Resetting Electric Bike Odometers: A Step-By-Step Guide

Resetting the odometer on an electric bike is a simple process. Depending on the make and model of your bike, you can reset the odometer by holding the power and minus buttons together for two seconds, or by pressing the reset button on the left-hand steering wheel lever. You can also reset the odometer by pressing the 'On' and 'Down' buttons simultaneously.

Resetting the trip odometer

Firstly, locate the reset button. This is usually on the left-hand steering wheel lever. Once you've found it, press and hold the button for a few seconds. This will reset all the information in the trip odometer, including mileage, average fuel consumption, average speed and driving time. If you only want to reset the distance driven, simply tap the reset button instead of holding it down.

On some bikes, you may need to hold down a combination of buttons to reset the odometer. For example, on some models, you hold the power and minus buttons together for two seconds to reset the trip odo. You can also try holding the plus and plus buttons to access the setup menu, and then pressing the power button eight times with the plus and minus buttons to access the advanced setup.

If your bike has a Bafang 961 display, you can reset the trip odometer by pressing the "On" and "Down" buttons at the same time. This will zero the mileage on the main display.

Resetting the main odometer

If you only want to reset the distance driven, simply tap the reset button once. Alternatively, you can hold the power and minus buttons together for two seconds to reset the trip odo. Holding the plus and plus buttons will bring up the setup menu, and pressing the power button eight times with the plus and minus buttons will bring up the advanced setup.

It is worth noting that some electric bikes may not have a reset button, in which case you may need to consult the manufacturer or a specialist for advice on how to reset the odometer. Additionally, some bikes may automatically reset the odometer when the battery gets low and is plugged into a computer to charge.
