Light Carbon LCES004 E Bike Build
« on: June 04, 2021, 10:54:03 AM »
Got this framing coming to build an emtb for my dad

trying to get the parts together before the frame get here.

link to frame
https://www.lightcarbon.com/new-lightcarbon-enduro-full-suspension-ebike-frameset-designing-for-bafang-motor_p150.html

185*55mm trunnion mount rear shock

will a X-Fusion O2 Pro RLX work with this frame?  .
a buddy has one he took off a scott genius that he was willing to give me

there is also a FOX NUDE EVOL off a 2021 scott genius that i found at a good price if that will work too?

both have the same eye to eye length and stroke. im asking because i noticed that a fox float that came off a trek wouldnt fit because the width at the trunnion mount was about 14mm smaller and wasnt sure if it would be the same for the ones coming off the scott genius as i couldnt find the info online

thanks in advance for any help!

Frame came in today. Looks really good. It was very nice dealing with Carol from light carbon and shipping was super fast. Got the frame in California in a little over a week. Ordered may 25th, and it was shipped May 29.

Nice, looks good. Looking forward to seeing the build.

Your build thread is down here in the Ebike section where there isn't much traffic currently. If you want me to, I can temporarily move your thread to the 29er section, and that may give you more answers to any questions you may have.

This is serious machinery.
What motor will you put in ?

Thank you for trying this!

Oh yea, that would be very helpful just while I'm building it. Thank you!

I ordered a bafang m600 motor for the frame and a 600wh btf04 battery. They're going to take some time getting here  though so I have a couple months to gather the rest of the parts.

I contacted cnebikes through their website for the motor.

Okay, Snacks... temporarily moved the thread to a higher traffic area. Hopefully, you'll get more assistance with your build here, if you need it. Let me know if I can help you with anything else and good luck with the build!

Just the ebike section really, as it is so new and there isn't much there yet.
