Hi,
   Any idea if Park Tool PPL-2 grease is safe to use on ebike motors??

I'm replacing a motor and it seems a little dry. Ace, Souther States, Walmart and Tractor Supply all have no compatible grease in stock. The local bike shop was kind enough to give me a tablespoon worth of Park Tool PPL-2 (Same as PPL1, but in a tub instead of tube). it's a thick'ish dark green grease.

I'm leaning toward ordering something I know to be correct, but maybe I'm being over concerned.

Thanks for any suggestions or advice!

Hi,
   I installed a 750w OEM drop in 2 days ago  on my Mini 4 that I upgraded to the 35a control and KT-LCD8H display last year. Never got more than 22.2 on flat ground with PAS or throttle using the 500. Expected close to 28 with the 750 installed, but only getting 24.8. Tested with a few speedometer apps and the seems to be accurate. Torque seems about the same. Climbing my street is now at 20mph where the 500 was 14-15mph so there's definite improvement, but I'm wondering if I should have bought a Bafang 750 instead of the OEM.

Should I be getting more top speed?

Top Speed:
500 - 22.2mph
750 - 24.8mph

Thanks for any ideas or suggestions.

Hi,
I'd like to extend the display cable for better routing. The 5 pin extensions I've tried don't fit with the Rad display...on either end. They seem close, but don't connect.

Is there a 5 pin extension that is compatible with Rad? Or am I looking at soldering?

Thanks
