Bafang 500C Display - The best EMTB styled display?

- So I've put away my regular bikes and emtb's and whipped out the Bafang fleet.
over the next couple of months, I'll be diving back into the Bafang system and covering number topics which many of you have asked me.
in addition, I'll be arranging a live build of a emtb's which use the Bafang Ultra, Bafang M500 & M600 to show what is required in terms of tools, knowhow and resources to ensure that you keep the motors running.
in anticipation of these builds, we take a look at a emtb display by Bafang. The 500c display is truly unique and stands out from the typical center mounted lcd displays or led left mounted displays.

This isn't a review, more like an initial view and observations in terms of the form factor, accessibility, and functionality.
Only time will tell whether it'll stand up to the testaments of off road use but its better than the original DP-C181 display.
Anywho, keep it watchful eye for upcoming content and until then 'take it easy'.

I use this display on my BBS02. It is a good display and I agree with you about the display not taking up as much room compared to a center-mounted display.
Yeah, I know these displays are more used on the BBS models but they work well with the M-series of Bafang motors.
Definitely digging the cleaner cockpit space and I'll be looking to get another one for a new emtb I'm building.
Thanks for the comment 👍🏿
The display is so small that when I got my Bafang kit I thought it was missing because all that was left in the box was a tiny white box and I thought " there is no way thats the display. It was the display and yes, it takes you by surprise how small it is. Yet, it is absolutely perfect in size and everything is very clear. It has turned out to be an excellent display. I fit mine on the right side of my bars.
Hmmm, I've never tried running the 500c display on the right. I may give that a go just to experiment.
Thanks for your comment👍🏿
I had a bad crash ruin a 500 c so, but I liked it enough to buy another. It's been a great display for both me and my wife.
Thanks for sharing your experiences👍🏿
Good news,Biktrik has developed in-house a new rear hub to handle the 160 nutin meters of torque,probably won't break for the heavy riders,waiting to see what the price is going to be! Hopefully not a arm and leg to purchase. Love the new display,got new tires installed and have a new KMS chain on order.winter is here in Saskatchewan so another six months of ebiking in -30 Celsius,loving every second of life.
Nice one Dennis. I'll look into the new rear hub Biktrix have announced. Could be useful to feature as the conversation of ebikes and derailleurs are starting to flare up.
Thanks for the comment and appreciate the info 👍🏿
My first build on a Trek 4500 used BBS02 with the C500 with the 48v 10ahm battery. Thank you, I didn't know how to change the display from metric to imperial.
Sincere apologies for the delay.
Reading your comment did take me back to the days I messed around with the BBS02.
Thanks for your comment and thanks for sharing 👍🏿
Хороший дисплей! Я тоже через месяц после покупки bbs hd поменял на такой же. Полтора года - 10000 km. И зимой и летом и в снег и в дождь!
Рад слышать Надеюсь, выставка продлится столько же, сколько и ваша, в любое время года. цените комментарий 👍🏿

