Hi,
I just ordered a Bafang Ultra (aka M620 aka G510) and was surprised when Bafang specified on the invoice that the display would be a CAN-BUS version as opposed to being a UART version. They confirmed this morning to me that they have changed the manufacturing and that they are NOT producing UART M620 anymore. I wanted to fit a 52V battery on it but I am therefore not sure if the motor will still accept 52V batteries (as the 2018-2020 version of the motor used to) and if it will be tunable anymore.
Would any of you put their hands on a new version of the M620 with a controller using CAN-BUS protocol rather than UART protocol?
Is the capacitor still rated 63V?
Also learnt (comparing Bafang 2019 vs 2021 catalogue, and confirmed by Bafang themselves) that now all motors and display are on CAN-BUS (before it was a mix of UART and CAN-BUS), so this is not an issue that only affects the M620 but the entire range of motors. I think that means that not only the USB connector to tune the motors won't work anymore (as different green connector) but also seems to suggest that it will become much hader (impossible?) to tune the motors without the Bafang dedicated device and software.
Thanks much for your thoughts.
