Also, of course it’d be easy to throw money at this build and buy branded (recognised) stuff. But part of the challenge with this project is finding cheap, but legit, and safe components that the average person (non hardcore MTber) can ride safely and have fun on ?

Anything better bang for buck than this Deore 12 speed ? Had a look but think this might be the best (and in stock)

 

[Gary]

if it's in stock don't dither

 

[Kyokushin]

What engine you will use? Bafang M500?

No I’m going to try the M600 this time

 

[Kyokushin]

M500 seems to be weak - only 12 amps on 48V but M600 is marked as 500W and its not EU compliant.

That's ok, he's in England which isn't in the EU anyway

Good for you

I am curious, what regulations about ebikes are in UK if you want to legitelly ride on bike lanes?

 

[Coolcmsc]

How did you straighten the forks without scratching them? ?

And concerning other parts, is the frame resting on the new seat per chance?

 

[Kyokushin]

Is Bafang M620 (1kW) compatible with M500/M600 frame?

 

[Neeko DeVinchi]

Is Bafang M620 (1kW) compatible with M500/M600 frame?

No. Different chassis.
They take the same cranks however.

 

[murro]

Hey Rob. How long did frame take to arrive this time and did you get any vat or custom duties.

 

[Shjay]

Have you opened the forks to see what the damper etc looks like yet Rob?

Yes 150mm

Not gonna lie they look cheap, we will see how they work…

Have a look at a 10sp microshift groupset. I'm using it on my Eeb so far with no issues

 

[Seqlat]

@Rob Rides EMTB Can you tell what is the weight of the frame in size XL? others wrote here that the weight for size L is 4.5 kg

I've weighed it somewhere (or in the video I did originally) cant remember exactly but have a search around, info is there

actually that's not true.. the cassette bent teeth first ride, so I am using a shimano 10sp cassette, but otherwise the shifter and derailleur have been quite good.

 

[Seqlat]

I also ordered shox DNM 210, But I'm curious if it can fit 220mm with 27.5 wheel.

@Rob Rides EMTB did you get 16ah batteries or the same as in Cheeb v1?

 

[RyeNiel]

[Seqlat]

I am curious how the modified m600S engine, which is mounted in the Elife X and has EU approvals, works​

I've used the Microshift 9 and 10 speed cassettes with BBSHD, M600 and M500 without any problems

Yeah I think it was a one off. Most likely damaged in transit and I didn't realise before install.

 

[ornias]

Watch out there:
UK law was harmonised with the EU before brexit and on the Ebike front hasn't had significant changes.

This means the m600 is still either a L1e-A or L1e-B vehicle (speedbike or speedpedelec), which require registration, insurance etc and are often not allowed on trails.

 

[markvanhaze77]

Any suggestions which Shimano rims I can use on the E10?
