Yet another Dengfu E10 build

[aegidius]

My new build. E10 from and M510 motor kit, and 820Wh battery, from Greenbikekit.
Parts are all (most) from a donor bike, a Merida Big Trail 4, to keep costs down and ensure compatibility of things. Shock is a RockShox Debon Air. As at these photos, the rear brake still need bleeding before I am game to hop on.

Bled the back brake (an easy process at it turned out with syringe at bottom and funnel at top) and had my first ride today. Compared to my other Bosch CX bike, it's dead quiet and almost imperceptible kick-in of motor power, but pulls plenty hard right up to the speed limit (ask me no questions and I'll tell ye no lies). Quiet tyres (Schwalbe G-one Allrounds) complete the picture of a relaxing ride on-road, the only time I can hear the motor

Suspension both ends feels perfect right out of the box, but maybe a little soft at rear (30% sag) but will borrow a shock pump and have a look at that.
