That's the kind of really hard-core support for innovation I like to see!

PWM Charging??? I realize this is an old thread, but I found it interesting. IF the primary issue is current-induced heating, it's possible you could get around some of the "over-current" problems by using a variable PWM setup. The frequency and duty-cycle of the DC pulse charging voltage would...

Not accurate. The battery can self-discharge well below 30V over time. In addition, by whatever means Ancheer hooks up the HEADLIGHT with respect to the BMS, I left the headlight on to drain and cycle the battery for storage, foolishly relying on the protection circuit. Over a period of days it...

My understanding is that some e-bike throttles are nothing more than a 3-wire potentiometer with an output varying between 0 and +5V. I've not yet looked at the Ancheer throttle, however. I can't see why they would have to make it more complicated.

By the way, in case you didn't know it, Ancheer has a small (expensive) parts store for the Ancheer 20" folding AM001908 bike. (Might be ...1907 or ...1909 for the European models?) https://www.ancheer.shop/collections/e-bike-parts-for-am001908 If it comes to replacement...again...(multiple...

Well...it depends...for many people it is a primary means of getting around, and thus can be very critical to their lives, job, etc. So, it means a lot more to some folks than others.

If I were just out riding on a regular bicycle, I would be very happy with just the simple minimalist data display. But I'm riding a machine that uses a fairly complex, highly variable in terms of quality, and most important...EXPENSIVE...battery technology. The extra data allow me to better...

I would like the battery VOLTAGE provided in addition to the easy to interpret bar-graph most displays provide. The reason for this, is that different manufacturers interpret the voltage DIFFERENTLY. What is 80% for some is not 80% for others. It also depends on the battery type used. For...

I treat my expensive ebike like my car, and that's WHY I want info like detailed battery voltage, trip length, max speed, motor temperature, motor power, etc. and the ability to archive it all real-time during rides. Those data can tell me of problems BEFORE they become critical and leave me...

Thanks AHicks...will check it out.

I hear you. I'm not a big fan of being dependent on an "app" that can be taken-away at any time. I prefer to "own" my programs like the way we used to "buy" software on various media. Being dependent long-term on an internet-based company staying in business...or dropping support of a given...

That's another function that Bluetooth could easily provide via smartphone (or dedicated remote device). It's just another bit of code to add. I would like ebike users to push the manufacturers for universal design to include Bluetooth capability in motor controllers. That would help solve the...

In general, I would agree with you, however in these ebike cases, the controller's sensors are built-in and integral to the design (required information for the controller to do its job), so the data are already available whether or not a meter/display is going to be used. So, there is no impact...

Regarding the Bosch Nyon display mentioned above...It would be nice if the display had the functionality that the user could simply tap on the parameters to display and those would be enlarged in the display and the others minimized. A cellphone/mobile app could do that if it got all the data...

1% correlation between the two bikes doesn't necessarilyi mean either one was actually accurate. Both could be off by the same amount, especially if using the same controller. However, if it meets your needs then that's all that really matters. That 5% actual ground travel error in that earlier...

When it comes to compensating for wheel differences, even the ultra-cheap "Bell" bicycle computers have more granularity than these more expensive controllers. For example, they have a calibration setting on their tire-size chart that compensates for those x1.5, x1.75, and x2.25 variations. The...

There were multiple "Strava" apps when I looked at them, and I wouldn't know which one to try...but I would imagine the app would be similar. The two I listed were unobtrusive, easy to use, provide good functionality, and are easy to read...so I'm satisfied with them. There's one more with a...

These are two ride "meters" I like and use that are FREE apps for your smartphone: "DigiHUD" and, "Polaris GPS Navigation: Hiking, Marine, Offroad" I don't have any personal or financial interest in either app or their developers. DigiHUD gives me real-time speed and distance data and stores...

I'm looking for Bluetooth support in the motor controller for all metrics and an app I can use on my phone to read, record, and transfer data for riding logs and statistics on my riding. Electric Skateboards have this ability along with some extremely sophisticated apps that display data and...
