Part 3 of my review for the Atlas...
With 160NM of power the G510 motor is called the diesel engine of the Ebike world for good reason. But not all G510 motors are programmed to deliver power the same way.
For instance I own another full suspension China bike with the same motor and a different display. On that bike when I got it was programmed so aggressive it wanted to buck you off the back with just a touch of the throttle. With some help from the internet I was able to re-program that bike but it caused me some sleepless nights trying to figure out how I could fix that issue.
Not so with the Atlas. The Engineers at Magician and Bafang really did their homework to deliver a smooth power delivery in all the PAS modes they offer. The parameters in settings to change power output in my estimation should be left alone as Magician really got it right. Great job Magician.
The new C010 display is better than my older DC-18 Instead of Pas 1, 2, 3 etc Magician names it Eco , Tour , Sport, Sport + and Boost. Power is spaced very seamlessly yet just right in its delivery. My screen selection is Technology .
Interestingly in settings when it comes to tire size there is only one option -26 inch. That's odd because the first models released to the public had an option for a 29 inch wheel set. Also the 29 inch tires are still offered on the Magician website.
In regards of the Walk mode its only available by pressing the minus button going past the "off" mode. I find that somewhat a minor annoyance as sometimes I may stop for whatever reason to walk the bike in Eco or Tour . modes.
When riding if you press and hold the minus button it will ask if you want to reset the trip meter.
The gearing is spot on for the type of riding I do which is paved and hard packed Rail beds. Final drive for the smallest gear gives a pleasant cadence and good speed of around 18-20 mph. Finally someone who actually rides was allowed input on the gear ratios.
In settings there is a selection for Torque or Cadence . This one caught me by surprise as I did not know there was a choice to be had. In Torque and using 80% Tour and about 20% Eco I was able to get 43 miles with 37 % battery left so 50 miles is within reach. I have yet to try Cadence for trip mileage .
The seat post can be trimmed for someone who is shorter than me at five feet eight inches. My friend is 5 feet four inches and I think with the post trimmed he just might fit.
Hope this helps.
