Dengfu E10 frame & Bafang M500 Motor

(1/3) > >>

Sitar_Ned:
I've been waiting for a long time for there to be a good option in the open mold Chinese carbon E-Bike frame category and a powerful but budget E-Bike motor that will fit it and I think I've found it. Came across this guy's video on YouTube and thought I would share it here for inspiration. I think I'll use this build as a template for an E-bike build of my own sometime this year. Excited to see this space develop and grow and present even more affordable options.

As the title says, the frame is a Dengfu E10 (a bit too much travel for my needs, actually). Link to Dengfu E10: http://m.dengfubikes.com/index.php?s=/230.html
And the E-Bike motor is the Barang M500, which from what I see so far has really good user reviews. Here's the product page for the M500: https://bafang-e.com/products/motors/m-series/m500/ and the product page to the rest of Bafang's M series motors: https://bafang-e.com/products/motors/m-series/

Video of the Chinese E-Bike build:



I'll update the thread if I move forward with the frame/build. Looking forward to hearing what you all think.

Saw that video a couple of days ago, damn nice looking frame and paint job. I also read a comment on the video that they wont sell it to North American market, hopefully hes wrong or they change their mind when they see all the people coming from the video wanting to buy.

carbonazza:
Just a good feedback about Bafang's motors.

We had an old Trek city bike in the garage.
And installed this summer an older model BBSHD(1000w :o ) on it.
Very easy installation with a Stormey-Archer 3 speed hub.
I kept the default 25km/h speed limit, and removed the throttle as it reached 60km/h and would kill my kids( that love the bike ).
And we now use it regularly instead of the car when it is not raining.

Looks amazing, would love to try one. Can the frame motor and battery be bought from dengfu?

Oh really, I didn't catch that. If it is true, surely it's just a matter of time before Dengfu or another company offers it to the U.S. market. I'll contact them and find out.
