    Sorry paxtana , I can't figure out how to reply to your comment above. Thank you for responding.

    I did open a trouble ticket and have now gotten a response. I'm considering this issue solved for now. Since I lubed it, I've cycled the battery into and out of the frame numerous times and it is getting easier to get it to lock into place. Maybe with wear, tear, and vibration of riding it will continue to get easier over time? I'll consider the problem solved for now but will follow up if it worsens again.

      Thru email exchange with Luna support I think we figured out that the problem was that the foam tape (added to stop rattling) was not allowing the battery to seat fully without a lot of force being applied. As that foam compressed further with multiple insertions the situation improved. So actually a pretty small problem that fixed itself!

    Hi everyone!

    I have an issue with my stock 48V M600 CAN protocol motor after I crashed and the display cable got severed. The cable severed in such a way the individual cores got shorted on each other. (See photo).

    I have now replaced the cable for a new one and have reconnected everything but the display wont power on! I have check that the motor is getting the correct voltage from the battery which it is. When the motor is given voltage from the battery I can hear a very quiet high frequency buzzing from the display, when I press buttons on the hand control I can hear the frequency of the buzzing change. When I hold the power button (as I would to switch the system on) I can hear the frequency change again, but nothing appears on the display.

    Here are the display and hand control I am using.

    I have not got a spare display to test yet (it is on it's way) and I haven't yet check the controller fuse or flashing LED yet (as per the M600 trouble shooting post), I will try these tonight.

    In the mean time has anyone got any ideas on what may be the fault? I really hope shorting the display cable wires hasn't fried anything on the controller!

    (P.S I have also opened a topic in the general discussion forum HERE)

    Best regards and have a great day!

      Hi Paxtana,

      Thanks for your reply. Apologies for the misinterpretation of this thread.

      Would a new controller and BESST, or the Ludicrous controller be something Luna could sell me?

      Thanks
      Alex

      Besst has been sold out at luna for a year or two, I do not believe it will be restocked any time soon. Currently ludi controllers are only authorized to be sold to folks that bought a luna bike. Over a long enough timeline that is likely to change, but not soon.

      Best bet is to find a bike shop that can do it for you or reach out to whoever sold you the motor or ebike that you got it from, m600 was not really designed to be user serviceable. If you are unable to find a bafang dealer in your country try this uk specific ebike forum https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/

      Instead of the original display, you can connect an Android smartphone to the Bafang - having a programming cable and a usb/smartphone adapter, and the Speeed application.. To which I gave a link somewhere earlier on the forum.

    In my latest build using a BBS02, DPC18 display and a 48V battery, I having an issue with the battery Voltage readout. It reads 100% all the time regardless of the actual charge level. I've set the controller to 48V, with a max of 54.6 and a low (0%) to 41V. I've not seen this in my previous 6 builds. Do you have any ideas for me to try?
    Thanks,

      Hi Tim - just for clarification, everything's new on this build? And, when you write, "battery Voltage readout", do you mean the display's graph, the text, or both?

      Depending on the display firmware, you may have a setting along the line of "36 volt/48volt/52volt" - if you do, I'd try the 52-volt setting (which won't hurt the display, just change the calculation) and see if the display indicates a lower voltage when the battery is at a discharged voltage level. Additionally, if you haven't already, I'd use a D.C.-capable multimeter and carefully measure the battery voltage, with everything connected and on.

      Independently testing the display's voltage accuracy through a voltage range could be complicated, depending on your resources and electrical experience/comfort level - but it is doable, given a known/calibrated variable D.C. power supply or similar low current and variable voltage source.

        The voltage readout is from the display text.
        Good idea about the display. All of my changes have been to the controller. I will try that next. Thanks!

      Hello Community,
      we found an old Ebike from Sanyo in the basement of my uncle. The only Information i could find, was in this Page under History. Sanyo Enacle? Dies anyone know if its worth anything?
      thank you for your help!

        My guess is that this bike dates from the nineties and has a probably now dead, low-output NICAD battery. If it still rides ok as a non-powered bicycle, especially with the battery removed, and it's cosmetically and mechanically in good shape, my stab-guess it's maybe worth 50-150DM. Perhaps there's a small target audience of Enacle lovers/owners that would pay a little more.

        Have you found the charger for it? If so, you might try putting the bike outdoors and see if it'll take a charge - even a weak one, just to see if the motor system still works.

        Dunno about in Germany, but here in the U.S. I think there's little interest in e-bikes this old, given their lack of both speed and range. Yes, there are some enterprising DIYers with the skills and resources to fit a range-improving replacement battery, but there are plenty of faster and more capable, broken project e-bikes available.

          Thank you very much for the quick reply!!
          yea it still works and has two accus with a charger. We wäre trying it out and the three power Bars were pretty fast at two.

            Good - so much the better, and raises the value at least a little. But I'd not think this bike has much if any collectable or vintage value.
