Markhor Rocket

[Adam1]

Hi, just thought I'd share this one. Bafang M500 with 840w/h battery. I've gone with microshift acolyte. Shifts well. Still sorting out cable lengths.

Looks similar to the Cheeb mtb. Just made of aluminium.

I bought the frame / motor / battery from sam at plusebikes.

This seems very interesting to me. I like alloy more than carbon. This model doesn't seem to be popular on here, though. Does it have some flaws? How does it ride? Anything unique about the build? Is it much heavier than the carbon bikes? Online it says 71 degree seat tube angle. Is that correct?

I will build this bike next week, i will keep your guy update.

Looking forward to it. Did it come somewhat assembled, or did you just get pieces? I see the Markhor website sells a kit they claim is 90% assembled.

Mine came with the motor installed in the frame. It was nicely packed in foam, in a huge box.

Was the wiring to the controller and battery installed also? Or do you need to do all of that?

There's three color frameset can be order.

No, factory will not send without the decals but if you want to make your custom decal. You can make it due to the decals are stick on the top of the locque.

Dose Markhor have a Bafang M510 motor option?
On there website it only shows M500, M600 and M620, I don't think Bafang offers the M500 motor anymore just the M510.
