    Dave's 80:1 RC mid drive kit build log

    might be worth a look for those after a different crank option https://singletrackworld.com/2018/04/praxis-works-will-lighten-your-e-bike/ no idea if there is some proprietary layering going on inside the drive or how they would fit vs standard isis

    Dave's 80:1 RC mid drive kit build log

    Is anyone out there riding the 3kw pedal assist that can provide some feedback? If you have direct experience of bafang/commercial mid-drives i would be really grateful for any guide on what sort of dB it is putting out at lower power levels (500-750w) once broken in compared to a bafang and how...

    wow, if there is any way to make a lower power rated slot in gearbox that is much quieter i would gladly buy the 3kw torque sensing set-up and the 'stealth' gearbox for use at lower power output. imho its a product like this that will make ebikes massive - quiet, well made, unobtrusive, torque...

    I'd like to build the perfect trail bike...

    have a look at bikee ebike motor or the eram (if it ever appears, manufacturer still seems to say it will at some point). I think there is a massive hole in the mainstream market for something like tangent (i.e. well made and in frame) that is bbs quiet and torque sensing. fair enough most...

    50 amp BBS-HD at Luna

    looking forward to this! https://en-gb.facebook.com/lunacycle/photos/pcb.1649237288700333/1649237268700335/?type=3 hopefully bafang quiet and with a torque sensor option!

    Bafang Ultra drive system 1000w

    looks like an OEM manufacturer only system to be built into the frame. still no decent off the shelf retrofit torque sense system out there

    sub 4 pounds, sub 500w RC mid drive

    I don't suppose anyone went to eurobike and saw the joy industrial stand? It was next to the scott one and supposedly had the production version of e-ram on display

    News from Bafang soon?

    did anything come of this?

    BROSE

    that does ring a bell, mystery solved!

    BROSE

    maybe some hole in the message board software? Was a guy asking about the brose unit and where he could try it, not that it matters (about the post vanishing)!

    looks like OP deleted and now this doesn't make much sense!

    its the mid-drive used by Specialized, likely fairly easy to get a go at a dealer - not sure that they sell it as an aftermarket drive though? http://www.bikeradar.com/mtb/gear/article/turbo-levo-fsr-6fattie-comp-review-46835/

    sub 4 pounds, sub 500w RC mid drive

    looks like e-ram is about to hit the market https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=http://www.golem.de/news/e-ram-das-mountainbike-wird-zum-e-bike-umgeruestet-1604-120616.html&prev=search I know it probably looks rubbish against the more powerful kit, but for me this is the...

    sub 4 pounds, sub 500w RC mid drive

    the pulse training idea is a really good one! Personally i am not an early adopter and would rather wait until its produced and working for a decent period before jumping in. Also not sure on the BB axle type but i have not seen square tapers stand up to decent offroad use for any lenth of...

    Amazing new mid-drive entrant!

    ever closer to the day when something like that (well engineered torque sensing retrofit drive that will take the abuse of real world mtb riding) is released and everyone suddenly gets that e-mtbikes are actually just like your local hill turning into a lift assisted bike park and (largely)...

    Amazing new mid-drive entrant!

    don't know how to embed the pics, but that is the wrong drive above hollow crank, Di (electronic gears) integration, Bluetooth control etc. I did in my initial excitement think it was a retrofit system like bafang but in triangle mount, which really would have been amazing. As an integrated...

    Amazing new mid-drive entrant!

    http://singletrackworld.com/2016/04/111043/ Launch is this weekend and available from oct-16! “Shimano first launched its urban and leisure-orientated e-bike components (E6000) in 2013. Now, with the knowledge and experience that comes from many years of developing high-end MTB components...

    sub 4 pounds, sub 500w RC mid drive

    hopefully i'm not jumping all over someone elses thread but I think we are after sort of the same thing.. I can consistently put out 250w riding singletrack trails on my MTB, sometimes 350w on a short climb. i'm after assistance that can let me ride a bigger bike (more travel, stickier tyres)...

    sub 4 pounds, sub 500w RC mid drive

    if the drive is quiet with batteries that fit in a small camelback then any ban will be unenforcible. A torque sensing mid-drive that can turn a decent 160-200w rider output on a trail ride into downhill speed across singletrack with tacky tires will be a massive gamechanger at trailcentres -...

    INTENSE Tracer 275 with Tangent Ascent

    wow, that looks awesome. how does the wire under the saddle connect to your battery, is there some form of quick release that will disconnect in the event of a crash?

    sub 4 pounds, sub 500w RC mid drive

    just chucking some numbers into a calculator like this (bottom of the page) http://www.cyclingascents.com/alpedhuez.html#.VpY-HPmyNBc are you sure sub 500w is going to deliver what you are after? to hit 15mph on a steep fire road i would think you are talking around 800w?

    sub 4 pounds, sub 500w RC mid drive

    this is exactly what i am looking for. from a bit of research i think the tangent motor is going to be very loud although perhaps not at the loads you are looking for? I think a set-up like tangent with near silent operation at power levels that are much more 'bionic' legs than minimoto is...
