3.2 Adjust Display Settings

Once inside the Advanced Display Settings menu, navigate through the available options using the display controls.

Backlight

The Backlight setting controls display brightness.

Available Levels:

• Level 1 = Lowest brightness

• Level 2

• Level 3

• Level 4

• Level 5 = Highest brightness (Factory Default)

Unit

Select your preferred speed unit:

• MPH (Miles Per Hour)

• KM/H (Kilometers Per Hour)

Gear Ratio

If you have changed sprocket sizes from the factory setup, adjust the Gear Ratio setting accordingly.

If your bike is still using the factory sprockets, leave this setting at its default value.

Front Wheel Size

If you have changed the front wheel size from stock, update the Front Wheel Size setting.

If your bike is using the factory wheel size, leave this setting unchanged.

EABS Rating (Regenerative Braking)

Available Settings:

• 0 = Regen Off

• 1 = 25% Regen

• 2 = 50% Regen

• 3 = 75% Regen

• 4 = 100% Regen

Higher settings provide stronger regenerative braking when releasing the throttle.

Expected Result: Your selected settings will be saved and applied to the display and bike operation.

4. Pro Tips & Common Issues

Pro Tips

✅ Record Your Factory Settings
Before making changes to the EABS, Gear Ratio, or Wheel Size settings, make note of the original values. This makes it easy to return to the factory configuration if needed.

🔋 Adjust EABS to Match Your Riding Style
Lower EABS settings provide a free-rolling feel with minimal regenerative braking, while higher settings create stronger deceleration when releasing the throttle. Test different levels to find your preferred balance.

⚙️ Only Modify Gear Ratio and Wheel Size When Necessary
These settings directly affect speed and distance calculations. If your bike still has the factory sprockets and wheel sizes installed, leave these settings unchanged.

☀️ Increase Backlight for Better Visibility
If you frequently ride in bright sunlight, setting the Backlight to Level 5 will provide maximum screen visibility.

📊 Reset Ride Data Before Tracking a Ride
Clearing your Trip Distance, Average Speed, and Maximum Speed before a ride provides the most accurate ride statistics.

Common Issues & Fixes

Additional Notes

⚠️ Changing the Gear Ratio or Front Wheel Size settings without corresponding hardware changes may result in inaccurate speed, distance, and ride data readings.

⚠️ EABS settings only affect regenerative braking behavior and do not increase the bike's power output or top speed.
