    Quick question r.e. BBS02B & SW102

    Quick update for future reference: I've finally had some more time to tinker with the bike. It turns out the SW102 references pedal assist levels 1-4 in the programming software. I wasn't getting the top speed I wanted because max assist on the buttons was only around 40% of Speed Limit.

    Quick question r.e. BBS02B & SW102

    Oh okay? In my experience no IGH likes shifting under power, motor or no motor. So I've always been in the habit of stop pedalling before I shift, hence I haven't bothered with the gear change sensor. I wish I could afford to experiment a bit more liberally with this because it's also been my...

    Hi Peter, thank you for your reply. I do have an interface cable and laptop. The popular 'Hacker's Guide To Programming the BBS02' does say, as you say, that the five levels are 1,3,5,7,9. But I thought I'd double check as this guide is now 7 years old and I don't seem to be getting as much out...

    Quick question r.e. BBS02B & SW102

    First time poster, so please excuse any poor forum etiquette. I've searched the forum for an answer, but I haven't found anything conclusive. Hopefully this is just a yes/no question. I have the above motor and display combination. The PAS settings on the display are 'OFF - ECO - TOUR - SPORT -...

    Long time cycle enthusiast, new to ebikes

    Recently built, currently tuning a BBS02B on an old Genesis with Alfine 8 IGH. Am keen to find answers to some questions as well as share what learn along the way. Also like to generally peruse and see what's going on in the world of electric transport.
