I don't think it does the "set to zero" everytime. I've heard of a few others besides me where it has happened though.
I think I put all the default settings in the tech docs thread if you do get the problem.
Vitus E-Mythique LT Enduro EMTB - Bargain of the year

I think I put all the default settings in the tech docs thread if you do get the problem.
After a way too long brake, another ride with the Mythique LT.
Changed the shock to a X2 due to curiousity (and an interesting offer). Still working on the suspension settings.
The bikes gives the rider a lot of confidence. The geometry is very well chosen.
Brakes are OK, but more stopping power would be nice. -> Switch to Formular Cura4.
I am still not convinced with the microSHIFT Advent X. Can't shift in the lightest gear. -> Switch to (mecanical) SRAM GX-XO1-Mix.
Did some technical up-hills in Boost Mode. Plenty of power for me. No need for more.
I am still very happy with my choice.

They are based in France but also part of the CRC/Signa trouble. I don’t think their website is up to date. Probably the shop will get sold and restart without the suppliers of the “old” shop. At least that’s what happened with Fahrrad.de

My zeron 36 is still not fixed. I contacted bikester and my local bikeshop. Local bikeshop said that they can¨'t do nothing without new piston. And so I need new piston, I try to contact Finnish suntour reseller to get new piston.
My advice is to spend some money and buy a new and better fork. The Rock shox damper is quite good but can't shine if the fork sucks (unbalanced feeling).

I agree 100%. Hands down the best thing you can do for one of these bikes is throw a good fork on it.

Yep, I installed zeb in 170 mm lenght, and I would sell this fork, but its not working well at all at the moment. Bike feels really nice with Zeb. Some ghost shifts are happening, but not too often.

Incase anyone was wondering, the stock wheels are really heavy! I picked up a set of Hunt E-Allmountain wheels which I figured was going to add substantial rotating weight but actually not. The stock wheels weigh 2206 grams and and the Hunts weigh 2168 grams!

Noticed the same, bike wheels feels a bit heavy in rotating and accelerating. Rear suspension is really good and works really nice. Yesterday I was riding with regular bikes and in road and fire road sections i pedelated without assistant and you can really feel that the wheels are bulky.

That looks serious, hope you upgraded your health insurance as well :-D
Another reminder to check spoke tension. I did when I first got the bike and a couple of spokes were very loose on the rear wheel and I tightened them just by feel. Then after a couple of hard rides (gravity riding including a race, but less than 5 hours total on the bike), I noticed the rear wheel was wobbly. Thought I had bent the rim (although the bike was shaking more than it should've with that amount of out-of-trueness), but turned out to be some spokes had come so loose I could turn the nipples by hand.
Did a real truing this time, but I don't think the ST Lights are enough for this bike and 90 kg me and ordered some wheels with DT Swiss FR541 rims.

I tried a couple off Amazon but the M510 is unique and never got the right one. Wound up ordering a pair from Aliexpress.

Hi , I do have another set here that I could share if you think that shipping from Germany is faster than Ali
Thanks, I think I was able to source some locally in Finland, let's see if they arrive.

I may have over heated mine today. It was a hot day, 92 degrees F with near 70% humidity. I rode a hard 10 mile loop trying to beat my PR. I was in mode T the whole time and pushing 90% as hard as I could. Then after that I switched to R mode to knock out some fun laps after the hard ride. Several trails with 3-5 foot drops. It started to go off mid trail and come back on. Did a few other short fun trails and it continued. Then it shut off and wouldn't come back on.
I removed the battery and reinstalled it. There was a faint "hot electrical" smell that came from the battery area. After I put it back in it came on but the first push of a pedal and it would shut off again. I eventually gave up and pedaled it off for around 2 miles out to the main trail. Once back at the main trail I tried it again. It came back on and I pedaled in E around 3 miles back to the car like nothing was ever wrong.
I'm not sure if the motor or battery got warm, but something happened and it died completely. I've got over 500 miles on mine now. It's never done this before, but I've also never ran on R for more than a few feet. Maybe I was just too hard on it?

