Installation
The controller LCD is designed to be installed in the middle of the handlebars above the stem.
Remove the two securing bolts from the clamps and stretch the clamps over the handlebars.
Rubber shims are provided for secruing the display to smaller diameter handlebars. Once the
correct shims are in place re-fit the securing bolts and tighten them until the display is secure (i.e.
until the display cannot be rotated easily). Note that doing the securing bolts up too tight could
damage the clamps.
LCD Functions
Speed Display
Shows current speed in either km/h or mil/h (user selectable)
Battery Indicator
Six horizontal segments show the current charge state of the battery (each segment represents
17% of the capacity of the battery). When the battery reaches 15% capacity the battery indicator
will appear empty and start to flash, indicating the the battery needs to be charged.
NOTE: When a high assist setting is used and the motor is under load the battery indicator may
drop suddenly, then recover when the motor is not under load. This is normal and is due to the
internal voltage drop in the battery and wiring at high current.
Trip Distance
Trip distance can be reset manually and is also reset when the controller is powered off.
Odometer
Shows the total distance travelled (odometer can not be reset). This is useful for servicing.
Movement Time
This is the total time for which the pedals have been turning. It can be reset manually and is also
reset when the controller is powered off.
Power Assist Level
The current power assist level is displayed on a bar graph to the left of the screen

Backlight
The LCD has a backlight for use in low light levels. A lamp icon is displayed when the backlight is
on.
Wheel Diameter
The wheel diameter can be set from 8” to 28”. The default setting is 26”
Speed Sensor
The speed sensor type and number of pulses per wheel revolution can be adjusted if required. If
the speed sensor provided with the kit is used this setting should be left at the default value.
Diagnostic Code
If a fault is detected a spanner will appear in the lower left corner of the display and the diagnostic
code will be displayed where the speed normally appears. The diagnostic codes are explained at
the end of this manual.
USB Charging Output
A USB type-A outlet is provided on the LCD display. It can be used to charge devices such as mobile
phones. The output is 5V and a maximum current of 700mA can be supplied.

Operation and Settings
Plus Minus Mode Power
Powering the Controller On
Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds to turn the controller on. The controller can be powered off by
holding the power button for another 2 seconds. The controller will automatically power off if no activity is
detected for 5 minutes.
NOTE: The bike should always be at a standstill when the controller is powered on so that it can perform it's selfdiagnostic. If you turn the controller on while you are riding the bike or if you have your feet on the pedals this
will probably put the controller into a fault state as it expects the reading from the torque sensor to be zero
during the self-diagnostic.

Setting the Assist Level
There are four assist levels ( “ECO” “, TOUR” “, SPEED” and “TURBO”) and the power assist can also be turned
off. Press the plus button to increase the power assist level and the minus button to decrease the assist
level.
(no power assist) ECO TOUR SPEED TURBO
Setting the Display Mode
Press the information button to toggle through “ODO”, “TRIP”, “AVG” and “TIME” displays.
Advanced Settings
To enter the Advanced Menu, turn the display off and then press and hold and for three seconds. Now
press to toggle through the advanced options.
• “d1” - Set the wheel diameter of the bike. Default is 26”.
