Yes you a probably right, the motor is sealed and surrounded by a plastic case. Much of what you see is not motor but covering case. There is minimal airflow through this area. As you've surmised when you stop the temperature will initially rise as that minimal airflow stops and the motor...

Hi Slowbloke. Sorry to hear about your tale of woe.... It certainly sounds like an overheat warning, did you feel the motor? Was it physically hot? You are probably going to have to involve the Giant Dealer. There are a number of threads dealing with overheating in hot climates (not usually...

Since the motor was replaced over a year ago the bike & motor have operated faultlessly. I've probably covered another 2000km and I'm now out of warranty and contemplating the next step. The 2023 Stance is to my mind a downgrade over my model for more money so I've decided to put that money...

Mobilgrease 28 is the best grease to lubricate your nylon gear. This grease can be used to lubricate and grease the Bafang BBS01/02/HD motors. Mobilgrease 28 is specifically designed for aircraft parts and is nylon gear safe, it is red in colour. Mobilgrease 28 is used in landing gear wheel...

Great result.

Remembering that I'm running a BBS02, not the BBHD. I'm using a 40t Lekkie Bling-Ring and because of this the low profile Lekkie Gear Cover. I run one spacer under the Bling-Ring so my offset is 9mm, the standard Bafang 46t chainring has an offset of 5.4mm. My chain runs straight about mid...

My build last year was a large 2021 Trek Marlin 7 with a 36v 500w BB02 with a 864Wh (36v 24ah) battery fitted. I'm utilising the 10 speed 11-46T cassette and the Shimano MT200 disc brakes front & rear. I've fitted it with a Brand-X dropper seat, MTB alloy pedals DMR Defy 50mm Stem and Spank...

I'm not sure but would the Lekkie PF30 Eccentric Bafang Adapter be what you require. https://www.converted.co.nz/product/lekkie-bb30-pf30-eccentric-bafang-adapter/

Makara Peaks MTB Park, Wellington, New Zealand. Autumn, turning to winter here down under.

The original Monarch is 184mm x 44mm (Eye to Eye length x Stroke length) this is 7.25” x 1.75” in imperial measurements, so yes. Bushes will transfer fine.

I installed a Rainier Gen 3 Dropper Post & Loam Lever from PNW Components based in Seattle WA in March 2002, it's operated faultlessly for over a year and I'm very impressed with the quality. Their service was great and it came with a lifetime warranty, they shipped internationally and the kit...

Search for "sudden off".

My Greatest Fear is that when I die, my wife will sell my E-bike for what I told her I paid for it.

I believe it is based on the new PWseries S2 (PW-S2) drive unit with a maximum torque of 75Nm that Yamaha say is 7% higher than the PWseries ST (PW-ST) used in the Stance 2021 & 2022. It weights 2.85kg against the 3.4kg of the PW-ST. As my 2 year warranty comes to an end mid-year I was...

The 2023 Stance E+2 is listed in NZ at NZ$6999, it comes with the 625Wh battery and comes with a pretty cheap and nasty SR Suntour Raidon R shock, previously this was the lower end but quality RockShox Monarch R. The front fork remains the same from previous years models with a SR Suntour XCR...
