Resetting Ebike Controller | Full Guide

The idea of an electric bike is based on a combination of a set of hardware parts and a software that manages these parts
Based on this idea, the existence of a problem in the software will lead to a malfunction or a group of malfunctions in the hardware parts.

To be more precise, there are two main parts, if a software problem is found in them, it can affect the performance of the electric bike in general.
These parts are the controller and the battery (BMS).
Each of these parts is managed by a different software, and accordingly, we will explain how REST works for each part (in two separate articles)

This post will be devoted to making a reset for the controller

How to reset Ebike Controller (Soft Reset)

In order to do a reset for the controller, there are two values that can be changed (depending on the type of your bike). The first value is C10, which is responsible for resetting the factory settings for the controller, so that the controller will re-identify all parts of the bike and apply the default settings to it

In the bicycle dimension, there are no settings for C and there are settings for P only. In this case, you will need to go to P 16 and then set the value to 0

Now let us explain the two methods

• 2-define the direction of the motor

This feature has a dedicated cable that has two plug connected to each other in the controller

to make hard reset follow the below step.

• Lift the bike off the ground completely (because the motor will work automatically during the reset)
• Take out the controller
• Select the self-learning cable (you will find a cable that is not connected to any other part of the bike and is only connected to each other as shown in the picture)
• Unplug the cable and you will notice that the motor rotates automatically
• Reconnect the cable and make sure that the motor rotates clockwise. If it is found that the motor rotates counterclockwise, disconnect the cable again and reinstall it.

After performing the previous steps, you will have completed the hard reset process for the ebike controller.
