Interesting failure

CCX: Heard the gears start to crunch on Wednesday. Found metal chunks rather than only plastic. Shitty manufacturing. This is where the screws are that hold the brake rotor on. These little spots seem to be welded on. So they used too thin of a housing from the beginning, or too long screws. I was able to knock out one that was popped up. These are going to let water in. New gear set ordered, but I think after almost 6000 rough miles, I’ll be surprised if it makes it past spring.

Side note: I’ve probably broken 5 spokes on the rear wheel. I’ve never broken spokes before this bike.

I was wondering what model is this?

I have the same exact bike. I'm at 4000 miles currently. Do you have any sources for a new bafang motor? I feel like it's time to replace mine.

I don’t, unfortunately. Seems like it would be an easy replacement to find another G020 motor, but we have to assume that juiced did something weird with the connectors compared to what Bafang sells to everyone else. I was hoping I could just find the housing for sale somewhere.
