It was due to a loose lockring once on my BBS01B converted bike, a creaking noise. Loose lockring which led to loose bolts. Same solution: Loctite, hasn't happened since. I don't know anything about the M510 - does your bike have a gear sensor? If not, can one be installed? Works great...

Did you try a gear sensor? They're pretty good at solving shifting issues, though the delay when shifting during a steep climb can be annoying.

Well we cured "the noise" some weeks ago, by just dismantling as much as we could, taking a look and reassembling and the noise went away for around 150 miles. Then I loaned it to a friend and after a while the noise came back . . grrrrr So more investigation required. We now think we have...

They use carbon frames in formula 1 cars and formula E. Both give a lot more torque than a 60A ebike controller, and don't seem to break. It's just a question of designing for purpose. A carbon fibre roadbike frame is designed for around 1000w at the crank, and would break if you put a...

Brilliant ! Not many unquantafiable variables in there ! For every day use, the power of the motor is what the sticker says it is. Buy a resonably sized geared hub and put on a label that says ' 250w' and 'Hoofrungdung Motor Corp' on it and enjoy it, 'cos the only thing practically measureable...

Maybe it was, but possibly justified in response to Az.'s earlier post? It would be good if everyone could appreciate that different people have different priorities. That is so whether it is something cosmetic (such as colour of spokes) or more fundamental (how you want to use your bike and...

If I see it correctly, you used xofo-motor? I myself assume to know every single Torquesensor useable for hub-motor ebike on the marked and have tested them all in my private bikes (still are in my office from Thun, Sempu, erider, Ncte and so on). Additionaly, when I visist bikemanufacturer...

speed-signal, PAS-signal, torque-signal all signal come now from the casstette and goes through the white cabel of the standard 9-pin Motorconnector by u-art transmit to the controller. So no change in motorcable connector is necessary but of course a different pcb inside the motor and a...

a torquesensor is for me a must have Item to get a normal bike-riding-feeling. The bottom-braket-sensors make to much trouble in my eyes and the most of them have an old style square-tapered axle:rolleyes: as someone who crack those axle´s easy with my 150kg I have spend a lot of time in...

It's stiff because it can't rotate the shift mechanism in the hub. It's nothing to do with the shifter or cable because they're not stiff when you change up. Every hub gears that I've ever tried, including Nuvinci, were difficult to shift when there's load on the chain. It's normally solved by...

Fair point - I was a bit absolute - I had a cadence sensor bike with a throttle and I used the throttle often at junctions to set off and found it really useful. Now I changed the bike to use a torque sensor and at junctions I have one foot on the ground, push the pedal on the other side and...

Stupid comment

What about when you were conned into having a crank-drive drive motor instead of a hub-motor? That con worked so well that you haven't even figured it out yet.

The following doesn't help the OP, but after noticing clicking and creaking whenever the PAS applied torque, and after a lot of tighting of various bolts and head scratching, I discovered it was coming from the internal hinge mechanism of my folding bike, which hadn't ever been lubricated since...

I own two old rear hub bikes of 2011 vintage, and a 2015 Yamaha crank drive Haibike. I love them all! I have in real terms had less failures on my Haibike, but when I have an issue to fix on the rear hub bikes you can usually easily find generic Chinese spare parts you can buy without breaking...

Water ingress, even a little bit will eventually kill the bearings in your crank drive motor. I am sure this was the cause of the bearing failure on my first Yamaha motor on my 2015 Haibike. I only ever used a hose, but when the bike was new washed it a lot including the motor using a finger...

Thanks Matthew . . washing only involved a light "watering can type head" on a garden hose, just to rinse off the mud, so no real pressure involved. I've also just checked and all the bolts are good My video has now been forwarded to Bafang for their comments.

Did hosing down involve a pressure washer? Hopefully not! I would check crank arms for tightness as well as motor mounting bolts. Pedals as well.

It never fails to amaze me that people just reply to a question and fail to state the law. Remember UK law, 250 watt motor max the 02 bafang is 500 watt ILLEGAL and will mean points on your car driving licence "when" caught, I assume you have researched the UK law ? so is the TSDZ2B lets...

If you are happy with the look of a mid drive kit then in my view the TSDZ2 with its torque sensing system will give you a ride experience more akin to the natural feel you get riding an unassisted bike but with 'bionic legs' (as some people describe the experience). A mid drive kit like the...
