    Bafang Ultra "Smooth" tune by Mike at Frey

    Thanks! That's the exact same file inside a different archive, so I deleted the redundant post. Anyone wanting to use my config file, please refer to this post, above.

    Bafang Ultra "Smooth" tune by Mike at Frey

    Original default "config", WITH NO TORQUE SENSOR CALIBRATION: (Do NOT use this! Also, do NOT tune your Bafang Ultra with Base Voltage set to 0!) ^Note the Base Voltage is unconfigured, at 0 mV! This will cause 0 Kg of pedal force to read as ~19 Kg! Additionally, that's nearly...

    Bafang Ultra "Smooth" tune by Mike at Frey

    Hm, I just noticed that I never posted my most recent tuning, here! Rather rude of me, since this was one of the first places I ever saw the "Smooth" config linked! Starting from the "Smooth" tune, test riding it a bit, tweaking a few settings very slightly, &...

    Bafang Ultra "Smooth" tune by Mike at Frey

    I had 0KCal showing after the first test rides, even before altering any settings. I'm not sure how that's calculated by the DPC18, but it's never moved from zero thousand calories... Like the detailed per-cell battery info, perhaps that's a DPC18 "feature" that won't actually work on most...

    Bafang Ultra Alternative Settings For Basic, Pedal Assist & Throttle Handle..

    Went for another grocery run today, & with a backpack & pannier bags full of ~45 pounds of groceries, it handles better in the snow+slush+slicks, than with no cargo at all... Loving my 2022-01-18 tuning so far: Pushing more, gets more, & it switches response levels at 40 & 60% speed, right...

    The new AM1000 V6

    💯‼️ 🤦 I responded before caffeinating & forgot we were talking about batteries for the new v6! I've been on the hunt for larger batteries for the v5...

    Bafang Ultra Alternative Settings For Basic, Pedal Assist & Throttle Handle..

    I just tried to do the math in my head, on how many teeth would be on each gear of an 11-speed 11-tooth-to-50-tooth cassette, & what final ratio that would make each gear, with a 48 tooth chainring... & now I'm getting out my calculator again: 48:50 is actually much closer to 1:1, than 40:42...

    Bafang Ultra Alternative Settings For Basic, Pedal Assist & Throttle Handle..

    Ooh, that layout sounds fun as heck! And going hydraulic is surely a good move? I suspect I'm a bit large for most air shocks to provide the damping I'd prefer. Oh yeah! 💯 The AM1000 has more chainline clearance than a lot of ebikes; but in that lowest first gear (out of 11), the chain almost...

    The new AM1000 V6

    There are sooo many vendors, it's good to investigate thoroughly before buying something so critical (& costly!)... The battery we got from Frey was priced well enough that we bought two, essentially on faith & a handful of positive reports. I haven't opened the case to confirm what's inside...

    Reention Dorado 48V 25Ah 29Ah&36V 30Ah (505L) Replacement Battery for eBikes Surface 604,NCM,Rize,Magnum,Aventon

    1) I did look at the specs... & obviously I saw them, because I mentioned them. I was asking whether anything larger than what's listed here, is available. (I think that's allowed?) 2) reention.com is down right now. Not sure when that happened, because Jenny's links worked the first time I saw...

    Bafang Ultra Alternative Settings For Basic, Pedal Assist & Throttle Handle..

    Indeed! 😅 I am acutely aware of that; hence the desire for larger front chainring, to make use of the middle gears more! I don't like how often I land in last gear, even at low assist levels & long before "top" speed. Fascinating! This is on an AM1000 v5 frame? What rear tire? I've heard a 48...

    Reention Dorado 48V 25Ah 29Ah&36V 30Ah (505L) Replacement Battery for eBikes Surface 604,NCM,Rize,Magnum,Aventon

    😭 At this rate, it might be worthwhile for me to buy a case, model it, & have a taller version fabricated to fit more cells.

    Reention Dorado 48V 25Ah 29Ah&36V 30Ah (505L) Replacement Battery for eBikes Surface 604,NCM,Rize,Magnum,Aventon

    I'm asking whether anyone can supply a case larger than the 48V 25Ah, to fit the battery slot on (an XL size) Frey AM1000 v5 frame. The charging port is 6 pin. I've yet to find a significantly larger battery for the same slot, than the bike's stock Dorado Max 13s6p 48V 21Ah using 78, Samsung...

    Bafang Ultra loss of pedal assist functionality

    Have you double-checked that the speedometer magnet is still reading consistently? Cadence sensor too... (Speedo sensor, is easier to check though!) Any of the three (including the torque sensor), could present an issue similar to what you describe... If it turned out to be a display issue...

    Bafang Ultra Alternative Settings For Basic, Pedal Assist & Throttle Handle..

    Note that Base Voltage should NEVER be left at 0 mV. Bafang ships these motor controllers with the torque sensing uncalibrated. The minimum value, at zero pedal force, which these torque sensors can output, is around 732 milliVolts. Anything below 730 mV in the Base Voltage field, is wrong...

    Bafang Ultra Alternative Settings For Basic, Pedal Assist & Throttle Handle..

    Let's see... Frey AM1000 v5 (XL frame), 48V 21Ah battery, 27.5×2.8" Maxxis Rekon+ tires, 40-tooth front chainring, 11-to-42-tooth 11-speed rear cassette. Used mostly on urban streets\lanes\paths, so far; though it's been very confident through the rough, what little it's seen yet! Climbs like a...

    The top-tube looks like it rolled out of bed wrong one morning, but I like the AWD concept, & wonder about electronic traction control?

    Reention Dorado 48V 25Ah 29Ah&36V 30Ah (505L) Replacement Battery for eBikes Surface 604,NCM,Rize,Magnum,Aventon

    We've got at least 2.5 centimeters of clearance, at the closest point above our 48V 21Ah Dorado pack (Frey AM1000 v5 XL frame)... Is there any case even larger than the 48V 25Ah 21700 pack, which would fit the same connector?

    Watt Wagon direct competitors?

    You're quite right. Not sure what I was even thinking of. 🤦 Probably something ludicrous. Hopefully they start shipping X1 controllers on CANBus, or confirm ability to swap out stock CANBus controllers for UART X1s, soon!? (And someone with eyes on the controllers, does confirm that these...

    2022 - Top 12 Bafang Ultra M620 Ebikes

    Well, that's very different from just a direct throttle, but I think you describe exactly what I'd like to see, too!? Regular current-based throttle? Yes please, always! But more similar to what you described, a slider (which stays put) to adjust the level of assistance supplied in response...
