Bafang M630 Thread

[Mabman]

I am not seeing any advantages for mtb use? Bigger, wider Q factor and heavier than the M620 stick out?

This thread hasn't seen much activity sadly, I found this video showcasing the 1000w m630 vs the m620 in hand. Sadly though no 1500w model and it was labeled 48v, was really hoping we would see the jump to 60v (and considering bafang made firmware and hardware support for it on the m620 this seems like a no brainer). I also hope this means @Neeko DeVinchi might finally be able to start sharing more with us

from all official documents clarify that its peak power comes to 1500w only.

I agree. The m620 already has more than enough torque and speed. It also has a more progressive curve based on the comparison graphs.

The m630 might be best suited to cargo bikes or bikes pulling a trailer coupled with the matched 5 speed auto.

"The m630 might be best suited to cargo bikes or bikes pulling a trailer coupled with the matched 5 speed auto."

Which to be fair it seems was their intention?

As an M620 owner I do agree that it has more than enough torque for bicycle rated components but it does amaze me sometimes at what it will climb as long as I can maintain traction. I am not as concerned with the downhills as any bike can do those

Yes but I want to know where the 1500w rated model is, as surely that one will peak higher

Yes I believe the m630 was intended for that purpose. I have the 60volt version of the m620 which goes well.

Also saw something about 1200W nominal, so can be like 1800W peak.

there shall not be such a model so far.

It looks like they sell Bafang m630 already (or maybe it is just preorder). Anyone tried it? Anyone compared the internals like gears, stator and rotor with m620? I'm wondering how mush power this motor can handle comparing with m620 if I install custom controller there

Are there any custom controllers, that focus on a smooth(-er) ride experience, over raw power? Since the Demise of Innotrace, I haven't seen anything in that regard, but maybe I am wrong?

Have there ever been Chinese clones, of that Innotrace controller?

She's hheeerrreeeeeeeeeeee! The 1500 watt version.

Innotrace controller is open source VESC controller traced on the custom PCB to fit the motor case. I am surprised noone else do their version of VESC controller specifically for Bafang motors considering it is not that difficult for a knowledgeable person (or for not so knowlegable 3 persons, a mechanican engineer to develop the shape of the custom PCB with mounting hardware to fit the motor case, an electrical engineer to trace the VESC scematics on the PCB and a firmware engineer to get the thing works with particular sensors of the motor particular way and adopt the VESC firmware for this particular setup, but each task is not diffcult). Luna Cycle is the only other one I know currently does custom VESC controllers for other Bafang motors but not for m620 or 630.

I haven't had any issue with smooth & proportional ride experience, since calibrating the baseline on the torque sensor (came set at 0Mv, which is never correct; resulted in very jumpy starts & tiny torque sensing range) & spending at least a dozen sessions test-riding then tuning, the Slow Start & torque response at each (¿motor?-)speed range & keep\decay\delay settings.

The tuning is of course highly specific to my ebike's build, my weight, gear ratios, display type, etc... but now that it's done, it rides as smooth & responsively as any high output ebike I've tried; comparable to a Bosch but with loads more power, frankly.
