    Bafang 750 cable too short!!

    If they ever return my calls or emails I’ll have a better indication- and your right the frame tabs are in the way + I bought this bike partially because it didn’t have zip ties and other cobbled together aesthetics like my home built one!! I’ve received a dozen emails reminding me how many...

    Bafang 750 cable too short!!

    Yep! I needed this fixed a week ago - 4 months after warranty expired- so I was SOL for that,which I understand begrudgingly but a fact- so bought a replacement from them- of course it was the clutch but I figured I fix the failed one later and have it as a backup.....

    Check it out - the new installed motor cable is 3+ inches shorter! Installed identically to the original it doesn’t even reach the frame tabs that would hold the cable! Yow!

    Bafang 750 cable too short!!

    Yes I carefully marked parts,took pics etc of how every part was situated (I’ve also removed the rear wheel twice to replace a worn tire and then switch from the maxxis high rollers to shwalbe moto x street tires- none of this was unfamiliar) I’ve sent them a dozen pictures including one with a...

    Bafang 750 cable too short!!

    There is no slack- I’ve already purchased this replacement motor,installed it and then realized- the connection is about 3.5 inches shorter than the failed motor- I found a picture of their fold xs model with the same 750 bafang motor,it shows a much shorter cable/ I’m sure this one was...

    Hub motor replacement

    Thanks- that’s excellent advice, is there a brand of hi temp grease you can recommend? The lock tite is also a winner,I believe I need a specific security torx bit also- Need to get this fixed soon! Because it’s my only bike I rode today without any power- sure am glad I switched to the moto x...

    Hub motor replacement

    No jumping- I really haven’t tortured the bike in any way,it may have been making some racket that was masked by the maxxis high roller noise that was just recently eliminated with the switch to shwalbe moto x tires -

    Hub motor replacement

    Yes- but this all about hub motor engagement,it’s toast- the bike operates quietly and shifts as normal under human power-

    Hub motor replacement

    No all the bike hardware works perfectly- as soon as pas 1 is juiced the motor makes scraping sounds and if you throttle it,there is a slip detectable similar to a failing clutch

    Hub motor replacement

    Thanks- I’m buying a new one-I’ll swap the guts & attempt to repair the failed one,if those parts are available I’ll fix it and have a backup I guess-

    bafang 750 watt hub motor,
