Controllers
Controller Question: I assume in modern e bikes with a LCD display or PAS switch, that is the brains, or controller for the system. Can these be swapped? For instance, will a LCD display work on a system that came with a simple PAS switch? Can the number of PAS settings be changed by swapping controllers? Can throttles be added this way? How about motor cut off with proper brake actuators?
I find bikes I like, but they are missing a function or two that I want. So can they be upgraded?
Ideally, I would like an e bike with 300 watt or larger motor, at least 5 PAS levels and a thumb throttle. Also disc brakes with motor shutoff and a controller / LCD which displays odometer, speed, battery level, and PAS level. Either rear or mid drive. Multiple speeds. Either 20" foldable or 26" cruiser. I would like to stay in the entry level, under $1,000 price point.
Models I have looked at include Nakto Cruise and Nakto Camel and a Green Bike USA GB3P
