Using the BBSHD Ludicrous V2
The controller works out of the box, its plug and play with no tuning needed.
It is designed to work in the same way as the stock controller: throttle accelerates, it has pedal
assist, you can choose your power level and the display shows the same variables.
Because it's the same principle with a lot more power, here are few suggestions:
● Check the maximum current you can draw from your battery.
If for example your battery can only provide 80A, set the corresponding battery current limit
with Android App (see below)
● If your display is set at the maximum power level, be careful the first time you use it. In a low
gear it can kick you off the bike.
● Be mindful about the amount of power dumped into your motor. If you drive high currents for
too long the winding temperature rise will engage the motor over temperature protection.
Motor temp is easy to see in the app gauges and in the logs.
Changing controller parameters has been disabled in our firmware builds, for safety you won’t be
able to increase any motor related setting like max currents, temps, control loop parameters, etc.
The complete set of motor parameters is hardcoded at build time so it works out of the box and
stays that way. We do acknowledge that a motivated user could build the open source firmware, but
it’s not recommended as it’s easy to damage a mis-tuned controller.
