Says the man with far too many accidents and multiple broken bones to the man with few and none respectively. I'll stick to my plan, understanding my bikes limits and more importantly, my own.. especially as I age and they decline. ymmv

Maybe 2 negatives make a positive. .

How about California Stefanie...

Another one who thinks it's better to learn how to crash... then it is to learn how not to crash.... smh.....

The more you look into it... LiFePO4 seems to be more of a downgrade. As mentioned earlier, there are very good reasons that it's not the standard for this application.

How much further out do you need?

The way you have them set up... You're probably getting better range with an improved lift to drag ratio 🙃 But if you set them up more in board, there is no reason to fold them in repeatedly. I much prefer bar end mount as my handlebars are crowded with accoutrement. These fold out (or...

I think for the most part you're on your own with this experience. That said.. the self appointed forum Grand Poobah often touts that he's an expert crasher having had hundreds of accidents 🙃

I fashion condoms out of old tire tubes. I leave the Slime tire sealant in there for added protection 🙃

Yes a few times. Last purchase was a new M620 kit and a few other odds and ends and everything arrived on time and well packed. Ask Anna any question you may have, she's typically very responsive. [email protected]

So a Bibattery guy? 🙃

The bike can handle it but a battery up that high far from the center of gravity is going to feel like a whale tail. If you don't ride aggressively and handling is a secondary concern it may be OK for putting around. Your test is a good idea.

I guess I have different priorities when riding... but 24lbs is ridiculously heavy. That's twice the weight of my 21Ah battery that gives me near 100mi range with a 1000w mid drive. Where the hell are you going to mount that cinder block?

Are you sure the weight, size and discharge capabilities aren't going to be an issue? They are the very good reasons that no one is using them by default. I'm not saying it can't be done but I wouldn't want to end up with a lame bike.

You had me at safer 🙃

The promise is a better battery all around. Duty cycles, weight, stability in cold weather and less chance of thermal runaway. But until I see it for sale... it's still a unicorn.

I guess that's the take away from the illiterate 🙃

Have you tried a new 1T4 cable? If so, might be easier to just replace the controller, about $150 USD Flashing the firmware probably requires special tools that might not be end user available and more expensive if tracked down anyway. Though I believe the Bafang BESST CANbus tool has UART...

Odd no mention on weight which was to be an advantage. But the real question is... will they get FM?

As they say... what goes around, comes around. I'm not shedding any tears.
