This new M510 motor is really strong! Looking forward to sharing the next video! ps - this is a new frame, not the same one I did before. DENGFU revised the frame slightly (new charging port location and new battery cover that is quick release. Looks similar as they painted it THE EXACT same colours from my last video! Also, motor is the 2022 Bafang M510).

Thats 23.98kg with a 840wh battery!! That is lighter than my old carbon trek Powerfly which only had a 500wh battery. You might be able to put a smaller 400wh battery and get down to a sub 20kg bike with a few other mods.

Honest question: If you order a Shimano drivetrain from Aliexpress, how can you be sure that it is not a fake Shimano drivetrain? Interesting build btw!

In this day and age of £12k+ bikes I find builds like this really refreshing. Especially as this is a much more affordable price range for me and makes the prospect of owning an E-MTB more likely! I'm looking forward to seeing your video of it being ridden.

Loved the CHEEB. So glad you went for V2. This has to be one of your most popular videos. I only wish you had full parts list and an extended build video so an idiot like me can build by numbers 😂

Kudos to you Rob for showing us the Dengfu / Bafang combo again. You could have stuck with the major brands and milked it. Well done mate. Super keen for the next video.

Nice. You don't even need a headset bearing press. If you freeze the bearing cups. And use a gentle amount of heat from a heat gun or hair dryer on the frame. Then the differing thermal expansion rates let the bearing cups slip right into the frame. I did it exactly like that on my dengfu e22 (basically an e10 with a bigger motor).

Once again great work Rob .. I built one up after your original videos with an M600 .. awesome bike!!

Best Part About this Bike is the quality choice of real mountain bike parts and components. Not only that but you smartly choose high quality parts at good prices. Most pre-built Bafang Powered bikes out there are running a junk spec on drivetrain, brakes, wheels and tires. Well Done, I would love to see follow up reviewing this motor vs. other Bafang Motors like the BBSHD, Bafang Ultra, etc.

great video nothing more satisfying than building your own bike.cant wait for the ride review

Awesome 👌 Thanks for a stunning ebike build pro demonstration. Looking forward to your test review of this ebike 👍😁

Great stuff! Looking forward to more content about this build

What happened to the ride video on this?

Same colour as the swordfish TVR! Love it!

I got one E-ten with the M600 and Formula Selva C for the front, I tell you it is a beast. Amazing bike, compare to what others brands do and price wise...clearly Dengfu is a pearl you need to think of when you move to e-mtb.

Just wanted to let you know that you inspired me to do my own build like this. Unfortunately dangfu didn’t have a xl frame other wise it would be a totally similar build. I was able to find another company and just finished. Thanks for the inspiration. By the way I named it CDIY.

Impressive build Rob, well done 👏🏼

What a mint looking bike, looking forward to your next video Rob.👌🏻

That thing looks awesome. Great job and inspiring stuff.

Really like this vid. Fired me up to build my own E-Bike. Thanks Rob.

Yet another great e bike build 👌🏾. Beautiful ✌🏾

Im tempted to build one after seeing this… well done on the super build !!

Looking forward to the test ride, you have really got me thinking now.

Oh heck yeah boy! Nice job. Great video, absolutly can't wait to see the ride video.

Brilliant video Rob, thank you.

Great job on engineering & developing such a great usable product looking forward to changing my ENG PRO 2 when you restock your supply.

This seems like the perfect solution for me! I would only need the frame, electronics and suspension. I could just take the rest from my polygon T7 and complete the bike! Easily under $3k, maybe even $2500 if I find good deals on the suspension!

As always Rob, You've done well with your build 👍🏿 You caught me off guard with the weight of your xl E10. Mine with the M510 is around 24.4kg. Anywho, keep up the great vids dude. I'm always watching 👍🏿

Great vid, Rob! The Cheeb looks sweeeeet!

Can't wait to see more! I'm buying one of those, going straight to Aliexpress 👍🏼

great job, bike looks a banger!

Well done Rob, great video.

A lot of people overlook Deore, but those 4-piston brakes are really, really good.

Really enjoyed this video. Was thinking of assembling a new bike myself. Hoping to complete the components over time. Was hoping u could do a video on a build using the new integrated drives (motor and gearbox) and or systems like the Valeo, Olli or Reventon One paired with a carbon drive

Thanks for the inspiration! I'm seriously thinking about rebuilding my hardtail carbon framed bike to a ebike with a befang kit, but it's scare when you have no idea of what you are doing, hehe

When are you going to drop an update video for this build (and motor specifically)? I think a lot of us are very curious of the differences. Also curious on your thoughts of building a bike like this versus buying an similarly priced entry level spec bike from a dealer with a good support network (Ex. Orbea Rise H30). Keep up the good content.

Excellent video Rob of course , thank you .Rob when can we expect to see Test videos ?

Wooo interesting very tempted to try this out for my self

GUAUUU, Super Nice Emtb!!!

