH / Dapu M155 freehub, parts and maintenance?

    I've sent a few e-mails directly to BH in Spain, with various questions, but they've never replied. Dealers from what I've understood, between the lines, is that they have very little communication with BH as well, and it mostly consists of ordering new stock and processing warranty claims. Many...

    BH / Dapu M155 freehub, parts and maintenance?

    My goal was to see the gears, but the brake disc/rotor side of the shell is one solid pot, and to get to the planetary gears, disc side sealed bearing and the one way bearing, you have to thread the cord back in, and pull the innards out the cassette side. It's probably possible to service the...

    Evo 29er: the hunt for a second wheelset and/or new rims

    Here's how to manipulate the sensor into spinning the wheel, prop the bike on a mechanic repair stand first! Remove the little cover that has two hex screws, on the outside of the dropout / sensor block. Get a pointy tool, possibly made out of a small screw driver, bent slightly near the tip...

    BH / Dapu M155 freehub, parts and maintenance?

    UPDATE: Finally pulled out the entire motor to have a look at the planetary gears. Here are some pictures of removing the motor cover and the entire motor. Some pictures are when the motor was new and not even laced onto a wheel, and others are after ~4500 km (2800 mi) and 1 year of all weather...

    Evo 29er: the hunt for a second wheelset and/or new rims

    No worries! I appreciate your offer. It's just cosmetic, and I'll try to glue one of them to see if it looks better or worse. The motor had come loose from the packing material, and was rolling around inside the package. I just tried the motor on the bike, and it works. The walking assist gives...

    Evo 29er: the hunt for a second wheelset and/or new rims

    Got the package today. Unfortunately both of the winter covers were pierced clean through by the motor axle. Luckily the motor cable doesn't seem to have too much damage, I was afraid it would get sheared by the weight of the motor. One of the connector pins was bent, and the motor flange has...

    throttle override on easy motion bikes?

    On topic, I wonder if it would be possible to manipulate the TMM4 hall sensor, either by direct mechanical means, or by interrupting the signal from it. It might be feasible to set up a throttle that merely simulates pedal torque, and would work on all assist levels. Edit2: just tried this with...

    Motor, battery, or me?

    There might be disconnected spot welds on the rails on the cell packs. You could check the voltage on a fully charged battery, or have some battery repair shop look at it. Also clean and tighten (bend slightly outward) the prongs on the battery connectors on the frame side to secure a good...

    Evo 29er: the hunt for a second wheelset and/or new rims

    Awesome! Thanks Ravi and Lenny! edit: just got notification that it has arrived, and I did the online customs clearance. Paid an extra $212 in 5% duty and 24% VAT. Shipping was $98 using USPS. edit: Shipping was apparently only $70.

    Evo 29er: the hunt for a second wheelset and/or new rims

    Not sure I like the tread, seems too slick. I already ride more tentatively with the Big Apples, though at low pressure they can envelop loose grains of gravel or wrap around small objects to find some grip in turns, and are great in wet conditions. 2.00" would mean higher pressures to avoid...

    Evo 29er: the hunt for a second wheelset and/or new rims

    Thanks. I'm curious to see if some of the torque is compromised by the possibly lower reduction in the motor. A compromise for achieving higher speeds. Which would be fine, since I was planning on using the faster motor for summer and the slower for winter. They all fit, but the OEM Alex DM18...

    Evo 29er: the hunt for a second wheelset and/or new rims

    Thanks again! I've contacted you with my details. BTW this historical moment is the first recorded incident online of an international BH US wheel purchase actually happening. I've personally contacted the other two people online in international forums claiming to have purchased a US wheel...

    Evo 29er: the hunt for a second wheelset and/or new rims

    Amazing! Thank you for taking the time to reach out. The motor on my 2015 Evo 29er is the Dapu M155 CN3614 type with the cable coming out on the disc brake side on the inner side of the dropout. Other than that, I think any similar 350W 36V motor from BH should do, as long as it doesn't have...

    How do i delimit my EVO Cross? Is it simple to do for a novice?

    Thanks JT, and everybody here for putting up with my constant whining. Some dude complaining about a product you just bought is probably not the first thing you want to see on a forum. Yes I've very much enjoyed the bike, just broke 2500 miles on it recently, and it's all I need from an e-bike...

    Seat for 2016 Evo 650B

    I went for the SQ Labs 602, but any comfortable saddle that is wide enough for your sitting bones should do. I initially got a Thudbuster ST suspension seatpost for my hardtail 29er, but had to swap out the comfier saddle on top of it anyway. (Link Removed - No Longer Exists)

    How do i delimit my EVO Cross? Is it simple to do for a novice?

    I actually have a friend staying on Oahu right now, and was thinking I'd pay her to pick up a spare rear wheel at the local dealer, dismantle the wheel and bring just the hub over when she returns. The thing is though, dealers don't sell parts, they order them on request, and BH requires the...

    How do i delimit my EVO Cross? Is it simple to do for a novice?

    Not to fuel the lawless kit frenzy either. I do not think crazy DIY kits on flimsy bike frames is a good idea, or fortunately even an option for most people, and are potentially lethal with undersized brakes, flexy frames, slim tires with poor grip, dangling wires etc. They also often have poor...
