What charging sockets are out there that work well with this frame ? The housing for the one I have from Aliexpresss is little small and I have used a couple washers to make it work. Also, a four pin would be useful to allow an extender battery to use the same port.

The standard bafang chainring, bolts and spider are very heavy (all steel) - a bit strange given the efforts to...
It’s a bit agricultural for now, but holding in very sold. I have used a carbon / plastic plate on the bottom of the battery with tapped screw holes aligning with the frame holes. I am making a 3d printed version to allow a nut to be used instead as I dont trust the plastic threaded tapping
