๐ด Riding Your Ebike Without Motor Power
Yes, you can absolutely ride your Bafang ebike like a regular bicycle with no motor power โ handy if your battery runs out or you just feel like pedaling. Two ways to go powerless:
- Turn the whole kit off, or
- Set your PAS level to 0 on the display.
Be aware it takes noticeably more effort than a normal bike for two reasons: the kit adds weight (roughly 13โ16 lbs), and with a mid-drive you feel a bit of internal resistance from turning the motor's rotor inside the stator as you pedal. It is completely doable โ plenty of riders get home this way โ just plan for a workout if you have a long distance to cover unpowered.
