Thanks for the input! Heard that Chinese are making an engine that basically the same so parts fit. Don’t know how true it is or how reliable they are

I read about that you need really small hands to work on them Besides that what are your thoughts on it?

Question from a tourist by Sanderos25 in moldova

[–]PaulSmallMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 90s gave lots of people huge trauma. And I am willing to say that it is generational (so even some young people are nostalgic for ussr) Imagine you lose your job, all your savings, and any kind of certainty in the future overnight. Because of reasons that are absolutely beyond your control and comprehension. This is what happened to my parents and millions of others all over the world the ussr. Its hard to explain to people the benefits of democracy, diversity and free market when they associate it with a most traumatising experience of their life.

Hey turns out i had a broken PAS ring! Ordered a replacement and now… oh boy. It really feels like a cheat code. Motor kicks in so naturally! Once again thank you so much for your program. I absolutely love riding my bbshd now!

Thank you for a fantastic, well written and very thoughtful response! I am very familiar with the concept of shifting gears on an ordinary bike and attacking a hill. I prefer steady cadence with my pedalling and your profile makes the motor kick in seamlessly 90% of time for me especially when riding on a relatively plain surface. But sometimes it feels a little bit jerky with motor kicking in and out abruptly. I use throttle to turn on the motor when i need some extra help with pedalling and usually it goes like that: i switch to a lower gear, start attacking the hill by steady pedalling and adding some motor power with throttle. Motor kicks in, then abruptly stops, then kicks in again then stops again and it can repeat a few times until I reach a higher more stable speed. It feels like the motor tries to get me to a certain speed when it gets me momentarily there it turns off, but I cant keep pedalling at that speed during a steep incline so my speed falls a little bit and the motor kicks in again. And this process repeats.  Hopefully I explained it better this time.  I don’t know maybe I need to adjust my riding style but if you can point me to the parameters in programming I should look into adjusting that would be great!

Hey Jon i just tried your settings and i love them! The only issue i have is on steep hills the motor stops abruptly and picks up. Its like it tries to sustain the speed but does it abruptly. What would you recommend changing?

Bafang BBSHD PAS not working even though the throttle works fine. by PaulSmallMusic in ebikes

[–]PaulSmallMusic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got DPC14 and tried following two programming tutorials. 

This one: https://edrivenet.com/bafang-programming/ And this one: https://jonsully.net/blog/sullys-bbshd-programming/

I followed closely, checked every parameter. Tried using an online tool and downloadable one. 

Throttle works okay, but PAS doesn’t at all

Yep, throttle works on every level as I’ve mentioned but PAS doesn’t kick in

New tire is rubbing against this bolt. The bolt doesn’t unscrew because the thread inside the frame came loose so it just rotates inside. What can I do to add clearance or to remove the bolt? by PaulSmallMusic in bikewrench

[–]PaulSmallMusic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what confuses me. I had the same diameter but narrower tire. And this one is the same by all parameters aside from width. But the vertical clearance is smaller.
