    EM3EV battery bluetooth BMS alternative

    Hope this hasn't already been posted. Must've missed the thread if it has. There's an alternative app to the supplied app that EM3EV provides, when you buy one of their batteries which has the bluetooth BMS. This is the Google Play Store link, but you can just search for 'EM3EV BMS Monitor'...

    52V downtube packs: EM3EV 35E vs Electron 21700 vs other?

    I would have to agree with wheeliepete, the EM3EV pack is impecably built. I've got the 48v 15Ah version with LG HG2 cells. The bluetooth BMS is a nice feature to check on charging, discharging, cell condition etc. As you say, the 35E's may not be ideal for repeated high current demand (they'll...

    Bafang-bbs01. Can read but not write flash :/

    I was reading a thread from the german pedelecs website, but it is still unclear whether there are definitely certain BBS01 controllers which are firmware locked, or whether it is user error or poor quality programming cables...

    Bafang-bbs01. Can read but not write flash :/

    I have a theory, that some BBS mid drive motors come with controllers that are firmware locked. The reasons for this could be: 1) Prevent users programming, to minimize warranty returns from maxing parameters and blowing controllers. 2) On ready built bikes, the controller is already programmed...

    PSWPOWER - DO NOT USE THEM

    Same as Scorpio, they've been on my shortlist a few times, but I've never actually bought from them. Thanks for the heads-up.

    So... How much should I Dremel this bottom bracket?

    IIRC, the Bafang axle housing that slides into the BB is coated in a layer of paint. Do you think sanding that layer off, might give you some extra clearance?

    New BBSxx programming software

    Thought I would give the app a proper 'real world' test today, instead of playing with it in my shed like yesterday. As I always have my phone with me on rides anyway, all I needed to take extra was the programming cable and the OTG adapter. Stopped, changed a few parameters, rode a little...

    New BBSxx programming software

    Tested this out with my cable, which has a CH340G USB to serial converter and it works a treat on my Pixel 3A. This is the cable: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282891248569?hash=item41dda1e3b9:g:FLEAAOSwwnBgnNny Used the little adapter that came with my phone, which is a USB A to USB C. As...

    Hi, and need to adjust BBSO1B

    One of the reasons why the motor could be struggling up hills, is that the controllers usually come from the vendors, programmed with one of the parameters set quite low. This parameter is called 'Keep Current'. This can only be changed by using a programming cable, as found in the following...

    Bafang PAS vs Throttle

    Running 'Keep Current' at 100%, shouldn't create any problems. You'll probably notice the bike climbs hills better, at the expense of slightly reduced total miles per battery charge.

    Problem with my Bafang HD

    If you suspect it might be the bike's drivetrain and possibly not the actual motor/controller, try taking the chain off the chainring and rotating the pedals. Bike must be powered up. You'll get an error on the display IIRC, coz the rear wheel sensor won't detect the wheel turning, but it'll...

    Problem with my Bafang HD

    Yeah, it's not a cheap hobby.... just don't tell the wife :oops:

    Problem with my Bafang HD

    Just buy a new controller. It'll solve any uncertainty that the issue is the controller. If it turns out to be a problem other than the controller, at least you'll have a spare one for the future. BTW, changing out MOSFETs on these are a PITA :oops:

    Problem with my Bafang HD

    All looks fine. I have to agree with mxer, that the inner wire sticking out of the blue sheath isn't good, even if you find out it's not the cause of the original problem.

    Cannondale conversion BBA02B 500/750w

    I can't help you with the battery, but I just thought I'd mention that it might be a good idea to fit the front derailleur cage on again. You don't need the shifters or cabling. I did exactly the same thing when I fitted my BBS02, but found that the chain sometimes jumped off the chainring over...

    New installation of frame mount battery for off road

    Great build, on a nice bike. I've got the Velcro straps on mine too, for peace of mind. Thought I would point you to the following thread, as there's some handy things on there for the BBS series: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/after-market-bbsxx-crank-drive-gear.32691/page-4
