Does anyone find a source for M600 parts?
At this time there are only a few bikes available here in the US, the FLX trail, Roadster and the impending X-1 that I know of, that even spec using the M600 and I don't see Bafang doing alot to support it's OEM sales so parts are probably going to be the same as they supply for their add-on systems, little to none. At least they addressed the original issues regarding changing the nylon gear to metal and perhaps the non-potted controller that Luna griped about in their video first discussing it that has been deleted. There are alot of Ultra equipped bikes out and as that system has no interest to me due to excess weight and over power for my needs who knows?
Not sure where the high speed knock is coming from as the M600 series is not a contender for that sector that I can see as the Ultra is more capable of. It does look like a contender for eMTB use on par weight wise with the EU type mid motors though for legal speed grunting around on the trails and that is what I am a looking for as well as the throttle mentioned which you will never see on the EU to US spec bikes even though they are legal to use here. Hopefully by the time I get one in the stable there will be parts available but not going to hold my breath nor get one until I see some movement along those lines.
I just switched to a 48v/18a TSDZ2 kit and I don't even notice the difference between that and my older 52v/15a one. Got a nice HL case 48v/18ah 2170 battery to use for the same price than I spent for my last 52v HL case 10ah 18650 one too. Total cost to re-fit was under $800 so I should be good for the rest of the year and see what comes up M600 wise next year.
