Bafang throttle settingsLink

Accessible from menu Bafang Throttle

ButtonsLink

Initialize - Reads all Bafang Basic/Pedal/Throttle settings at once. After this procedure both Road/OffRoad would have identical settings.

Road or OffRoad - switch between profiles.

Read controller - reads controller Throttle settings.

Info - provides information for the Bafang switch mode.

Write - writes the Throttle settings to controller. If the operation is successful it updates the settings on the display as well.

BASICLink

Designated assistLink

The value of the assist power level.

If set to Display command the assist level shown on the display would be considered.

Disable throttle assistLink

  1. Set Designated Assist to 0
  2. Configure Assist Levels in Bafang basic settings page
  3. For Assist 0 set Limited Current(%) = 0 and Limited Speed = 0. In some cases value 1 should be set
  4. Your Throttle assist should no longer work

Enable throttle assist - PAS dependentLink

  1. Set Designated assist to Display Command
  2. Configure Assist Levels in Bafang basic settings page
  3. Set desired values for Limited Current(%) and Limited Speed for Assist 1 - 9
  4. Your Throttle assist should be limited based on the PAS level you see on display

Enable throttle assist - always max powerLink

  1. Set Designated assist to 9
  2. Configure Assist Levels in Bafang basic settings page
  3. For Assist 0 set Limited Current(%) = 100 and Limited Speed = 100
  4. Your Throttle assist should work the same (speed and current limit) no matter what PAS level you see on display

Speed limitLink

The value of the speed limit.

If set to Display command the value from Max Speed Road or Max Speed OffRoad from Display settings page will be used.

Start current (%)Link

The percentage of available current applied when the throttle is first engaged. Lower values produce a smoother startup; values of 5 or 10 are recommended. The minimum accepted value is 1.

ADVANCEDLink

Throttle modeLink

Options

  • Speed
  • Current

Tip

Switching this to Current Mode (instead of Speed mode) improves the throttle response smoothness.

Start voltage (x100mV)Link

Attention

Do not change this value unless you really know what you are doing.

The throttle input voltage at which the controller begins to respond. The default value of 11 corresponds to 1.1V. As the throttle is applied, the voltage rises from zero and the motor engages once it reaches this threshold. A value between 10 and 15 is recommended. If set too low, the motor may run continuously and trigger a display error. If the throttle is replaced, the correct minimum value must be redetermined for the new component.

End voltage (0x100mV)Link

Attention

Do not change this value unless you really know what you are doing.

The maximum value of 42 corresponds to 4.2V, the highest throttle input the controller accepts. Setting a lower value reduces the linearity and smoothness of the throttle response.
