Electric bikes: Fitting Bafang M500 (torque sensor) into Shimano frame

Fitting Bafang M500 into Shimano frame

Since it's harder to find Bafangframes for sale this looks promising! This looks like an adapter for fitting Bafang motors into Shimano frames! Kim Womack is developing. 

About the M500: 95 Nm of torque it delivers consistent, powerful and efficient support. Two speed sensors and a torque sensor ensure perfectly-tuned and sensitive power output. Lightweight (3.4kg) system.

"Something about to become reality. It involves Shimano-frames and certain chinese motors" - K. Womack

Hope it will feel tight and sturdy enough, we will see when this hits the market. Nice to see that the Bafangmotor is smaller than the Shimanos and therefor can be adapted. 

Pictures from K. Womack. Thanks.



K. Womack: "I designed custom plates to make it fit."
