Not too far stretched, it was intentionally exaggerated.
I think that about 100Nm in bicycle should be totally enough for normal use. If someone is going to use this bicycle only in mountains maybe extra 40Nm will be usefull. We will see.
I have just ordered my M510.
I hope it will be good enough, I have bicycles with CX 4gen, so I will have good comparition.
I was focused on M560, but due to 2 reasons I decided for M510: a) i dont wanna b e a beta tester b) I think that I want to build bicycle, not e-motorbike.
If this is true and applies to all vendors it is NOT funny.... it's even dishonest on the part of the vendors and Bafang :D
Chili said that the engines of the April version are already improved and should be quiet.... but it turns out that they are NOT.
I said some time ago that this is just...
This is a side effect of the volume reduction :-) it is total silent now !
Bravo Bafang ;-)
No kidding perhaps it is a driver-panel issue? Do you use panel from M560 or some else, older?
We agreed here few days ago that it is only marketing for now... and I agree with you that there is no chance to make this engine silent without changing material of the gear.
I think that Bafang sees no other option than to claim that they have done something to improve problem with noise...
There is nothing more than words... silent version, improved version... but noone has confirmed this.
I would like to remind that version from January 2024 was supposed to be quiet.
@Tomblarom has engine produced in 2023.
@_gregor you have from January 2024. Let's compare internal gears and other elements... I'm near sure that everything is the same :-)
