I'm looking to build a lightweight, long travel EMTB using the bafang m820. This all started when I was looking to do a mondraker dune frame build but can't get the frame in Australia then got into the rabbit hole of the m820 motor and like the idea
Ideally looking for minimum of 160mm rear travel and put a 170-180mm fork on there. Full winch and plummet machine.
Other criteria I'm looking to fill
- non-headset cable routing
- mullet compatible
- 360wh or above battery capacity
- compatible with a range extender or easily removable/swappable battery (not a deal breaker but preferred)
- UDH compatible
Was looking at the LCE930, CEF50 and E67 frames but none seem to fit the bill. I know you can ask for the CEF50 to come with non headset cable routing but none have the travel capabilities I'm looking for
Also another thing I've found and haven't found a direct answer for, other than having to get the matching battery, what are the differences between the 36v, 43v and 48v motors?
