Not wise to buy current M560. Bafang stopped selling them recently and get back to drawing board.
I'll record the sound this weekend.Just share short youtube video about the m560 sound on low and high cadence, and everyone can decide it sound loud or tolerable
I understand it seems that they want to sell off the inventory of the old model 1 first, and then launch the m560?Not wise to buy current M560. Bafang stopped selling them recently and get back to drawing board.
M600 has nylon. Only very first batch of M600 had steel.Does the m600 use nylon gears or metal gears? M560 is an all-metal gear?
Got it, so the M600 is not very noisyM600 has nylon. Only very first batch of M600 had steel.
So the steel gear in the M560 makes a noise different, have you compared it to the M510 motor?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. It seems there are now mounts for the standard chain guards available on Aliexpress.
Clip of M600 (Peek gear from factory) motor noise for comparison. Excuse the dirty bike as finished a big ride through clay and mud earlier that day. Bike was cleaned after filming.
2. I am not a data person, haha, but my friend and I used to ride at the same speed using M600 before. But today I changed to M560. I can keep up with his 5th gear in 3rd gear, but I can easily leave him behind in 5th gear. Far2. Cant be such an difference as motors have same peak power.
You maybe feeling it this way as in M560 is Support level parameter. And I guess on PAS3 is allowed max power 100% (same as on M510). So when you push into pedals (and no need even hard) you getting up to 1000W. I would definitelly set this power levels lower.
3. Delay after stop pedalliny - It is a bug and I dont understand how Bafang can not get rid of this. One firmware has longer delay, other does not. Getting sick of it.
Tested the M560+245 on the mountain today
1. It’s true that the sound is obviously louder than the M600, but I don’t mind it too much.
2. It is much more powerful than the M600. The 3rd gear of the M560 is already approximately between the 4th and 5th gears of the M600.
3. The motor of M600 will stop immediately when the foot is stopped, but the motor of M560 will still move for 1~2 seconds after the foot is stopped. I think it is a bit dangerous.
4. 245 is still easy to see clearly in the sun
5. I don’t know if it’s an illusion or something, but my friends and I traveled the same distance in the same car. My friends used the M600, and I used the M560. At the end of the trip, they had about 20% of the battery, and I still had 35% of the battery.

Please let me know, which fatbike with a M560 did you get? Is it this one?
I am looking for such a frame since forever.
el topo yes it's that of 4leaf it arrives at 24kg and m5608 enginePlease let me know, which fatbike with a M560 did you get? Is it this one?

I'm still stumbling through the "app" and tuning options (M510 in my case). For whatever reason information is rarely forthcoming and you seem to have to guess what may or may not work ..So there is a new revision of the M560 coming?
How does one tune, or rather adjust these motors? Does Bafang now have a working app like with Shimano E800?
I am confused once again by Bafang's weird policy with their products...
Almost. V2 with "Go" and V3 with "Go+". Go+ lets you adjust the settings. You can't adjust in "Go".Thank you for the response.
If I understand the current situation, one should use V3 of the remote and use the older version "Go" (no "+") to have access to these settings, correct?
But adjusting these settings doesn't really work as expected, right?
Also, there seem to be some hardware issues with the motor and they stopped selling it, and are apparently working on a new revision, correct?
My summary is, that not much seem to have changed this my post from 1.5 years ago. Sad.
Thanks for the clarification, I somehow got that wrong.Almost. V2 with "Go" and V3 with "Go+". Go+ lets you adjust the settings. You can't adjust in "Go".
Running it on mine didn't work as expected, but my firmware seems to run defaults outside of the normal bafang settings so that may have caused the issue. Most likely it works fine for most people, there was a video in the M510 thread of adjusting the settings correctly.
Is this still true, would I get old stock by buying an M560 now?Not wise to buy current M560. Bafang stopped selling them recently and get back to drawing board.
