oh my word ..this 20.8 fw is a GEM. This is what I have been waiting for after trying all the fw from 46.7, 46.8 and 14.6. The power distribution is similar to 46.8 drawing about 4A at PAS1/9. No brutal ramp up of 10A as detected in 46.8. It has a slight ramp, I believe about 5-6A just sufficient for a slight push when stomping the pedal. Range is marvelous possibly better than 46.8 as there is no overun when pedalling is stopped. This is very usable for technical trails with roots, ruts and severe undulation. No sudden lunging or wheelie when press hard duri ng pedalling transition. I would urge those who does hardcore technical riding to upload 20.8 on your M600. It will probably give the M510/M500 13A or possibly the latest Bosch a run for its money. Sadly, this will not be suitable if your rides are mostly fireroad, tarmac, commuting, pulling a sledge, touring and other similar mild terrain. Use 46.7 instead.

As I have said, I only use the bike for technical rides..which means staying at either Pas 1 or 2. Anything beyond is unrideable. As for low battery attenuation, I haven't taken it that far before as range is not important to me. I only ride a max 20-25km per ride. Perhaps you can try it out yourself.
it's on the M600 github for firmware

A question about m500 firmware: what is the difference between the two 10A firmware(2015.5 VS 2050.6). The first one is stock and feels kind of sluggish.. How does the other one compare to it? Currently using 12A and I like the snappiness of it(comparing to 13a) but I would like level1 to be more power efficient - sometimes doing really long rides...

why this version?
make sure you turn off the firewall
Hello,
please could someone expain to me how does the version naming works?
For eample in GitHub I see this firmware:
CRX10NC3615i142059.6-28-2230-20201218.bin
If I try to split the name into fragments:
CRX10NC - some commont prefix
36 - volts
15 - amps
i142059 - ? (maybe needs to be split more)
.6 -?
-28 -?
-2230 - ?
-20201218 - date of release
Does enybody understand to that unknown fragments?
Currently in bike I'm using version CRX10NC3615i142017.7.
My question is if my current version is odler or newer than CRX10NC3615i142059.6-28-2230-20201218.bin?
(does enybody know where I could download my current firmware - CRX10NC3615i142017.7 - to have a backup?)
Thank , Petr

Hi, I just update my M500 36v with CRX10NC3615i142017.5-28-2230-20200519-2.bin (Leader Fox stock firmaware) and it is amazing!!
I'm gettting 850w peak. 20A.
I hope that I will not burn out the controller
. But as it is stock firmware, should be OK!

Are you sure thats its 20A as 36V x 20A = 720W's

Thats right in among Bosch Brose territory. 
Ok, so we did about 25km today and I must say that the bike is much more powerful! I love it! Max peak was really about 840W! The feeling is now very similar to Yamaha that I use to have!
What is really strange, is that I had almost the same battery consumption as my wife with stock 15A firmware ( the same bike, the same M500, even though my wife is 30kg lighter than me). When we got home I had 78% battery left, my wife had 79% of battery left! That is pretty cool. I was very afraid that the consumption will be increased significantly, but no!
Tomorrow I will have to upgrade my wife's bike as she was angry that she couldn't chase me

.. fully charged 36v battery is about 42v... so 42*20... 840W - so it was probably not 850W peak.. something aroud 840-850W (i have DC241 display and it is hard to read it on the sun
Correction - that math is not correct. You need to distract voltage sag cca 3V to 4V and for 15A controller ovetshooting to 20A is too much.
So it is more like 38.5x18 = 693W
Anyway there exist 36V and 17A firmware for M500.

I've just broken the handlebar strap on my DP241 display. I think its a common break and someway back in one of the threads was a repair for it, can anyone remember where or what it was. Thanks

Bafang DPC241 display clamp broken :( but now fixed! :)
Thought I would make a quick post with regards my DPC241 display bracket failure / fix... During a night ride last week (where the temperature was less than zero degrees) I noticed my display was not 'sitting' right and on further inspection found that the handle bar clamp had cracked through...

I have to laugh at that, in a nice way of course, but you may want to look up the word "pregnant".
Thanks I'll PM my Email.
it is for a 35mm handlebar

Attaching M600 firmware 43V 25A - up to 1300W with 48V battery!!!
->Be careful it is overheating, when u hold full throttle for few mins.
->Throttle has 1s delay when u not pedalling (Bafang what are you doing there!? Was it a purpose? )
->At 20% it shut down and then when I power on motor again it was showing only 1%. (Could be either motor went hard cut off or my battery BMS triped - with no load I measured 39V ) - which is good, as you would drain battery till the end.
