You recon you could put one in a kenevo?

I have a '21 SC Bullit, with an EP8 that is no longer functional (E010 error). Seems like shimano has a massive quality problem, as I'm far from the only one with a drive unit failure due to a faulty torque sensor. Anyway, the motor died and Shimano can't replace it until November which is ridiculous. Searching for other solutions and I came across this thread. I can't send Private Messages yet (too new to the forum). But I'm very interested in your kit.

Actually there are some newer models that have been announced: M510 (weak, but light), M560 and M610. Never seen them in the wild yet. They discuss this in various Facebook Groups:
- Bafang M500, M510, M600, and M820 Users Group | Facebook
- Dengfu Frame Ebike Owner's Group | Facebook

Depends on the exact model? If you seriously consider a conversion sent me a private message.

@futurestan I sent you a message. Your frame is lit! Added to my list of considerable eMTB frames with Shimano motors. Should be possible! The wide open intube-battery and big frame-triangle are excellent if you wanna put some extra cells in. However it's carbon and my kit requires you to cut away a small part, like here:

 

[Tomblarom]

By now I only 3D-printed the connecting parts (that hold Skidplate and Cover) and want to move on to something like "Resin Casting" before making this publicly for sale. However I'm open about inquiries from people that are willing to thinker and use 3D-printed parts. They work as well, as casted ones. It's just a cosmetic thing.

I'm down to tinker! And I'd love to fit some extra cells.

Hi, are you shipping soon? Could you please send me an estimate of the price, with shipping to Sydney Australia.
Thanks

Similar, but had to move it along the seat tube direction by around 14mm. See:

Hi, nice CAD drawing. where to find such a technical drawing - I am looking for the mounting bolts pattern.

 

[arnix_ok]

It's also possible to install on motor alike BBS

Hi, good job. I am looking for a diagram of the mounting bolts, how did you make it.

 

[mancete]

Hí All

l´m working in a similar proyect, to adapt a shimano e8000 frame ( mondraker crusher) to a Bosch gen 4 motor.

I have jet resolve the battery and cables; but i need a more accurate 3d models of the engine.

Someone could sent me it ??

Best regard.

 

[Edmu]

Working on it. Not yet, but yes my intention is to make the existing batteries work with Bafang. However you won't reach as much range and power as you'd with a custom build pack.

Still working on it?
Well there be matching internal batteries for Orbea Rise frames?

You can contribute if you want. Send some pictures of the battery. Labels, Ports, Topview. If we are able to find the Chinese supplier, we could build a pack off an empty case. In many cases the manufacturer is Darfon.

 

[NuckaMan]

I am a Orbea Rise owner. While the EP8 motor currently still works and has been great thus far, I am glad you are offering a service like this. While this is my 1st ebike, but based my local friends experiences, who went electric before me, Shimano motor reliability has been terrible and would hate to throw away a perfectly good bike in the event my motor eventually expires. Hope to see you project evolve even further.

 

[PeGaZ]

Amazing idea - it would be great if there would be an alternative solution to get rid of Shimano known for its complete lack of serviceability and software errors (E010). I’d feel so much safer owning a bike and knowing that I can repair it rather then replacing the whole drive unit due to stupid sprocket or sensor! If motor goes bad than the whole expensive bike becomes useless too… I can understand that the rest of accessories would need replacing to Bafang but if we’d be able to preserve original Shimano battery that would be a Holly Grail!

 

[Tomblarom]

That's what I'd really would want to do one day. Can't look into that currently, since I'm occupied finishing other projects.. Yamaha is also on my bucket-list of frames that I'd like to offer kits for..

I have a Whyte coniston with an e5000 Shimano motor, would really like something like this for that setup, anything like that in the pipeline?

 

[Tomblarom]

anything like that in the pipeline?

I have no CAD-Model of E5000 and can't verify compatibility. If you can confirm, that E6100/E7000/E8000/EP8-motors fit into E5000-frames, I can sell you a kit and we give it a try. Mostlikely my designed covers won't fit rightaway, but we can give it a try! I sent you a message, in case you want to discuss it.

 

[Tomblarom]

Here is recent conversion, a buyer did with my kit. At the time he made the pictures, the bike was not finished. That's why there are parts missing and zip-ties Here is the his Facebook-post: Andrea Feliciano from Custom Electric Bike

 

[bart594]

Hi, do you have some adapter kits ?

 

[Tomblarom]

Hi, do you have some adapter kits ?

Sorry but as a newbie i can't. Can you PM me ? Im interested in kit for mounting M510 in shimano mount

 

[virusvrskentman]

Hey I'm in UK and need to buy one of these adapters , money waiting to go , Shimano ep8 Vitus bike looking to stick m600 or 510 in please , newbie so can't pm yet feel free to email many many thanks and fingers crossed U have some plates for sale !!

 

[bart594]

Hi,
tested on this Focus Jam2 carbon frame
Installation is straightforward and everything fits nicely.
For someone who want to use shimano frame this is very good solution.

 

[Mart-e]

As an owner of 2020 Norco VLT’s both shimano steps e 8000…. I’ve enquired about upgrading with the ep8 s…. or latest and the informations returned to say….

Due to 2020 Norco’s frame moulding design holds limited cavity space….. the ep8s ports wiring the connecter plugs in horizontally…. whereas with the now steps 8000 the plug ports cables connect in vertically….

It would be great to upgrade with the bangfang as the bikes frames themselves hold true….
any advice here will be forwarded thinking!

thank you….
