UN3480 guidelines for hazardous goods regulate the shipment of Li batteries internationally.

Having unpacked shipments of multiple high Ah batteries from China they were nothing more than wrapped in these
In a sturdy cardboard box.

Geometry looks pretty shaky. Long chain stays and steep head tube would be deal breakers for me. Also I am not as much of a fan of integrated batteries as most seem to be due to down the road adaptability to new battery structure.

I forgot to mention that on my eMtb I have ChiBon rims front and rear with WTB TCS tires and have not had any issues with them getting tires on and off. One is a 650b i35 rim and the other is an i35 700c. You really can't blame the tire in this instance I feel. I would wager that any tubeless ready ...

Are you sure the problem is with the WTB TCS tire or the BSD of the Dengfu, or whoever they got it from, CF rim? I use TCS tires on all my bikes, but I do also use their rims, and as your mechanic pointed out he had never seen anything this bad before and there are way more WTB tires in the market p...

There is a Can Bus protocol imbedded in the BMS for the M600. It probably has an affect on the throttle function. This is a new move by Bafang to come into line with the manufactured products by the EU manufacturers. However, unlike all Bafang products that have come before that are DIY user friendl...

I see the M600 as the anti EU motor. Yeah, the Levo gets lots of love but it is not at all perfect and it LACKS A THROTTLE which is important to some of us. Not so that we can go thumbing the thing exclusively but because it is a handy item to have on board and the fact that the EU regs have somehow...

The new silent killer in our streets: Electric bikes may be green and trendy, but last week they claimed their first British victim and experts fear there will be many more:

Lest we ever forget....

Although I try to keep up here this may or may not have been featured: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6171963/Electric-bikes-green-trendy-week-claimed-British-victim.html It seems that now the media is playing the fear card in order to better align with the politicians who are holding all ...

Got it direct from Bafang that the motor is good for 52v as that is what I want to run. Nice that it is quiet. Quiet is good.

Nice and light but that will be negated the first mud patch you go through and the system gets loaded up due to it's placement and as far as I can tell become ineffective at the same time? Certainly won't work here in Oregon for the upcoming wet season fast approaching. Should work ok in dry climate...

Holes in the bottom of a box are like escape hatches for any small parts that might want to escape, hope that's not the case. Why the shipping company would send the thing to Tennessee is beyond me and lucky you didn't get a tariff slapped on it there. Did they ever send you a drawing of the frame? ...

is it open source alu frames? can be bought where? Yes, open source. Probably a few months out on production however. Depends on how well the proto rides as we are working with then to have it inline with up to date geo which wasn’t their original plan. They are also a carbon facility and after the...

Aluminum FS prototype M600 frame on its way to t4/t6 heat treatment. Won’t be the lightest frame but good enough to confirm the geo and go from there. 3C56E941-B3F6-4B0F-B6C9-BA14ED7F490D.jpeg Put battery company together with Bafang for BMS protocols and CAN today. The frame as shown is for the Baf...

Progress with using a different manufacturer for an M600 based frameset. Actually two, a fs and a ht. FS proto finalized geo so it’s first in line. Proto frames will be non integrated batteries to accommodate the 15ah 2170 battery being developed along side. Should have all the parts and pieces toge...

Top speed is 25 km/h (15.5 mph). This is the "hot new motor?"

I’m sure it will top out at 20 here. But that little Fauza would struggle in the 28mph class. Yawn.

Mid motor w/ torque assist for a drop bar type bike is not the way to go anyway. A thousand watt hub motor is just right however.

I’ve been following the release of the tq motor since it was announced. I rode a bike at interbike a few years ago that had one but it was very cruiser styled. Ok and I’m sure they have made improvements since but not on my wish list. For one thing it is heavy and all those vanes look like a dirtsas...

Different nanufacturer then if that is the company you are in contact with. Virtually the same frame, offering Shimano and M600, but Taiwan source for sure that I am in contact with. I forwarded a shot of a skid plate yesterday to get them to incorporate that element. I use a TSDZ2 currently and it ...

Ever since seeing an explanation of the M600 online I have been attracted to it like a moth to light. Basically for all the reasons mentioned including a conventional centere Q factor. However I am moving forward beyond the 18650 cell to 21700’s and the frame above doesn’t work for that. As an aside...

A couple of things, Sun Race now make an 8 spd wide ratio cassette with steel gears, I think it is 11 -42 or 11- 44 but only 8 gears. I tried a SRAM derailleur but eventually gave up and used a Shimano 10 spd ( 11 spd is the same item ) with a Goats link installed https://www.wolftoothcomponents.co...

Bon Voyage Justin and Anne-Sophie!

AWD here. Due to Internet ignoramus somehow I ended up with different accounts for my mobile devices and computer. Grin wIll treat you right. I have both the 25a and 35a controllers. Started out with two 25's but burned one up so I went with the bigger, also physically, one but still run it at 25a v...

Looks good Fantasy2. The bolt pattern suggests that the existing Bafang style aftermarket offset rings would work if there is the need to bring the chainline in.

Looks like somebody already has a hard on for Jim

It is so hard to diagnose problems like yours sysrq from afar. But of the 25 TSDZ2’s that have gone through the shop here none have exhibited any sort of a jerky TA. The having to stop to reset it is a totally foreign concept. While the assist will stop if it is over run by the parameters of the mod...
