Hi all,
A few months ago I bought a second hand 'official' e-bike with 500w Bafang rear hub motor. It is 5 years old, has official registration so I have a license plate, have to wear a helmet and can legally go 45 km/h (instead of 25 in my country)
I have been putting around 1000 km on it commuting to work (40 km both ways). If I do not use the maximum PAS I can just about make it one-way then charge at work so I will soon be looking at adding another battery (there is an in-frame battery of 490 Wh) as I ideally want to go max power to cut down the time needed for commute.
What bugs me is that the PAS support stops around 39-40 kmh even when I am adding power myself and wattage is as low as 300. When driving away I can easily hit 600w peak or more. I also want to tweak how quick the bike picks up power (have a problem sometime getting away from traffic lights when I forget to switch down gears)/. So I want to have a look at the settings because clearly some settings are cutting the power. However the display (similar to the one attached but without the KING-METER) won't let me into the second menu using any of the PINs I found (1199 1919 etc). It may have been propriatery for this bike manufacturer (local brand).
So since I also like to have a more fancy display anyway and unless someone knows of more common PIN keys I can try... ?
Is the display of a Bafang 8-Fun rearhub generally replaceable? I get confused by all the different Bafang types... And even when One fits, is the code in the display or in the ESC? If I order an SW-LCD KING METER will it be a straight replace and allow me into settings? Any other recommended display replacement?
Thanks for any guidance! I could not find my answer through search, if I missed something obvious please point me in the right direction.
