I just installed a new BBS02B 750W 48V (850C display) into a hardtail mountain bike with 27.5 tires and a 8 speed cassette. I used this kit from Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078YNVH9Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Overall, it works well. I've used hub motors for years, but I've moved to an area with very steep/long hills and mid drives make more sense. The default out of the box programming is wonky, but it's usable.
The pedal assist feature is terrible and almost useless to me, so I disabled it by programming the "Pedal Assist->Designated Assist Level" to 0. Level 0 is set to 0% current 0% speed. The throttle still works, but pas is completely disabled, which is what I want. (Setting level 0 to 1% current 1% speed, like a bunch of websites recommend, just results in assist level 0 going very slowly.) The default factory setting for level 0 was 10% current 10% speed. I would rather not take apart my controller to disable PAS.
The only remaining issue is the throttle, which is the one that came with the kit. It isn't proportional. It's either off or on. It's just binary, not analog. It was always this way, right out of the box with the default factory programming. I have to adjust the PAS level from 1-5 on the display, because the throttle is basically a button. All of my hub motor ebikes had very smooth proportional throttles, even using cheap controllers.
I have no idea how to fix this. I tried fiddling with the "Throttle Handle->End Voltage" setting with no change. Here's my configuration. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
