I tried other slow start settings, but didn't seem to make any difference so just reverted back to 4.

I agree that some of the problem could be the low start current. Coupled with the ramp up, 20% is never going to be quick off the mark. I toyed with my start current a while back, and 10% was unbearably lacklustre. It does give you the perception that nothing is happening at the pedals. I have...

None of the parameters in your pictures look right. Keep current is far too low and I would be surprised if the bike would even move with it set at 1%. As I said, some parameters cannot be changed outside of certain numbers. Did you take the screenshot pictures after you pressed 'Read Flash'?

It probably won't allow you to write to flash if you are trying to change parameters outside of what the firmware allows. For example, changing max current above 15A, or pedal assist start current above 50%.

If you are in the UK, why not pop into Halfords. They usually let you ride around the carpark to get a feel for the bike. Bigger stores have a wider selection of electric bikes though!

This does make me wonder if Bafang changed the design slightly, with less thread. Be interesting to know if the latest units ship with two nuts on the axle, or just the one, with that rubberized seal plug thing to stop the nut from loosening. I use Fuchs Ceplattyn 300

@Scuba Steve Fitted mine yesterday and as you quite rightly stated, it's a direct replacement. I did notice, though not a problem, that the thread on the locknut side is a few threads shorter than my old axle. This meant that I could only fit the one nut and didn't have enough threads to fit...

Thanks for the reply. When I wrote 'quickness of payouts', I had in mind if anyone works or has worked at potential companies :oops: Aviva is already on my short list, so will also pop Co-op on there too :)

I'm planning on taking out a life insurance policy that will pay a fixed lump sum to my spouse in the event of my death. I would like to put out the feelers on this forum on which companies members are using, so I can make an informed decision. I'd favour company reliability, reputation and...

Aha, didn't realise Insat were selling fully built batteries. Good stuff :)

A tip off to eBay from big D perhaps :rolleyes:

Totally agree, the written comment doesn't even make sense.

Not too bad to be honest. I wouldn't be riding without power as a general rule, but fine as a get you home if the battery runs out of juice. Battery link: http://eclipsebikes.com/index.php?cPath=30_31&osCsid=05b0c71864b8630d7b6d9ccf8cd6f970 I've bought two batteries from Eclipse, and they've...

Crikey, 28 units sold since the 27th of this month. Either that's gonna be 28 very happy peeps, or sorely disappointed :rolleyes:

I don't usually disagree with peeps on this forum, but personally I wouldn't be cutting any cabling on the BBS harness or extra wiring from the motor unit. Any short circuiting or water ingress could cause major problems later on. Stick with trying to tie the cabling neatly out of the way.

Zip tie out of the way, but waterproof the ends first.

Bugger, should have read the title, just bought 700. Have I been scammed? :rolleyes:

I think you are correct about the cadence thing, as the PAS sensor is merely an on/off switch, so theoretically the controller doesn't factor in how fast the rider is pedaling. I reckon the 'Keep Current' operation is based on a time delay. It gives you max amps at start up, then settles down...

I've read these are a big of a bugger to remove. Is that the case, or has anyone managed to remove one without damaging the seal?
