    The biggest issue for road bikes and hub motors was easy wheel removal, but it seems that GRIN have pretty much made that as clean and straightforward as possible. I wish I had a GRIN all-axle to experiment with.

    If the terrain is mostly flat, and you only need a couple hundred watts of assist on a road bike, why are you even bothering with a mid drive? The hub motor will keep your bike looking clean, and you can keep your existing crankset (and q-factor) and drivetrain. The grin all-axle is about the...

    The Proton will basically be a BBSHD with torque sensing and is delayed until 2025: 7:57 mark

    Nervagon's Directionless, and Doomed Build

    My Mongoose Envoy frame underwent a major surgery/amputation and has fully recovered: It is now a sporty all-terrain long-wheelbase bike on 24” wheels. Amputation is clean. When riding the 29er cop bike off-road I’ve missed the Mongoose. The long wheelbase allows it to climb anything...

    I am being serious. And in-frame has different torque sensor hardware inside. It requires a different spring or something if I recall. It uses some different internal hardware and a different firmware. You can't just decide after the fact that you want to mount in-frame. You will have to send...

    I'm curious... can't wait to find out if the chainring slop was a product of poorly machined Bikee cranks, the square taper interface, or a little of both.

    'lightest.bike' 1.7kg 1000w mid drive

    Replying to myself here with a possible explanation knowing how Bikee operates. They likely did not 'update' the firmware to allow for dual-chainrings. I bet you that in-frame, under-frame, and dual-chainring are 3 separate firmwares! This goes against standard conventions, but I'm thinking...

    "And my throttle bug is reproducible from cold start" Yes, with the other motor off. And I noticed this accessory problem from day one with the wheel sensor remaining on. How do I get my motor ready? Lighting some candles and playing Barry White? I tried retaining compound to fix the pinion...

    Wait... even the firmware updating requires an another unlock code? WTF?

    Went through the update process a second time to see if it would update the motor firmware now that the display is updated: Mine also errored out in the process and no update to motor firmware.

    And my throttle bug is reproducible from cold start: Turn on display. Turn off display. Wait for shutdown. Hit throttle. Results: throttle will activate and spin motor. Expected results: throttle/motor should never spin with system powered off.

    After running update: Motor firmware: 072 Display firmware: 053 Looks like we have the same motor firmware but differing display firmware.

    'lightest.bike' 1.7kg 1000w mid drive

    So the medium mounts don’t have enough chain wrap. I dropped the chain twice while climbing off-road in low gear. I guess the lower chainring pulley is a necessity. But mounting it won’t be easy. I am using 2 left-side mounts so I don’t have the rails to attach the pulley arm to. Another...

    I have 29” wheels. Most hubs laced to a 29” wheel are pretty useless.

    'lightest.bike' 1.7kg 1000w mid drive

    Can any other Bikee owners confirm a dangerous bug? The throttle does not turn off when the display is shut down. The throttle is still live with the system shut down, and it still drives the motor! I noticed a similar problem with the wheel sensor. The wheel sensor light remains on when the...

    Thoughts after a long test ride. With 300W of assist from the Bikee Lightest, the Photon never overheats. Same weather today and took the same route that caused extreme overheating and throttling of the Photon. This is with the Photon running at about 600W. The combined 900W will climb pretty...

    I'll come feel your PAS and you can come feel my torque values. Also, can you share your affiliate link and employee discount on the toseven motors? If you can get the price down low enough for me, I might try it. Can you get me 50% off? Here's what I believe: I can do whatever weird frocking...

    CYC Photon in cow udder mode is deceiving... as in it's not as bad as it looks clearance-wise. Take a look a how far below the spindle the mid drive on most factory ebikes protrudes down. For comparison, I had my friend measure the ground clearance on his Specialized hard tail ebike: I've got...

    DM01 has 230Nm of torque? These two motors have a way higher combined torque output than the DM01’s 160Nm. This dual-motor drive train is also capable of pulling a double the max amps of the internal DM01 controller. The DM01 is a pig that weighs as much, maybe more than this dual motor drive...

    The harmonics of the dual drives in the same place is interesting. I should record it.

    So I fixed my Photon: The Bikee Lightest + CYC Photon is a match made in heaven. Tandem torque sensing PAS works seamlessly. There is crazy torque. The drives together only need a combined 600W to feel super powerful. PAS ride feel is very good combined. I am stunned this turned out so well...
