Default Power Up in PAS Level Zero on Bafang Ultra (M510 / G620 Mid Drive) - Is It Possible?

[mail_e36]

For those whom are lucky enough to own the programmable UART version of the Bafang Ultra (M510 / G620 Mid Drive), is there a way to configure the controller to power up into PAS0 (level zero, no assistance) from the off state, rather than into the PAS1 state, which seems to be the default?

I see this as a safety concern, when the bike automatically turns on with assist (level one) already enabled.

Can anyone share any thoughts please, if it's possible to power into PAS0?

Thank you

Don't think so... I had the same thoughts and no one seems to think it can be changed.

I think it's a good question, but agree that I don't remember seeing anything like this either.

That in mind, from a safety standpoint, I would suggest Ultra owners mount and dismount their bikes with the hand brake firmly engaged. This virtually guarantees the motor won't surprise you with a false start (ask me how I learned that trick), AND it sort of plants the bike in place so you can use it to keep your balance while mounting/dismounting. Same goes true for any other torque assist bikes.

I've built in muscle/brain memory to always toggle to 0 and do as you say always handle the bike with your fingers on the brake levers.

FYI for the group, I still have not found a way to do this.

It seems muscle/brain memory to always toggle to 0 is best option.

For you maybe. For me, I need to use the bike to keep my balance as I'm getting on or off (old fart w/tall bike syndrome). My hand will be on the brake anyway - which virtually assures the motor isn't going to move the bike if it is accidentally engaged somehow.

+ 2 for me.
