First post!
It seems Bafang has once again quietly updated their rear hub motors with an interesting change.
I wasn't able to find ANY info online, but the former H550 aka G062 page has been replaced with the new G063, which only comes in a 1000W model with no variants. There's now an updated H720 or G06A2 that comes in 250, 500, 750, and 1000W variants. I wasn't able to find any information about it other than a single article and a reference to it on this website. I'm not sure whether or not it's a mistake, but the G063 page has the 2019 dealer manual for the G062 linked.
I've spotted a few differences so far:
Apparently they showcased this motor at the Sea Otter Classic in California late April, where they also showcased a new display, the DPC C010.
Did anyone attend this event, and/or possibly have information on these products?

I've spotted a few differences so far:
- G06A2's body is 20mm wider, but G063 has a 17.7mm longer protrusion for cassette mounting.
- G06A2 does not have a cassette mount, hence the lack of "D/DC"
- G06A2 weighs 0.5kgs (1.1lbs) more.
- G06A2 is IP66 while the G063 is IP65 according to their dealers' manuals, meaning G0A62 is significantly more water resistant.
- They both seem to have about 10% more torque than the previous generation.
- Most important of all, the G06A2 seems to have a dual speed automatic transmission.
