SMALLEST IN ITS OWN CLASS ...A break through technology that display real live information through Bluetooth enabled cell-phone
Thank you for purchasing the speedict ebike,
world’s first electric bike computer that transform a generic electric bike to a smart bike with governor1 feature make street legal possible and stream measured and calculated electrical parameters right to your cell and smart-phone2. By eliminating awkward wires and bulky display panel, ebike is the smallest and lightest in its class.
When within range3, biker can instantly get the critical electrical parameters hassle free using their bluetooth enabled java cell-phone, when gps built-in android smart phone4 is connected, location information is also be recorded.
TECHNOLOGY
Introduction
The ebike measures and records speed, current, voltage and temperature over time, then use these measurements to calculate the maximum power (watt), battery consumption (mah). Real-time information as to live and peak current, live and used voltage, current and maximum power (watt), as well as existing and consumed capacity (mah) is transmitting using bluetooth technology. Biker can use their cell-phone to read these data in real-time for their pleasure or to fine-tune their power system.
1. provides voltage, speed, temperature, current cut-off, current throttle and en15194 compliant ...2. support standard java midp 2.0 or below, and bluetooth access via btapi3. depended on cell-phone model (as tested with motorola slvr l7, the range is up to 80m)4. android smart phone with a-gps built-in
world’s first electric bike computer come
with data logging and live view via
cell phone !

★ system diagnostic and optimization equipment.
★ maximize trip time,
★ maximize trip distance,
★ controller and motor efficiencies through knowledge of current flow through controller and motor,
★ improve battery life by monitoring battery health, charger performance and current put through, and discharge from a battery,
★ eliminate potential risk of damaging components with peak current,
★ reduce voltage sags that cause components to operate out of specification,
★ feedback as to why power is lost during different trip conditions,
★ effects of modifications, aging, and damage on many electrical system components,
★ safe guard power system by govern speed, current, voltage and temperature cut-off
★ transforms generic speed controller with smart features like 1:1 pas, cruise, utilize throttle range, current throttle,
★ turn your electric bike to compliant with local regulation e.g. en15194 for european countries.
function mode allows configurable function model through its on-board 4 i/o ports, in combining with governor features it can provide riders’ needs on both safety and system utilization. for instance, configure speedict ebike to measure pedal cadence rate, matching cadence rate for power delivery, redefine throttle’s highest and lowest point and even configure to compliant with en15194 standard.
The ebike provides critical information in a revolutionary way to give rider a new way to fine-tune the performance of their electrical powered bike for things such as :

eBike provides real time data streaming into any bluetooth equipped java cell-phone. Download and copy the software to your cell-phone via either bluetooth or data cable as a normal java game and install accordingly. Since installation methods for java applets vary from brand to brand, they may display entire different dialog; e.g. Nokia phones allow copied java program to run directly while sony ericsson phones require you to install copied java program to another folder! The following example is based on a sony ericsson k770i model.
1. download ebike mobile client from speedict.com
2. turn on your cell phone’s bluetooth
3. run (some cell-phones need installation first) the ebike mobile client from the location where it is saved
4. press the search button on the ebike mobile client’s menu and start searching for available bluetooth device(s)
5. press ok or yes when the "allow application to create client bluetooth connection" dialog box appear
6. press ok or yes when the "ebike add to my devices ? " dialog box appears
7. when ask for passcode, enter 00000 which is default passcode and can be changed via ebike pc client later
8. ebike immediate display current, average and maximum speed value
9. press number 0 to 7 from keypad for different views or features
10. press number 8 from the keypad to create a new session that also wraps up current recording session. i.e. measuring power of different start style or power assist level ...
11. press exit from client menu to exit program at any time
