hmm, indeed not the same.. could be the same internals, in a different case. That's some serious investment in tooling. I've been thinking about the "light weight" enduro rather than going bigger more powerful. I think this is where we'll end up long-term. I am very keen to see A Forestal in the...
I don't think so. I think it is more like the M800. Light weight, less assist (60Nm) Component
But that doesn't look right either.. Their website does say proprietary design, so perhaps it's the M800 base with a few mods..

For the BBS02 units it is 'ideal' to have a straight downtube, and a 68mm or 73mm threaded Bottom bracket. It's much more complicated with Pressfit and not worth stuffing with IMO. The TSDZ range of motors are torque sensing, and worked well on the road, it should be ok for the bush. it is...
nice work :-) I really liked the LMX until they made the Surron.. TBH the Surron is an amazing machine for the dollars. I "almost" bought one.. but instead paid the same money for a 2020 Yamaha WR250R. it goes further, faster, more reliably.. but weighs 2.5 times as much.. You win some you...
Hahaha. Ok it wasn't super pretty. But it was awesome. 200mm suspension travel.
*** Edit *** I prefer to say it looked "unique"
Sometimes you just build and ride what you can get. My nearest city (Cairns) has only 154k people so not a lot of choices.
No the M500 is EN15194 compliant, which is 250W nominal and PAS only to 25km/h. All brands, Shimano, Brose, Bosch all peak higher than 250W because of the way the standards specify how to.measure the nominal power. Basically because you're climbing up a hill much slower than 25km/h you're...
I prefer not to risk it. Although, so long as you're not riding like a maniac between traffic doing 50km/h without pedalling, chances are you'll be overlooked.
I think the 25km/h limit is absurd. I sit between 30 and 40km/h on my roadie (non 'E). Like others have mentioned 40km/h would be...
I have had both the M500 and M600 apart on the bench next to each other, and they are nearly identical. The M600 has a different # teeth on the primary drive to the metal reduction gear (M500 is metal to plastic), but otherwise the gears and bearings are all the same internally from what I...
A Bafang Forum would open the doors to some more DIY bolt-ons and DIY OEM build threads.
BTW Rob, that paint job in the video looks fantastic. Nice work.

The Top half is the Cairns UCI World Cup DH Track. Track inspection before the Enduro race event.
The camera is the DJI Osmo Action - doesn't have as much of a wide angle lens as the GoPro's. This is chest mounted, but chin mounted is a better angle in my opinion.

Hello there from Sunny Queensland Australia. My name is Andy aka. Animalector or TheAnimalector on Youtube.
I live most of the way towards the top of Australia (Cairns) where it's been around 35deg C for the past couple of months. Only now are we starting to get some wet weather action to...
