Okay, I understand a little better now, and you do have some experience in the world of cycling, so your personal reasoning seems sound to me. It's true that if having a throttle is essential for you, the M560 seems like a better choice. And regarding the battery for your usage, I think you're...

I disagree with you ; if cable routing is done correctly, it's both aesthetically pleasing and functional. There are just constraints if one wants to service the bearings.

Just because a bike has 170mm of travel doesn't mean it's better. You need to ask yourself, what kind of riding will you be using this bike for? Do you already have an E-bike? Yes? And do you feel limited by the travel you have? A larger capacity battery isn't necessarily better either. For me...

This can be very useful in case of theft of your bike. Of the four necessary screws 2 are to hold the support and the other two are to fix the airtag. So it will be very easy to change the battery when it is used up. Of course, my support is purple in color, however with a black support...

And we move on to the integrated voltage converter in the frame. I imagine I'm not the only one in this situation and with good reason, when it comes to connecting lights to an e-bike it can quickly become a headache. 12 volts, 6 volts, 48 volts, 6W, 30W, well... I have a Bafang M510 with...

It would have been wise to make a small hole at the bottom of the rear triangle to have a drain in case water entered inside. I don't know if LightCarbon didn't do it for reasons of rigidity and strength or simply because they may not have thought about it. The best compromise would have been...

Previously, I was asked why I hadn't finished assembling my bike yet. I replied that the next "post" would be there to answer this more precisely. And that's what I'm going to do, starting with the headset. As you can see below, the photo shows the headset installed in the frame. Everything...

I thank you for these details; now it is much clearer.

Thank you very much for your interest in the construction of my bike; it gives me the feeling that I'm not doing this in vain. Indeed, it can be confusing; "Lightcarbon" should indicate that 1 1/2" is the top part of the head tube, and 1 1/8" is for the bottom part. So, for this frame, you...

Regarding the head tube, the frame is designed for a mountain bike fork with a tapered tube (I've attached a photo below for better understanding). Mountain bike fork tubes are always conical to increase rigidity at the "T." If you want to use a straight tube fork, you'll need an adaptation...

For the continuation, as I mentioned earlier, we will talk about the wheels from LightCarbon. In choosing the wheel type, I hesitated between two models for a long time... The model E810-AD938-EN-Race and the model E810-MC937-EN-Race. Both models share the same type of spokes (Sapim Race)...

I'm willing to believe you regarding the M560 being noisier than an M620. However, when it comes to power, that seems implausible. The M620 has a nominal power of 1000W with a boost up to 1500W, while the M560 has a nominal power of 500W with a boost around 850W. It's not possible for the M560...

Oui "la petite gouille Leman" :ROFLMAO:... ça fait plaisir de voir que les francophones sont présent sur ce Forum :D. J'ai beaucoup hésité avec le M560. Cependant, ce qui m'a fait partir sur le M510 est le bruit trop élevé du M560. À en juger par les vidéos sur Internet, je dirais qu'il est un...

Yes, that's exactly what I described in my previous post. I might not have fully understood your initial message, but indeed, this is a basic paint, almost like a primer. As you mentioned, applying varnish over the paint will enhance its durability.

The frame can be ordered directly from the manufacturer. Indeed, there are frames compatible with Shimano P8 engines, link to the website : https://www.lightcarbon.com As for shipping to Switzerland, I personally used UPS. The delivery took 20 days. I didn't encounter any specific issues with...

Although I have the skills and necessary tools to assemble a battery, I chose not to do so for this bike. The simple reason is that I found a battery with Samsung cells for 311 CHF (including all taxes). That's why I didn't assemble it myself, as the cost would have been almost the same. I'll...

Let's start with the centerpiece, the frame ! Lightcarbon advertises a weight of 3750g +/- 45g for the "Size M." This specification is well-respected, and my frame weighs approximately 3669g with the base paint (matte black), including some basic components (see photos). Here, "Lightcarbon"...

It's time for me to assemble my new bike. I will gradually provide assembly updates with my various critiques of the equipment I've chosen. In a few lines, here's what I can tell you. I rode a "Frey AM1000 EX" and enjoyed using it for 2 years and 2500 km. However, its noisy motor, unnecessary...

The Frame is compatible with Bafang motor : M500(first version 250w), M510 (Last version 250w), M560(Light version 3.3kg 500w) and M600(version 500w 3.9kg)

A brief introduction : I am a highly self-taught individual passionate about everything around me, particularly mechanics, electronics, and new technologies. Currently owning a "Frey AM1000 EX" electric bike, I've decided to switch to a "Lightcarbon LCE971" frame assembled by myself...
