Bafang has introduced its new H730 hub motor, featuring patented GVT (Gear Variable Transmission) technology, aimed at enhancing urban e-biking. This innovative motor combines the benefits of internally geared hubs with Bafang's hub motors, offering a 3-speed automatic gearbox that shifts gears based on riding speed without rider input. The design eliminates derailleurs and external shifters, resulting in improved durability, simplicity, and reduced maintenance, while also providing weatherproofing against rain and debris.
