Legal Mode & Offroad Function

Legal Mode & Offroad Function

What is Legal Mode? Legal mode activates the speed limiter (e.g., 25 km/h) and restricts walk assist to walking speed, so the bike is road-legal. How to Enable Legal Mode In Bafang Canable Tool, go to the General tab and set Coaster Brake Support = 1. Temporarily Disabling the Speed Limit (Offroad) When Legal Mode is on, you can temporarily remove the speed limit with a button sequence on your display. Procedure (for HMI 245 display):

1. From any assist level other than Eco, press: Eco → Off → Eco
2. Each press must be done within about 0.25-1 second of the previous one If done correctly, the display will briefly show:

• 9 km/h -> Offroad is on (no speed limit)
• 8 km/h -> Offroad is off (speed limit back on) After ~1 second, the normal speed display returns. How It Works (Simple Explanation) The sequence acts like a key code. When you enter Eco → Off → Eco, the controller compares it to a preset code (default: 202). If it matches, the speed limit toggles on or off. Behavior Summary Legal Mode setting | Sequence entered | Result Off | - | No speed limit at all On | Not entered | Speed limit active (legal) On | Eco -> Off -> Eco | Speed limit temporarily removed until next restart What Happens After Power Off The speed limit comes back after turning the bike off and on again. To remove it again, just enter Eco → Off → Eco once more. Note for Other Display Models This sequence was tested with the HMI 245 display. Other Bafang displays may send different signals - if it doesn't work on yours, check which button corresponds to "Eco" on your display.
