Howdy y'all. I ordered a Bafang BBSHD mid-drive motor kit & 14s7p 1200wh rectangle battery from EM3ev about two weeks ago & was astounded when UPS said my package was in the states already a few days ago & set to arrive today. Well it just got here & now I'm realizing why it made it to me so quickly -- this package contains just the motor & accessories; no battery!
Well, I suppose that figures. really thought that 20lb box would have a battery in it - but nope! Got another 12-13lb brick comin' my way (dang eBike stuff is heavy! lol). Of course I've reached out to EM3ev directly to ask about when my battery should be getting here or if it's even been sent yet, but as they're super busy & taking a little bit to respond on average I figured I'd reach out to the community here & ask what other folk's experiences have been with this in the states, especially recently what with Covid & our whole postal situation being what it is right now. Also just in general, to those of you who've ordered both your motor & battery kits from EM3ev: Did your motor & battery ship separately also? And if your motor arrived first, how much longer were you waiting before the battery arrived?
Thanks
EDIT: Oof...looks like they also sent me a 30A/1000W motor when I ordered a 25A/750W for legal reasons (mainly the option of purchasing insurance...eBike insurance won't cover a motor above 750W). I do plan to use this on the road but besides the insurance thing I'm not so concerned about technically being above the legal watt limit since I don't plan to be doing anything crazy or actually running it at that output 99% of the time. this seems like it might be a long ride if they're gonna make me ship this back to China y'all lol.
