    No batteries available for my 4 day old Canyon Spectral:On CF8 - considering returning it

    I am really curious as to their motivation behind this, and do all the competitors sell spares. Does Canyon sell other spare batteries and just not this one? Is there a supply chain shortage and they can’t sell “batteries only” hence limiting their sale of complete bikes? Is there an...

    Bafang Go+, is it a new App for all motors ?

    Have you found anyone selling the DP C245 Ver 3? The Aliexpress ads for the C245 which mention Go+ in their ad are not Ver 3 and hence do not support Go+. How do i know this? I bought one.

    Bafang m510

    Agreed - hareware seems quite good. i did at 16 miler yesterday in the Colorado Rockies. I mostly do the uphills in Eco mode because I am also looking to get a good workout- once tired I’ll go to Trail mode. The M510 is very strong - if I have a nice pedaling cadence (85+) its very smooth and...

    Bafang m510

    Is Bafang trying to transition away from Besst towards Go+? Or “does the left hand no know what the right hand is doing”?

    Trying my best to decide on an eMTB

    Assuming any of the bikes would make you happy, if you are going with a local bike shop, i would think the lbs with the best service would win out. if you travel with your bike , as I do , the brand with the most widespread support might win out. Seems like that might give the Trek bike a could...

    Bafang m510

    Bafang has 2 manuals online for the DPC245: one supporting Bluetooth 5.0 and woks with the Go app, and one that supports Bluetooth 5.1 and works with the Go+ app. The later being referred to as Version 3. I can’t find any Bafang displays that are Bluetooth 5.1 !! Anyone with thoughts on that?

    Derestricting Bafang m510

    i just received one of these programming cables - literally today (sep7, 2023). Couldn’t figure out how to use it with DP C245 Ver 2 display, so plugged a more basic display. Was able to switch from 15mph to 37mph (yah 37!!). Of course it comes with no instructions and the videos i could find...

    Bafang m510

    I don’t actually dislike the motor. But i am interested in making some modifications to fix a couple of issues. You have had success with modifications? What did you do and how did you go about doing it? Also is your bike a custom build?

    Bafang m510

    Is it just me, or are other forum members frustrated with the “overall Bafang M510 experience”. I did a custom built last year and the only source of information was this forum. Basically I was getting input from other “pioneers” who, like me, were figuring it out by step by step - by trial and...

    Bafang Go+, is it a new App for all motors ?

    I just sent this to Green Bike: I have an m510 with a FC 1.0 Controller. I am experienced on/off power when pedaling. It was suggested to me that I need to upgrade the controller to the FC 2.0. Will this controller be compatible with the motor and the Torque Sensor? Here is their answer: No...

    Bafang m510

    Now I’m totally frustrated. I have an m510 with FC 1.0 controller. I am experiencing on/off when pedaling. Purchasing an FC 2.0 controller was recommended as the solution . This thread indicates it won’t be compatible with the Torque Sensor. So …. Is the FC 2.0 installation a solution OR NOT????

    Bafang Go+, is it a new App for all motors ?

    Did you change your controller? If so, was the process reasonably smooth? Greenbike has the controller on their website - the “wording” says it’s the controller for “the FC 2.0 motor” - wording is a bit off , so wanting to make sure I am understanding you correctly ….

    Bafang Go+, is it a new App for all motors ?

    Did you ever come up with a solution to the on/off issue? I am experiencing same thing. Also, I upgraded my display to the DP C245.CAN so I could connect via Bluetooth using the Bafang Go app ( not the Go+). It connected fine but doesn’t really seem to do very much. I then installed the Go+...

    BESST tool PRO

    I just downloaded Besst Pro for Mac. It seemed to install ok and I have the Besst Pro icon showing just fine. When I double click it does nothing …. Are you suggesting Python for Mac needs to be installed also ??? That is referenced nowhere in the Bafang Besst Pro manual.

    M510 LCES004

    I just heard back from Anna at [email protected] - they are selling me the longer cable to solve the speed sensor cable length issue. She said they don't have a charging port suitable for this battery. Where did you get you connector? Is there a "proper" partnumber for it? Thanks for the...
