Bafang Most Powerful E-bike Motors

18th January 2019 by Jody Muelaner Leave a Comment

Motors capable of delivering 2 kW give extreme performance

Befang produce the most powerful E-bike motors available. The most powerful motor, MM G510.750/1000 is rated at 1 kW running at 52 V, but it has a peak power output of 1.6 kW. With modification, it is capable of over 2 kW. The torque is also extremely high at 160 Nm.

Putting this in context, Tour de France riders output about 500 W during intense climbs and around 1000 W during sprints. Their peak power can sometimes be as high as 2000 W. However, don’t expect this system to give you the 50 mph (80 km/h) that Tour de France printers achieve. The motors speed is limited at 28 mph, unless it is modified…

This is a mid-drive system, of the type made popular by Bosch and Panasonic. The pedelec system continuously samples crank torque, vehicle speed and pedaling speed at a frequency of 80 kHz. Power is delivered in response to these variables, magnifying the riders input power.

The Max Drive System puts the rider in complete control.

Befang

To achieve such a high torque Begang use a very large diameter motor together with a three stage reduction gearbox.

In many countries a bike fitted with such a powerful motor will no longer be classed as an E-bike but rather an electric moped.
