    Bafang M500/M600 Tuning & The BESST Tool

    How are you uploading and replacing your existing controller firmware? I used BESST tool to upload revised firmware and then reboot onto the controller. I can definitely confirm their is a difference between the default 46.3 and the modified version I have posted. Both will show as 46.3 via...

    Bafang M500/M600 Tuning & The BESST Tool

    Hi. 14.6 is a great FW which I have running on my first E10 (I have 4). Sadly the bootloader on motors that run 46.3fw are not compatible with 14.6. I wish they were. I have thought about trying to play around with the bootloader file and edit it but this might risk bricking the controller.

    Bafang M500/M600 Tuning & The BESST Tool

    Hi. The modified firmware drops L1 down to 15% of max and when I look at watts output on my display it shows 100w. The original 46.3 was more like the 350w you mention, hence my request to have this reduced. I also note that others who have tried this version have confirmed the lower power...

    Bafang M560

    Here is a video of the M560m motor noise using throttle. Note that the pedals spin when the wheel is lifted. This does not happen with the M600. The clutch system/engagement must be different. Spinning stops when you hold the pedals. Note also that the usual Bafang chain guard is not fitted...

    Bafang M560 variants 500w?

    Here is a video of the M560m motor noise using throttle. Note that the pedals spin when the wheel is lifted. This does not happen with the M600. The clutch system/engagement must be different. Note also that the usual Bafang chain guard is not fitted. It seems there are now mounts for the...

    Bafang M560

    I have imported 6 E10's with the M600 motor. The first 2 had the steel gears and the last 2 had Peek gears. The steel gear versions got quieter after about 200kms and now I can't tell apart from the Peek gear bikes. The noise level on them all is fine. The M560 on the other hand is extremely...

    E10 with M560 (Slow build)

    Hi. Interested to know how your M560 performs. I just received a new E10 with the M560 500w motor. First test was extremely disappointing. The motor noise is incredibly loud. I would say twice as noisy as my M600. It also makes very strange 'grinding' noise at the point of motor engagement and...

    Bafang M500/M600 Tuning & The BESST Tool

    Hi. I very rarely use the throttle but my sense is that the throttle power varies by setting. For example, I use the throttle to assist with hill starts on L1 & L2 and it is manageable and it works fine. If I use the throttle from standing start on L3 or above I get a error code (21 - I...

    Bafang M500/M600 Tuning & The BESST Tool

    Thanks for the explanation of why firm wares are not 100% compatible across all motors despite the controller hardware having the same designation. I have checked this using a Hex file reader and can see exactly what you describe. Question: can you edit a BIN (Hex) file and change the first...

    Bafang M500/M600 Tuning & The BESST Tool

    Hi. L1 support is set low at 100w max and the ramp up is mild. When you start on the flat in L1 you no longer get the quick support and "too much power" feeling that exists in the original 46.3. L2 at 35% max feels closer to the old L1 power with a bit more torque. For technical trails uphill...

    I have the same controller hardware (FC 3.2) and it uploaded just fine. Strange that we are not experiencing consistent results.

    I have attached the revision earlier in this thread. It is looks like it has set L1 at 15% power and then 35 55 75 100.

    Bafang M500/M600 Tuning & The BESST Tool

    From what I can see using the information access via the display, all 3 of my M600s are the same controller hardware with the description CR X10N.500.FC 3.2 . I will connect the latest motor running the modified 46.3 FW using BESST Pro and see if I have access to the motor parameters and report...

    Bafang M500/M600 Tuning & The BESST Tool

    Besst tool received with a dealer login so I have tried the modified 46.3 firmware. It is certainy changed from the default 46.3. L1 power is now good with maximum 100w output, ideal for low power use on flat trails to conserve battery. L5 was full power but will need to test on my local hill...

    Not yet. I am still waiting for the delivery of the BESST hardware so I can have a go at updating the FW. My request was for the assistance and ramp up provided at L1 to be reduced and max assistance at L5 - as 46.3 seemed very weak at L5. I have a bike with FW 14.6 and this to me is perfect...
