Thank you from the bottom of my heart, you are a legend for educational purposes only, greetings from Croatia...
Maybe it's useful to say that when you fold the bike, you have to do the trick again to unlock the throttle after unfolding it again. Takes only a few seconds, after getting use to the 4 steps, as Robert mencioned:
Throttle(1)/front brake(2)/back brake(3)/switch on the panel and wait 20 sec.(4). Then switch all off, before start to use it.
Thanks for the great tips and for being so precise on your explanations, this can be complicated for some of us!
Nothing works now
Another great review. You've gone into real depth here. And explained it brilliantly. I'm ordering this bike today. Brilliant. Thanks very much.
u change my life…
i didn’t even know that i can use the throtle before i watched the video …plus other helpful tricks
Thanks
What a great helpful video I had that problem with my himo z16 with a S866 display controller I left my himo z16 locked up outside the hospital and some lovely person played with the setting and I couldn't go anywhere. Thanks Scott
Missed recording the default settings before embarking on the programming then you mentioned it at the end! No worries I contacted ADO Customer Support and they sent me a list of them!
Being able to make "changes" is not always a "hack" it is also about safety for a youngster on their first e-bike. Throttle control from start can help with stability so safer when starting off.
Robert really seems like a cool guy
Thanks alot for solving my issues of this electric bicycle!
This works pretty much on any controller that looks like this at the beginning I thought it would not work for mine but I tried it and works perfectly with my ebike as well. Great info
There’s only 16 bloody settings on my one of these! So I was a bit confused but you were a great help buddy 👍🏻👍🏻
Good video, very helpful and well presented.....thanks.
Thank you sooo much for mentioning that last thing with the factory setting. I bought a brand new e scooter that used the s866 system and the scooter stoped working after 15 mins of use when i first got it. Then it never worked after that. The scooter would not acellerede. So the day before i was about the send the scooter back to the company i found this video. So i found the factory settings for the scooter and it finally worked after spending days trying to get this to ride agian 🙏🙏❤️
What are the factory settings
Great. A very good educational video. Alfons
I messed it up and changed it all back and working with the use of this Video
What a wonderful explaining you did, took notes. Went down to my bike, and it's all set up now! Thanks for taking the time to educate us. You are appreciated! Have a good day!
Thanks a million my friend it was very helpful and I did the exact same thing by moving one number 😀😀👍🏻
Thank you i was able to unlock mine. Very helpful

Hey can und help me i have the New Ado who i cannot die the Speed Limit faster. That is seit but Thats not my problem. My problem is i was going in the system and make a mistake i switcht anythibg and New my bike only rides in the mode 1 and 2 the third Mode Notting Works maybe und habe an idea whats the wrigth setting ?
Great video.. Can you set max speed for pedal assist for example assist 1.
Thank you sir! That was great! 😁
Thank you so much for the video! I got this bike today and I absolutely love it! Your video was super useful!
Hi Did you get the EU version
@@martywhite7026 no International version, but it came locked and 250W motor.
Thanks I'm just confused about the website don't know what version to buy, looks like there both the same but only one is locked, confused about is it 250w or 350w then I hear 500w motor, anyway the bike looks good an I hope yr enjoying yours 😁
Great vid! 👏
Great video, thank you 👍
Thank you that just worked I love you
Thxs fot this explanation! By the way cruise control works perfect. (Thought you mentioned that it haddend any.)
Thankyou men you helped me big time
Absolutely brilliantly explained, as always. Was just wondering if you would be able to expand on P18, 19 & 20 please? Other videos stated that P20 wasn't used, but mine has three settings 0, 1 & 2. Not knowing what ANY of them were for, I fiddled with each one in turn, and then regretted it, as my bike wouldn't work for hours - until I found a factory reset video. I got error codes E 08 & E 030 at different settings of P20. Don't know which setting got them to appear, or what I did to clear them, but they're gone now. Would be good to know what these three settings are for though. My bike is a Heybike Mars (I think - it looks identical to your A20), with an S866 controller. Cheers and thanks for another great video.
Not sure if i've misundersood but i was under the assumption when i purchased the A20F, that it was both pedal assist and throttle as the same time i.e. 1 to 4 pedal assist, 5 throttle?
