How to TUNE your Ebike // Fardriver+ANT BMS Configuration

[@krebikes]

So much to learn in 11mins 🙌🏾

[@Just_Wimski1130]

Hello. O my god happy i am not alone to have 2 sabvaton burnd out the transistors. First tim i send it back and they fixed it. But now it happend again. And i was starting to look around for a fardrive esc. This is how i found your video. Sorry if my English is not perfect, i 'am dutch😂 Nucular is nice but so expensive! Greeting from Wim

[@JZEV1]

Glad you found the video relatable! This seems to be a common issue with the sabvoton controllers. It was very frustrating for me and they would not fix mine. Definitely recommend fardriver!

[@rcppop3090]

I’m loving these videos and learning a new tech. I’m a hands on guy and use to be an ASE technician. All ICE engines but being in California… it’s time for this old dog to learn new tricks! Haha thank you again brother!

[@Noeffortvideos]

thank you very helpful, i'm actually looking to install this controller on a niu ngt scooter, i saw that it can increase top speed from 80kph to 110kph, i really like the idea of having more regen braking

[@SurfStrands]

0:47 do you set the bms settings in the fardriver app? My amorge battery has bms ant Bluetooth built in. Not sure how to use it.

[@BipoCosmo]

Super setup advice! One thing: No dead zone and 224 degrees of throttle step are an accidental ghost bike into a wall moment waiting to happen. Leave some head room in the low and halve the step until it’s too granular (progressive) for you. I stay under 30 steps for walking mode at quarter throttle. Great work keep it up!

[@JZEV1]

Thanks, appreciate that note! Looped the bike coming down from a wheelie the other day and I think having some deadzone might have saved me😂.

Honest, Informative and straight to the point. Nicely Done! Keep up the good work.

[@elias8981]

Running 200/530A on a qs205 50H motor is insane. You never had overheating issues ? Have you ever done some enduro/hill climbs with it at some point ?

[@Jujubees225]

I got the 72530 far driver controller and I have not gotten it to work. I am having a 9 beeps phase current overflow alarm and it will not go into self learning mode. Do you have any idea to get the motor spinning?

[@lhk8558]

I went from sabvoton to Fardriver and now on a Nucular 24f. Would never go back to Fardriver or sabvoton again. The Nucular has so many features and just works perfectly along with readable manuals that you can actually understand. You pay more but worth every penny.

[@JZEV1]

Yeah not having understandable explanations of parameters is a big minus. I’d try nucular If it wasn’t so expensive. Going to try a VESC next though technology seems promising

[@williammadisondavis]

I got a VESC. Makerx g300. Cost about $350 has Bluetooth, no need for display besides for the app on my phone, and does 500a. Running it at 13kw on an 72v molicel battery and it’s yet to get warm.

[@dkremeni633]

thanks man, you explained it the best! one note, for regen breaking the more MaxCurrent Amps you put the more it will break, and the percentage is in regard of StopBackCurr and MaxBackCurr. shame you don't have screen, cant find anywhere explanation on how to set up different screens...again big thanks for explaining everything!

[@Kennethdo1]

How does your controller that your braking in order to regen? Can you just put EABSWhenReleasethrottle

[@mikemazzoli1990]

Dude! your videos rock! i cant believe you only have 104 subscribers! you just gained another one! keep up the great work and you will pass 1,000 quickly

[@JZEV1]

Thanks! Genuinely appreciate the support. More videos on the way!

[@raulsalgado4549]

Hello. I have a scooter with a 72v50ah CATL battery, with a Votol m50 and a 1000w Rayan motor. I would like to know how the BMS would be configured from the app. I have an ANT BMS 8s - 22s 80A continuos peak 200A installed

[@mogaled]

Hey where did you buy or have your battery built? I am trying to build a bike with a fardriver nd72530 but all the battery makers have a max bms of 100a that i have seen. Let me know how to get a higher bms battery.

[@kanogomez5063]

Nice video..,💪🏽 i got the 5000w Bomber with a sabvoton 150...my bike does 45mph and 53mph with my son...im like 200lbs though...im going to order a Fardriver ND72450 righ now....i want go faster..😂😂

[@JulianShuttleworth-k8g]

Hi bro do u no any good tunes for the fardrive nd72530 350/530 phase

[@ANTBMSFACTORY]

Hello, we are ANT bms, shall we get connection?

[@kamronilyosov9752]

how can j make it so that it only charges to like 90 percent instead of 100. i heard charging to 100 makes the battery last less

[@JZEV1]

You can probably set high cell volt limit in BMS. In my case, the charger I use has a selector to choose between 80-100% charge.

[@BrodoFPV]

Yo! Does that 240 in the background run? That thing looks SICK!!!!!

