    Bafang M400 (Max) Issue

    I posted this on the Bafang group page and for some reason it wasn't allowed. I'll have to swap out parts to narrow it down, my thoughts are electrical rather than mechanical: Bafang Max (M400) Problem- Anyone have experience with these (or maybe the BBS does similar)? Mine seems to be getting...

    Importing EBikes to Australia

    Understand there are a few Aussie members, any tips or advice? I purchased one ebike via alibaba and want more, the supplier has agreed to ship 5 and supplied a quote inc. just their purchase cost FOB plus shipping.

    Controlling PAS

    Without a display? I want to try PAS only, without throttle or display. But PAS is horrible. It takes off to quick and sudden, it took off when I was sitting idle and put too much pressure on the pedal.. with the handlebars at too much angle, and threw me hard past the bars... and it keeps...

    E Hiking Cart

    I'm considering building an electric single wheel pull/push cart to carry hiking food supplies. Have seen one made with a hub mtr and I have a spare geared motor which I expect would be best (gear reduction in the motor plus gear reduction in the chainline) but trying to get head around the best...

    Remove Handlebar Controls?

    Hi ES, My new folding bike (36v/250w) has this generic display/ key switch (off/PAS/throttle) / throttle grip: It also has a key switch on the battery. I can do without the throttle and display (and wacking my knee on that giant key :? ). Can I expect to simply bridge the switch wire at...

    '170mm' hub axle in a 190mm dropout?

    Continuing search for a new bike. With steel frame is it possible to just fit 170mm axle (smaller fat tyre) in 190mm dropouts. I'm sure someone would have done this, just bend /tighten to fit (the 170mm axle over all much wider than 190mm) but see that eg bafang make 190mm now. I have an eye on...
