    Very disappointing, thanks for reporting.

    New electric full suspension carbon Fatbike

    Hey guys, after I had already given up on this topic and decided to sit out the idea of getting an electric bike for a few more years, a new full suspension electric Fatbike has been announced. Is this their own frame or an open mould? The frame looks similar to this and this one but they are...

    My Bafang Ultra Mountain Bike! Frey AM1000

    If I am not mistaken the adapter you are talking about is a "spider". I can't tell you where to get it but it seems we are basically faced with the same issue (this post and ff).

    Carbon Fiber e bike with Bafang M 600 mid installed with throttle

    Almost a year later, are there any news or reviews on those frames and battery options for them, especially the first one? According to reseller "Fang" the largest battery option is 450Wh, are they fo' real?

    TSDZ2 mid drive with 860C, 850C or SW102 displays only -- Flexible OpenSource firmware (Casainho code only)

    Very interesting development, I am following this thread and from what I can tell you guys are doing a great job! :D I did a quick search but didn't find anything so please excuse if this has been asked before: Do you plan to support other common motors in the future? It would be great to see...

    Bafang M500/M600 thread

    Yes, it also simply too big and heavy for anyone that is after something that still feels like a bike. I am still trying to find out how one could get a 65mm chainline with the G521, (instead the 75mm chainline you get with Bafang's fat bike spider from the G510 - assuming it fits onto the...

    Bafang M500/M600 thread

    There are at least two companies already doing it but one has a weak motor and the other one has a motor rated for 4kW. All I would want is a company like Bafang mass to produce an affordable motor that has the power and weight of an G521 and a 600(-ish)% gearbox, I bet the whole thing would...

    Bafang M500/M600 thread

    Thanks for checking your spider and chainring, wayne. I am aware of the Kindernay hub and considered it because the idea seems appealing but in the end I can't justify a hub that costs 10 times as much as a decent 10x derailleur setup (with a cheap steel cassette that has the strength to handle...

    My Bafang Ultra Mountain Bike! Frey AM1000

    I hope my off topic posts are okay, given this thread is already so long I assume there is a fair bit of off-topic in it anyway. Thanks for the reply, Deafcat! So you're saying you want the high spread for high speeds and the high numbers of gears for biking with the motor turned off? I would...

    My Bafang Ultra Mountain Bike! Frey AM1000

    Do you feel you actually need that many gears? I am currently looking into drivetrains for mid drives and it seems to me that a 10-speed steel cassette 10/11-46t is all you would need. Do you really need such fine shifting increments with a powerful motor? SRAM"s ebike specific drivetrains are...

    Bafang M500/M600 thread

    Thank you for taking the time to take a photo go your bike, Wayne! Yep, 3/16" is pretty much what I guessed as well by measuring the PDF on my screen (hence my assumption of getting to 58mm based on the 53mm stated in the PDF). It didn't occur the me that by flipping the ring you loose contact...

    Bafang M500/M600 thread

    Since the chainring is connected to the motor and not the crank itself like with non-electric ISIS cranks what other spider options are out there? The standard Bafang spider allows for a 53mm chainline according to the specifications PDF, if you flip the chainring you should land at 58(-ish) mm...

    Bafang M500/M600 thread

    It seems like the motor isn't too bad after all and that the system is gaining traction. :-) Does Luna have the steel cogs exclusively or did Bafang change that for every unit sold? They also speak of a tuned torque sensor, what does this mean precisely? Let's hope there will be more frames...

    Bafang M500/M600 thread

    Thanks for the additional info, Bigwheel! It is appreciated. I checked the manual and didn't find anything about a gasket, does this mean there really is none? The spindle looks like regular ISIS to me, let's hope I am not wrong. Can someone confirm that the G510.1000 and G520.250/G521.500...

    My New Bafang Ultra - E-BIKE HYBRID SUV 27.5

    My condolences for the stolen bike! After a while how would you two guys rate the bike in terms of how it rides? Does it feel agile, did you have mechanical issues (arrowrod mentioned some clearance issues with the chainring)? Also, is that a standard Hailong battery case that fits into the...

    Looking for full suspension fat bike with integrated Bafang mid drive (and narrow Q-factor)

    Please excuse my question but what does the acronym "FME" stand for in this case (google didn't help)? This is the way I see it: A bike fit will cost me not a even a tenth of the (hypothetical) bike discussed in this topic but I get a (supposedly) perfect fit for all bikes I own now and future...

    As long it doesn't require a flux capacitor because you need 1.21 Jiggawatts of power! :bolt: :lol: PS: Thanks for the post.

    Carbon Fiber e bike with Bafang M 600 mid installed with throttle

    Thanks for the reply, Andy. Chainline isn't that much of an issue on a fat bike as it is made out to be . You basically need two things to move it outwards to 65 or 75mm while still keeping the motor centered: - a spider that pushes the chain line out by X amount - cranks with a high offset...

    [!Bling!] Wheel lighting

    Thanks for the replies! So this slip ring thing seems a bit too excessive but the induction looks like a feasible idea*. The LEDs in your rim or spokes shouldn't consume more then a few Watts (I am sure someone will prove me wrong though with his rotating bat signal that can be seen from the...

    Bafang M500/M600 thread

    Some questions about the motor that came to my mind: - If is not UART but CANBUS, how is programming the work going to work? The tool used so far to program the Ultra and other motors seems out of the question. - What displays are going to work with the motor? - How is the situation regarding...

    Carbon Fiber e bike with Bafang M 600 mid installed with throttle

    Andy, you seem to be involved in the manufacturing part of bikes. Can you tell us if it is possible (in terms of screwing up the geometry and suspension design) to get another rear triangle for fat tires for an existing frame and if it is likely to convince a manufacturer to do a small...

    Bafang M500/M600 thread

    Since this seems to be an interesting motor, why not have a separate topic for it? I'll start with three quotes I have found about the motor on this forum, feel free to add more information that you can find.

    Titanium Fatbike - Bafang Ultra and Phaserunner

    I was about to ask the same. Great to hear! I would be interested in your build as well, so please keep us updated and let us us know how everything progresses. I *just* told Daxxie, how helpful his thread is for others! Maybe open a new build thread for this, so others can follow your...

    Thank you again for the reply, Daxxie! Good to know, thanks. That is what I thought! Good to know, thanks. Thank you for the Photoshop mock-up. It looks good, doesn't it? Thank you for the explanation. Thank you for the explanation. I do too but with those proprietary designs you never know if...
