  • you reckon? even with 'high' torque EP8? Or the gen 4 Bosch stuff?

    My fear is bafang failing on me, its a bike we (as a family) cannot live without, primary mode of kid transport.

  • Bafang is 160nm of torque, almost twice as much as Bosch or shimano. I’ve been riding a gen 4 Bosch recently and my colleague has an old bafang mid drive bolted onto an old jump bike, literally cruises away from me up hill. All the bafang bits seem to be readily available if they need parts as well.

  • fair enough, I will hold fire!

    My bafang is only 350w mind.

  • Are you looking about twice a much weight on the motor for bafang? (Although I guess this becomes pretty insignificant compared to torque gained)

    I’m now considering a manual bullit conversion. Want to try a Bosch machine as soon as I can
