    Bafang M620 Ultra motor broken? Low torque problem. Best retailer for US?

    >4000mi on my current motor and it's working perfectly. Opened it up at 1000mi to grease it with Mobil SHC100 and everything looked fine at that point. The motor is quieter now then when new and I have the older motor predating the release of the "quiet gears". My order is for another project...

    How much difference do street tires make compared to knobbies

    Range is probably the last consideration when selecting a tire....and impossible for others to quantify with all the variables. That said I've switched out nobby to a more street tread several times now and I'm never disappointed. Ride quality and noise level improve and pavement handling is a...

    They've got some good deals but like ebay you need to vet the seller. Only buy from those with lots of positive feedback... that offer free returns and have been in business a while. Many times they're selling exactly what you see on Amazon I'm consistently getting things delivered in about 7...

    Bafang M620 Ultra motor broken? Low torque problem. Best retailer for US?

    I just ordered a motor and controller from GBK and they shipped in one day. Anna was super helpful and responsive. Motor (UART quiet gear) and Controller serial number dates are May 2024 build. I chose slow boat from China as I'm in no rush so I'm planning on up to 30 days travel time. FedEx...

    DJI vs Bosch vs Pinion: Unbelievable Difference!!

    Loss of traction and wheelie can also be attributed to rider error. He's not use to that amount of power so he selected the incorrect gear and starting practice. Riding a Bafang Ultra has had that same benefit (issue) and rider experience with that amount of power eliminates any issue. You...

    Zen Photon Ultra - limited version (Bafang Ultra, Rohloff Speed hub, Gates belt drive)

    So is the motor a Zen or a Bafang Ultra? Even your website gives conflicting information. And what ever happened to the Ultra that were being assembled in Feb /March?

    I've been working on my Zen for over a year and it still continues. When it's working, the bike is awesome... But the myriad of installation mistakes is beyond acceptable. Funny thing is in my discussion prior to buying I said I was tired of the maintenance of my 15yr old bbs build and I...

    Charging Procedure

    There's a button on my Zen battery with the typical power ON icon but it doesn't seem to turn the battery on or off. It does light an adjacent single LED so it may be some kind of level indicator... but I'm guessing. Also the charger output is 54.4v and when I asked about that... 0 None of...

    Charging Procedure

    If you search on here you'll see this discussion many a time... and I've always said just follow the manufacturer instructions. For most here with the more advanced batteries this is a non issue and I've only had this issue with the most basic of batteries. 1 of 3 types I've owned. Though Ravi...

    Yes all things Specialized are the pinnacle of engineering and knowledge which is instantly transferred to the owner at the moment of purchase. 🙃
