Bafang
Manufacturer of e-bike drive systems — motors, displays, batteries, controllers and sensors — supplied to bicycle brands rather than sold as complete bicycles. Its motors carry two designations: a marketing name such as M620 and an engineering designation such as MM G510.750/1000/1300.C, and its own documentation is indexed by the second.
