Well I don’t have an old phone so Would have to buy one, and the display was $90, probably cannot buy a phone cheaper than that-Plus I would have to buy some kind of mounting kit to put it on there
Android phones are dirt cheap, like $30 new for prepaid name brand on sale. That said, for ebike display probably makes more sense to pick up a waterproof phone like this:
I ordered the 9 level pas dcp18 from eunorau and it should be here this coming week
if I am not happy with this set up might try an android phone... I like big displays on the bikes
just happy I found the 9 level from the recommendations here
eunorau was very quick answer emails and confirm they will send the 9 level and NOT the eco/sport
they seem to have a huge stock of bafang parts for motors/kits etc
I'm surprised no one has posted this yet. I see the question asked so often. The difference between the 5 ECO & 5 Sport Modes of the Bafang Ultra Drive DPC-18 is...... ECO only uses 1000 watts and SPORT uses the full 1500 watts of the Ultra motor. A programmed 10% assist in ECO mode would be 100 watts, while the 10% assist in SPORT mode would be 150 watts. Please pass it on. I've put 1500 miles on my Biktrix Ultra and my next purchase is the EGGrider v2. The 9 levels of assist will be far more useful.
