This isn't a terrible deal... What do you think of the geometry on the E05? https://www.ebay.com/itm/29er-Carbon-E-bike-SRAM-12s-Suspension-Mountain-bike-Bafang-Electric-Bicycle-20/174558544747?hash=item28a480036b:g:KckAAOSwasNdcMlI That bike is basically the same as the BD one using what I am call...

I haven't been active on this thread since page one much but have been following it with interest. The potential I saw in mid '19 for the M600 seems to finally becoming fulfilled. However there is still a question in my mind at least of the long term reliability of the motor and what Bafang is doing...

Looks to me like you should mill the dropout some to get the axle deeper into the dropout. A 10mm rotary burr file would help best but can be done with a dremel tool or round file. Just be careful to be symmetrical about it.

Looks too wide to me and that will make it uncomfortable for the passenger to ride with their feet on the pegs. I suggest an X'tra cycle kit you might find on CL or eBay...

Very clean install. Props for the WTB Vigilante I run the same tire in the front and it has never let me down except the time recently it flatted, tubeless, 5 miles from home and I hadn't transferred my pump and rode it back. Pulled it off and inspected it and couldn't see any issues around the side...

Nice playground. I have similarish sandy terrain to ride on but not as open in the trees here in OR. There is a 5 mile stretch of beach I ride regularly, tide depending, but I get by without a fatbike no problem. In fact I ride 1.5 tires on the beach but usually my 2.3/2.8 combo.

My first conversion was 3 years ago and as I was using mechanical disc brakes I used the TS levers. I did find it useful after awhile to slightly depress one of the levers while shifting that shut down the motor, sort of like a clutch. I decided to go with hydraulic discs two years ago and so the st...

"why the tech for fully integrated double chainring e-road builds is so proprietary? " I don't think it is a proprietary issue as much as the market demand for drop bar eBikes is just developing and the large players are on it but there have been options out in the DIY world for years to m...

42/18 is only a 60" high gear which might get you to what was mentioned depending on how much you weigh. The TSDZ2 is not a good stand alone system for speed but does very well with a higher cadence pedaling input. My 42/11, 110" gear, spun out pedaling does a little over 26mph on level gr...

Basically the stock bearings the bb spindle ride on are crap. There is plenty of info on here about changing them out to better ones if you can sift through the large amount of chatter here about TSDZ2's. However it is a home repair job that not all are going to be willing to undertake.

You could also run SIS and brake cable housing full length I just happened to think. But now that you are set a bit late....

It's expensive, but I think the Grin "All Axle Motor" would work here. Grin also has pre-fabricated 1/4" steel torque arms. All Axle motors are 100mm. https://ebikes.ca/product-info/grin-products/all-axle-hub-motor.html The All Axle motor is a direct-drive front hub that we designed ...

Hi all. I have just completed 2 builds using the new E10 frame. Picture attached. I can confirm the battery is larger than the one in the M09 and is rated at 816 watts or 17 AH. The battery specification I received stated it uses 21700 cells but unless I open it up, I can't confirm this. The E10 as...

All Axle motors are 100mm.

Just about any bike shop might have one in a parts bin.

Not an uncommon issue with any of the kit bb drives. I use 42t, the smallest that will fit over the reduction housing, offset chainrings on my TSDZ2 bikes. They don't make any specific ones but you can mod the bolt pattern with a drill to fit the standard spider and some spacers. Will get the chain ...

Nicely done! Only thing I would do different is put a spacer on the drive side between the bb and the housing. Winters coming and that will be a blast

I have found that carrying the battery in an under the tt bag like this Screen Shot 2020-09-30 at 8.03.33 PM.png to be very effective and am in line with the others that say having weight higher is not detrimental to handling, especially at speed. However if you expect to be reaching high speed aver...

I use front hub motors on my drop bar bikes and find the regen feature to be only be outclassed by the cruise control feature. The red button on the left hood is a momentary switch and when I want to slow down it is the first thing I go to. I can fully utilize the front lever while holding it also ...

How much on shipping ? They're trying to say Tesla like cells that's a 18650 cell and that's the only like there is to Tesla. Same format only. Smoke and mirrors. A complete BMS ? Plainly states in the specs it is a 21700 cell. Tesla has switched to 21700 cells btw. Screen Shot 2020-09-22 at 9.10.3...

While it is doubtful that the 21700 cells are made in the Tesla Giga factory where Panasonic makes them in house they could be the same type cells made in China. It's kind of vogue to splash the Tesla name around in the e market place...However that is a hell of a price for a 19.2ah battery with 217...

Nice!

thumbnail_IMG_1982.jpg Bigwheel, What's with that mounting position of your CA...doesn't that get in the way for using your drops? Not at all, I primarily ride on the hoods but the drops are easily accessible. Riding the flat section is still possible but I rarely if ever ride from there. I made so...
