Why buy, when you can build👊🏿

Good point regarding the cable ties for the chainstay protector. I'm looking into seeing whether I can find a one piece mold which will simply clip on. If I can't find one, I'll make my own. But so far, its protected the frame so I'll probably replace the blue and yellow cable ties with black...

Typical British weather and trail conditions. But the new rig's coping well 😀 You can tell that I'm not timid with my bikes Although we won't be drinking out of that water bottle 😅

I feel your pain @DavidRu. For me, I had to hunt down the L6 Display which enabled me to increase the speed limit on my NCM Moscow 29er.

Not too sure. Although, I have been told that different rear shock sizes have been used within the frame. The geometry changes but the rear wheel travel cannot exceed 150mm.

Apologies for the delay. I should have shared a link to my thread on EMTB Forums. https://www.emtbforums.com/community/threads/dengfu-e22-frame-thread.26880/ The rear shock requirements from what I understand is 230x60 giving 150mm of rear wheel travel only. I go into detail in the thread 👍🏿

Its a bafang rear hub motor. 500w. Ironically, this hub motor comes with a shimano freehub body compared to many which use a freewheel. I am leaning towards better suspension forks however, my concern is that the headtube is designed for a straight steerer fork. Cane Creek and hope do make an...

That's a good point. I'll see if Mudhugger have something more appropriate 👍🏿

Before, After 😀 The weight (considering the battery and controller have been replaced), roughly remains the same. So handling shouldn't be impeded. The G-Tech now has a display which allows the level of assist to be toggled via remote compared to toggling it via the battery. And the icing...

Gottya. I'll bare that in mind with my recommendations. I'm just looking up the yuba bodaboda. Bare with me as I try to work out the frame (relying on Google images at the moment but I know riders older than myself who have a near encyclopedic memory of every single bike made 😅). I'll keep you...

Hmmm!!! Interesting @indianajo. I can see that your conversation have not been without their fair share of hick-ups. Allow me to ponder your build for a day or so to see if anything comes to mind in terms of battery and controller placement on your frames and cross-reference it with what is...

I've already sourced the new battery and controller @harryS, but many thanks for your recommendation 👍🏿. @indianajo, that's brilliant 😀. Truly your above message is a testament to how ebikes have aided in your mobility as well as demonstrating that items on the bike will eventually need...

So I started a similar thread on EMTB Furoms with a somewhat positive success. But I figure that EBR would be a better and appropriate place to continue the theme over here. Hopefully, this thread will give confidence to both veteran and new comers to ebikes that (subject to maintenance)...

A compelling case you've raised @Ravi Kempaiah 👍🏿. "Food for thought" as they say 👊🏿.

I agree with everything which has been highlighted on the thread. Bluetooth/wireless displays does open opportunities for consideration and innovation. But it does open potential issues in terms of longevity, durability and reliability. As mentioned by @ProphetZarquon, third party developers...

Keep a watchful eye on GBK (Green Bike Kits) @SereneMal. They will soon be selling the batteries for the newer standard of frames. As soon as they become plentiful in availability (and update their website), I'll do my utmost to spread the word 👍🏿 In addition (although I will be looking into...

Its days like this, I'm reminded that I'm lucky to be alive in this day and age. Ride well everyone ✌🏿

I guess we'll have to see whether or not EggRider will bring out something intuitive for 2022 😅

This is news to me. Yes granted, I'm aware of the app. However, that app doesn't support all bafang motors (M400 being one). Thus, a traditional programming cable is required. Simon's video is a good example as to what I was referring too before.

An even better idea, would be for Bafang to create a bluetooth module for their motors. Oddly enough, third party developers have done this already (with some having great success from the Germans 👍🏿). This 'in my opinion', would eliminate the need to continue with either the UART or CANbus...
