I always forget these packs can handle discharging to lower voltages much better, I used to be into RC car racing where we used LiPo batteries where low voltages from over discharging led to puffed and sometimes burning batteries lol.

I’ve never even ridden my current bike below about 50%, it’s just a BBSHD with a 52v/14ah pack that I usually keep on PAS 1 so I’ve never even approached the cutoff threshold to see what it does. Is the % they show on the display actually matching the total capacity of the battery, or the safe...

I expect this to become their new most popular motor as well. Once more of the updated units get out there and word of mouth travels, I expect there to be a ton of bikes using it, and if there are, we’ll probably see someone come out with a PEEK gear anyway to make it even quieter. Just going to...

Watched the episode and really liked it! One of you guys should do a build with the 971 frame as well, I could see some interest when you were all looking at it in the podcast!

I think almost all bikes do that, it’s both a protection mechanism for the battery so it’s not drawing full current at a very low SOC and a warning do you that you need to get back ASAP because it’s about to die.

For the 2025 models they simplified things (For once!) and all the standard forks are rated for e-bike use now up to a pretty high weight, I think like 300lbs or a little above there, so most of the e-optimized versions will be a thing of the past going forward. Prior to the current lineup...

Yeah it says right on it, 35Nm, hence why he was quoting the matching number from his impact driver.

You would have to re-flash it with new firmware every time you switch, but it should be possible. Just wouldn’t be a fun process to have to constantly be switching.

I don’t think I’ve heard many M600s before they had the nylon gear, is it similar to that now? I suspect the only further reduction in noise will come from someone needing to produce a plastic gear for it. Metal on metal gears inside of a magnesium case pushing the kind of torque this motor is...

While I patiently wait (Another month!) for my frame I decided to give the CushCores a second attempt. Armed with 2 news set of extra strong tire levers, a new bottle of sealant, and some more knowledge after watching some more YouTube videos I was finally able to force them on. I think the...

I don’t know for sure, it may depend if the battery has a BMS all wired up for CAN or is just sending power. Hopefully it would just work as you described, but I don’t know.

Definitely an improvement, and I know what you mean about the amplification by the recording. I was going to do a video of my M560 on the bench and I couldn’t believe how much louder the video made it sound compared to hearing it live in person. The sound in the first one definitely sounds like...

There’s no way to switch in the app or display that I know of. With CAN I’m pretty sure all the voltage stuff isn’t meant to be changed easily, I think it’s hard coded in the firmware. The easiest might be with Dado’s K1 box but I’ll let him comment as to whether that’s even possible.

I hear you, I’m in the process of building my bike right now and specifically chose all performance elite for that very reason lol

If you can scrounge up the extra $100 For the Factory you can get your desired 160mm of travel.

I got one of the new updated 750W versions that I've been dying to try, but my frame keeps getting delayed so all I can do is run it on the bench. Based on what I've seen from updated motors though I'm not too worried about it, they seem somewhat comparable to many of the other motors out there.

I thought the exact same thing after watching that video recently - how in the world did the M560 ever make it into the wild if they actually do all that sound testing. They might as well throw all that stuff away because you can use common sense to know when a motor is ungodly loud lol.

I believe Luna was even using the plastic gear in their crazy over powered Ludicrous tuned X2.5 weren't they?

I was in the “Bafang M500, M510, M560, M600, and M820 Users Group” one. If you search for M560 you can see a handful of posts, there are some videos from a guy named Gary Fuller in a few of the comments where he shows his bike being ridden and it sounds pretty manageable. Still hope we get a...

Nobody knows. It would be nice if they did, but it’ll likely be some 3rd party that does it before Bafang themselves seeing as they literally just released this revised version and it’s still all metal. Watching some of the videos on the Facebook group it really seems pretty reasonable...
