In 2022, Bafang launched an upgraded product, the M510 mid-motor, which further innovated and developed the product on the basis of continuing the robust advantages and strict standards of the M500.
As one of the world's leading manufacturers of electric bicycle drive systems, Octagon is committed to providing advanced motor system solutions, and continues to innovate, launching a new motor product this year - M510. It is understood that the M510 has the same strong torque of 95Nm as the M500, but the overall torque curve becomes higher, which means that the M510 is able to provide strong support for high revs of 120rpm.
Weight variation
In order to further promote the effective power growth, the M510 has been revolutionized for rotors, segmented stators, and adopted a magnesium housing, which reduces the weight of the M510 by a full 18% compared to the M500, which weighs 3.4 kg, to only 2.9 kg.

Start and accelerate effects
In addition to weight, the M510 optimizes the software's start-up performance, allowing users to have a smoother and more controllable riding experience at the start-up stage. These performances will all better assist in short-distance cornering riding as well as fast climbs. With the considerable high power of the M510, the acceleration effect of the vehicle will become very powerful and realize the "mission" of the riding destination.
Agility and agility
In the process of steep slopes and tight curves, it is crucial that the motor can accurately output the correct power. Too much power can cause the tires to spin, while too little power can lead to unstable operation. Thanks to the high sensitivity of the torque transducer, the M510 can quickly and precisely determine the amount of power required based on the rider's pedal stress, providing the right boost. In different power situations, whether in a bike park or a technically challenging uphill aisle, the M510 mid-motor is ideal in terms of performance.
Installation and compatibility
In addition to the lighter architecture, the mid-mounted motor optimizes water resistance and adds a 12V lamp module. In addition, the M510 is compatible with ISCG05-spec chain guides, has the same motor mounting method as the M500/M410, and offers a hidden speed sensor mounting option.
The M510 motor is compatible with most of Bafang's other products, such as downtube batteries, DP E180/181 with LED gauges, color screen meter DPC242, two different magnetically fixed hidden speed sensors, and the upcoming Octagon APP. With regard to the product components mentioned above, Octagon's in-house production capacity ensures a delivery time of 60 to 90 days.
Octagon APP coming soon (ride customization and online update features)
Since the beginning of this year, the M510 engine has been successfully put into use under the leadership of the professional team CST PostNL Octagon MTB Racing Team and star driver Bad Brent Jens. Jer van Den Bourgt, a driver from the CST PostNL Octagon MTB racing team, commented: "I am very happy with the new M510! The engine is more powerful and quiet. ”
The new generation of Happo motor M510 - stronger, stronger, lighter and more dynamic.
