Version Information

Release Date: 13/02/2026

Firmware Version: Dash: 1.0.217 

Overview

This release includes significant improvements to battery management, user interface, and system reliability. Key enhancements focus on power derating protection, display control, regenerative braking, and user experience improvements.

Major Features & Improvements

🔋 Battery Management & Power Protection

Enhanced Power Derating System

  • Automatic Power Limiting: When battery charge drops below 15%, power is automatically limited to protect the battery

  • Early Warning System: You'll receive a warning notification when battery charge falls below 30%, giving you advance notice before power limiting begins

  • Progressive Protection: As battery voltage decreases, the system progressively reduces available power to prevent damage

  • Safety Isolation: If battery voltage drops too low, the system automatically isolates the battery for safety

Improved Battery Level Display

  • Battery level readings are now more accurate and stable

  • The display no longer shows false drops during hard acceleration

  • Battery level is calculated and displayed more reliably

🚗 Regenerative Braking

Enhanced Regen Performance

  • Maximum regenerative braking power increased by 50% for stronger braking

  • Regen engagement and deactivation are now smoother and more predictable

  • Prevents rapid cycling on and off at low speeds for a better riding experience

⚙️ Reverse Mode

  • Reverse power increased by 50% for improved reverse maneuverability

🖥️ Display Control

New Display Logic

  • Mode Button Control: Tap the mode button to illuminate the display when the bike is in Charge, Isolation, or Off states

  • Unlock Functionality:

    • To unlock, illuminate the screen and enter your PIN

    • If using a proximity key and it's in range, tapping the mode button will immediately unlock the bike

  • Auto Timeout: Display automatically turns off after 15 seconds of inactivity if the bike remains in a state where the display can timeout

  • State-Based Behavior: Display remains on during active riding states (Drive Ready, Drive, etc.)

🌡️ Thermal Management

Improved Fan Control

  • Fan now activates based on component temperatures to keep the system cool

  • Prevents rapid fan cycling on and off, reducing unnecessary noise

  • Fan also activates automatically when riding at speed

🔧 System Maintenance & Diagnostics

Dash Reboot Function

  • Hold Cruise + Mode buttons for 5 seconds to reboot the dash display

  • No longer requires isolation when dash has communication issues

  • Improves troubleshooting and system recovery

New UI Features

  • New status icons at the top of the display show system connectivity and status

📊 User Interface Improvements

Notification System

  • Notification banner now displays important warnings including:

    • Battery power limiting warnings

    • Kickstand down warnings

    • Critical system warnings take priority

Temperature Display

  • Motor temperature on home screen now shows simplified indicators:

    • LOW (electric blue) - Cold

    • MEDIUM (green) - Normal operating temperature

    • HIGH (red) - Hot

  • Easier to read at a glance than numeric temperature readings

Notes for Riders

  • Battery level readings are now more accurate and stable

  • Display will automatically turn off after 15 seconds when the bike is off, charging, or in isolation mode to conserve power

  • Fan operation may be more noticeable, but this is normal and indicates the system is properly managing temperatures

  • If you experience display issues, hold the Cruise + Mode buttons together for 5 seconds to reboot the display
