After some 3000 km, this mid-drive motor is grossly overdue for some maintenance. I can see the specks of eroded metal mixed in the dark, gunky remains of whatever factory grease they used in here.

I don’t know where locally to get the Mobilegrease 28 that everyone recommends, but I did find some high-temp white lithium from the auto store. But just removing the old grease has already consumed half a roll of paper towel. And I can’t exactly dunk a motor into gasoline as degreaser.

I’ll carry on wiping.

    I have a dual-battery Bikonit MD750, but I really wouldn’t recommend it as it’s an older design (circa 2022) mid-drive ebike. There are newer models that have the same (or more) power while being lighter and quieter. My particular use-case was to have as much endurance as possible, hence the dual-batteries.
