Hi guys! I recently visited the Accell Group in Simi Valley, California, and got to check out some entry-level Haibikes which use the base model Yamaha PWseries mid-drive motor and associated LCD display. I really love this display because it's removable, large and easy to see, and has a remote button pad with a Micro-USB port to maintain and charge your portable electronics, like a phone for GPS or a secondary headlight. The following video goes over most of the standard readouts, how to change the clock and switch units from miles to kilometers, as well as how to reset trip stats.
As always, I welcome your feedback on error codes, what works and what could use improvement for this display, and anything else. I personally was bummed out that Yamaha has disabled walk mode for North America (it didn't work for me, and this is what an Accell Group rep had told me). Considering that Bosch allows it (and many of the smaller brands) but Trek, Shimano, and Yamaha do not... it seems like the field is 50/50. Walk mode isn't something I use a lot, but it can be handy, and I feel that maybe these companies are being too sensitive about the throttle Class 2 thing. A ~2 mph walk mode is not a throttle, and could really benefit you during a flat tire, getting out of a cellar or up some other kind of ramp, or just walking across the grass with a friend. Anyway, more details and tips follow:

Anyway, more details and tips follow:
- The display uses a coin battery CR2032 and shows the clock at all times, there's a little hole on the top right edge for use with a string leash or lanyard.
- The buttons on the control pad include Power (top edge), Up, Down, Lights, S (Settings or Select), and Walk Mode (bottom edge) which is disabled. The button pad is compact and seems well sealed against water and dust.
- To enter the settings menu, hold S and Power when starting the bike up, this lets you adjust the clock and change units from miles to kilometers using the up and down arrow keys and pressing S to confirm, press the Power button to exit.
- To reset trip stats, navigate to trip distance, average speed, or max speed by pressing the S button and then hold S until it clears.
- I believe that the control pad Micro-USB port puts out 5 Volts 500 Miliamps.
