Can you guys please provide us with the serial number of your motor ? Thanks in advance!
Dengfu E10 / Bafang - Buying/Pricing

There are a few numbers on the motor, it's not obvious which is the serial number. There's some on the underside of the motor and some on the underside on one of the fins on the side of the motor. Do you know happen to know which is the serial number? I asked melody if I would receive the latest iteration of the Bafang and she assured me I would...

There are 2 numbers engraved below the motor.
The top line is the motor model (MM G520.250.C 19 for the M500 48V) and the bottom line is the serial number, probably 13 numbers...

When did you receive your motor?

I received my motor this week and it seems the spec is different. It seems that mine has a different speed rating or speed limit...it is rated at 18A vs the earlier version of 10A. It is also rated at 500W. Or is this just an M600 vs M500 case?

Yours seems to be the same spec as mine. 500W.
You and I have the M600, thaeber has the M500. Different motors that both fit the E10 frame. You can choose which you want to have when you order.

3 Weeeks ago, ordered Feb. 23rd. Today I received the DPD Trackingnumber from Melody for Frame and Battery.

Ah so your battery will come together with the frame? If I remember correctly you made your order in early Feb right? I hope mine arrives before I go abroad in June. No one will be there to receive the package if it arrives after June 12th! At least from your case there will be some sort of tracking number...

As written above, ordered Feb. 23rd. I received 2 Trackingnumbers, Frame and Battery will be shipped sepreately. I asked Melody for a status update yesterday, she replied with the Trackingnumbers. I doubt that You will receive the shipping status info without asking from time to time

Bafang cranks (top) Luna X1 cranks (bottom)
Took 7 days from order to arrival from Luna (to UK) - no duty to pay (although I have been caught by this from Luna before when I bought a couple of chainrings from them)
Not tried them yet as I haven't got frame or battery yet, but will post findings when I do.
One point I did notice is that the paint / anodizing appears to go into the thread on the Luna ones, so the threads might need clearing with a tap first.
- Bafang - 170mm / 571g
- Luna - 150mm / 462g

Other than the Luna crank arms, are there any other aftermarket crank arms that are compatible with the Bafang motors? Are the Bosch crank arms compatible with the Bafang motors?

Going on what I read on the forums it's not a standard ISIS spline, which is very annoying. Maybe it's a licensing issue or bafang just want to sell more cranks. I read somewhere lekkie were thinking about doing some, but nothing on their site yet.

Can anyone tell us from what firmware number on we are talking about the "new" m500 with the soft- and hardware update Rob mentioned ?

No, unfortunately not. But I can tell You from the engine number on Your motor, that the motor was No. 37 build on February 23rd, 2021. My motor was build same day, No. 27. So I assume the motors are flashed with the latest firmware.

Snap! Mine arrived today too. I notice that you don’t have a hole for the battery charging socket? Did you go for the standard 840wh battery?
Afifz

I received mine today too! Overall it seems like a decent piece of kit. My only gripe would be the not so perfect fit of the battery cover. I have yet to receive my battery though. I hope it'll arrive soon. I will probably start priming it for painting now.

I can see on Rob’s and Patdam’s bikes that it’s above the motor. I assume they’ve moved it to avoid water ingress?
