I had a problem with my brakes and found that the gap between the top of the motor and the frame had squashed the hose, sounds like you need to pull the motor out and check.

The Bafang motor has narrower mounting lugs, I made them using 3mm aluminium plates, I would say you need make them suit your frame but it’s pretty easy to nut out.

See the attached photo a Bafang M500 ghosted over a Shimano E8000. Also a photo of the bike I installed into that is designed for Shimano

I run a Bafang M510 in a Shimano frame using adapters, the M510 is smaller than the Shimano E8000 so it wasn’t to hard to retro fit. 36V you should be able to use the same battery.

It’s likely to be bearing failure due water ingress not the gear. I suggest you should strip the motor down to avoid bigger problems with corrosion. The bearings should be available from a local bearing shop. You tube if you have the skills to do it yourself as it’s not diffcult.

Have you a) Checked you have voltage at the motor b) Connect the display you have mounted on the handle bars directly the cable going to the motor, hold the start switch under the the up / down toggles for a few seconds as it takes a while to start up.

I run 34T good for climbing

Agreed the batteries seem heavy, maybe there some motor controller smarts in the battery.

Heavy old batteriies? I understood that all manufacturers still the same cells 18650 or 21700? Both are 3.8 - 3.9 g/Wh Are there new cells that are better than this?

I don’t think you can get any more travel than 150 as the rocker arm hits the frame at top of the travel and the seat Stay bridge hits at the bottom.

I have been thinking of building a intergraded battery in the frame as I wrap the batteries I build in carbon anyway, it means you can reduce weight, it’s stronger and the down tube is sleek. Obviously the down side if you have a battery or bms problem you have to cut the frame, but I have had...

I have a Light Carbon LCE 930, I recommend this frame and Bafang M820 motor Thread 'M820 Bafang - LIGHTCARBON LCE930 Frame (lightweight)' M820 Bafang - LIGHTCARBON LCE930 Frame (lightweight)

180 Fox 38 Factory on mine, turns it into a decent enduro bike.👌

I would say lineair and needs a progressive spring. I’m running a DVO coil shock and works fine for me.

I just ordered 2 spares for mine, I’ve had some hits but it hasn’t broken yet.

I have a Bafang M510 and a M820 motor, I used a speed fun dongle for a year or so and had no problems. I discovered that you can change the factory setting to 60km.

I have large frame and use a 150 reverb, it works for me, my preference is going downhill with the seat low as possible. 170 might be on the long side but it depends on your leg length and preference

Rob is right about the dropper post is too long, unfortunately the insertion length is limited. looking forward to the test ride and review.
