Build or buy?

I see that too, but it seems more incorrect assembly or operator error. The BBB site only shows one complaint in the last 3 years. It was in regards to contacting support to eventually fund a broken hall sensor wire and a bad hall sensor. I’m not sure how both can be bad at the same time, but there was resolution. I try my all to NOT contact support. I’d rather fix it myself. If I’m going to go through a hassle, it’s going to be to learn how to do it. YouTube has given me the confidence to fix many things. HVAC, water heater, kitchen aid mixer, cotton candy machine, building a chicken coop, all kinds of things. I’m pretty handy.

A bit off topic, but one thing about rize bikes, and other bikes with a bafang middrive that I’m curious about is if the motor (M620) can be user programmed with the display/usb cable.

My Rize(2019) has an older UART M620 that can be programed with the usb cable but i think m620s made after 2021 are probably CAN-BUS and are pretty well locked down. Dont quote me on this but im pretty sure.

That’s what I was wondering. I remember reading that someone got the second battery and was planning to use it in an ebike conversion. They noted that there were 3 leads coming from the battery and couldn’t use it for their conversion. I was thinking of going the same route. I think there is a workaround to access CANBUS systems. They may have just had the wrong motor and perhaps a CANBUS motor would’ve worked.
