The company has a group of cooperation teams engaged in the E-bike LCD Display industry for many years, with dedication, innovation spirit and service awareness, and has established a sound quality control and management system to ensure product quality.

The e-bike display plays a crucial role. While the motor and battery is the most decisive component on an e-bike, the e-bike display is another feature that highlights the advantages of the machine’s integrated technology. Most people are only familiar with the e-bike speedometer, but the e-bike display keeps track of all the important parameters that need attention when riding numerically. These include mileage, pedal assist, battery, USB charging, power meter – showing instantaneous power output and more. Without a doubt, the main advantage of e-bike displays is that they allow riders to monitor their performance and adjust accordingly. This is especially important for fitness cyclists. It allows them to perform goal-oriented workouts as opposed to doing it blindly. Riders can use the details on the visual display to push themselves to the limits of their endurance. An e-bike display is useless if the rider is not aware of its capabilities and the dynamic nature of the information it conveys. Therefore, it is critical that the user be familiar with the various display functions. 

Different type of ebike display meter

LED Display Meter

The LED display meter is an older type of meter, its main feature is only some LED lights on the meter, through the light to display the speed of the electric bike, battery power and other basic information, LED display can only display some basic information, lack of information such as mileage, motor power, motor temperature and so on. However, the biggest advantage of LED display is the low price, usually only a few dollars.

LCD Display Meter

LCD display meter is the most common e-bike display on the market and basically covers all the parameters that an e-bike needs to display. Including but not limited to travel speed, single travel mileage, total travel mileage, battery power, boost gear, motor temperature, light symbol, brake symbol, boost symbol, motor power, battery voltage and so on. It depends on the type of LCD display. Also, the position of the LCD gauges on the handlebars varies, and some of the gauges have buttons separate from the display for the rider to control. The LCD display is moderately priced and doesn’t take up much of the overall electrical system, so it’s not a huge burden.

Colorful Display Meter

Intelligent colorful display meter is the upgraded version of LCD display. Because it uses an intelligent LCD screen, it is richer and more beautiful in terms of information display, and can display animations, such as the speed display of the meter will be much more beautiful than the LCD display, but the information displayed is similar to the LCD display. Intelligent colorful display is the most expensive, but still within the normal range of affordability, generally need about $50.

Important function displays

As the common meter on the market for LCD meter, so the following specific parameter information are to LCD meter for example, intelligent colorful display can basically find the following parameters, some parameters LED display may don’t have.

Battery Capacity

The battery capacity is correctly placed at the top of the screen. This is because it plays a key role in determining the amount of power remaining when riding a bike. It allows riders to estimate the distance they will travel with the remaining battery power. As the line fades from left to right, it indicates a decrease in battery power. It is worth noting that the battery charge may fluctuate during the ride, so it is best to leave the e-bike for about half a minute to get an accurate reading of the remaining charge. It is important for riders to pay attention to the battery level when riding an e-bike. They should also know that power levels are best kept between 20% and 80%. It is recommended that you avoid having a battery level below 20% before charging. Extend battery life and avoid additional costs associated with battery replacement.

Odometer

The odometer shows the number of kilometers or miles traveled on your e-bike. It is an important tool for assessing the rider’s progress. There is a significant difference between riders who can use covered mileage and those who cannot. Riders who show odometer readings on the LCD display tend to achieve greater goals than their peers. The odometer on the e-bike LCD screen helps keep users motivated. It allows riders to visualize their goals and see on the screen what they have achieved. Cyclists can also use the Trip A and B features on the odometer to create faster routes. This feature also allows riders to separate exercise miles from leisure. There is also a built-in track record system that serves as a useful daily reminder.

Pedal Assist

Pedal Assist is a mode on the e-bike that makes it easier to get power from the rider’s pedals and move faster. When it is turned on and an assist level is selected, the motor will provide a certain level of power output to the pedals. As a result, it is possible to ride with a gentle push. E-bikes come with different levels of pedal assist. The general range is 0-5. To turn on the assist and change the output of the Twin Leaf e-bike motor, the user should press the “+” or “-” button. level 0 means no assist, level 1 means the lowest level of assist, and level 5 means Level 5 is the result of the highest assist output. Level 1 and 2 are best selected when you are pushing a little or want to extend the battery range. Level 3 is for speeds up hills or up to about 15 mph on flat surfaces. The higher levels provide maximum power output and cyclists can easily reach speeds of up to 20 mph. Typically, higher levels of pedal assist reduce battery range. The advantage of pedal assist is that it allows the rider to choose the level of movement they want and beat the traffic.

Speedometer

The LCD display is also equipped with a speedometer that measures and displays the current speed and average speed. Electric bike users can display real-time speed (km/hr.), average speed (km/hr.), maximum speed (km/hr.), one-way mileage (km), and total mileage (km) ) with a short press of the “i” button. Some e-bikes also have a walk mode, which generally allows the e-bike to maintain a speed of 6km/h. This function reduces the movement speed of the e-bike to walking speed, which helps the rider to push the e-bike forward and allows the rider to travel in suitable terrain.

USB Charging

Some LCD displays will come with a USB system that allows users to charge their gadgets. In this age of technology, it is obvious that cyclists carry around electronics such as cell phones, cameras and music players to make cycling more fun. As a result, they need power. USB charging ports allow riders to charge their electronics in an emergency, and since type-C charging ports are now being used more and more, some e-bike displays have started to use type-C charging ports instead of USB charging ports.

More function displays

  • Single ride time display: shows the time the single meter was on
  • Ambient temperature display: shows the temperature of the riding environment, usually obtained by the built-in temperature sensor
  • Motor running temperature display: displays the temperature of the motor when it is running, usually obtained by the motor’s built-in temperature sensor
  • Cruise function display: fixed speed riding, no rider pedal
  • Battery real-time voltage display: display the current battery voltage, you can judge the remaining battery power

Conclusion

As there are many parameters of LCD display and many options available for operation, the above are just some of the more common ones. Since the specific parameters vary from meter to meter, riders would do well to read the meter’s manual carefully when getting your e-bike, and you may find that your meter can do much more than you think.
