KM529-LCD zero start.

[TomFrost50]

Hi All,

Apologies if this is a question that has been asked and answered before. i have a couple of E-MTB in regular use for me and my wife, and recently bought one for my dad to use on his farm so he can strap it to the back of the tractor in the morning, and then come home for lunch and coffee break and things without bring the whole tractor/cultivator back.

my question is this: Is it possible to set the KM529 so it can zero start?

Many thanks in advance for your help in this question.

do you mean like a twist and go throttle?
almost no bikes can do zero start without a throttle, including German bikes, they all need the bikes to move forward a little before starting the motor to avoid accident at traffic lights.

hi.. sorry I may have used the wrong term. What I mean is currently my dad has to do one complete turn of the pedals before the twist throttle will function, and if he breaks or releases the throttle, he has to do another full pedal turn before the throttle will work again.

on my other e-bikes, which use a KT LCD3, that can be disabled so you can simply twist the throttle and off you go. is that possible to set up on the KM529?

it's possible to reprogram the controller to do that.
Where about do you live? if it's not too far from Southend, pop in to see us.

Hi. I live in Bedford but my dad who the bike is for lives in maldon. I was due to take it to him this Friday. Is it a long job? Could I bring it to you Friday early afternoon and take it away that day?

"Zero-start" is the Chinese phrase for an independent throttle., so you did use the correct term - sort of.

it only takes 2 minutes to set up, 20 seconds to flash the controller.
which bike have you got?

It's a greenway full suspension mtb.

 

[Woosh]

uh uh.. I don't have the code image file for its controller.

 

[TomFrost50]

Does that mean it can't be done?

 

[Woosh]

I I load the wrong code file, the controller won't work.

 

[TomFrost50]

Would greenway likely have the code file? This is the bike BTW.

 

[Woosh]

you have to ask them.

 

[TomFrost50]

I've emailed greenway to see if they have the file. Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it.

Hi all. Don't know if this helps at all. As the bike doesn't have a separate box or bag, I'm assuming the controller is built into the hub. I've taken the below pics. It appears to be a bafang? If anyone has the code file for this and would be willing to send it to me and/or woosh, I would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance.

Tom.

The controller will either be incorporated in the battery or in the down tube I suspect, follow the hub motor cable and it will feed in to it.

I'm assuming the controller is built into the hub.

the controller is in the compartment below the Dorado battery, inside the downtube.
