BAFANG DPC18 3.5" 5-Pin Ebike Display for BBS01B BBS02B BBSHD — UART Protocol, IPX5, USB 5V

The BAFANG DPC18 5-pin display is a direct-fit 3.5-inch control and information panel made for BBS01B, BBS02B and BBSHD mid-drive motors, providing PAS levels, a DC 5V USB port and automatic backlight.

If you ride a Bafang mid-drive conversion kit and need a reliable dash that shows speed, assist level and battery data, the DPC18 is engineered specifically for the OEM UART protocol used by BBS01B, BBS02B and BBSHD motors. It is not a universal screen — the internal protocol and 5-pin wiring match those Bafang mid-drives so installation is straightforward when your wiring and connector align. The 3.5-inch HD panel and IPX5 water resistance give clear, usable readouts in wet or low-light conditions, while the integrated USB port offers emergency phone charging when you're out on the road.

How do I know this will work with my mid-drive motor?

The DPC18 was built to communicate over Bafang's UART protocol and uses the 5-pin waterproof connector standard on BBS01B, BBS02B and BBSHD motors. It will not function with other motor families or non-UART controllers.

• Compatible models: BBS01B, BBS02B, BBSHD running Bafang UART protocol
• Connector: 5-pin waterproof plug matching original harness
• Not compatible: non-UART Bafang motors or third-party controllers
• Simple swap: plug-and-play replacement when wiring and pins match

What information and controls does the display provide while riding?

The DPC18 shows core ride metrics and lets you pick assistance across ten PAS levels, with automatic backlight adaptation for varying light. The screen makes it easy to see speed, trip and battery info at a glance.

• Readouts: speed, trip distance, total distance, and battery status
• PAS: assist levels 0 through 9 for fine control of motor output
• Screen: 3.5-inch HD panel for clearer numbers and icons
• Backlight: automatic brightness adjustment to ambient light

Can I charge my phone or accessories from the display?

Yes — the DPC18 includes a DC 5V USB port intended for emergency phone charging and small accessories. It is a convenience feature, not a high-capacity power bank.

• Output: DC 5V USB port for phones or small devices
• Use case: emergency top-up while riding or to power small electronics
• Limits: not intended to charge large devices or replace primary power packs
• Access: integrated on the display housing for easy reach

How durable and weather-resistant is this display?

The unit is built with IPX5 water resistance and a sealed 5-pin plug to withstand road spray and light rain. The bright HD screen and rugged connector help it endure regular outdoor use.

• Ingress protection: IPX5 rating against water jets and spray
• Connector: 5-pin waterproof plug with secure seating
• Screen: 3.5" HD glass designed for outdoor visibility
• Construction: automotive-style housing for daily riding conditions

Who is this for? The BAFANG DPC18 display is aimed at riders and mechanics who run Bafang BBS01B, BBS02B or BBSHD mid-drive kits and want a direct replacement or an upgrade that restores full ECU communication. It's well suited for DIY ebike builders, repair shops, and commuters who need reliable readouts, variable PAS control and the occasional USB top-up while keeping the original wiring and connector architecture.
