Warning
Warning: These robust controller kits are intended for off-road use, featuring on/off throttle applications rather than continuous throttle usage. Any e-bikes modified with these controllers and tunes should not be operated on public roads. Installing an aftermarket controller and opting for a high-powered tune could potentially damage your motor. Even with motor temperature protection activated, exceeding the motor’s limits can still result in harm. Follow the advice below to ensure the longevity of your motor:
– Limit wide-open throttle usage to 10 to 15 seconds.
– Avoid consistently running at maximum power.
– Use the appropriate power mode as needed and refrain from regularly operating the bike at high power levels.
– Minimize extended periods of riding at 3/4 or full power, especially during long-distance cycling.
If you anticipate using your bike for extended rides with continuous throttle, it’s imperative to significantly reduce the tune’s power level to prevent damage. For instance, while the stock bike in Sport mode operates at 5–6 kW with full throttle, adding a BAC8000 and a powerful battery can increase the power to 15 kW, three times the base bike’s power. Expecting the motor to withstand this increase in power without strain is unrealistic. Exercise caution and good judgment when modifying and operating e-bikes.
To ensure optimal performance and safety when riding in damp conditions, please adhere to the following guidelines:
– Ensure that the control connection plugs on the motor controller are positioned at the top when mounted.
– Apply dielectric grease to all electrical connectors, especially those connecting to the motor controller, to prevent contamination, water ingress, and dirt accumulation. Avoid overfilling connectors with dielectric grease; instead, use it sparingly to provide a barrier against contaminants.
– Disconnect the bike harness from the brake sensor plugs by cutting them at the brake levers or unscrewing the plugs from the ignition/USB charger cover. Aftermarket controllers may render these brake lever sensors inoperative, but if they remain connected and water infiltrates the system, they could cause short circuits, resulting in unexpected acceleration and other issues.
– When washing the bike, avoid directing water, hoses, or pressure washers near the engine controller to prevent damage.
