Title: Szzs CEF55 - Bafang M820 ebike
Post by: Tom.Stevens.ADL on March 19, 2026, 05:39:24 AM
Just wondering if anyone could give any feedback on either SZZS (Shenzen Zhaosheng carbon fibre technology), the CEF55 frame or the Bafang m820.

Looking to bite the bullet on The purchase but just wanted to do a final check on the whole setup

There's dedicated part of this forum for e-bikes at the bottom ;)

been interested in electric bikes for years (not MTB). If you look at a frame, make sure you can source the matching motor and battery at a good price, because usually, you can't. Also, it's lithium, so import shenanigans are a completely different ball game. Whenever i looked at something, the MOQ was high, the seller was unwilling / unable to provide the hardware and so on.
Afaik, it hasn't become easier or cheaper.
Also, there are several instances where an OEM advertised a frame to then take it offline because a company bought exclusivity rights, so there's absolutely stuff behind an information / connections wall.
