    BMS Low Voltage Cutout

    Battery BMS LVC will cut power fully, until the battery is reset. This will obviously turn off the Bafang totally. The Bafang LVC soft cuts the power. It feels like a stuttering sensation in the motor unit. The display will stay on, but power is drastically reduced.

    Bafang Display

    Don't need the old display, but I like the way the new one shows current rather wattage :)

    No probs, just be sure that any battery you do buy is rated for a continuous 20+ amps.

    BB02 500w - cuts out under load - help!!

    Although pricey, I can vouch that the dolphin style frame batteries from Eclipse Bikes, work perfectly with BBS02's. http://www.eclipsebikes.com/116ah-lithium-frame-battery-samsung-cells-p-1105.html

    BB02 500w - cuts out under load - help!!

    With rear wheel off ground, the Bafang will only draw a few amps maximum to spin the wheel. With the wheel on the ground, a person on the saddle and starting from standstill, it could require 20 amps+. This condition can cause an old worn battery to sag to BMS low voltage cut-off point.

    Oh right, I assumed the battery was new. Most likely the battery can't provide enough amps for the Bafang then.

    BB02 500w - cuts out under load - help!!

    Depending on how the Bafang is programmed, it can draw a lot of current from the battery under load. It may be that the battery is sagging badly under load and tripping out the BMS' low voltage cut-off. It's not the Bafang's low voltage cut-off, as this produces a stuttering sensation in the...

    Help us build a better Ebike battery

    During the warmer months, I tend to ride twice a day. Unfortunately, it's a six hour wait to charge up for the second ride, so yes, fast charging would be good for me.

    What battery are you using? A link to vendor would be useful.

    It would be nice to see the pack capable of providing continuous currents of 20 amps+, without sagging badly or cycles dropping to unreasonable levels.

    Recommend me a new front light

    Had a similar issue when I bought mine, but with Halfords online. Order went through, home delivery specified, but never arrived after 10 days. Only after contacting Halford's customer services, did I find out that it had been delivered to my local branch instead. Thanks for telling me Halfords...

    powerbyke x24 mk1

    Stan, if the bike has a pedal sensor as well as a throttle, and both don't work, then it's highly likely to be a controller or motor issue. You've already tested the battery and you say you have lights on the handlebar display. Time to look at the areas of the controller and motor. If the...

    No chance, she'd throw me in the chocolate candy guzzle wuzzle machine :D

    I call the mother-in-law an umpa lumpa, but that's more down to her size than colour.

    Mudguard recommendations

    Luv the fat rear mudguard, but it looks like it's lacking in protecting the bike frame in the seat tube/battery area.
