Swytch gen 1 and gen 2 controllers

Featured Replies

Hi , the controller is called "EBike Thumb Throttle Speed Control For Electric Bike Bafang BBS01 BBS02 BBSHD UK " on ebay , is £8.99, not sure if will work but it did connect so don;t see why not , now I have to wait for my new controller and just read I could have got a 48v and would have been quicker ? seeing as I will prob have to buy a battery anyway(although I could wire the swytch battery somehow to the new controller ) may have been a better option to get a 48v controller, I will research now , thanks *edit, oh yeah is 48v also lol ooops is confusing , am getting there , slowly , lol

To anyone who may have issues with display on swytch , I ordered a replacement "neo display 132" and is working, again , and working well , really feeling that pull on p5, better than when using the broken one, I had to use it to "turn on" the bike , even though display didn't come on, the bike still worked but had to press power button on the broken display, anyway yeah, so the problem must have been the display, I thought might have been the controller side, phew*, , to be fair it did have a small crack in top right from previous owner , but not sure if that's what caused to fail as was working, for a bit , it was the older red led display (is called base display), new one is smaller , but looks pretty smart , has options like wheel size , top speed , power level , which is all I need , so happy , *edit also shows speed in mph or kmh , cost £30 for replacement , took 5 days to arrive.

For anyone trying to make a throttle work with their swytch kit I thought I'd share this info, I bought a third party bafang thumb throttle and did the wire "hack" where you swap the wires, I did as it said but didn't work , so it was sat there for months and today I thought hmmm maybe try a diff wire connection , so I went white to white, red to black and black to red as shown in pic , and guess what, it only worked !!! :-D is a Bafang BBS01 BBS02 BBSHD £8.99, Just thought would share for any other swytch kit users out there looking for a throttle, just tested , works well on flats , slight slope, crawls up hill, as expected, but get's there, gets to max speed on flat fairly quickly, I may upgrade to a higher amp output controller with an lcd one day to get that extra power on a hill, but not sure how much to push the "250" watt motor , or which controller set up be best , so will prob leave as is , ya gotta put a bit of leg work in or is just a motorbike lol
