M820 Bafang - LIGHTCARBON LCE930 Frame (lightweight)

[Mikael1]

Hey @Rob Rides EMTB are we ever going to get to see the full review video of this frame? You teased us with the build and we want to see the review!

I bet something went wrong with the frame. Judging from my own experience, the qc is poor and the frame probably snapped in use.

Lightcarbon LCE930 review

Hi guys, I have been reading this forum and have been inspired by builds fron Sandnap and Denver among others. Now I just ordered and LCE930 with motorkit from LightCarbon. Will be posting pictures and notes as I build. The goal is a very functional build, not a luxorious or high end build. I...

Actually the LCE930 frame quality is very high. Carbon finish + aluminium inserts for bearings and motor mountings makes this frame really well made. At my weight about 100kg geared up, frame have survived over 2000km of hard Enduro trails no problem.

The only problem with mainstream review might be that it will be very uncomfortable for main ebike manufacturers.
Let me say, we have many reviews of SL bikes in price range from 7k to 12k EUR and suddenly there cheap, good DIY option comes up in around 3k to 4k EUR. So for someone with bit of a tools an knowledge there is no piont of getting a bike in the shop.

Rob has done a lot for the sport and the acceptance of DIY which is fantastic. However, I agree that at some point when YT channels get big enough they tend to go where the money is. It is nice that we see occasional representation from the big channels like EMBN visiting the Bafang factory earlier this year and Rob doing an occasional DIY build. Without support from the manufactures it's so expensive to do proper product, build, and ride reviews. I would love to do this if I could convince LC, Dengfu, Markhor, SZZS, etc.. to send me their best offerings. I would be willing to put in the time and extra money for the builds. A shootout would be awesome too, although I would have to solicit the help of a more advanced rider for the big hits.
