This manual provides essential instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your BAFANG Display Unit. This display is designed for use with BAFANG BBSHD, BBS02B, and BBS01B mid-drive motor kits.

Important Compatibility Note: This display unit requires a BAFANG motor with a UART Protocol (versions 5.0-5.8). The Human Machine Interface (HMI) is compatible with the Bus system RS 232.

The display unit is designed for quick and straightforward installation. It typically mounts to the handlebar or stem of your bicycle. Secure the display firmly using the provided mounting hardware. Connect the display cable to the corresponding port on your BAFANG mid-drive motor kit. Ensure all connections are snug to prevent water ingress.

The BAFANG display unit is designed with an International Protection Rating of IP65, meaning it is protected against contact and ingress of water and dirt.

  • Ensure the e-bike battery is charged and properly connected.
  • Verify the power button is being pressed and held correctly.

  • Ensure all motor and display cables are securely connected.
  • Check for any error codes displayed on the screen and consult the BAFANG support resources for their meaning.
• Incorrect Speed/Distance Readings:
  • Verify that the wheel size setting in the display's configuration menu matches your bicycle's actual wheel size.
