TECHNOLOGY

worlds rst electric bike computer come with data logging and live view via cell phone !

SMALLEST IN ITS OWN CLASS ...

A break through technology that display real live information through Bluetooth enabled cell-phone
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the speedict ebike, worlds first electric bike computer that transform a generic electric bike to a smart bike with governor1 feature make street legal possible and stream measured and calculated electrical parameters right to your cell and smart-phone2. By eliminating awkward wires and bulky display panel, ebike is the smallest and lightest in its class. When java within range3, when biker gps can instantly get the critical phone4 is

electrical parameters hassle free using their bluetooth enabled cell-phone, built-in android smart connected, location information is also be recorded.
1. 2. 3. 4. provides voltage, speed, temperature, current cut-off, current throttle and en15194 compliant ... support standard java midp 2.0 or below, and bluetooth access via btapi depended on cell-phone model (as tested with motorola slvr l7, the range is up to 80m) android smart phone with a-gps built-in

Functions

The ebike measures and records speed, current, voltage and temperature over

time, then use these measurements to calculate the maximum power (watt), battery consumption (mah). Real-time information as to live and peak current, live and used voltage, current and maximum power (watt), as well as existing and consumed capacity (mah) is transmitting using bluetooth technology. Biker can use their cell-phone to read these data in real-time for their pleasure or to fine-tune their power system.

function mode allows configurable function model through its on-board 4 i/o ports, in combining with governor features it can provide riders needs on both safety and system utilization. for instance, configure speedict ebike to measure pedal cadence rate, matching cadence rate for power delivery, redefine throttles highest and lowest point and even configure to compliant with en15194 standard. The ebike can save up to 12 hours of information. Bikers can download their logged data to their computer using a usb cable and manage the data and performance charts with the included pc software, or upload to the internet for store, review and share purpose. the ebike can be used in difference ways to enhance your electric-powered bike experience as follow : trip information recorder, charger and battery health monitor, road legal smart device, protect power system by current, voltage and temperature cut-off, system diagnostic and optimization equipment.

Benefits

The ebike provides critical information in a revolutionary way to give rider a

new way to fine-tune the performance of their electrical powered bike for things such as : maximize trip time, maximize trip distance, controller and motor efficiencies through knowledge of current flow through controller and motor, improve battery life by monitoring battery health, charger performance and current put through, and discharge from a battery, eliminate potential risk of damaging components with peak current, reduce voltage sags that cause components to operate out of specification, feedback as to why power is lost during different trip conditions, effects of modifications, aging, and damage on many electrical system components, safe guard power system by govern speed, current, voltage and temperature cut-off transforms generic speed controller with smart features like 1:1 pas, cruise, utilize throttle range, current throttle, turn your electric bike to compliant with local regulation e.g. en15194 for european countries.

Operation Instruction - Hardware Connection

The ebike is supplied without connectors. You can use whatever connector type best suits your equipment. Please make sure that the ebike is connected to the right polarity as it labeled on device, incorrect polarity connect can damage your device without warranty cover. the ebike can be can be configured with different mode via its on-board 4 x i/o port for different purposes5 : multi sense mode Default mode provide up to 2 temperature and 1 speed sensors mainly for monitoring purposes. Monitor and simulate ebrake signal, sending braking signal to speed controller whenever cut off is needed. Capture and measure pedal cadence rate, matching power delivery for better power utilization. Re-define throttles low and high point for linearize its range, override throttle signal for current and speed throttle. Converts PAS to throttle signal enable non-PAS speed controller with 1:1 PAS ratio capabilities. Regulation EN15194 compliance - with Start-Aid button for start up to 6KM/h and PAS power speed up to legal limit. Regulation EN15194 compliance - allow throttle (twist-grip) start up to legal limit (e.g. 25KM/h) with pas engaged otherwise
