Electric bike displays not only provide readings of all the vital cycling metrics but can also determine how well your electric bike is functioning. And sure, while E-Movement’s displays, like other bike brands’, are integrated with various features, many customers point out that not all of them work even though they appear on the screen. Let's talk about why your eBike doesn’t show all the display features.
Why Is It Important to Have a Display?
An electric bike display delivers key information about the bike's operation and performance, allowing riders to access real-time data such as battery status, speed, distance travelled, and the current riding mode.
The display offers several advantages that enhance both performance monitoring and journey management:
- Battery Charge Monitoring: Displays keep you informed about the battery's charge level, helping avoid unexpected power shortages during long adventures.
- Distance Tracking: It provides essential information for route planning by showcasing the distance travelled and estimating the remaining kilometres on your trip.
- Real-Time Speed: With real-time speed data, riders can adjust their pace based on road conditions and personal preference for a smoother cycling experience.
- Speed Limit Adherence: The integrated speedometer helps maintain safe speeds and adherence to legal limits, promoting safer and more responsible e-biking practices.
The Types of Displays
When it comes to e-bicycle displays, you'll find two main types on the market: compact and large colour displays. Compact displays are smaller and lighter, as they show only essential data. This option is great for saving space on the handlebars and reducing the bike’s overall weight. In contrast, large colour displays offer detailed, clear visuals of various bike metrics to enhance functionality and control.
The choice between these depends largely on your biking style and needs. For instance, avid mountain bikers who tackle rugged terrain might prefer a compact display’s streamlined nature, while those who frequently go on longer, leisure rides can benefit from the comprehensive features of larger displays.
Being knowledgeable about your electric bike’s display features enables you to make adjustments as necessary. Our displays deliver clear information but don’t occupy too much handlebar space. They provide a range of data to the rider, including maximum and average speed, battery level, current, total distance (odometer), pedal-assist level, trip distance, and a real-time wattage metre that shows how much power the motor is outputting. Additionally, an E-Movement display is water-resistant in various weather conditions and alerts riders with error codes to aid in troubleshooting.
Why Your Electric Bike Will Not Have All Features That the Display May Show
Since we, like many other ebike brands, integrate generic displays into all our e-bikes to ensure they are more affordable, they are not specific to each model in our collection. Consequently, it is possible that some features written on the screen will not work for your chosen bike. Generic displays include multiple features but not all of them are compatible with your bike’s controller; this is why you may not be able to receive certain information regarding your rides and cycling progress.
Endnote
Your electric bike’s display can only be as useful as your understanding of it. Now that you are aware of why some features might not work, we recommend focusing on the ones that do. This way, you can monitor how effectively you ride and make the most out of your journeys!
