Anyone have luck with this? Only looking for a pedal assist motor on my Farley. Also don’t need the biggest motor posible.
 
If you're not riding tech with a chance banging the motor the Bafang mid drive units are your economy options

Yeah, I think those first two options are going to be a bit out of the realm of possibility. I’ll definitely be riding in the woods, but nothing technical unless there’s a downed tree which I’ll be smarter about it and actually walk over.
 
Either BBSHD 100mm or BBS02 with 100mm conversion to save 3lbs. Lifting ebikes over downed trees gets really old though.
 
I'm also considering a rear hub build this winter. Have all the parts just need to build the wheel. Though I'm not sure what's available for 190 or 197mm. Mine is just a plain QR 29r with studded Nokians.

Now that’s the way to go. But why carbon? Just shoots the price sky high for a rigid bike.

I have this, but not really a fan right now. Currently troubleshooting an E914 error with the Shimano EP801 motor. From what I read online, there isn't a specific fix other than swapping out parts and hoping for the best.

If you want to sell, lmk. I’ve had good ep8 luck, so that’s unfortunate.