I have the mega play, but no solution. Took the screw/bolt out and put some threadlocker on the threads, since the screw has come out of some peoples' bikes (seems unrelated to the play).

Ok, so I might not have over heated the bike. I've went on two rides since then. The first ride was fine, but a relatively short ride of 10 miles. I did another ride yesterday and begin have problems again. I know it was not a heat issue because I was riding with my wife and was on E or E+ the entire time.
It would randomly cut off and cut back on. This ride had a lot of techy climbs and it would usually happen then. It would also randomly show a error code 35 very briefly. Seems like a power issue. I checked the wires at the display and they were good. I'm going to pull it apart and check all the power connectors and make sure ones not loose. If not I'll look at the battery. I don't feel like it is loose. I have to pry on it a little to get it loose after the latch is retracted. It is very tight. I'm hoping it's just a loose wire.
I am currently running a V3 display. If I don't find anything obvious I will swap the other display and see if that does anything.
Today the electronics really annoyed me.
I left home with the engine off and only turned it on at the destination when I wanted to drive up the mountain.
There was a message saying that 0% battery capacity was available. Switched it off and on again, checked the cables on the display again. Again just 0%.
Then I went up the mountain without motor support, but with an additional 10kg of weight compared to my other mountain bike. A relaxed round turned into fitness training.
At home I checked everything again. I plugged the plug in and out of the display several times and suddenly the Display showed 96% battery power again.
I may have a broken cable on the cable to the control unit, which then causes the error. I will keep an eye on it.
At least the riding characteristics still impress me.

Just a quick update on how to source spares. We do have 2 E Mythiques and I was a bit worried that due to the Vitus shutdown getting spares would be tricky. I couldnt find anything in Europe, apart from the motor. Another member pointed me towards Changzhou Fieldebikes Co so I gave it a go and order the full set
- motor incl. cranks and control unit
- 36v battery and charger
- lock and lower battery mount
The lady was very helpful and we sorted the details in a few days. It took a bit to get the battery , but now, after 8weeks everything has arrived and works flawless
It might be a bit exaugurated but I hate when I cant get a fix for something that breaks. So far no big issues on the bike , but will post a bit more shortly

Still having issues and I've narrowed it down to the battery. I can replicate the problem in my bike or my wife's just by swapping the battery. I'm trying to contact Bafang and see if they will warranty it.

The issue is the wiring loom which splits off for the coms protocol for the lower battery mount.
I have found that reducing any movement of that cable whilst riding hard, can mitigate the problem for turning the bike on.
The battery itself is fine, as well as the motor. It's simply that wiring loom.
Dengfu had the same problem. They redesigned the lower mount for a better interface for the battery. But the bms trigger switch still posed a problem with hard aggressive riding. Hence, why they ditched it for a different mounting design for the battery for the E55 & E82.
Yet when he uses a different battery, it works fine. And when he uses the faulty battery in another bike, that bike has the fault ...

This is correct. I've put over 100 miles on my bike with my wife's battery with zero problems. My wife put around 20 miles on her bike with my battery before it had the same issues. Now it will immediately cut off when the battery is "locked". As long as its just latched it is fine. I can also cut the bike on, but as soon as the motor gives any power out the bike cuts off. You could ride the bike with the motor off fine, but then as soon as you turn it to any power level and pedal it cuts out.

TLDR; I've been trying to get Bafang to warranty my bad battery. We are pretty much out of luck with warranty. Bafang says that cannot warranty anything out to an individual, that they can only deal with dealers. I bought my bikes through Planet Cyclery and they closed their doors a few months ago.
It took me 5 emails and over 2 weeks to get a reply from them (I emailed after sales support for the USA) saying to contact the dealer I bought the bike from. I told them that the dealer and manufacturer both were closed. They said they cannot warranty to the end customer. I supplied them with the invoice from buying the bike and they said they would see what they can do. I received an email saying they could sell me a new battery at a discount. That was last Thursday (9/12). I have not heard a word since. I'm waiting on a reply.
