    What's the consensus best DIY frame right now?

    It doesn't seem there are many longer travel bikes with the bafang M series motors and a BB that isn't too low.

    What's the consensus best DIY frame right now?

    Not sure of the model number on this one, but looks like a good alternative to the E10 and uses the same size shock (albeit giving 10mm more travel on the rear). E-Bike Frame Full Suspension Carbon Electric Frames for Bafang M510/M600 Motor | eBay (seems a little pricy though and I'm not...

    Bafang M500 and M600 motors

    Yes, I've been running this for months as the torque sensor works better for me in this mode. You need to have the correct 36V firmware for your version of controller though for it to flash correctly. Your battery level indicator won't be much use as it will stay very high all the time, so don't...

    Bafang m510

    Yeah the two versions of the controller are a proper pain in the proverbial and now with a focus on 52V batteries it's getting even worse. I can build a 52V battery, but I've got 2x48V ones already and why the hell can't they get it right. I've had 2 x M510s and they had exactly the same...

    Ah fair enough I thought it was about the git repo with the firmware :-)

    Bafang m510

    I'm running the original firmware, not the latest from GitHub, so might be worth the risk of updating again, although I'm a bit wary after trashing my previous M510 controller, and then somehow killing the M600 controller when it all went wrong last time. On reflection, I'll probably wait to...

    Bafang m510

    I wonder if it's because I run shorter cranks (150mm)? My cadence is super consistent, so I'm pretty sure it's not that. I've not got a lot of options till the replacement M600 controller turns up, but although I love the fact that the M510 is so much lighter and seems more efficient, I'm...

    Bafang m510

    Is there an optimum delay to have between power on and putting feet on pedals? I'm finding although it no longer cuts out completely, it does still occasionally drop out to 50% of the assistance. Almost like the dynamic range of the of the torque sensor is not very granular. I'm not totally...

    Wow, that really seemed to work, crazy. Good work guys! No drop outs in the commute this morning:-)

    Dengfu E10 - The CHEEB V1.0 - Discussion

    Yet another Bafang innovation then, I think there are 2 types of Bosch lockring but not sure how different they are. I've not seen a specific tool for Bafang other than the one I've got for then older silver lockring.

    Bafang m510

    From @c_pardo13 : i have tested different firmwares in a m600 motor, and m500 controller in m600 motor, and sometimes, after flashing, the hmi dont turn on, but turn on with the best tool . i have resolving manually introducing the serial number at the best program and reflashing with a original...

    Bafang m510

    It's very odd behaviour, I find that I'm riding mostly in 3 (out of 5 levels) as I just can't get the cadence/pressure right for 1 and 2. Even on level 3, it seems worse immediately after starting the bike up, almost like it's buffering the signal somehow, or maybe I'm subconsciously altering my...

    Dengfu E10 - The CHEEB V1.0 - Discussion

    Anyone fitted one of these, is it the same tool as a BOSCH mid-drive? The Bosch one seems to look right but I'd rather confirm that someone has used it before ordering. I'm using the old silver lockring from the M600 at the moment which works with the tool I already have, but I'd rather use the...

    Cheeb issues :-(

    Hmm, yeah it should affect usage with the BESST tool too so you are probably right. Nevertheless for me it's still worth doing if you ride in wet conditions. Not had an issue in 1800 miles with water on that part of the bike. The M600 motor itself however did get some water inside it (or a lot...

    Cheeb issues :-(

    The two smaller red wires were connected to the gold POGO pins, cut each wire and then take the ends from the BMS and tie them together (solder and heatshrink). The battery will be always ON, but will not suffer as much with water making the switch useless. There are 4 screws on the outer case...

    Cheeb issues :-(

    Regarding the suggestion by @Hagbard , if you've got a spare E-Bus cable (from motor to HMI), you could check the cable. My issue which killed two controllers hasn't been diagnosed yet, but BESST could talk to display and motor individually or both together, but the motor and the display...

    Cheeb issues :-(

    If the ignition circuit (battery on/off switch) is cycling on and off due to the usual water ingress, it could be oscillating fast enough between 0 and 54 and the voltage detection circuit wouldn't follow it fast enough to see either 54 or 0v, but it might show something in between. You could...