Thank you for the settings tricks. Is this core setting available in all the models?
Excellent, thank you
Thank you sir, you are verry kind!
Top information 👌 mate
Brilliant vlog
Thanks verry helpfull you the best
Great vid
I think I'd be more interested in electric propulsion if sodium ion batteries were used instead of lithium. There is so much sodium around and obtaining sodium is not ecologically destructive as is mining for lithium. Sodium can also be easily neutralised once the cycle life of the battery is over thus making them very easy to dispose of without the toxic hazards associated with lithium products.
Thanks for sharing.
I have an LCDH8 looks like the same settings, you should also be able to see average speed and maximum speed.
Wait thirty seconds after turning on then press the power button.
THX for great info :) Can you set the gears spped? (to lower the first gear speed)
Funktion Perfect👍
Now this bike comes without a throttle (pre installed). With the international version, you get sent a rubbish thumb throttle (not a turner throttle like the ones you see on UA-cam).
I was going to order this bike (ADO A20+), but not any more. I'm livid.
Aha! That’s better, cheers Rob
cheers mate
What make/brand is the electric system on here? Is it a Bafang system?
Good afternoon.I have a hitway bk11 and I'm trying to get the throttle to work and I've tried your hack and it doesn't seem to work.
Really would like to get the throttle working so and help really appreciated
Thanks for detailed explanation. Have my a20f and I must say I am disappointed. Despite setting P12 to 0 which means acceleration strength set to min, the bike pulls strong each time making a ride far from smooth. I also increased number if gears to 5 and still even at 1st pulls strong making ride on crowded places tricky. Pity it is not torque sensor bike. Any ideas?
You should have got an Engwe engine X. It has no torque sensor but you can control the acceleration strength much easier than this bike because it depends what power setting you choose and it's got 5 of them. Also it has many other advantages over this ebike.
I bought this bike 5 months ago and happy with it, for the price it's worth it. It still needs regular maintenance and tightening every month or so. One thing to note is that it's easy to disable the "Throttle mode" if you turn it on while accidentally holding down one of the breaks or accelerator. This can be confusing especially since the console provides no indication. The battery will only last 30+ KM if you're using a lot of throttle mode only.
When you buy the bike there are two versions EU and international. Is this the EU version you are doing the hack on. I’m looking at buying this bike and just wondered which one I should get. Cheers. 👍
Please tell me you're going to try using this or some other off the shelf speed controller to power the magnetically assisted switched reluctance motor. I'm dying to see how much better it can perform while being cheaper than an off the shelf electric motor. You could try making the... stator? (The part that rotates and holds the metal bits that get attracted to the electromagnets) out of newspaper and casein glue composite for a cheaper/lighter? motor.
Now then a paper motor - interesting!
Throttle activation has changed:
Pull left brake and switch controller on and hold for 10 then hold the throttle and right brake for ten now switch off and on again. Assist level 3 and away you go.
Also: in 0 Assist if you press - it will travel at a max of 4.2 mph cruise control.
Are you in need of all parameters to restore factory settings also after put digits in there is little hack to do reboot ,I got this cause I had problem err ten so I got this and all good
Hi do you know how to get the throttle to work on a HITWAY BK11? I fitted one & it seem to work a couple of times but unfortunately doesn’t now, any help appreciated?🙏🏻
I'm interested in building a wheelchair based off of mountain bike hub motors. Ideally, it would be joystick driven. How do I go about getting the two motors to talk to each other and the joystick in such a way that they can interpolate say a diagonal input into the necessary speeds for each wheel. Is there a product on the market that would walk me through this? I don't have any coding abilities and I am not terribly skilled on a computer. I have no problem developing the mechanical platform. Is there a particular resource you can point me to?
there seem to be plenty of motorised wheelchairs out there with dual drive mate. I found this product
www.uumotor.com/24v-36v-30a-electric-wheelchair-joystick-controller.html
this or something similar seems to be what you want
@@ThinkingandTinkering thank you very very much for looking that up. I apologize, I should have been more specific. I own a chair similar to that now. I'm interested in building a chair that would allow me to go on mountain bike trails and hiking trails again. I believe I need the large wheels and gobs of torque to make it work. I'm also shooting for a somewhat more upright position where the body weight could influence steering. I'm sick of just being able to navigate cities. I hate cities. I want to make a new form of sport. The end goal is for it to be attractive to able-bodied people as well. I have a full machine shop at my disposal, I'm quite stupid when it comes to computers and modern signaling.
