Motor arrived today! First good news: it's super easy to take apart. All you need is a fancy t25 holed bit and a 17mm wrench. First bad news: would it kill you to actually grease the thing, bafang ?
Clean bafang build with an O-ring seal like we've seen on all newer models. Also 6 magnets hall speed sensor.
Gears leave an overbuilt impression, especially if you've seen the inside of bpm style motors. Here a comparison between an mxus GDR-19 clutch (left) and the new g0h0.1000 DC (right). Diameter roughly equal be notice the larger teeth of the gears on the bafang clutch. Sadly this also translates into a lower ratio. I count 72T ring, 18T sun and 37T carrier, which means 18/72=1:4 ratio.
Now to the motor unit: definitely a bpm-like outrunner with 8 pole pairs. Stator width approximatly 20mm and diameter 145mm; motor unit weight including axle: around 2.8Kg.
Interestingly enough, there is plenty of room for more signal wires. The motor comes with an exotic G11 connector, which looks very similar to L1019 connectors on ebikes.ca bikes but has one more signal wire. Sadly I could not get a tech specs file from the manufacturer, although
this vendor on aliexpress claims its made by Julet (Model JL-F-L1121A) and comes with 3x2.5mm2 motor wires and +8x0.2mm2 signal wires. That's not nearly as good as 4mm2 L1019 motor wires. I briefly considered swapping the main motor cable, but it's super well potted so it would be a painful process.
Also note that only 6 out of the 8 signal wires are used. There is actually one grey stub left that looks accessible on my model, with maybe just enough wire length to solder a temp sensor. The last (purple) wire seems lost somewhere in the potting. Sad - I would have loved 2 temp sensors
My plan with that motor is quite simple: given the additional weight (total motor + cable weight = 5.3KG), the better-than-average sealing, I ordered my motor with a spare clutch which I plan to weld to built a regen-capable geared hub. In terms of performance, I don't expect miracles, due to the rather low number of poles and the 1:4 gearing.
Fun fact: the forwarder forgot to included the extension cable(which I paid extra) into the parcel. I needed that cable to connect the controller, and I don't have fancy G11 (or bafang H640) female connectors laying around ... so now I have to wait another 3 weeks to test the motor...