[@peadardunworth7092]

You do good work, ant bms 101 would be awesome,

[@anthonymoy4471]

The ant bms do you prefer it over any other bms?

[@ERICM429]

How do i get my BMS settings, I just ordered the same controller

[@THEPAINOFITALL]

Thank you, best vid I have found, keep up the GREAT work😃

[@JZEV1]

Thanks! Glad you found it useful

[@alexchavosaurus9041]

underrated video. Where did you purchase your FarDriver controller? I am still using a Sabvoton on my 5000W build and been looking at the FarDriver.

[@JZEV1]

Definitely worth the switch. I was actually able to find one locally on Facebook marketplace, but aliexpress should have legit ones.

[@alexchavosaurus9041]

@@JZEV1 I Think I found one. I guess I would just buy the 530 Phase Amp model.. I am unsure..

[@JZEV1]

@@alexchavosaurus9041 what’s the continuous discharge amperage of your battery?

[@alexchavosaurus9041]

@@JZEV1 Continuous current is 100A I believe.

[@JZEV1]

You would probably be fine to use the 72360 for that. Its a good bit cheaper and does up to 170A DC

do i need to configure my ant bms or does it just tune it

Where did you go dude?

[@neonblack6010]

Instructions unclear, my E-Bike now stutututu.

[@slugzkea]

Hey, your wheel size is 26 fat? Same as my enduro. What tires are those? And are your spokes 12g? If they are 12g, how safe and stable is it going at higher speeds? As in over 38mph?

[@JZEV1]

The rim is stated as a 19 but I think with tire it’s closer to 25-26 OD something like that . I don’t think it’s a fat tire, they call it “turtle” street tire. It performs pretty well at all speeds, my only issue is they aren’t perfectly balanced, so past about 50mph the vibration/imbalance becomes noticeable. Need to balance the front wheel and also motorwheel at some point.

[@slugzkea]

@@JZEV1a simple wheel true will fix that. i hit 80km/h on my new one recently. it's 26 inch 4.0 fat tires, 12g spokes. i did true them before i headed out though, didn't notice any shaking...just worried of a catastrophic failure at high speeds since i am heavy (240lbs) but I've searched everywhere and haven't heard of 12g spokes failing on enduros...anywhere.

[@anthonymoy4471]

Just check them regularly like any bike ​@@slugzkea

Where do you get the fardriver app?

[@katiekumcgil]

throttle voltages as a standard are 4.1-4.2volts

[@jefersonmiranda8931]

soy nuevo en el mundo de las motos electricas, quisiera saber como subir el amperaje a mimm bms para que le de mas potencia a mi motor

[@AdamOpheim]

Don't think you have your ratios in speed definition/usage correct. From what I was told this tells the ecu when to turn on the weak and what percentage of weak to use. With it set at 100% its telling the ecu to use 100% battery power and no weak. Does your ECU show you going into weak mode ever with those settings? If you put them all to say 80% it would use 80% of the battery and 20% weak etc... At least thats how it was explained to me.

[@JZEV1]

Yeah your correct, I did get that part a little wrong. My setup still works great with the described setup, but it isn’t taking advantage of field weakening at all. Will do another video diving into field weaking once I test enough to have it figured out

[@Buffetology]

The KO controller is s cheap clone of the Fardriver. They cloned the cheapest model so it so it’s nothing great. BAC 4000 or 8000 is next level … preferred controller for stunters and racers.

[@player1unknown9]

Sadly my regen still not working.

I can't stand the far driver software . I like to go to play store and download load all my software . Don't like to sideload shit from web page or some thirty would site..like far driver ...I will not use controller where it is unable to download load from their website fukem

[@JZEV1]

Agreed man, it’s aggravating and hard to use and understand. Even the official documentation on their website hardly makes sense. I’m going to be using a VESC and VESC TOOL for my next build. Far more customizable and software is legitimate.

[@user619tlsdca5]

Dont do it Man!!! Dont mess with specs man!! You will face a fire unlike any other you have seen! Yeah it works after doing these DIY Hacker tricks but time leads to specs being off from the safety range of power being induced to all 3 components of motor, battery and controller. Yeah its fine after 2 days but man, your shit will explode if not rapid fire. These DIY videos done to impress but its a lure of a fire yet to come. Why do you think e bike makers have different and various spec ranges of their set ups? Im sure some guys know their stuff but only until they find out later of the mistakes and will not do a follow up from being possibly sued or worst Agents at your door of serious mis information laws...

[@MrDeceptacon88]

What does weakresponse do?

[@JZEV1]

I believe it controls how much weakening is used (spinning motor faster) and that lower values = more magnetic weakening and more Rpm. I think 0 is the most but I’m not positive.