Love to see the testdrive!

Helpful video - figured I need to build my own commuter e-bike to get what I want - a decent but not necessarily very powerful mid-drive motor, large battery, Rohlhoff E14 belt-driven hub, large enough ring to cog ratio to be able to reach 30 mph at maintainable cadence. ...and all this should be in a full suspension frame with 29" wheels and hydraulic brakes...

This was absolutely incredible and super inspiring! After watching this I certainly want to build my own e-bike. However, I want a road bike, not a mountain bike. Thanks a million for this!

Soo good rob Do you have any chances of an in depth build video? Would love to watch that

I love the idea of this bike. However, I am wary of the way I would have to go about contacting and then paying for the frame. Also I would love to have some specs on the frame. Headtube angle and bearing sizes, Seatpost angles and size. Rear shock dimensions..etc...

Fun to watch you build this one! Liked your comment “like LEGO”

Looks great cannot wait to be able to afford one :)

I bought both my motorcycles for $3500 each and they will just last so much longer, better, faster, etc. that was back in 2006 when i realized there was no comparison, even till this day. but I love this video and how far technology has come!

Nice bike👌 God job👏

Good job showing an alternative way to get a eBike. Not so fast on the most powerful eBike......I have one of the original Bafang motors that outputs 160Nm of Torque. My battery is 52 volt 1100Ah....all put in an Luna Cycle Apollo...I love the bike for all it can do.

This is great! But, come on Rob. Where's the test ride vid? I'm really interested to see what you think of the M510.

I've had mine since Rob did his original Cheeb build. I love it. With 150mm fr & rr and the more powerful M600 motor, it's a beast that I highly recommend 🤙

What a cool and beautiful built.

Great video rob! Could you make a video about the bafang conversation kit? Im wondering if I could transform my polygon t8 to emtb.

Hey great videos! I can't find the E10 frame It looks way much better then the rest. Where did you buy the frame?

Could be a great option for someone who already owns a regular mountain bike, and looking to go the e bike route. I know not all components are compatible, but you could try and by just the frame, motor and battery, and repurpose most of your current components. Do you know if they have frames for different wheel sizes, and for different suspension travels?

Thx for this great vid! But i am asking myself, what will happend if you have a warranty issue?

Love watching your videos can you tell me how tall are you? I would love to build one of these. I’m 5 foot 11 and don’t know whether to go for a large or XL frame?

Nice choice rob😁👍❤️

Looking forward to the ride test👍 Do you know if this frame takes the m620 motor?

Hi Rob. I'm currently looking for my 1st emtb but I must admit with prices rocketing I don't see much value in what is around right now. Love this project and video. My main concern with a build project would be the wiring and internal routing. 2 questions please. 1. How did you find the wiring of the controller to the battery and motor etc? 2. What is that little tool you use for grabbing the ends of the cables and pulling them through please? Cheer. Ryan

Does the motor have the 25kph limiter on it?

So excited for the ride review and performance testing of this bike! Any thoughts on when it might be out, or why it isn't?

Hey Rob looks great, keen to emulate that here in Australia for my own bike. how do we order the frame and that colour is just sublime.. (everything else i can get here easily)

It looks pretty good ngl but what one thing has me thinking. Is the rear travel actually gonna be used? The frame's pretty tight and it doesn't look like it can withstand a 150mm travel on the rear because of the linkage. You might crash that rear linkage into your main frame if you use too much travel.

Looks better than most hope you do a long term test

Hi Rob. What’s the option of fitting something more powerful and not having to pedal it as well.

The Cheeb lives ! Long live the C H E E B ! ! ! Great video, great bike - your DENG FU is strong ...

Amazing video, bike and i love the motor! Please share sources. Thank you.

Hi Rob how bike is preforming? I’m Thinking go to your shadow process but I’m beginner of putting bike together. And the biggest question how you choose all the sizes to fit for me. For example frame size. I’m live in Leeds

Sooo good!

Hi Rob, May I ask you? How long needs the hose for the rear brake for the XL frame? I want to build the same bike but buy used set of brakes. Thank you

Very nice! I have two Deng-Fu mountain bike frames with Bafang M600 motors. One has 3000 miles and the other 1200 miles. Both of them technical trail and gravel road riding. I think the M600 has more power than the M510? Also, I have 14S Samsung battery pack and 52 volt battery. Both bikes are Luna X1's. I tried to get a Deng-Fu frame and build one but Deng-Fu will not sell to US and Canada. Luna has an exclusive with Deng-Fu. No big deal, I really like my Luna X1's. Thanks for the excellent build video

nice...tho, think i'd have it in white, or maybe red... but I'm not too sure about the black rear linkage - looks like it's made of plastic?

This is YouTubing on the high level. Great job Rob

Hi Rob , great project and a fantastically produced video. Much appreciated. You say this is an Dengfu E10 but I can’t see that frame available on their website and the other frames seemed to have seriously jumped up in price.
