I have a question for @Rob Rides EMTB , have you happened to find smaller/lighter motor and smaller/lighter battery that will fit your E10 frame or other frame that you know of. I weight about 100 lb so I don't need big motor/battery combo. Thank you in advance!

The 17.5" is larger than my Whyte medium. I would be more worried at your height that it would be too big.

Hmm, i ordered a 19" and I am just 1,78 m ??‍♂️. I like bikes with long reach and at the moment i am riding a Rocoy Powerplay in large. What do you guys think?
 
@Rob Rides EMTB @patdam how is the bike performing? Is it really worthy compared against other enduro bikes?

I really love the commencal meta power, the orbea wild and the focus sam2, but a dengfu e10 assembly really saves money.

Doubting if the frame and the motor really performs well
 
Is this the speed sensor?

I would order the 17“. If You are struggling with Your purchase, I think it would be easy to sell the 19“ frame here. Give it to me :)

??? I just asked Melody if it is possible to change framesize. Even they are not yet in production she suggest to not change as my order would then be postponed ?‍♂️. So i just leave the order - think in the end the size will be ok. If not, i let you know ?

..thanks :-) You can use a seatpost with no offset, moving the saddle towards a little steeper seat angle - this woud slightly reduce effective toptube length. With the loooong reach, I think it will give You the confindence of a tank in steep and fast downhill, so I hope it‘s just right for You!
 
Bafang have designed some new M500 firmware to make the motor more powerful and have said they are shipping me some new hardware also. I’ve no idea what the new hardware is.

it’s coming via FedEx priority. Looking forward to testing it out.

"new hardware" is the BESST tool ? rob it is envisageable to share it (to rent ?) for update firware of other user without each one purchase this BESST tool (it seem it usefuel only for update firmware for final customer). May be you can interogate bafang on this subject with help of your "VIP chanel " ? In any case i am curious to your return. i have used mine this morning and i will agree to have more power in max mode (more power provided at less torque on crank arms), but for the 2 other, i am fully satisfied and i appreciate a lot my bike. I have also exchange with melody about the BESST and it have said me that they have ordered one to bafang one month ago and not received

Interesting, luckely the Chinese holiday season just started... few weeks to find out what the firmware does to the motor performance!
Are we (as DIY-ers) able to get the firmware updates and update via BESST tool?

Could you understand if motors that are purchased now do already have installed the new firmware ?? Or how could we "normal" people get alsot hese benefit?

please make a video on youtube
 
Nice! Battery release looks much better. Does it screw directly into the battery now?

Hi Rob I don’t think so when you pull that little switch bit down it just comes off

Ahh great, so quick release plate. Much better than my one that has 4 small allen bolts. Fiddly when you're in the dark / cold / tired!
 
thank a lot, interesting. Same hardware for battery support, but some modifications on assembly. contrary to what melody told me, i think that new battery cover can be used easily on "old" frame. Please can you mesure the height of the cables guides. they have moved one, i do not really see why ?
 
thanks, but the height who interesting me is the height of the guide in compared to frame (sorry for my bad english). Cause that battery is more inserted in enclosure than my old version (spacer on your lower support). Another interogation is about lower battery support. Does it have another fixing point or fulcrums, other than the 2 screws in front face ?
