Hi folks,

I’m trying to revive a broken bike which has an existing Bafang Torque sensor.
I have a 300w wheel motor and I would like to keep the existing Torque Sensor system from Bafang and plug it to a generic controller.
I looked at AliExpress but I was not able to get any confirmation from vendors that their controllers could work with such PAS system.
Has anyone already faced such challenge?

Ideally I would like to find an affordable controller which also supports a dashboard.

I’m more used to escooter than ebike so apologies in advance if I ask silly questions.

Thanks
 
Thanks but these are even more expansive that proper bafang controller :lol:

There are Lishui-Controllers for BB Torque-Sensors (Sempu/E-Rider):

With colour-display:

You will need to adapt the plugs, but they should work with the Bafang-Sensor also.

thanks @stancecoke

I order but the seller told me he is out of stock and he doesn't know when controller are back!!! I'm so unlucky.
Any chance you have another reference like the Lishui-Controllers for BB Torque-Sensors (Sempu/E-Rider) ? Colour version is a bit expensive.

cheers,
 
Hello, I am new to this group. New to e-bikes too. I have a Grunberg Moskito bike. 36v 10.4ah battery and 250w front wheel hub motor. I bought the bike as 'not running'. Afterward, I inspected and found that, some components (probably capacitors) in the controller(Bafang) were burnt. The capacitors were connected to the VCC and the 36v positive. I noticed that the PAS sensor wire which was coming from underneath the small crankcase, has 6 pin connector of which 2 wires inactive(cut out, white and blue). But 4 wires connected to the controller (green brown, orange, black). So I looked for the Bafang controller. But I could not find anywhere. Most of the controllers have 3 pin pas(cadence, i guess). Then I looked online, and I thought it was probably a torque sensor. But I could not find a similar controller either. My controller had waterproof round connectors. Then finally the link from above reply post, I ordered one torque sensor controller from Ali express https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/40000386 ... pt=glo2nld . The controller comes with a display. But mine was color display. So I managed to connect most of the wires of my old display to the controller. And the display turns on and can be controlled with the external on/of and +/- buttons.
Now the Problems are, the cables from the LCD and the cables from the 2 brake switches are combined in one thick cable which has 8 pins on the controller's side. From these pins, I have carefully connected some to the new controller. Which are : brake cable to the NEW controller's brake signal, black to ground, VCC to controller's SW. also 36v+, 36v-, RX and TX. The old color display turns on and off by the separate switch perfectly, as I mentioned before. But there are still 2 wires remaining from the 8 pin. In the old controller, these 2 were connected as : Red to 5+ and blue to ZB(or Z8, cant tell). There are 3 different 5+ in the old controller. But in the new controller, all 5+ are coming from one rail. So i am confused. Should I connect the red to that 5+ anyway? What about the blue (ZB) one? What is it?
Another thing, first i am not even sure anymore that if my bike has torque sensor or not. If it has a torque sensor, then, my old controller sent 5 volts to that sensor. The new controller has 12v fro torque sensor which comes from a switching mosfet in the pcb. What should i do? Should I put the torque sensor 5+ve wire in the new controller's 5+ volt instead? The other wires from the sensor in the bike went to(in old controller PCB) brown = LJ, green = ZL1 and black = gnd. New controller PCB does not have LJ or ZL1. Instead, it has green=TA, white+AD1 .
What to do?
Thanks in advance.
