    Bafang Ultra G510 - error code 11 & burnt controller

    What have you bought from them ? If you have bought anything, are singling out WW but not other vendors for the same thing, then you have an agenda. Here’s what you need to do 1. What other vendors sell the same pack and claim 1100 wh? Luna does from your post. Where is your post about Luna...

    Admins, we had some questions about batteries on the bike but I don't see them here any longer. Were they deleted by the users ?

    Bafang ultra,how strong is it.Does it overheat?

    Is Watt Wagons offering a controller-only upgrade? Looks like they offer it as part of the motor right now. If the performance is as good as you make it out to be, it will be a worthy upgrade. I wouldn't mind spending if it gives my bike a new life. Looks like if it ships to Germany and back...

    My Bafang Ultra Mountain Bike! Frey AM1000

    I just saw that Watt Wagons is selling custom Ti frames. Definitely expensive, but if you are looking for quality, that appears to be an avenue. I am not sure if they will be selling frames for their upcoming Ultimate Commuter Pro superbike, but I would ask them.

    Stripped Bafang connector - where can i find spares?

    I opened my M600 to re-grease but stripped one of the pin connectors. Can someone please tell me what they are called please and where can I find them please? They don't appear to be JST (or may be they are but a special type). Help please.

    Shorten or extend controller cables - looking for connectors

    I have a BBSHD controller cable that I want to shorten so it doesn't stick out - there is very little room in the FS frame to ziptie it. I can definitely cut/ splice the cable to the right length - Is there a recommended Male-Female connector that I can use] instead of using electrical tape...

    Wayne’s Dengfu Carbon Fibre FS 27.5” with Bafang M600 (throttle also)

    My $0.02 here - I spoke with another supplier and looks like Bafang has told them that the firmware and ports are evolving, and to expect updates. I asked for additional details but that is all they got. This particular supplier is hesitant to sell the M600 system right now. I am guessing it...

    Spare parts for the Bafang Ultra ?

    I see a bunch of posts around parts for the Bafang Ultra - how real is this issue ? How many failures have people seen with the Ultra ? The answer is probably non-zero, but with motors (even BBSHD) , do users see a large amount of maintenance and need for spare parts ? Curious if people have...

    Stromer ST1X vs Juggernaut Ultra 1000 vs DIY

    Dude, you are a hero. I know.. sorry if I got carried away. I read your post history earlier - clearly know your stuff. My argument was about the proprietary stuff.. I am for open platforms... i dont like proprietary stuff and between Juggernaut and Stromer, I htink the Biktrix is cheaper TCO...

    Stromer ST1X vs Juggernaut Ultra 1000 vs DIY

    Agreed neptronix. I think Mac motor is also a great recommendation. Do you know if there is a provider out there who sells complete mac motor ebikes ? Is the Juiced a mac motor or a bafang one ? I am not sure if they are the same or similar.

    Stromer ST1X vs Juggernaut Ultra 1000 vs DIY

    I would go for the juggernaut as well. I like Stromer and the ride cannot be compared, but IMO with hills and stuff, you are better off with an open platform like Biktrix. the only thing proprietary is the battery - just buy another one spare in case you ride in cold weather.

    Stromer ST1X vs Juggernaut Ultra 1000 vs DIY

    I like DIY as much as the other guy. I just dont think you are getting the point of the discussion. Either you don't read, or have an urge to be appreciated about your experience. You are clearly great at building bikes - no doubt. That bike you have looks sick af ! My point is that a typical...

    Stromer ST1X vs Juggernaut Ultra 1000 vs DIY

    Both Specialized and Giant are proprietary - infact every single component from the battery to the motor, switches, displays etc on them is proprietary. So if Proprietary is bad, Specialized and Giant are the worse choice. You HAVE to buy everything from them. Which is basically what the...

    Stromer ST1X vs Juggernaut Ultra 1000 vs DIY

    Umm.. how ? The closest i can see is the Luna KHS for $3200 plus shipping. 1. Reasonable bike with quality components is atleast $1500. Don't give me the craigslist route - Frame is probably ok, but the rest of the components are shit, and should be replaced. At that point you might as well buy...

    BBSHD - still big demand ?

    I am curious if there is any insight around the demand for BBSHD, compared to the relatively newer Ultra or other? Vendors are still selling the BBSHD kits, but I am curious if there is continuing demand for conversion of existing bikes, as opposed to buying custom frames / bikes.

    My Bafang Ultra Mountain Bike! Frey AM1000

    Did you get any water in the connectors? I saw this once with a BBSHD build once. Disconnected everything , let the connectors dry, plugged back in and it reset. This may also be a loose connection somewhere. Frey should be able to help you.

    My Bafang Ultra Mountain Bike! Frey AM1000

    I noticed on your other post - is it the Ludicrous mode from Luna ? I can do around 40-45miles on 52v x 17AH with only level 1 pedal assist. No throttle. I think that comes to around ~18wh/mile. This is with the ludicrous mode, 3in knobby tires, geared all the way down. Yes, motor gets a...

    Is entering the ebike market a viable business now?

    That is an interesting take. Even though everyone is talking about regulations, cities are still struggling with basic biking infrastructure issues. Sometimes I feel that infrastructure will address regulations - i.e. if there are dedicated bicycle lanes for long commutes (6 miles or more, one...

    Is entering the ebike market a viable business now?

    This is true.. but how does that affect or factor into what consumers want to buy. You are one of the pioneers in the space - where do people want to be - the 80% or a large enough population. Yeah - I have seen the 10% being the most vocal as well. Tons of disclaimers - full transparency -...
