I believe from the model number yours is CANbus protocol. Just double check before ordering by looking at the connector shape. https://www.greenbikekit.com/ebike-mid-motor/dpc18-display-for-bafang-motors.html Additionally you can try Aliexpress.com, eBay and Amazon

For safety... some batteries won't output unless plugged into the bike.

Sounds like something you'd order at Dennys

Did you trace out the wires from the BMS to the cells? I wouldn't go by the BMS markings alone.

Well there's different levels of quality... Especially on entry level bikes that these motors are set up for. I can see having problems with a lighter weight road bike. Additionally if you ride abusive, most all bike hardware won't be able to withstand it for long.

My 750w/120nm Bafang build had QR and I was getting 3000mi using the KMC X8 chain. 12,000 mi on the build before I moved on and I never had an issue and I rode it hard off road. That said it was on a pretty hefty Kent FS MTB

I concur... The first nice day we had in months a few weeks ago everyone was out riding. Ran into a nice young gentleman with an S_Works at one small section of the mup that still had ice/snow on it and everyone had to dismount. Super nice guy and bike. He was young and very fit and I can tell...

They're really not hard to do if you are somewhat comfortable working on your own bike. The electrical part is pretty much plug and play but the mechanical installation of the components requires a basic understanding of working on bikes and tools needed.

So my thermostat and espresso maker are 12 and 7 years old respectively.... Do I need to do anything? 🙃

So then you agree that it's at least accurate to the online comments we've seen here... That's good enough for me. 🙃 Sounds to me then that the brand isn't so special and more proof that their long established reputation that I referred to is just a case of user delusion and pretension.

I'm not sure I even exist? . . .

And that's why I have multiple emails and aliases just for these reasons. Never use/give my actual DOB or any other personal information to anyone that doesn't really need it. Banking, business and medical are separate from anything social/shopping. My Facebook account still has an email address...

So true.... But managing pure power does much of the same. Not a reason to ride it recklessly... but a real trip all in itself. There's absolutely no reason to have to choose one over the other.

True... But I wasn't commenting on the LBS... I was commenting on their typical customers behavior. He's beside himself knowing that Specialized is even being mentioned alongside other brands. 😋

How else would you explain applauding the rude behavior by an LBS?

Smart move... Selling to the more money than brains club who needs an LBS to put air in their tires and over pays for bragging rights is lucrative. Being a snob to potential new customers is their way of weeding out anyone who has a brain and can't be bs'd 🙃

I've seen cheap chargers cause a spark no matter as the act as a load and the cheap battery charge terminals are always live. A better charger will limit a reverse current flow and/or not allow charging/connection until it senses a proper load with a few millisecond delay. One of my chargers...

Understand that cheap chargers and batteries may spark no matter what you do. That said most charging instructions say connect the battery to the charger.... then connect the charger to an electrical outlet. ymmv

fyi.. They're obligated by law to provide a certificate number when asked..

That was me and my friends. We avoided being noticed as much as possible and ran under the radar. I remember one encounter with a cop and he gave us a warning and basically said... don't be stupid.
