While it is possible to configure an e assist system that will do as you suggest it will end up being on the even heavier end of the e assist spectrum due to the necessary large stator type motor and a battery big enough to satisfy the watt output it will demand doing so. Your off the bike shop...
"With the primary use of the motor being to offset the weight of cargo needed for long remote trips,"
So you want to offset the cargo weight by adding more weight that is complex and needs to be re-charged in remote situations? Not to be harsh but you would be better served starting out with as...
I got my batteries from [email protected].. The 840wh battery that came with my E22 Dengfu was a disappointment from the get go I thought . The 52v 15ah/780wh DT battery with a 40A BMS has been working much better. The switch from 18650 cells to 21700 cells helps wake up a M620. Price is...
The first 4.0 tire specific rims were made by Ray Melino for use in the desert of Mexico. Early Alaska riders saw them and adopted them for snow use. Back then there were even efforts made that combined two rims. The one below went from Anchorage to Nome during an Iditibike 20yrs ago in fact...
@Neeko DeVinchi "with the exception of sandy terrain/beaches"
Where I live there are many miles of open beach. Along with logging roads and native single track I tend to ride alot of it. Just got to time the tide and let it rip up the dark sand. Out into the headwind and back with the tail...
Hey Chris,
I got ahold of the LightCarbon guy that posts on here to see if they would have any interest in doing a 140mm frame that would spec the upcoming 820 Bafang.to create a mid weight class with an interchangeable 350wh/600wh battery. So wondering if maybe that concept was on your radar...
This has been a long time in the shed as I was really close to getting it going 2/'20 and then all hell broke loose. In the meantime I was mainly riding my eMTB and then fall '21 I got an E22 M620 bike and it got put further back on the to do list. That bike is down for awhile due to a...
No thanks, bike is plenty powerful enough already and am quite happy with how it pedals/performs after some easy to accomplish adjustments with a $20 cable and free software.
Just be aware that if your M620 Ultra controller goes bad then it is not a 5 minute fix. More than likely will require a shipping fee/time expenditure to send it to a qualified service facility as the new controller has to be calibrated to the motor. Best to do this ASAP as issue is diagnosed...
"More importantly if you are using the CANBUS version of the M620 have you or anyone else here succeeded in tweaking the motors torque setting on the CANBUS version."
Didn't notice Neeko addressing this so I will jump in to say a hard no to CANBUS tweaking but it is being worked on. The only...
Unless the M820 will somehow adapt easily to the existing M5/600 frames another mold must be produced which is $$$$. So for the size of the potential market, which from my view is limited to the handy type cheapskate crowd, either will be going out on a financial limb.
But if a new frame mold...
I don't know Neeko that pic illustrates to me that I would probably be hitting the mode button as well when fumbling around for the selectors? Especially when wearing gloves.
I use the 500c and the flat buttons weren't working well for me and I dribbled some super glue on them to make enough of...
This quote from a PinkBike editor nicely voices my concerns about Light class eBikes in general:
This is where there is a temporary problem that cannot be undone by any amount of engineering: you won’t be able to keep up with a full-powered E-bike on lengthy, steep climbs. Ok, so set the assist...
Had to look up Tauranga on the map but it looks like a pretty nice place. As usual I am sure eBikes are well suited to the area and hope your business is thriving. Pic of the Day is always a good way to introduce yourself to the community.
Current carbon fiber builders that you can access are...
