    What's the consensus best DIY frame right now?

    So why not release the firmware to a few of those who have also done a lot of the heavy lifting of developing this motor to test to see if genuinely you have raised the bar ? Until that happens we can only think that perhaps you actually haven’t and your version is no different than some of the...

    What's the consensus best DIY frame right now?

    VMG Chris, aren’t you doing yourself a disservice by not releasing your version of the M510’s firmware ? If the only experience of the engine here in Euro land is with the standard engine and that’s not got a great reputation, then you aren’t going to sell many bikes over here regardless of your...

    Broken BAFANG display mount

    If you go over to the DIY section, one of the threads has a 3D printer file for replacing the rear of the screen / bar mount. I think what happens is your knee knocks the display downwards and then as the bar rotates, it gets guillotined off by the top tube.

    Help with battery fault finding.

    You will need to “load “ the battery some how whilst testing the cell groups voltage, there’s one or more groups that has a low capacity compared to the others. You could try measuring the groups after discharging the battery as fully as you can but I would suspect that if say three cells are...

    Bafang M500 and M600 motors

    Casainho, there are a number of VESC boards available ( I think the one you are using is for higher voltages and more current than needed ), are there any small VESC Boards of lower amp specs enough to shoe horn into the void left by taking out the Bafang controller ? Edit: A quick look on the...

    RIDERS WANTED.

    So no factual evidence then ? Lets put the facts together, this is a UK company with UK directors that could be charged with all sorts of crimes if they indeed did sell knowingly a faulty product that could injure people. In my view that just isn't going to happen.

    RIDERS WANTED.

    You really should be careful, liabelous statements from anonymous posters on the internet are now considered a crime in UK law. Factual evidence supporting your statement is desperately now needed or retract would be my advice as Big Brother will know exactly which computer your missive was...

    Pole Voima Is Incredible

    Ooops, yes Yes this is what I'm interested in. Bear in mind that distribution will change as the bike climbs on steeper and steeper terrain. Agreed It would be interesting to take a poll on who actually climbs mostly out of the saddle or as I think most do, climb in the saddle using the...

    RIDERS WANTED.

    You need to back that up with facts rather than the heresay and tripe that a Computer Warrior would consider as fact ? Not sure you could. From my experience some of the off beat non branded components can be very good, equally I have found some of the branded stuff shockingly bad.

    Pole Voima Is Incredible

    Rob you are quite a tall guy, a steep seat stay angle such as the Voima in an XLarge frame will equate to a slacker angle in say Medium frames due to the relationship of length of the stay and seatpost combined together with the longer than usual chainstay (a long chainstay length will slacken...

    Can you build your own battery for the E10 ?

    Basic electrical maths is V x A = W. So in our case 48V x 30A = 1440W's which as the M600 pulls about 1000W's, then 30A's would be in excess of the motor draw. l'll let you calculate what the actual motor draw is but in electrical engineering you tend to over specify things like the BMS to...

    Bafang m510

    Guys it’s very easy to fit a magnetic switch onto the brake lever such as a XT Shimano or SRAM, simply use bumper double sided tape to position the magnet on the top of the lever and cable tie the switch to the brake unit. But why bother, I’ve never needed them ...

    Dengfu E22 Frame Thread

    Don't go there with the Rosenberger connectors, incredibly expensive for what they are, huge in size, have far too many nooks and crannies for mud and dust to accumulate in and the biggest pain is they are magnetic. I have a working workshop and as fast as I clear the connector from metal...

    What's the consensus best DIY frame right now?

    So all the latest crop of lightweights such as the Trek EXe ( which is labelled as XC and trail ) are out of touch ? In my view there is no such thing as modern geometry in bike design, it’s all been tried years and years ago in one format or another. What we are seeing with the likes of the...

    Bafang m510

    The Bafang engines will run with a direct connection of power to the motor ( that is at the moment )unlike say Fazua which requires a CAN protocol between battery and motor to run.. What you don't get is all the niceties of predicted range left etc. My DPC241 display will still display battery...

    A new model of EMTB frame with Bosch / Shimano / Yamaha motor?

    I'm not sure that is the case, from memory I think you can simply put an extension cable between the battery cradle and wherever you want on the frame. Focus EBikes take it to the extreme in the photo below ( it works really well as you can fit the booster battery cable in here as well ) but my...

    A new model of EMTB frame with Bosch / Shimano / Yamaha motor?

    Jim, try to position the charger socket higher up, here in the UK that position would be totally enveloped in mud and water for about 5 months of the year.

    What's the consensus best DIY frame right now?

    Sorry I don't call 63.5 degrees a modern frame, that after all was old school downhill frames of the noughties. One needs to be careful how frames are labelled as its horses for courses as far as I'm concerned. If you want, the E10 is a modern frame designed for its purpose, that of trail / XC...
