Luna in the States have gone further with their own controller and Pex replacement main gear to quieten down the older M600’s. The later factory M600’s and M500’s now have Pex main gears and are comparable with a belt driven unit.
Luna never said they replaced the controller with their own controller for the M600, considering it's still fully BESST compatible and no one completely reverse engineered the CANBUS protocol yet, this is highly unlikely.
Considering they stated in the past they needed a hardware change,a firmware flash and software (BESST) to connect it to the motor unit, I expect they execute a shuntmod and adapting the assistence curve in the firmware accordingly for at least the 1500W version. Because that's all that would be needed, as technically the controller is already capable of handling 30A*48V.
All things considered, it would be nicer if Luna Cycles started to embrace opensource and DIY and share which knowhow they have about the motors and which procedures they follow to modify theirs. We donnot need any proprietary software at this stage, we mostly just need to start to
learn how the product behaves.
On a completely different note:
It seems a norwegian company got BAFANG to write custom firmware for the M600 to make them EU road legal, called the M600S:
If ANYONE could get their hands on a firmware file, that would be absolutely golden.
