Motor manufacturers such as Bosch, Shimano, Bafang, and Brose are widely used in various types of electric bikes. Why did Frey choose Bafang motors for our electric bikes? Here is the answer we want to share with you!

 

Why did Frey choose Bafang?

As a long-time partner and supplier of drive systems of Frey, Bafang is a Chinese company that was founded in 2003. In the years of development, they have already launched world-famous motor products, such as Bafang M600, Bafang M620, and Bafang M820.

Originally, they produced high-tech components for the automotive and aerospace industries, but in 2007 they began to focus on electric bike motors.

With years of market experience and foresight, Bafang has determined a way that few people take in China -- positioning the high-end market and providing a full set of power solutions for electric bikes.

At the time, the trend toward lighter electric bikes presented a new challenge for suppliers of electric drive systems to develop smaller, more powerful a system that uses less energy to cope with future trends.

To this end, Bafang has set up its own research and development team for battery, motor, controller, sensor, and integration projects. Each team will study the corresponding components to ensure the excellent performance of a single component.

The overall innovation and optimization of motor performance and the establishment of overseas subsidiaries, as well as the excellent results achieved by the Bafang team in a series of competitions, make it quickly become the leading manufacturer of electric bike motors.

Today, Bafang has already become one of the largest suppliers of electric bike motors in the world. It is precisely because of companies like Bafang that many Chinese electric mountain bike manufacturers have reliable technical support, which enables them to achieve a balance between quality and price.

In recent years, Bafang has expanded its offerings to include a wide range of e-bike components, including batteries, displays, and controllers. The company is known for its innovative and high-quality products and is a trusted supplier to many of the world's leading e-bike brands.

From Bafang's development history, we can see its outstanding technological innovation and excellent team, which helps Bafang continuously launch high-quality and high-performance electric bike components. At this point, does anyone want to know their main products and features?

Bafang is known for producing high-power, high-speed, lightweight compact mid-drive motors, whose output power can be suitable for various applications, such as mountain biking, touring, commuting, cargo, and more. It not only produces motors but also manufactures other related accessories, such as batteries, sensors, and displays, as well as Bafang GO+ APP recently.

The main type of Bafang motor

According to different usage scenarios, Bafang positions its drive systems as eMTB, eROAD, eTOUR, eCITY, eCARGO, and eFAT. Some motors are suitable for multiple scenarios, for example, the Bafang M820 is suitable for both e-mountain bikes and e-road bikes.

Mid-drive motors are generally used for electric mountain bikes and road bikes. In addition to

their efficient performance, they also provide persistent battery power and nimble output, which allows these mid-drive mountain bikes to have stable power support whether jumping on rugged mountain slopes or shuttling on bumpy gravel roads, providing a better riding experience for riders.

The most popular motor systems are the M600, M620, and M820. Compared to the other two, the M620 is slightly heavier (6.7kg), but its torque and output power surpasses the other two. It even could be customized to be Bafang 2000W mid-drive motor, making it suitable for mountain bike riding and providing strong power support and stable e-bike control, even on dumpy and dangerous mountain terrain.

The M600 has been made lightweight, with a more compact structure, making it suitable for long-distance riding, providing stable power output and persistent power endurance. The M820 is the youngest and lightest of the three (weighing only 2.3kg), with slightly different configurations when used for eMTB and eROAD, but both have excellent heat dissipation, outstanding corrosion resistance, and good shock absorption.

Currently, many electric bike manufacturers choose to use Bafang motors on their drive system, including well-known brands specializing in mid-drive electric mountain bikes. As a manufacturer of Chinese electric mountain bike, Frey has also established long-term cooperation with Bafang's technical team to ensure that the drive system can meet professional electric mountain bike standards.
