Bafang’s eMTB to eCargo suited mid-motor drops weight

Bafang has revealed detail of a mid-motor revamp on its m400, a unit designed and refined for eMTB, trekking and eCargo bike use.

Now dubbed the M410, the revamp delivers almost identical performance data, such as 80 N.m. torque (at max. 120 Rpm) and 250W, but a sizeable 700 grams was shaved off the M410’s weight, meaning it’s now only 3.2kg in weight (a reduction of 18% from the M400’s 3.9kg).

In terms of technical aspects, the M410 is fully integrated into certain transmission systems (e.g. Enviolo) and has the identical connection interface, in line with the already familiar M500, M510 and M600 mid-mounted motors.

The motor can be combined with various stylish HMIs such as the DP C244/245.CAN, DP E180/181.CAN or the displays DP E170/171.CAN. As the power interface of the M410 motor is designed for down tube batteries, the fully integrable BT F16.630.C battery system (630Wh) offers an ideal option for an energy source.

The newly opened plant in Poland focuses on the production of mid-motor systems for the European markets.

Bafang has sales and service centres in the Netherlands, the USA, Germany, Denmark, France, Italy, Japan, Taiwan and China.
