Does anyone know what mounting hardware this frame requires for the rear shock and a Rockshox shock?

32MM top and 22mm bottom

glad i found this forum.  Just ordered the black one without stickers.  Looks like it will be a little wait to arrive.

Converting frame from this recent build.

Received my Himalo frame in 19" for 29" today 
Still need to order a few items but will start the build of the bike soon

Just for info, the spec of the Hanger are not the same as the one for the Scoot
From what I've seen there (Left Himalo, Right Scott):



Our hanger are more close to the " ICAN X-GRAVEL Vitus"

Thank you for that info. Would love if there was a modular replacement to allow horizontal dropouts for my Alfine IGH.

[Hman32]

Marcram, why putting horizontal Drops on a full ?
You will still need a chaine/belt tensioner, but you will have to check if your axe is compatible with the width of more than 148mm (Boost) and the holes of 12mm

[marcram]

Rear axle width should be fine, but the axle cant rotate,so need to engineer some way to fix it.  Ill post my solution once settled.

after 5 months,  Himalo finally sent the replacement parts I need!

Still waiting on my frame to arrive.

Yikes. That's pretty bad. Even by Aliexpress standards.

[Hman32]

Took one month for me but I've finally finished the build



Still need to fix a few minor things but it's ready to ride

[MTBKeo]

after 6 month, they sent the replacement and some spares!

Did you have to remove this plate to install the motor.  My BBS02 isn't sliding on, so guess I may have to remove it.

The motor definitely dangles low. Makes for a bit of a low break-over angle. But with respect to things that have all-tires off the ground like jumps, or general comfort street riding - no issues. Can go up and down curbs just fine. I just can't take it over say..... One of those bumps for car parking, or a log in the middle of the trail.

With my current config, I'll top out around 32-33mph on flat. That's with knobby tires and a relatively upright riding position. With my older (smooth) tires, I'd get 34-35mph. That's with the fenders, rack on it, backpack, street clothes. I'm sure I could get closer to 40 if I was riding tucked in and didn't have the other stuff on. But that's not really my use case - I wanted something comfortable I can commute on as well as have some fun.

It's funny that y'all mentioned the cs-rk3. That's the exact hub I'm running, coupled with an 11-50t wide range. Have a gear for every occasion!

No complaints so far with the UPP battery itself, though the included charger should be thrown in the trash. Long story short, there's a diode isolation setup on the charge port (which is good) that is bypassed when the battery is switched on. The charger's output voltage seems to be designed around plugging the battery in with the unit switched off. It outputs 59.5v - which would charge beyond 4.20v per cell. Lifespan wise, the battery seems to be holding up decent. Last time I checked capacity on charge, it was 11.8ish aH out of a rated 13. It's 8 months old. Take that number with a grain of salt though - the last couple amp hours are going to be really depending on how I discharge it / voltage sag when the motor cuts off. I really need a few more months to plot degradation over time. I know you can get actual battery testers. I just don't have one.

Range wise - honestly that's really difficult to say. It's extremely dependent on how it's ridden and how much I pedal. Really just need to familiarize yourself with your own riding style and just do math from there. I hate to give a nothing-answer, but that's about the most accurate I can give. OEMs generally rate their bikes on low PAS under ideal conditions, but that's not necessarily reflective of the real world. I know from my use, I'll range anywhere from ~5wh/mi just casually on a flat trail (which would be 100+mi range) to 50wh/mi if I'm in traffic or riding it like a dirt-bike(which would be like 10 miles of range). Depends on the terrain and my pedaling.


For the HD / 02 - I've not used the bbs02 so I can't speak to that. But the bbshd has been nothing but reliable for me. I have an egg-rider display, so I've tuned it to my preferences regarding power output, street and offroad settings, and battery settings. The HD PAS is cadence based. The 02 is a torque sensor. Cadence is fine if you're going a relatively constant speed, it hasn't bothered me any. It feels a bit more like cruise control set on your gearing. I keep dogging Luna for their ludicrous controller but they guard it quite closely

Wow, I'm happy I found this thread! I just got my frame and I'm building it up. I found that the rear of the frame is skinnier than it should be. I try to put my hub in (normal boost hub), and I have to pry the frame apart about a cm to get the hub in. Has anyone else had this issue? I don't think it is the end of the world, but I am a little worried that it will make the derailleur hanger a tad crooked.
