    Bafang Motor replacement

    I only managed to take the ebike out twice as I was traveling and the weather is good so its all manual mountain bike for now. But with 1-9 mode and keeping to 0 or 1 assist level, I managed to get two rides totaling 46 miles out of the BT F05 215WH battery. Thats with 3k miles on the bike...

    Bafang Motor replacement

    Thanks for posting this. I will definitely take a look. Quick update on my situation. The torque sensor was delayed in shipment and I ended up getting a significant disconnect on a brand new M800 motor from Bafang. Got both motors back and still planning to get the torque sensor fixed on the...

    Bafang Motor replacement

    I finally got the other display unit from AliExpress and the other motor is experiencing exact same issue. The assist will not turn on at all but the speed shows fine on the display, levels change and shows battery charge fine with no errors at all. When I turn on the walk assist mode, the motor...

    Bafang Motor replacement

    Nice, anyway will most likely be selling my Bafang Gravel bike after I get the fixed motor back, as I'm more or less as far as I can get with recovery after my 7th ankle surgery and mostly back on manual mountain bikes. Will be replacing this gravel e-bike building one on this carbon frame...

    Bafang Motor replacement

    I am aware and I did see posts on some of the AliExpress listing of people getting the account setup. Not sure how at this point.

    Bafang Motor replacement

    Good point, there is a tool you can purchase to be able to reprogram but it requires Bafang account. I can actually buy it from Bafang directly but not sure what documentation will be included or I can get my hands on. If I do get it and documentation, I will post on this forum. To be fair, the...

    Bafang Motor replacement

    Thats a problem for sure, the dealers are not ready or tooled to support the products, good example is biksdirect where I got my bike. Its a great bike at a great price, when it works. Its a shame as they got good motors.

    First e-bike for a 68 year old - buying help needed

    Good point but any big brand should have dealers in most areas so if you get for example a Trek then any Trek authorized dealer will be able to support it. I would be far more concerned with online only brands. I have a Bikesdirect gravel bike with Bafang M800 and good luck getting that serviced...

    First e-bike for a 68 year old - buying help needed

    Maybe so, but it is half price and it os Specialized and they stand behind their products. Its our 5th Specialized bike.

    First e-bike for a 68 year old - buying help needed

    Looks like there is a used small Como 4.0 with only 411 miles for $1649 + shipping. Never used that site and not affiliated but its a great deal. https://upway.co/products/specialized-turbo-como-40-ubk10

    First e-bike for a 68 year old - buying help needed

    I was very presently surprised how my wife's Como 4.0 handles and its power. The bike is a bit heavy so I would not plan on anything less then a solid hitch bike carrier and getting it on top of it or up and down stairs maybe an issue for some people. But if you plan to just ride it out of the...

    Bafang Motor replacement

    Its a bit crazy how little support there is from the vendor and lock of service places. I work on all my bikes including full builds, shock can, fork lowers and full damper service and it's really frustrating how little I can do to diagnose this. Fingers crossed its the display.

    First e-bike for a 68 year old - buying help needed

    My wife 53 has Specialized Turbo Como and while its heavy due to the large battery it is really well build and performs great.

    Bafang Motor replacement

    Well no go, I did a 26 mile loop yesterday and the pedal assist activated only a 2 to 4 times. Tried everything I could think of. Interesting is that walk assist mode works fine every time, motor activates and propel the bike and I can see the motor watts on the display. My DP C260 display shows...

    Bafang Motor replacement

    Thanks, yes I understand you need Bafang login which I may not be able to get. Still waiting for reply from my Bafang service contact. I guess in the end the optometer value is really not that important unless I'm going to sell the bike otherwise I just count miles on the new motor from the last...

    Bafang Motor replacement

    Sorry I meant assist levels, I'm new to this so not sure what potential custom settings there might be in the motor for that specific bike. I can adjust wheel size in the head unit and its same as it was. It does show 3k miles which I guess is just tracked in the head unit itself but do not see...