ооо, хорошо, я вижу. Это довольно умно. Судя по показаниям напряжения, похоже, что вы используете батарею на 52 вольта. Является ли показание напряжения точным при использовании батареи на 52 вольта? Хороший спуск emtb 👊🏿
@@neekodevinchi да, батарея на 52 v. Полная зарядка 58,8 . Контроллер настроен также на 52 с завода. Мощность 1,5 kw
Отлично 👊🏿
Эта информация пригодится в следующем проекте. Оцените комментарий и ваше видео 👍🏿
Good show. How did you connect the Magura brakes to the motor? Do you happen to know which adapter allows one to connect a Bafang mid to Magura brakes?
Sincere apologies for the delay.
The Magura brakes use the dedicated Bafang connectors which plug into the wire harness.
Technically, you can buy the levers and retrofit them to existing Magura brakes without the need of buying the complete brake set.
Look for the Magura E-Stop brake levers with yellow circular connectors. Those are the ones which work with Bafang👍🏿
I do like the all-in-one aspect, & the good bar-clamp clearance, of the 500C display.
The DPC18 has the speed shown much larger, & the PAS mode fairly good size.
If the 500C used its display space differently, I could read the speed & PAS without stopping to check! ;D
It is a fair point that the readouts on the display are small compared to other Bafang displays.
Thanks for your comment 👍🏿
Mate great review so informative where did you buy the bike from I’ve been checking on line
The 500C display was purchased through ebay.uk by a distributor (brand new).
They have slightly gone up in price however, the seller still sells the display (amongst other displays).
Thanks for your comment 👍🏿
Thanks for the quick reply
On the top right of the display, what does the 'W' stand for? Looks like a well nice ebike display with a lot of information :)
Lol. apologies, I should have covered that in the video. The 'W' stands for Watts. I.e. how much watts the motor is kicking out depending on the level of assist and effort the motor is utilizing depending on the terrain, incline and subsequent variables.
Hope this helps and thanks for your comment 👍🏿
I know it's old now but nice video I've just ordered this. BTW what tyres are they they look sweet?
Thanks for your comment.
The tyres on the Blade are the Schwalbe Eddy Currents (27.5x2.6 rear and 27.5x2.8 front)👍🏿
👍
Have you heard about the EggRider V2 display? It my worth looking into if you want a display which is sleek and discrete. Nice videos on your channel.
Lol. Its funny you should say that. Be sure to keep a watchful eye on my channel for upcoming content.
Thanks for your comment 👍🏿
Hello sir, for this display how to chance from ECO to SPORT mode ? I am using M620 and planning to change to this model since look smaller and cool
Hi there,
This display doesn't have the ability to change from Eco - sport mode. However, you can choose how many levels of assist ranging between 1-3, 1-5 & 1-9.
Hopefully this answers your question but feel free to ask any further questions, should you have any concerns.
Thanks for your comment 👍🏿
@@neekodevinchi thanks for fast reply. Now i am using DPC18 display. Very big for me, looks like phone. Plan to change to this model. And buy from ali express. Since i use my emtb i haven't use sport mode. Level 5 eco mode is enough for me
@@neekodevinchi what type of connector should i choose? I saw in aliexpress they sell 5 pin female connector
@@neekodevinchi Hi dude. I already using LCD 500 C Display. Just sharing my thought the level assist 1 using 500 C feel similar to Level assist 1 in Sport mode using DPC 18. I feel more force in level 1 compare existing DPC 18. Do you feel the same ?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences.
In answer to your question, it depends on how your M620 motor is programmed and how many levels of assist the 500C display is setup.
Depending on your basic settings perimeters of the M620 motor, level 1 could give you the equivalent power of level 1 sport mode when using the DCP18 display.
If you have the Bafang programming cable, you can amend the parameter fairly easily 👍🏿
I put some tiger seal round the edges of the display just makes it waterproof
Cheers for that. I'll look into that. Could be worthwhile.
Appreciate the comment 👍🏿
Yeah these are not waterproof indeed, I always put a plastic bag on it when it rains
Thanks for that dude 👍🏿.
I'll bare that in mind.
So far, no issues with the display being used on different ebikes. But I know where you're coming from as I've broken two DCP18 displays due to water ingress.
@@neekodevinchi czcams.com/video/SHxvxekXsAY/video.html this is the bike I have the 500c display on 😁 The motor is a bbshd, the bike a kona dawg delux full suspension
How do you reset the trip ?
In the menu tab, select 'more'. Enter the password '1919'. Further options will appear, including trip reset.
Hope this helps and thanks for your comment 👍🏿
On my 500C it was much easier: just press the "+" and the "-" buttons at the same time to reset the trip-distance.
It is possible that you have a newer version of the 500c display. Thanks for sharing. I appreciate your comment 👍🏿
Is it possible to change the word "intelligent" to something else?
Good question. I've seen some displays where the readouts vary depending on which vendor you buy from. Having said that, I'm not sure if applies to static text like 'intelligent'. I'll make enquiries and let you know what I find👍🏿
@@neekodevinchi Thanks. It is probably in the service menu or secret menu.
