Hope you guys can help me on this. I have been struggling a couple of days with my motor. After hearing creaking noise (for sure not the pedal or crank) on the drive side I decided to open it and see if I could regrease and at the same time check the bearing condition. The problem is that I...

Hi everyone, Did any of you install the software on the coaster brake version? I installed it a couple of months back to see and the motor was still on half a second after I stopped to pedal. It was quite annoying so I put the original software back... Also I found the motor to be less...

:thumb: looks great ! Thanks

Did some of you install a chainguard with this motor ? (Especially with an internal gear hub). Any recommendations or warnings on compatibility ? I'm about to order one of those : https://www.bike-components.de/en/Hebie/Chainglider-350-Full-Chain-Protection-Front-p29665/ Thanks

I understand what you mean now. I have the same feeling also when I start moving. Not sure if it's normal though.

That's normal. The motor needs to calibrate at start, if there's a pressure on the pedal the calibration will be wrong and you get a weird behavior of the motor. Just to understand it, try to push strongly either forward or backward at start during calibration, and try to ride (on a safe...

I think your motor just got too hot. I had the same issue on a long ride during a hot afternoon, it delivered much less power. I just let it rest overnight and it worked properly again. You should alternate the modes based on the needs, when you stay always on boost for a long time it will get...

There are 2 different versions. You can buy the coaster brake version it should be stated by your seller.

Not only for children or cruising bikes. It's quite popular in Germany and the Netherlands on city bikes, and nowdays they all have front and rear rim brakes in addition to the coaster brake. After some practice you can coordinate foot and hand brake and mostly anticipate much sooner situations...

I have the coaster brake version with 350w. To me it has enough power, I can reach 40kmh on flat or go uphill at 20/25kmh (for a few minutes as it can easily overheat if you want to use high gears to go faster on a hill). The advantage with this version is that you can save your rim brake pads...

Anyone in Europe selling an St link with the cable already soldered ? Or if not selling, lending it for a fee and I'll use it basically just one day to put the original firmware back to my motor as the wrong one is currently on it. (Non coaster brake) Naturally I'll pay the post costs as well...

Thank you so much!

Same here. In a couple of months with this motor and the forum I feel I became a professional bicycle mechanic :) and bought the right tools as I learn. Torque wrench is definitely needed, especially that our bikes can go really fast, better not to over/under tighten something, as at 40km/h when...

Thanks for the link, I'll probably try it. This one is more "liquid" and therefore better for the plastic? Another seller sells a smaller amount for 17€. I have a spare blue and metal gear so I won't change it for the moment, once i feel there's a problem I'll swap the gear and try this grease...

I used this bearing grease not only for the blue gear but all the gears : Nigrin 74145 Mehrzweckfett, Tube 250 ml https://www.amazon.de/dp/B001BAU3VY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_DeKUCbVW89SX8
