Thank you for the reply,
@Neeko DeVinchi. I was aware of the chainstay length, and actually wanted to add that as a consideration to my previous post, but must have forgotten about it. It basically acts as a slightly longer lever in the suspension design, compared to the shorter chainstays of the E10/E22s rear, which might be an issue on the E10's frame, but not with the E22's frame design. Without a software to check the geometry/suspension and my very limited knowledge regarding this, I couldn't even guess.
If I may ask
@El Topo, why do you wish to swap the E10's rear end for an E23's?
It is quite simple, I want a lighter bike and don't need the M620's power, but
definitely want to run fat tires. I also want to motor that encourages me to pedal harder myself.
Having shorter chainstays (because of how the motor sits in the frame), as well as the possibility to get a 17" instead of 18" frame is another bonus, I would certainly appreciate, because both combined with the ligher may translate to a more to a more agile riding experience, even for a fairly unskilled rider, like I am one. I would miss the water bottle and like the optics of the E22's front triangle more, but that is a loss I am willing to accept.
Initially, I was hoping to get a an adapter plate to mount the M510 into the E23 but that plate has so far only been a prototype, and the creator does not plan to sell it, because of the low demand to convert a M620 frame into a M5x0/M600 frame. Understandably, most users want more power but not less.
That being said, so far I only testrode an M620 from Innotrace, but I know that all the current motors from the established brands like Bosch, Shimano, Brose, etc. provide enough power for what I need/want, so I can only assume a M510 would be sufficient (if its software is getting more usable....). In fact, I doubt, I would run any of those in their Turbo mode, except maybe on very rare occasions.
In fact, that new
Intra-Drive, motor gear with integrated box system is pretty much what I have been looking for ages, and would also conveniently solve any potential unsprung mass issues with the longer chainstays of the fat rear triangle. I think that there will be a Shimano to M500 adapter coming soon from the same user.
@Neeko DeVinchi, couldn't you get in touch with Dengfu, you seem to have a good connection with them? If they would consider validating that setup, I doubt I will get another answer if I ask again - which I totally understand.
I would be okay to run a bike like yours (because of the overstroking of the shock), where the warranty is void, but common sense says, that I should not expect issues.
If someone would tell me, that I shouldn't attempt a 2m drop with that Frankenframe-setup, but should not worry otherwise, I think I would be fine to take the risk to actually build the bike up like that, but I couldn't afford to waste my money if it is not going to work for whatever reason.
