That's clear.
I prefer also the mullet. But only if i can keep reasonable geometry, no way for less than 63.5° for fork angles. On the CEF50 for exemple i can't use longer shock to compensate lower rear wheel and i stay in 29°.
Check with digital level your fork angle, if less than 63.5 mount...
I have ordered one also last week. For the moment jim haven't said something about increased delay than 40 days ? but i prefer that they take time to provide stronger arms than sent one who brake during use (i'm 100 kg and i ride on high mountain breaking tracks :oops:).
Congratulations mikelikesbikes for your job and your feedback. To be honest i'm afraid to doing myself the batterie and taking account of cost of custom made, i prefer purchase it to reconized company.

That said, i'm agree with you, DIY bike is mostly not a good economic choice...
Hi. How many weight are your tires ? your battery ? the size of your frame ? i'm also surprised of the less than 20 kg. with spring shock (more than 0.5 kg) and 38 fork (more than 2 kg).
i ride in the same tracks than you. 30km with 2000 D+ and D- = high mountain).
i like the 2 motors. I ride on the same tracks, But not in the same way. I take the M820 when i ride with friends whithout assist and we klimbs +- 1500 D+, mostly climb slowly on DFCI at +- 7km/h. To downhill...
