wont fit as totally different.


old motor was 60nm the cx is 75nm, and gen4 motors are now 85nw but they wont fit the frame as different mounts.
Everything Bosch is a ripoff! They don't do cheap. Sell your Haibike while it's condition is good, then get the Bafang ETM kit and a secondhand mountain bike, to make a ebike which is cheaper to buy replacement parts for?

With the extra torque of the ETM, you could replace the front chainwheel with a 60T and go faster than that (probably), which is something I was thinking of doing. There's even a 80T.

Does the G510 have to talk to the battery etc. through a proprietary Bafang protocol, like the Bosch systems do?

The etm will blow if you go above a 52 t and run it hard as soon as you remove the 15.5 mph limit its no longer legal
The newer bafang use canbus and need a dongle or different software

if you want fast buy a bbshd 160 nm standard and with the 30 amp mod 1700 watts

the small chain ring is 2.5 reduction so in normal size it would be a 53t. and 10 at the rear.

the gen 4 motors now use normal size chain rings.

I'm amazed that doesn't blow up at 35mph.

1700 watts would get me killed, fast. I think that's deffo Soundwave's patch! I stick to boring UK legal - the one time I derestricted my bike, it was frightening and far too much fun! Everything fun is illegal... well, nearly everything ;)

every one said that at the start ie dongles blow up motors lol yet all they do is remove the speed limit.

s class bosch motors are the same inside the only difference is they cut out at 28mph.

my dongle cuts out at 36.5mph so it is pretty much geared to that speed but would be classed a r,race pedelec under law.

There's no way you'd ever be happy with anything less.

68kg it would rip my frame in half with 210bhp at the back wheel.

My BBS01b does great with 52T (to 11T), but I only use highest gear when I have high cadence - I'd gamble a 60T on a ETM... if the controllers were about the same price as they are for the BBS01b.

What you want with a highly illegal motor like that on an ebike, is for all the parts which make it more than a 250W, to eject off at the sound of a police siren...
