Hi, I just finished a build putting a bafang mid drive on my Giant Trance mountain bike. I have a couple of questions:
1. I have the 500c mini color display. Seems real nice but it doesn't always show the power output (watts). Is this typical, any idea why sometimes it will display the wattage output and other times it doesnt? Seems like in certain gear vs pedal assist levels if just goes to 0. Definitely not consistent.
2. So this is a 1000W motor, if I am just running the throttle or at a high pedal assist level my wattage output is often over 1000W. Is this OK for the motor, I would guess if you ran it over this level for to long you may overheat the motor? Maybe there are safeties already built into the motor and it will shut itself down if it gets to warm. Any thoughts on this?
3. So this bike is a full suspension mountain bike with an aluminum frame. When the power kicks in there is a noticeable wiggle in the rear wheel. Feel like the torque is pulling the rear of the bike to the right. I tried a couple of different front sprockets, the one with a larger offset seemed to lessen the amount of pull. Also assist level 1 is not as bad as assist level 5. I am somewhat worried about the frame of the bike and the wear and tear over time. Wondering if anyone else feels this and if there is a fix.
