Ever wonder how much the big Bafang M620-160Nm weighs? Yeah, it's heavy!😁

I had to pull my motor in order to change out my dropper post cable housing. Just for kicks I thought I would weigh my monster Bafang M620 motor. Also, I had my digital scale handy.

Yep, it's damn heavy = 17.97 lb wet weight (minus chain ring/spider, cranks, and pedals.of course). It's designed for fat bikes, tricycles, and cargo bikes. On the plus, it's the most quiet and smoothest Bafang motor I own. I have the M600-120Nm and the super small/light M820-75Nm. In 2019, this came with my first emtb, a full suspension Dengfu E06 fattie.

Yep it’s the “Big Block” of e-bike motors. I have the 60 volt version in my Frey Beast.

Got a pic of your Frey?

Early pic and second pic is when I installed a 48T chainring instead of the 40T that came with the bike.

Yes it is aptly named. Big motor, big battery and great range. Certainly not agile but still an awesome ride - love it.

How big is your battery and range?

I have a little (by today's standards) 600W and I'll carry a spare 600 Wh if I'm going over 30 miles on singletrack.

1470 Wh battery. Don’t know the exact range as I have never reached the limits - I know it’s an easy 100 - 120 klms.

Edit

The Australian dealer I bought it off claims range of 200klms in Eco and half that in Boost.
