    SZZS specific CEF50-main thread (initial builds and troubleshooting related only)

    Took mine out for it's first ride last night. Everything seems to be working smoothly. The Bafang motor is noisy as hell compared to Brose motor in my 2019 Levo Turbo. Almost to the point of being annoying - but I knew this was going to be the case when I bought it. The upsides are worth it -...

    Thank you! I'm very happy with how it turned out. Love the color. And that makes sense - I went with the 700 battery, 29 inch wheels, etc. My old Specialized Levo Turbo from 2018 weighs about 56 pounds so this should still feel much better on the trails.

    Good grief. FINALLY got everything put together after days of trial and error and frustration. Finally took it our for a spin and am immediately getting ERROR 21. The magnet is installed correctly but it doesn't look like it comes anywhere near close enough for the sensor to pick it up - why did...

    Hmm. Pretty positive I didn't install anything upside down - double checked orientation on everything before installing. I'm using the correct spacer height to ensure that my top cap has at least 2mm to pull on for compression - and I've got that bolt cranked down hard - the system is definitely...

    Did I install the headset correctly? On the top stack, starting from the bottom, I went: bearing into the frame > nylon compresson ring > dust cap > spacers > stem > top cap. On the bottom I went: bearing into the frame > crown race > fork. I ask because my headset included an additional slotted...

    Thanks for all the replies offering to help me troubleshoot my problem. I finally managed to get the display to turn on, but now I'm running into a whole new issue. Whenever the bike is pointed downhill, the headlight icon turns on and the display goes dim. Pointing it back uphill causes the...

    Potential buyers beware. My CEF50 appears to be dead-on-arrival. The blue power button on my frame will turn on, but the motor/display will not. Everything is plugged in correctly/snugly. I bought it through Jean on Alibaba and have reached out to her regarding the issue. I haven't heard back...

    Anyone have any trouble with their electronics not working? I finally got all my cables routed and reinstalled the motor. Made sure all 3 plugs that go into the motor are nice and snug. Power button on frame will light up but motor and display will not power on. Wondering if I got a dud or if I...

    Am I dumb? I removed the motor to make cable routing easier but now can't figure out how everything goes back together. I can see where the 3 cables in the first picture all connect to the motor (one is from the speed sensor, one is from the battery, and one is from the control deck), but I have...
