[UPDATE] I performed the upgrade, check my last comment for more details.
TL;DR:
- KT PAS is miles better, only reason to upgrade.
- speed limit cannot be changed, motor is RPM limited.
- kinda pain in the ass to do since the controller wont fit without modifying the casing.
- all wires are compatible if u buy the right one.
Hi,
I found this board and read a bit while doing some research, but it's a tad overwhelming. Hoping someone who knows more can help me clear up a few things.
Backstory
I purchased a voltbike mariner which has a 500W bafang hub motor, I love the bike, i hate how pedal assist is done and the fact that i cannot remove the speed limit on it.
The bike comes stock with a lishui controller which doesnt seem to be modifiable.
The motor is a bafang rm g060 5000 d
My Plan
Swap the controller with a KT controller and use the simulated torque assist. I am planning on ordering the controller, USB cable to program it and screen since the one i have is not compatible i believe.
Questions
Can any KT controller be programmed to simulate torque assist?
I plan on buying this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003157399358.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.367d2e0eUzdPQY
It has (almost) the same connectors as my current one, the only difference:
- The rating which is 25A vs 20A on mine. The ui/settings imply it is pushing 20A and 1000W to the motor, but i assume it's bs since it would be fried by now. It's also not "1000W" powerful.
- It's missing a blue 4 pin connector which i need to figure out what the hell its for (picture)
I plan on using this screen (i want a small one)

The cable seems to match up just fine with the current one:
The usb cable to program it seems straightforward (assuming i understood correctly and any KT controller can be programmed)
Anything else i am missing, anything else i should know?
-- Thanks a lot for any information, i really appreciate it!
I atatched some pictures of all the connectors off the current controller.
