Did you do the painting yourself? If so how was it? What made you go with the specialized theme?
I did the painting myself. I used acryl paint and 2k klarlack.
I was looking for stickers quickly and these were the right size for this frame. I'm not a fan of specialized but it looks good for me

Able to get first ride in this weekend?
excited to hear your opinions about the frame and motor!I rode about 20 km. Yes, M560 is loud, but after these 20 km it became quieter. I think that after 200 km it will be even quieter, as it was in my m620. Only 2% of the battery was consumed (mixed mode econ/sport/boost).Able to get first ride in this weekend?
About frame - I'm not happy with the wires running through headset. It depends on how the links are set up and when turning the handlebar left the derailleur shifts by itself and when turning right my dropper extends
I need to improve the routing of these lines. Dengfu recommends that the speed sensor should be installed close to the disc to which the magnet is to be attached but I did it a different way. The battery moves and rattles, which can be heard when driving over small bumps - I stuck a piece of foam to the cover and there is silence.- Thread starter

Yeah, I'm planning on asking Dengfu to make holes in the frame near headset and use those instead of the headset cable routing. I guess you can get the headset cables to work if you are able to get everything perfectly in place but I wonder how long they will stay in place. Headset cable routing is terrible idea.. I hope they won't force it in mtbs in the future.I rode about 20 km. Yes, M560 is loud, but after these 20 km it became quieter.

What's the difference between your magnet placement and dengfus? What made you do it that way instead of the recommended way? You found some pros/cons with these different placements?
Is the battery with the mounting points moving or the battery only? Or was it the battery cover which rattles against the battery? Definitely seems like something isn't like it's suppose to be. Why would they intentionally desing it so. Or maybe this is one of the problems with these early frames where they test things out.
Have you contacted Dengfu about the battery rattle problem? Really want to know what they say about it.
What's your setup with the spider, chainring and cranks? Did you get those with the motor or purchased separately? Is the chainline perfect with that spider? Haven't found information about what spider I need to get so it works with the frame. I'm hoping to find 160mm cranks for myself.
See photo. I don't have magnet and sensor that would fit such a solution.
I agree with this.
I think that's it.
I contacted Ben about hedset routing problem and I got the answer that they have improved this and he will send me new designed headset. This is terrible, look what condition are the cables in after 20 km...
A get those with the motor. 38T and 11-50T rear. There's no ideal chainline, but nothing bad happens under heavy load.
Did you find scheme of the battery?

Did you ask about the battery rattling?
No, sticking foam to cover eliminates rattling. I don't think there's any other way to do it after looking at the construction of the lock.

Maybe so but I think it's good idea to inform dengfu about it so future customers wont have to do diy fix and whine to dengfu. Dengfu can fix the problems themselfs

It would be better if they brought back the normal wiring ports in the frame. So many movements and all for nothing.

I disagree with you ; if cable routing is done correctly, it's both aesthetically pleasing and functional. There are just constraints if one wants to service the bearings.
i disagree with you. With battery it have too lower space on ebike to allow easily cables/wiring translation, sometime when you fall with MTB the handlebar can make 360° and done too many constraint on cables.

If you have your bike serviced in a workshop, I don't see a problem either.
But I have to service the bike myself, in which case it will always be damaged cables and problems with removing the fork every 50 hours.
Not to mention what patdam described above.

Hi, i want to buy an e82 but is it possible to put 750 or 840w battery on it ? 1000w is too heavy for my use (right now i have an e22 and i m really happy with the range)

I guess it can be done if you know batterys. Personally I think I'm going with LightCarbon LCE971 frame. It has 720Wh battery.

I wish these guys had just released a size L quicker, I ended up going with a LightCarbon mostly due to that. I prefer the look of the E82 but need a bike that fits me.

I've been told by DengFu yesterday, that Large size production will start in July, with first frames available at the end of the month.
Haven't asked about frame/motor/battery combos yet, nor if a frame cable routing will be available (I'd prefer this way).
By the way, not sure at the moment if I'll go with this heavy enduro oriented build (180F/170R travel) or a LightCarbon with M820...This will be my first ebike and I already have carbon wheelset for a trail oriented build, but trails around me are a bit nasty and full of volcanic rocks, where I sometime struggle with my 130mm acoustic bike.
Other than that, I have no idea about how strong is a M820 on a 18/19kg bike...
