My display is set to MPH but the speed is not accurate. Can’t find a way to change the wheel size on the display. Is it possible to change the wheel size on the display and if so how is it done?

Went out for a third ride today and noticed that the green plug into the back of the display is indeed not long enough. When I turn the handles bars left the cord becomes tight and will pull slightly out the the display. I will try and attach photos.
A couple times on my ride today I had a hard turn left and the cord became loose and power would shut off.
Is there a way to lengthen the cord? Or is it a standard cord that I can buy an extension to?
Thanks!!Comment

After some searching around online and not finding anything, the green 5 pin cord looks to be on-standard. I see most of Bafang's other displays use a green 5 pin but are circular, which the one on the X1 is not. I hope there is a way to lengthen it, or to find an an extension that I can plug into make the reach longer.

The wheel size says 27.5. Using my GPS the speed is over by around 1 mph. My plug on the back of the display came out once again on a ride. Need to install a small length of a hopper cable if possible or available. Very annoying to be climbing a steep hill and loose power.Comment

That's interesting, my display says 28" wheel. my bike has a short cable extension for the display.Originally posted by Musky View PostComment

Got my X-1 out on some trails yesterday and it was a blast! Some up (mostly fire road with assist at 2 or 3) and some short trails climbs. Lots of level but rocky terrain, and of course downhill. The bike handled amazingly well. There were several issues, most of which have been brought up by others.
1) can't read the display with polarized sunglasses. Not a huge deal, but annoying.
2) the dropper slowly sagged. Need to apply the fix worked out earlier.
3) assist 1, and to a lesser extent 2, were a bit uneven. 3 was smooth, but sometimes more than I wanted (I have the Ludi version). It'd be great to be able to adjust parameters. Maybe when an update is available Luna could "loan" us the programmers with new firmware and have us pay for shipping both ways.
4) I could definitely hear the cables rattling around in the frame when I was going over bumpy sections. I thought I saw a post about this, but can't find it now.
Overall I'm amazed at how well she rode. Uphill, downhill, cornering, the geometry was comfortable, the tires had great grip, the suspension made things smooth and comfortable,and the power let me ride more than my legs otherwise would have.
Yesterday was upper 60's and sunny. Today is forecast for 32 with a few inches of snow, but I may take her out later to see how the tires work on the white stuff.Comment

I totally agree with items 1-3. The assist levels 1 and 2 are too jerky. I think they would be smoother if the torque assist started at a lower pressure and perhaps a lower cadence. I wish we could tune these motors for a smoother power flow. I also have the ludicrous controller. I feel the programming is still in beta and hoping it gets worked out soon.

Very sad temporary solution for a new $4k bike!Comment

Not sold yet....maybe I should go 2000w Scout? Im looking for something that can be rode hardComment

Yeah, not good. I would contact Luna and see if they will comp you an extension cable like they have on the large frame.Originally posted by Musky View PostComment

Regarding any battery rattling on really vigorous downhill I would like to propose lining the sides of the battery with a high density foam tape such as this one.
This has not been tried yet but theoretically it should work. If one of you tries it, please let the rest of us know what size worked best for you.

After my display mount cracked at the clamp, I made an (almost invisible) bracket to move the whole display unit about 2" rearward, so creating more slack in the cables.. the bracket is secured under the steerer stem adjuster spacer. My frame is a Medium but I fitted a 30mm longer stem which made this condition worse. I can say there is no spare cable that could be pulled through the frame (I looked & traced it the whole way from the controller) My suggestion is that its at least 2" to 3" too short. I also zip-tied the 2 connectors together sight at the plugs. I'm not having any plugs loosening since!Comment

Did the adjustment to the seat post dropper as described in the video. Even with slack in the cable the seat post still drops slowly under pressure. Am I missing something or is there a defect in the seat post?Comment

Sometimes the loose end of the cable can rub the inside of the seat tube bore right where it attaches to the little mechanism on the bottom of the post (inside the seat tube. I had to go inside & make the connection a bit tidier now it's flawless.Comment

Guys I have a question is the assist really limited to 25mph? Even with the Ludi option?Comment
-
Per my discussion with Bradleyland a few pages back, pedal assist cuts out at 25mph, even on ludi version. There are a few options though:
1. Use the throttle. It appears the throttle is not limited in speed, and given proper gearing, will carry you well over 25mph.
2. Use “Boost Mode”. Bradley posted a manual to the display that goes into how to use boost mode. Essentially you hold down a button and it ignores the limit.
3. Pedal harder. I’ve noticed, although no one has backed me up here yet, that if a substantial step up in power is applied, the motor kicks back in. I’ve gotten up to 30mph on the stock gears using this technique. I wouldn’t call it a sustainable option for a casual ride though.
Hope this helps! -
No, the pedal assist is not limited to 25mph. I've gotten mine up to 30mph with assist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amzIyAd5pn8
