What symptoms you got?Hi,
Anyone know where I can get a new controller for my BBS02 36v 500w kit as I think I've fried mine
Thanks
£93 not sure they do 500w 36v though.Nice one, putting things back together now so will try that next.
Is there anyone in the uk where I could get one...kindda urgent
Should be covered under warranty. Try contacting the vendor you bought it from.Yeah I would seem that the controller is done. Tried what you suggested and no power at all...absolutely nothing only 3 months old.
What is BMSB?
Totally agree, at only 3 months old I would have gone back to the vendor first esp if it was U.K. sourced unit.Should be covered under warranty. Try contacting the vendor you bought it from.
Seriously consider a reprogramming cable, you don't have to change anything but it may help to look at the controller settings to see how they may affect future use.Thanks for the help...ordered on a slightly express delivery and just shy of £90.
I'll post back when I get it on.
The only way you will know how it's programmed is to use the cable.Ok so ordered the prog cable, will need some help with that later.
Contacted the seller who has replied asking for more info on the problem so waiting for a reply to that now.
One thing I didn't mention, not sure if it's relevant but out of the box this unit was spinning the wheel at 40 mph without any load. I have reached 36 mph while riding. When I first setup the kit I was surprised that it was this fast but was happy that it was so didn't think to much about it. I did install a separate bike computer to compare speed and distance and they were almost the same so I know the readout was correct.
I have since seen people mentioning hacking the BBS02 unit to get it to go 40 mph so is it possible that the controller I had working was setup in this way? As far as I'm aware the eBay seller just sells the units as they get them.
Thanks
If at any time you have laboured the motor in the wrong gear and at a high throttle or PAS level, then yes that can blow the controller.It wasn't my intention to run it any faster than was good for the unit as I'm not so concerned about speed, 20-25 is all I need. Realising it could go that fast did spur me to get it that fast while riding though.
So now I'm wondering if it could have damaged the motor (coil)?
I'll fit the new controller and go from there with the prog cable.
