Wanted to pick up ebikes for my wife and I, while considering the general shipping/supply chain situation and nearly everyone out of stock, I found a low-ish mile (160 miles) FAT-HS used a couple of hours away and brought it home.
The bike has some upgrades (carbon fiber stem, dropper seat post, Cloud 9 seat, rear shock replaced with an air shock), but also an issue or two - mainly in missing a kickstand and some derailleur/shift issues.
I've got a list of Qs, some very newbie. First ebikes, but have had motorcycles and wrenched on them + cars for a while..and looking to get everything sorted, etc.
1. The motor is a Bafang 1000W M615 - which corresponds to pretty much no one discussions/comments anywhere. Is this an earlier version of the 'BBSHD' motor? What are the differences vs M620 and 'Ultras'? Manual with parts diagram anywhere?
2. Is there a manual online anywhere for the bike and components (nothing on Eunorau site I've seen)? Looking for deraileur, shifter, fork, motor etc. manuals/whatever can be found. (It has Sunrace shifter and derailleur).
3. Seems like the Bolton Lancer is the same bike, while the Juggernaut FS uses at least the frame - are there other relables of this bike? (Might help me for parts availability in the US..)
4. Is there a way to buy a compatible kickstand for the bike?
5. Is there a clean way to add a skid plate to protect the wiring at the front/bottom of the motor?
6. Are there any options for a rear light that can key into the brakes? (Failing that, recommendation for a rechargeable post-mount light is welcome).
7. Anywhere shipping from the US to get the fenders and rack from?
8. The derailleur hanger was broken and the PO had a nice-looking CNC replacement fit, which may or may not be the source of current shifting blues - I need to get a bike repair stand to really spend more time fiddling with it, but can't get into the lowest gear after first pass adjustments (which is better than it was before, but not 'done') and the handlebar shift lever doesn't seem to remotely read correctly, so:
9.a. Is there somewhere to get a replacement original derailleur bracket? I see biktrix has numerous, but unsure if any are compatible..preferably shipping from the US.
9.b. Any manuals to the derailleur and shifter appreciated.
10. I have the second battery but not the mounting bracket - how/where can I get the bracket and wiring, and is there a recommended charger that can fast charge and limit to 80%/set percentage to charge to? Both batteries are working fine and not positive I want to typically mount the second one yet, still trying to get a feel for actual range once I get the shifting sorted..but considering my wife now has a 500W Bosch bike and leaves it on ECO mode - I may need to![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
11. Last one - when I go into display settings, there is a mode for battery information (a screen or two) - it seems to not read any values. Should the info come up instantly, does it take some time, or anything I should check out on the wiring?
Thanks in advance!
