BTW Where did you buy your battery from [mention=28721]Jaxter[/mention] ? Do you have a link? One of our battery boffins can probably tell you what continuous amps your battery is safely capable of producing.

I dont know but he did say in our time together that he was suprised he had no trouble with the battery as your meant to charge it regular.

I was looking at the firmware thread on endless sphere earlier today, i need to get my 2 major niggles sorted first then get a little familiar with the bike then get my head around tweaking software to my liking.

 

Thanks for that its the first thing i will be messing with, as for the battery its the

Yosepower 48v 12.5h one im sure i have a 48v 17.5 Hailong battery i brought for the build but he used the one i got as a spare as the bigger battery wouldnt fit in the frame

Just stuck both batteries on charge, the one attached to the bike (was more or less full) but thought I'd give the Hailong battery some juice to keep it in good nick, the Hailong charger fan is bloody loud, so after my initial disappointment that the smaller battery was fitted, every cloud hey

Because I wanted to retain my bike's folding capability, my downtube Hailong-like 19.2ah battery is on the rear rack.

So i was actually being a bit of a wuss about going out on my new bike so i nutted up and got on it today, i started with a few rotations round the block getting used to how the bike handles to changing the gears and getting a feel for the motor and the different pas modes.

After building up my confidence i took a mile trip round to my brothers so he could have a go then back up to my local bike shop £15 and they sorted my slipping gears, so awsome the major niggle sorted, now filled with confidence i headed for the hill dropped down into granny gear pas level 9 and flew up it, hooray. Then i just went dossing testing the bike out and building my confidence, its bloody great runs smooth and fast when needed im more then happy with it im loving it so far.

One thing im not sure what exactly my display is its an intelligent branded one my control panel only has a plus and minus button how do i get into display settings

If you think that's good just wait until you get a programming cable !

thats not the one the little doohickey with the minus and plus buttons is seperate to the display, although i will check to see if i have a button on the bottom as its a possibility.

Can you upload a photo? Someone here might recognise it. If there's a button marked "i", give that two quick button presses, after the system has been switched on.

Hi mate, I figured it out it was a double press of the power button to enter the menu, I think the display is a 850c

Deffo get that programming cable.

Oh my God, there's no comparison and I say that as a man who loves his d4s it's served me really well for over 2 years never missed a beat, having no suspension it was a bumpy ride on city streets slightly negated by fat arse cushy suspension seat and swapping out the thin tyres for schwalbe big Ben plus, this also made it far heavier though.

The bafang eats up those hills that my fiido would crawl to a snails pace and then need me to peddle like a maniac to get over, but it's on a big carerra centros frame which even with the seat at its lowest I have to lean slightly whilst standing over bike to get my feet flat , so for me right now for cruising and pure fun the bafang, for errands like shopping the fiido as it slips into the shops I go to better.

I am contemplating though trying to sell my fiido and I'd love to try a torque sensing motor so make a utility bike with a Tongsheng, I was looking at the Cannondale adventure bike a Tongsheng married to that fully out fitted with fenders rack basket would be great for running around doing chores, I've no idea about compatibility but if course I'd ask here before committing any dosh.

If I order a bafang programming cable off Amazon are they all compatible?

Thanks for that. I've never tried a Fiido or BBS02 - I imagine if my BBS01B was on steroids, it'd be like the BBS02. My BBS01B conquers all hills, but more slowly.

...and that's the magic of 20" folding bikes Despite having bought locks, I take my bike in everywhere.

I haven't seen a folder converted with a TSDZ2. I think mine is the only 20" wheeled BBS01B folding bike conversion on this forum.

I have actually never folded my d4s since it was brought i got no garage or shed and just roll it into the front room of the house, hasnt been an issue as we stripped it all out when we had new heating system fitted and my decorating skills are probably as bad as my diy skills so the mrs will do it, but shes constantly trying to fit 48 hours into a 24 hour day so cant see that being any time soon.

I did get a telling so ur going to have 2 bikes ? so it could become an issue but i will cross that bridge when it comes, I have ordered the programming cable as i rad through the thread and when you said difficulty doing u turns exact same problem im having.

I wont get to mess until the weekend cant wait.

Definitely upload screenshots of your settings before making changes. There are a few Bafang mid-drive owners here. I wouldn't increase the controller's current limit, as far as I know most Yose batteries use cheap Chinese battery cells... therefore pushing them wouldn't be safe.

I just want to smooth out that jerkiness and override the throttle being locked to the pas speed anything else is a bonus.

Throttles can also stress batteries, depending on how much current they're enabling the use of - it's one of the reasons why I removed mine. I want my battery to live forever, but of course it can't.

I have definitely noticed im peddling way more on the bafang then i do on my fiido, i really only use throttle to get started unfortunately its a must as the bikes just so high if i try a peddle only start im wobbling all over the place.

I've got used to gearing down ahead of time before stopping. Then I rip up through the gears after I start pedalling, and there are no crunches because on my bike the gear sensor disengages power swiftly between gear changes - from what others have reported on this forum, that doesn't work as well on their bikes. I do miss having a throttle when starting uphill... which is when I sometimes have to turn, go downhill a short distance before turning to power back up.

 

I replaced all outer cable housings - I'm wondering if my using this outer cable with a "Kevlar internal layer" has made my gear shifts faster? Fast gear changes might be easier for the gear sensor to detect? After cutting the outer cable to size, I opened the ends out a bit, to ensure free movement of the internal gear cable (Jagwire stainless steel gear cable looked the smoothest) and filed the cut wire of the outer cable housing smooth, before inserting aluminium ferrules and sealing both ends of the gear sensor with self-amalgamating rubber tape, to keep water and dust out.

On the other hand, all of the stuff above about cables could be completely irrelevant, and old Dahons could simply be great bikes

well oppurtunity knocks, out of work early home showered and programming cable has arrived, going by this guide here https://edrivenet.com/bafang-programming/

I am a going to use his default profile for the 750w 48v motor and see how i get on, wish me luck

 

First reprogramming seemed to go smooth as butter, now to disconnect from pc get suited and booted and take for a test run.

 

Well the reprograming worked out great went out and tested for a while all that jerkiness has been smoothed out i love it.

Unfortunately i have just run into a problem i reprogrammed then charged the bike to full, went out the battery percentage said 87 percent left which seemed high as i was riding for a good while mainly pas, now ive gor home and plugged the charger into battery and im getting no life from charger as in no red light to say its charging, help

 

Ok i came across this thread https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/charger-light-wont-come-on.39586/

and they suggested pulling the wire with the travel adapter and replacing with standard uk kettle plug, so i did and happy days it worked.
