    Topfire MD17, Bafang M600 build

    Howdy! No problem at all with the M600; I usually ride on power level 1, and amp it up when I'm riding uphill or in sand. I didn't install a throttle, as I find the PAS to be very smooth and responsive. I've never had a problem with unexpected "surges". As far as the bike goes: I love it! The...

    Topfire MD17, Bafang M600 build

    I got the DP C240.CAN. I now realize that there is a C241 version with built-in bluetooth, which you can supposedly connect to your phone for more data.

    Topfire MD17, Bafang M600 build

I wanted an "all mountain" / enduro geometry: 150mm travel front and rear. I found a brand that I hadn't seen any...

    Hello from Northern California!

    Hello! I've been tinkering with ebikes for about a decade now. Being an engineer, DIY is my preferred route. My first bike was built a decade ago on a Kona Nunu, 26" hardtail using a GnG motor. I rode that thing all over SF, but it wasn't the most reliable setup. Upgraded it over time with...

    Do you need an optical gear display in your shifter?

    Hi, new to this board, and just happened on this thread. Hope this late comment isn't too off-topic from the original post. I'm trying to decide which Shimano SL-M6100 shift lever to get. It apparently comes in FOUR varieties, two with OGD and two without. Because I'm getting the M6100 brake...
