Central drive unit Bafang Modest
Bafang has been one of the largest e-bike components manufacturers in the world for over 10 years. In Europe, their electric motors have become the de facto standard. However, over the past five years, they have focused on the production of central motors. In 2014, integrated central drive unit named MaxDrive was introduced. The use of MaxDrive is found in many types of e-bikes. Bafang also produces hub motors (front and rear), which makes it the world market leader in the long term.
