    Change Display on Chinese Ebike

    Fellas, I was trying to impress upon the OP that chances are any cheap Chinese folding or otherwise, bike that retails between 1000 and 2000 buks is more than likely using a 3rd party controller and display, in his case, the display only...as he is looking to change it out. Bosch, shimano...

    Why is everything Elon scam-ish?

    The hubless wheel set MTB frame Tesla released at the media day look dam similar to another hub less bike by a completely different manufacturer. Can't remember who made it though...nonetheless, it is already on the market.

    Thank you very much AHicks! i needed someone to concur with and bite the bullet on my initial thoughs, just buy a dam display and be done with all the fools at iGO. Do you know the difference between a, "...for mid drive ebikes", display and a hub? Even make a difference that they designate if...

    Change Display on Chinese Ebike

    All displays are 'after market' the motors do not come wit a proprietary display at that price point. Bosch MAY be the only vendor with proprietary displays, perhaps Shimano. APT makes displays for loads of bike manufactures, they get branded at the same factory with the respective Company Name

    AHIcks Certainly the individual from this forum that went on a paid tour of the APT Display factory in China has some sort of contact there and can obtain a code, no?

    Brilliant idea, yes, standard 5 pin waterproof Connector. I only have a white clip connection on my first 2 ebikes and the 3rd had what appears to be the same connection but is a 7 pin. If I manage to get my hands on a 5 pin 500c, I'm laughing...then will know if it is even possible.

    I totally agree and drew to that exact conclusion before surfing this forum. iGO customer service told me changing the display was not possible because, "...its wired differently". That is why I assumed there were maybe different sensor wires that wouldn't merry up with the 500c...I no longer...

    Well, on another forum the Sales Rep for iGO just basically told me to buy another iGO as my solution for no having a password locked ecm. I figured it was a huge marketing scheme to force ppl to spend more money and as it turns out that is exactly what the iGO Sales and Marketing exec. Told...

    How is your decision coming? Made up your mind, settled down on 1 or 2 models yet?

    Someone from EBR did a series of factory videos from the APT plant in China. Hopefully that someone has enough 'sway' to aquire this password for us iGO users. But I won't be the blue guy in the corner waiting lol...crossing fingers!

    I Canada we just passed a law banning companies from locking our devices (carrier locking our smartphones)..something about they don't have that right under law to do so, now all devices come unlocked and those that were locked previously; the carrier has to provide that unlock code under the...

    IGO customer service just responded to my request and basically told me no. We will not give you the password. NO other ebike company does this. Not one of our other 3 eBikes has this issue, as we were never locked out of those ecm's. Where is the arrogance coming from, or is it simply an iGO...

    Already a member. Nobody on that forum would have a clue what an ECM is. Needless to say, I posted out a feeler and have my fingers crossed.

    Well, I tried a few more codes but to no avail. I'll try again tomorrow. I am already part of the iGO Facebook group. Everyone there is a happy rider, likes to show off their new pannier rack saddle bags...not my thing really and doubt very highly if anyone on that forum even knows what an ECM...

    That may be the case, live in south Ontario Canada now but lived in Thief River Falls, small chance this conversation may grow quickly and on a scalable level. My last name isn't Halvorson though...but knew about 11,947 Halvorsons when living in MN. Bounced at a bar called the rusty nail as a...

    Gentlemen. Ahem...waiting for a post from the resident display guru myself. My overly long post of its a marketing scheme seems to be zeroing in on being correct. *NO ACCESS ON OUR NO -CONNECT VERSIONS (WE LOCKED YOU OUT FROM TUNING AT ALL) OR **ALL ACCESS...

    Yes. Like I mentioned above. It appears as though it part of their marketing scheme. It seems as though they are pushing the iGO connect app. The new 500 S display isn't the catalyst here though. Let's get nitty gritty for a moment. 25 amp mosfet DC controller on Core series and pretty much...