hi there,,would all those settings works on A20+ and A20 XE aswell?
my a20 doesn’t seem to be working with throttle only even after trying the hacks a few times?
hey will i need to do the throttle hack to get pure electric just using throttle wen i take this out of the box ? thanks i only want throttle realy
Hi wondered if you could help me Robert I’ve just bought the ADO a 20 and I’m having problems with the throttle as in the electric motor cutting it randomly any chance you could give me a advice please
Same, I tried fixing it and now it saying e09, the bran of bike I got is a dece oasis 300c.
It would be good if you could add all the factory settings in the bio eg P01 1, P02 2 ECT
Awsome guide but now throttle works in assist 3 but pedalling doesn't do anything at level 3 any advice
Same mine, did you fixed it? How?
hey can you please tell me why my display always shows 100% even though i have it set to 36v
Great video! I just got an ADO A20F and, following the instructions simply cannot get the throttle to work! 😞 Have managed the speed "hack" but the throttle refuses to work 😞 Have tried just about everything, watched the video a million times just to make sure I am not missing anything and still nothing 😞 Any further tips? It is an EU bike by the way.
Hi! I've got ADO A20F yesterday, but throttle not work. Do you resolve this problem? Sorry for my English...
Hi! I've bought an ADO A20+ and following the instructions cannot get the throttle work :(
Which throttle did you install? Was the throttle from official store?
Hi, how do i switch of the trottle mode? The 20sec hold and release doesn’t work.
Very interesting and research full thank you
If you select P20, 0000, and press up/down and hold , the controller should reset to FACTORY SETTINGS. It looks like its rhe same controller as the PVY,Plus 1000, just a different LCD
Why am I not getting a warning brake sign Changed all the settings as shown now I have nothing No pedal assist or throttle.??
Thanks boss
I have the same display, but I have a problem with the meter not working forward, it only works backward
I would like to see where I can bring my ADO (A20) to Robert Murray-Smith to set my bicycle yourself for me.
Hey can und help me i have the New Ado who i cannot die the Speed Limit faster. That is seit but Thats not my problem.

Do you know how to disable the throttle?
have changed po8 setting but still only get 15mph anything else i can do ?
Help needed please. Just bought two A20 bikes. Trying to change from hybrid mode to pedal assist but doesn't change. At the moment throttle works on assist level 2 and 3
Did you sort it mate? I have peddle assist in mode 1, and 2 and 3 are throttle only? Wtf .
@@coaldust01 Mine exactly the same.
@@kablpe I'm going to return it then, I wanted 3 peddle assist modes as advertised, and the front shocks are horrendous, good luck with yours.
I would have liked pedal assist in mode 3 as well, or pedal assist to work above 15mph. Anyone know how to do it?
Which one of those settings controls the assist for walking the bike uphill? I need to walk the bike up the ramp next to the staircase to reach my house, and I accidentally turned it off. 'Walk assist' would you call that?
@@r.robski3054 Thank you very much. I was using the throttle - too fast!
@@krystalwasser8250 do apologize...not power button but minus,just checked for shure,my mistake sorry
@@r.robski3054 Okay, no worries.
Just press and hold down the minus button and the motor will go at walking speed.
wow well done mate had bike all week you got it right watched other videos useless i will subscribe
My A20F pedal assist cuts out at 15 mph in setting 2. Is there any way I can get pedal assist to work at a higher speed?
Did you get answers hav same bike terrible without throttle
@@user-ru3ki3yd5q Yes, you can make the pedal assist cut out at a higher speed. Find the setting for wheel size and reduce the size of the wheel. This will increase your maximum pedal assist speed. Use gps to check the speed as the speedometer will no longer be accurate.
I jave an s866 and im getting an E-8 err code and my throttle doesnt work
Thanks.
Can anyone tell me, is it possible to lock the front suspention? Cheers
No you can't
Can I do this with a20f+ eu version?
So I activated the trothle. How do I deactivate it ? I tried many things, but no change at all
For me the P9 setting activates and deactivates the throttle.
