Hi. Yes these are fitted with the standard Bafang thumb throttle. The only time I use it is when starting on a hill just to get the first pedal stroke in and the assist started. For fun, you can use it on the flat but I try to max battery and range. Being based in New Zealand the cost of...

Hi. Yes using 27.5 x 2.8. With this larger tire size I do gain some height although not as much as a 29'er or even just a 29'er upfront. The good amount of travel in the rear also results in the BB dropping lower. I am getting a die set to tap out new pedal mounts on the existing cranks. Even...

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...

Hi. I have just completed 2 builds using the newer E10 frame. The geometry is perfect for an 'all-rounder' e-mtb. If you fit it out with 180mm travel forks you have a beast of a downhill unit but you can equally go more modest with components and build a good XC unit. I went with Suntour...

Hi. If anyone is looking for batteries for this frame I have 2 spare 48v 14amp/hr units. I completed 2 builds of the new Dengfu E10 frame (upgrade from M09) and they sent me the wrong size batteries. Luckily these where spares send separately from the bikes so have 1 set of the correct and...

For anyone interested I have attached the specs for the new Dengfu frame E10. This is their upgrade to the current M09 used for Luna X1. SMART features are currently being tested which suggests that there may a chance that Bafang is opening up some of the communication protocols to the M600...

Hi. Just wondering if anyone has had any success installing brake cut-offs and/or gear sensor cut-off? As others have mentioned on this forum, the ability to cut power with a quick flick of the brakes really helps with technical climbs. According to the specifications on the Bafang website the...

Hi.Thanks for the update and PM response. I am currently trying to work through an order for 2 or maybe more of these with a few upgrades. Thanks for the advice on doing some component upgrades yourself. They seem to want to use high end 12 speed Sram eagle components but I not convinced these...
