New "used" Kenevo Comp '18 from Portugal

[nmb1970]

Hi guys! Just got this used kenevo as my first emtb after years of a Banshee Spitfire.

First q. Do I have a 1.2 85nm torque or a 1.2E with a 70nm torque? Serial number of motor is E22243-...

Yes, that looks like a Kenevo comp, so it would have the 1.2 motor.

but do you think 1.2 or 1.2E?

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

And the slightly smaller 460wh battery.

If it helps, you wouldn't want the 1.2 motor, you would want the 1.2E motor. Though your serial number doesn't make sense, it should start with C911.

The original 1.2 had over heating problems. The 1.2 was down tuned to stop this, where the 1.3 had significant component changes to rectify the problem. Both are also installed in the frame with heat paste to help transfer heat into the aluminium frame.

thats my concern. 1.3 is C972. 1.2 should be C911. mine is sn "E22243-100180212-2-0997", hw 22244100070218000420 firmware 5.4.0

I wonder if some came out with the old serial numbers but were software de-tuned ?

If you're concerned, just don't ride in Turbo !

Ultimately, if it's going to break, it will break. I think I'd just ride it and enjoy it and not worry - we all spend too much time worrying about things we can do nothing about rather than just enjoying what we have.

I'd be more concerned about the factory pedals !!!

I use Shimano M530...

Ok. Just found and don't like it. 50nm torque only...

 

[Zimmerframe]

Well found !

It's good isn't it ? Less is more ! People pay a lot of money now for a Levo SL because it only has 35nm .. or an Orbea rise, because the EP8 is de-tuned to 60nm ... you're right in the sweet spot of power and range !

85nm 1.2 - overheats .. broken ..

50m 1.2e - doesn't overheat ... not broken .. ???

a very good way of thinking. and for a first ebike, I could not be happier.
