Ya, that might have to be my plan. I really, really would like to get the formal specs because anything I order will probably be 6-9 months out, and I'd like to work on the frame in the meanwhile....
No, but I have heard about the reliability of bolt-on applications for actual mountain biking, which is why I want to do a true mid-mount design. I just can't find any CAD or spec files for the various mounts.
Nice!
So did you take the Bosch motor out of the Cube, and weld brackets onto the Bafang to make it fit? How did you know what the fitments needed to be? Just waited till the parts came in and measured?
So I'm looking to weld up my own steel (long travel, high pivot with an idler pulley) ebike frame. Initially, I was just going to use the TSDZ2 or something similar, but now I'm curious about using a true mid-mount motor, like the bafang m500.
Looking around at what major manufacturers are up...
