Meet the Bafang M560: The Ultimate E-Bike Motor

Unleashing Power and Efficiency: The New Bafang M560 Mid-Drive Motor

For e-bike enthusiasts looking for robust power and advanced tech, Bafang has once again raised the bar with the release of their M560 mid-drive motor. Designed for demanding terrains and high-performance applications, the M560 is tailored for those who want both torque and control, whether hitting mountain trails or speeding through urban commutes. Here’s a quick dive into why this new motor is making waves.

Key Features

1. High Torque: One of the M560’s standout features is its impressive torque. With up to 150Nm on tap in our 1800W Trailblazers, it provides the muscle needed for steep climbs and rugged trails. This motor is ideal for riders who want to tackle challenging landscapes without sacrificing battery life or control.

2. Efficient Energy Use: Efficiency is crucial in e-bike motors, and Bafang has fine-tuned the M560 to balance power output with low energy consumption. Riders can expect long battery life, perfect for extended rides and adventures. Expect a couple percent efficiency bump over the M600 motors.

3. Smooth Control and Smart Tech: Bafang integrates smart technology to enhance the riding experience. The M560 includes multiple sensors and finely tuned control algorithms that deliver smooth, responsive power. This makes it easier to navigate tight turns, rough surfaces, and varied terrains seamlessly. Not only that but with Bafang Go +, paired with our DPC245 color display, the end user has full control over all the power modes, and even how sensitive the pedal assist is to rider input!

4. Compatibility and Ease of Use: Designed to be compatible with various e-bike frames, the M560 can be installed without extensive modifications. It’s user-friendly and adaptable, making it an attractive upgrade for riders seeking to enhance their current setups. We can sell standalone 1800W M560 motors that you can retrofit onto your own bike, provided your battery and BMS can output more than 40A continuous.

Ideal for Off-Road and Urban Adventures

Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or simply a commuter looking for added power, the Bafang M560 is a game-changer in the mid-drive motor world. Its combination of high torque, efficiency, and intelligent control makes it suitable for any riding style, from off-road excursions to everyday urban use.

Bafang’s M560 is an exciting addition to the e-bike market, proving once again that they are at the forefront of innovation. This motor is bound to appeal to riders who want both power and performance without compromise.

First Hand Experience of the M560

My personal first experience with this motor was in November 2023.  We pulled out the stock controller and put in a new Sine Wave Controller that allowed the M560 to put out over 2000W!  Upon hill climb testing, I immediately noticed this motor stayed way cooler than our previous M600 motor which maxed out at 1600W.  On top of that, not only were we seeing a couple percent increase in efficiency and range out of this new M560 motor (when compared at the same power input level), but we gained a phenomenal 5+ MPH of speed out of it AND lost 1.1 lbs due to its magnesium shell.  This is one of the greatest upgrades you can do on our Trailblazer E-Bike and comes highly recommended.

So, if and when you spec out a Trailblazer from us, be sure the 1800W option is at the top of your list, since all 1800W Trailblazers proudly feature this M560 motor... What a compact little powerhouse!