Hi I got a city cross ado bike bought of a site their no throttle wit this bike I ave bought a throttle waiting to fit my settings only go to 9 on my display can you help pls
Hi all I just bought the a20+ eu version and now it doesn’t come with a throttle proper gutted. Does anyone know if I can just buy a throttle and possibly another controller to get it working? I’m assuming it’s still pretty much the same bike just even more restricted?
Thanks in advance.
Did you get any answer about this?
that would also depend on if it even got a plug to plug the throttle into or not. More than likely they probably have a plug someplace on the controller that goes un used for the bikes they sell in places that aren't allowed to have a throttle.
plug is taped and visible, so should work, anyone tried?
For some strange reason my throttle works in peddle assist 2 & 3 !!
It's supposed to do that
Hi everyone,
just got this awesome bike, but the throttle doesn´t work! I did all the settings from the video and i´ve tryed the hack to unlock the zero start. It won´t work! My Controller is missing some P settings, it ends with P16! Is this a bad sign? Please Help!
Did you fix this? Mine also goes up to P16 only but I have throttle. It's the P9 setting on mine that activates the throttle.
The teacher explained it well! Make sure your bicycle is off, then Accelerate to maximum while touching all the breaks. Put it on and count 20 times, then release the breaks as well as the accelerator at the same time! There you are done. I did it after suffering for a year now! The vice versa is true if you want to activate the pedals!
I still can’t get it into throttle mode? What am doing wrong?
Me too, did you fixed it?
Hey 👋
Sorry to inform but as of today 12/11/2022 the instructions given in your video to switch to throttle mode are incorrect, you need to:
1: Bike off
2: full throttle and front right brake lever (not both levers)
3: hold for 10 seconds (not 20)
4: and finished! Throttle is enabled
This worked on my A20+ that I got yesterday.
Can I ask was this the EU version?
@@grahamramsden4200 yes it was an EU version as I live in the UK 🇬🇧
If you still have that yellow paper bike you could race with Luke
nice idea mate lol
Bro I can't get this throttle to work please help I followed your instructions now nothing works
i have got the factory settings from ado themselves if you need it emailed to you
Reset the settings you go to P 19 and you hold the minus button for 20 seconds
Is it possible to get it i to pedal assist and throttle mode?
P10 drive mode 0 ( no assist and just throttle) 1 ( electric pedal assist and no throttle ) 2 ( both)
How to remove E 06 please
Why does my ADO A20 only have up to p16 mode, it doesn't have p17, p18, p19 and p20 as shown in the video?
Yeah, same here! And my throttle doesn´t work :(
Mine to! Only 16p. However everything works fine, including throttle.
Mine to 🤔
Same here. P9 setting activates the throttle on mine.
My battery symbol is always blinking how can i correct this abnormality
Please can you hack Himo Z20 enable throttle control
It wasnt 17 that was the setting you were looking for in the car park was it
should try change the voltage settings and make a 12s or 13s battery pack for it, wouldn't fit in the frame but you could have it in a backpack.
Take it out to a dirt path and see how fast it'll go under its own power
cheers mate
Video 1292 shows the motor itself is rated to 36V, so overvolting it might not be the best idea.
Try telling the important point at the beginning not the end as people follow your instructions then find it takes ages to reset controller important facts at the beginning not the end
I received it today. The throttle does nothing. I followed the procedure but it doesn't work. Can anyone help me? Thanks
I have the same problem. Maybe they've made some changes? There are a few people here saying the same thing.
have you solved this problem? my bike´s throttle doesn´t work as well :(
@@QuotesOfMankind Did you put in in hybrid mode?
It took me a few tries. I don't know what I did different but it worked! I think you have to follow precisely what he says maybe I was talking short cuts before.
On mine it is the P9 setting that activates the throttle.
in pedal assist mode it doens't go over 25km please help
I second this. I would also like pedal assist to work above 15mph.
I guess you go to p8 and raise the speed limit, but I'm not sure.
2.25
my bike was far easier. but it has a different display, simpler version. you guys should know iv put up 1,870 km on mine with out a single problem.... these are worth every penny..
theres no legal stuff here in Ireland yet....
hey are pretty awesome for sure
