Very disappointing, thanks for reporting.

Hey guys, after I had already given up on this topic and decided to sit out the idea of getting an electric bike for a few more years, a new full suspension electric Fatbike has been announced. Is this their own frame or an open mould? The frame looks similar to this and this one but they are...

If I am not mistaken the adapter you are talking about is a "spider". I can't tell you where to get it but it seems we are basically faced with the same issue (this post and ff).

Almost a year later, are there any news or reviews on those frames and battery options for them, especially the first one? According to reseller "Fang" the largest battery option is 450Wh, are they fo' real?

Very interesting development, I am following this thread and from what I can tell you guys are doing a great job! :D I did a quick search but didn't find anything so please excuse if this has been asked before: Do you plan to support other common motors in the future? It would be great to see...

Yes, it also simply too big and heavy for anyone that is after something that still feels like a bike. I am still trying to find out how one could get a 65mm chainline with the G521, (instead the 75mm chainline you get with Bafang's fat bike spider from the G510 - assuming it fits onto the...

There are at least two companies already doing it but one has a weak motor and the other one has a motor rated for 4kW. All I would want is a company like Bafang mass to produce an affordable motor that has the power and weight of an G521 and a 600(-ish)% gearbox, I bet the whole thing would...

Thanks for checking your spider and chainring, wayne. I am aware of the Kindernay hub and considered it because the idea seems appealing but in the end I can't justify a hub that costs 10 times as much as a decent 10x derailleur setup (with a cheap steel cassette that has the strength to handle...

I hope my off topic posts are okay, given this thread is already so long I assume there is a fair bit of off-topic in it anyway. Thanks for the reply, Deafcat! So you're saying you want the high spread for high speeds and the high numbers of gears for biking with the motor turned off? I would...

Do you feel you actually need that many gears? I am currently looking into drivetrains for mid drives and it seems to me that a 10-speed steel cassette 10/11-46t is all you would need. Do you really need such fine shifting increments with a powerful motor? SRAM"s ebike specific drivetrains are...

Thank you for taking the time to take a photo go your bike, Wayne! Yep, 3/16" is pretty much what I guessed as well by measuring the PDF on my screen (hence my assumption of getting to 58mm based on the 53mm stated in the PDF). It didn't occur the me that by flipping the ring you loose contact...

Since the chainring is connected to the motor and not the crank itself like with non-electric ISIS cranks what other spider options are out there? The standard Bafang spider allows for a 53mm chainline according to the specifications PDF, if you flip the chainring you should land at 58(-ish) mm...

It seems like the motor isn't too bad after all and that the system is gaining traction. :-) Does Luna have the steel cogs exclusively or did Bafang change that for every unit sold? They also speak of a tuned torque sensor, what does this mean precisely? Let's hope there will be more frames...

Thanks for the additional info, Bigwheel! It is appreciated. I checked the manual and didn't find anything about a gasket, does this mean there really is none? The spindle looks like regular ISIS to me, let's hope I am not wrong. Can someone confirm that the G510.1000 and G520.250/G521.500...

My condolences for the stolen bike! After a while how would you two guys rate the bike in terms of how it rides? Does it feel agile, did you have mechanical issues (arrowrod mentioned some clearance issues with the chainring)? Also, is that a standard Hailong battery case that fits into the...
