Bafang has introduced its new M510 mid-motor, the successor to the M500.
The torque of 95 Nm is the same as the M500 but the overall torque curve of the M510 is higher than that of the previous model. This is noticeable with the high cadence support of 120 rpm, said Bafang.
To further push this efficiency of the power increase, the rotor and the segmented stator were revised and a Magnesium housing was constructed, reducing the total weight of the M510 by 500g (18%) to 2.9kg. The software for the starting characteristics has also been optimised to provide a smoother and more controllable start.
[It is precisely on steep climbs or in tight bends where it is most important for the engine to release the right amount of power with pinpoint accuracy," said a statement. [Too much power causes the tyres to spin, while too little power leads to unstable handling.
