It's getting dicey!

Congrats on the change up. The Bafang Ultra is a pleasure to ride. I've been riding the Ultra for 2+ years now on my full suspension eMTB. Zero problems, always plenty of power to get the job done. I rode the Bafang BBSHD for two years prior to that, same power and torque. Still runs flawlessly...

Yes

Considering motors don't actually have a "watt rating" the answer is "no". Watt ratings are BS, and each manufacurer could use differnet measurement standards if they want to. If you are buying a motor, controller, or battery(BMS), you should understand the nominal and peak operating parameters...

OEM Tourque "ratings" are not indicitive of speed. I believe the addmotor is a rear hub drive? Rear hubs can be very fast, and can ramp up speed quickly, often faster than mid-drives. I ride an eMTB with a Bafang Ultra mid-drive rated at 165nm. I have an Aventon Level with a 90nm rear hub motor...

Thanks, good to know

Schwalbe Nobby Nic's, and Maxxis Minion DHR

I'm dying to hear if this is the issue. :)

Sounds like the contorller is just not reporting the amps and watts ot the display? Or teh display is not reading it? But the bike runs fine?

I did a deep dive on Rohloff before I installed the Rohloff on my eMTB. Searched many a forums and determined that the electronic shift version is plagued with problems. Many unhappy owners. I installed the manual shift version and could not be happier. Riding vary hard for 14 months almost...

Are you using a UART display?

"Or could it be that all these problems (completely warped wheel and broken spoke) happened because I had the seatpost changed, and this is not the original configuration?" The temptation is oh so strong with this one :p

Thanks! Yeah Rohloff hubs have been available on Amazon for a while. Understand, I do not believe these are hubs and parts are being sold by Rohloff authorized distributors or service/sales centers. https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/worldwide

Welcome to the Forum.

I had issues too with adjustments. Very finicky. I had minor damage too many times on rocks, roots, etc. Then it was too finicky to adjust after tiny mishaps. I finally ditched the whole dearailleur thing and installed the Rohloff 14 Speed IGH. Man it is heaven on an eMTB! I would never go back...

How many teeth on your front chain ring? How many on the rear? Just curious.

CAN version you are out of luck as far as programming is concerned. I honestly don't believe you have a lack of "power" problem. I have the same motor and Rohloff hub. My bike will will climb any hill at speed, for a long duration without overexertion. You may have some other problem. Have you...

Volts X Amps = Watts 52 * X = 2200 X = 42.3 You will need to install a controller rated at 42+ nominal amps. Don't do it. If your motor is UART, get a cable and program the torque settings. @smorgasbord has a whole thread on it.

I've got a BBSHD too, on a Fat Tire Bike. You do realize that you are going to have to work harder with the ULTRA becuase it's torque sensing and there is "no free lunch". The BBSHD has cadence sensing which is going to power you up to speed whether you are pedaling hard or easy. BBSHD is a lot...

I have the same motor and Rohloff hub. 30 Amp controller, 48V battery. I cannot imagine having any problem climbing long and steep grades. Something else must be amiss. What is your transmission ratio (Chainring Teeth/ Rear Sprocket Teeth)? I was running 2.5 which had ridiculous climbing...
