Mahle M40 Motor im Test: Kompakt, kräftig und leicht - neue Konkurrenz für Bosch, Avinox und Co.!

____ Watch the video ____ Is this the future of e-bike motors? We finally put the brand-new Mahle M40 mid-drive motor through its paces – both in the lab and on the trail! ⚡🚵‍♂️ With 105 Nm of torque and up to 850 watts of peak power at just 2.5 kg, the Mahle M40 is extremely impressive on paper. But can such a lightweight motor deliver this power continuously without overheating? And how does it feel in practice? In this video, we take a close look at the 48-volt system. We put the M40 through its paces on our test bench, measure its real-world performance, and check its derating (heat management) and efficiency. Then it's off-road: How natural does the drive feel? How effective are features like "Dynamic Overrun" and automatic gear detection? And the most important question for many: How loud is the motor really?
