    SOLVED - BBS02 with a busted crank! Need help!

    I hope I'm posting this in the right place, please let me know if there's somewhere better for it! So I took a HARD fall today on some ice. I thought everything was okay until I saw my pedal on the ground. With part of the crank shaft still in it. I know the crankshaft is replaceable either as...

    @tomjasz has Bafang ever supplied you with a proper service manual? I'm curious if such a thing exists. If I could get my hands on one I'll be more than happy to share any wisdom I can glean from it 😁

    Understandable! I'm a rare breed, doesn't matter what I buy the warranty is violated within a day. I've been an electronics repair specialist in the past so I'm a little more brave than most when it comes to experimenting/modding/hacking on any platform. I could definitely foresee a lot of...

    You've proven me wrong rather swiftly hahaha 😁. I think I know what's going on though, your PAS screenshot puzzled me for a few moments until I remembered something obvious I've overlooked. In the throttle settings there exists the PAS setting. I can't find where I read it atm but those PAS...

    This I can answer! The speed limit is definitely only the upper speed limit cut off and has nothing to do with power to the pedals. Power to the pedals is defined as watts. Watts also equal amps times voltage. Applying more watts (and thus more current because the voltage is relatively stable)...

    One thing I've noticed about the PAS settings is that the current and speed settings (at least for me) don't seem to be as interconnected as some of the literature out there would have us believe. I've been experimenting a LOT with my own settings to prove this, many of my PAS have the same...

    Also hello @tomjasz! I hope I didn't offend you by being too direct. I've just been successfully challenging tech 'norms' for too long to give too much weight to any advice without a little experimentation to back it up. I'm also not a normal user from what I'm picking up, I didn't buy a BBS02...

    BBS** Settings/Pedal Assist/Stop Decay *Excellent Motor Refinement *

    I didn't say the files were garbage, I said they are garbage for commuters. 😉 Big difference. I'm sure on singletrack with a light bike and no speed limiter those settings are thrilling. They are, however, the exact opposite of the experience I bought my motor for. I'm not racing, going fast, or...

    With all due respect to those files most of them are garbage for a rider who commutes lol. I've only had my BBS02 a couple weeks but I spent months planning ahead and found almost every tuner only seems to care about mountain biking. It's a shame because the 'recommended' settings really suck...

    Adding Lights

    I know this is an old thread but wanted to let you know it is absolutely possible. I built a 12v system for my bicycle long before I installed my BBS02. It has high beam, low beam, strobe, turn signals on front and rear, brake lights triggered by the levers, hazard lights, running lights, a car...

    12v brake light wiring

    Did you ever solve your dilemma? I've think I've done what you are trying to do and can offer help if needed. My setup is run by a controller made up of motorcycle relays, and the brake levers themselves trigger the brake light. Hijacking the brake signals should be easy on most bikes. You need...

    Here's a screenshot just to make sure we're comparing apples to apples 😉 A stop decay of 1100 seems high! That's a full second to decelerate lol. I'll try it out though this weekend and report back, you might be on to something there too

    I've been using the Android app Speeed for my programming and the interface and values are slightly different than the Windows app. Speeed uses the actual time values, so you may need to divide my numbers by 10 for equivalent in Windows (to be fair I haven't bothered with the Windows app at all...

    Hello from Saskatoon!

    Hi Dave from Nova Scotia! The lighting upgrade was the best thing I ever did to my bike. It's kind of like swatting a fly with a hammer as far as solutions go but I think anyone who commutes should sincerely consider it. Cars approaching from behind tend to think I'm a motorcycle and actually...

    Hello from Saskatoon!

    Thanks for the greet! I agree, exercise definitely keeps the arthritis at bay. I've found there's a limit though lol, I've had more than a few days of riding unassisted more than 50km through mud, snow or uphill and my doctor says it's finally taking it's toll. A little exercise = good. As much...

    Thanks for the find @Gionnirocket! I had been searching for info on the Stop Decay setting and stumbled on this thread. It gave me the confidence to try tweaking it and WHAT A DIFFERENCE. I use my bike 100% for commuting. I average 25km/day, usually at a solid pace of 28km/hr. The recommended...

    Hello from Saskatoon!

    Hello! I'm Dave from Saskatoon. Just got my first BBS02 kit installed on my bike last month and I'm a convert for life! I started cycling 2 years ago for 2 reasons: improve my health (obviously!) and necessity. I was grossly overweight and my doctor gave me some dire warnings about my heart...
