Maybe it's useful to say that when you fold the bike, you have to do the trick again to unlock the throttle after unfolding it again. Takes only a few seconds, after getting use to the 4 steps, as Robert mencioned: Throttle(1)/front brake(2)/back brake(3)/switch on the panel and wait 20 sec.(4). Then switch all off, before start to use it. Thanks for the great tips and for being so precise on your explanations, this can be complicated for some of us!

Being able to make "changes" is not always a "hack" it is also about safety for a youngster on their first e-bike. Throttle control from start can help with stability so safer when starting off.

Thank you sooo much for mentioning that last thing with the factory setting. I bought a brand new e scooter that used the s866 system and the scooter stoped working after 15 mins of use when i first got it. Then it never worked after that. The scooter would not acellerede. So the day before i was about the send the scooter back to the company i found this video. So i found the factory settings for the scooter and it finally worked after spending days trying to get this to ride agian 🙏🙏❤️

I think I'd be more interested in electric propulsion if sodium ion batteries were used instead of lithium. There is so much sodium around and obtaining sodium is not ecologically destructive as is mining for lithium. Sodium can also be easily neutralised once the cycle life of the battery is over thus making them very easy to dispose of without the toxic hazards associated with lithium products.

Absolutely brilliantly explained, as always. Was just wondering if you would be able to expand on P18, 19 & 20 please? Other videos stated that P20 wasn't used, but mine has three settings 0, 1 & 2. Not knowing what ANY of them were for, I fiddled with each one in turn, and then regretted it, as my bike wouldn't work for hours - until I found a factory reset video. I got error codes E 08 & E 030 at different settings of P20. Don't know which setting got them to appear, or what I did to clear them, but they're gone now. Would be good to know what these three settings are for though. My bike is a Heybike Mars (I think - it looks identical to your A20), with an S866 controller. Cheers and thanks for another great video.
@garyhymes2 жыл бұрын
I bought this bike 5 months ago and happy with it, for the price it's worth it. It still needs regular maintenance and tightening every month or so. One thing to note is that it's easy to disable the "Throttle mode" if you turn it on while accidentally holding down one of the breaks or accelerator. This can be confusing especially since the console provides no indication. The battery will only last 30+ KM if you're using a lot of throttle mode only.

Thanks for detailed explanation. Have my a20f and I must say I am disappointed. Despite setting P12 to 0 which means acceleration strength set to min, the bike pulls strong each time making a ride far from smooth. I also increased number if gears to 5 and still even at 1st pulls strong making ride on crowded places tricky. Pity it is not torque sensor bike. Any ideas?
@dtz10008 ай бұрын
You should have got an Engwe engine X. It has no torque sensor but you can control the acceleration strength much easier than this bike because it depends what power setting you choose and it's got 5 of them. Also it has many other advantages over this ebike.

How do I go about getting the two motors to talk to each other and the joystick in such a way that they can interpolate say a diagonal input into the necessary speeds for each wheel. Is there a product on the market that would walk me through this? I don't have any coding abilities and I am not terribly skilled on a computer. I have no problem developing the mechanical platform.
