Bafang m600 motor troubleshooting

FAQ's
The M600 is a small motor, very small in fact but packs white a punch with a V2 controller (2000W continuous and almost 3000W peak) so it’s quite normal for the motor to get really hot, specially if you compare it to a larger motor like a Bafang Ultra or Bafang BBSHD that have twice the thermal mass and half the power. Same goes for a big brand name motor that is as big as the M600 but has 3X-4X less power.
So avoid using high pedal assist level (PAS) or heavy throttling for a long time while climbing or even on a flat road but just in a wrong gear (AKA lugging the motor) or you will get the motor and the controller really hot quite fast. Once the motor or controller temperature get hot the power will drop , and will continue to drop unit the temperate stop rising. If you keep going the motor and controller will shut down and you will get Error code 14 or 15. So if you feel that power drop, then it’s time to let it cool down a little, Lower the assist, pedal harder, change gears to a higher pedal cadence and your motor and also your battery will thank you.
