Nothing has changed with the Bafang motors, but the CYC motors have: Instead of the BAC855 controller, the CYC&#8217;s own X6 controller is now used. In addition, the new CYC PHOTON motor has been released (01\/2023). <a title=\"ebike retrofit motors\" href=\"https:\/\/fasterbikes.eu\/en\/find-the-right-set\/\" target=\"_blank\">The current table can be found here<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>We have presented a clear comparison of these motors in the table below. In addition to the performance and technical aspects, we have also compared the noise level. This was measured using a smartphone app and should be sufficient as a comparative value. The &#8220;Bluetooth&#8221; point for the Bafang motor depends on the display used &#8211; the motor\/controller itself is not Bluetooth-compatible, whereas the BAC855 controller of the CYC motor is.   &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Bafang and CYC also differ in their drive concept: With Bafang, the chainring is driven by various gear wheels, whereas with CYC the power is transmitted between the motor and chainring by means of a separate drive chain.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; resize: horizontal; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-size:
