New subby here :) This video would help me a lot. Just got my new Fold X torch (only color available when I placed my order on March 30) and been scouring YT videos for miscellaneous instructions/infos. Great info thanks Mike.
Worked on my Fold X. I also lowered my tire size because i did switch tires to street tires. I don't think that increases or decreases the speed but I'm going for accuracy. I'm gonna use map my ride to check it. The speed on mine was set at 35 and I increased it to 40.
Hola. Estoy cambiando el sensor del pedal, pero funciona al giro contrario. En el menú no encuentro la opción "Power Assistant Sensor Settings (optional) The Direction of PAS Settings" para cambiar forward/back. Usted sabe como ingresar? (+- 2 segundos, hold +- 2 segundos: sólo hay 3 opciones)
Error 30 is one of the most common faults that occur, it is a communication error between your bafang components...usually the display and the controller. Unfortunately the Bafang set up First check all your connections and make sure they are connected solidly. Jiggle your connections and look for kinks in your wiring harnass. If this still works you probably have a fried component. Here are things it could be: Display (most common culprit) Wiring Harness Controller Speedo Good luck
I have the sondors folding x i followed instructions set to 40 it only went up to 23 mph. Does it take several rides to adjust to new speed setting. ? Thanks😊
Depends on the model of the lcd. At the end of that video there is a web site that has instructions on how to to the increase on most models good luck thanks for watching!
Any idea where we can find the full documentation for all the advanced settings on the LCD? I’m managed to change something that has disabled all throttle & pedal assistance on my new Fold X (I suspect something in the CUr or SYs menus since I can make sense of most of the other options)
I just looked on their web site and I dont see it posted. I did find this but have not tried it. www.manualslib.com/manual/1570451/Key-Disp-Kd51c-D.html?page=2#manual
@@MikeAndTheGreatOutdoors I thought I’d perhaps blown a fuse or something that would account for the total lack of boost. However it intermittently started to respond and operate after I re-checked the connection point where the cable meets the motor. As far as I know I have yet to fix anything meaningful in the settings so I now suspect the connections. But it’s working at this moment. 👍
Curious I can only peddle 26.5mph then it deals as if the motor is breaking and won't it go faster, do you know if there is a restriction I can get rid of to peddle faster thanks
Hi.. I would say deal directly with the manufacture. I never tried order through Amazon. I do need to warn you, shipping takes forever. Have a great day.
@@MikeAndTheGreatOutdoors I appreciate it. Yeah I ended up just going with the Fold X for now, and if I like it, later I can buy the XS. All off the sondors website! Be safe and thanks again for the advice.
looking for the Battery setting ,, some how I messed it up and now it shows 3 bars then at any point it drains it still shows 2 bars , then dies completely at any given time while riding , had to peddle with no power a long way to get back home,, I need to set it back to it showing one bar blinking to let me know I need to start heading back home and charge it
@@MikeAndTheGreatOutdoors Yes been riding the bke for 4 years ,, I must have pushed the middle button to long to look at my odometer etc,,, and it changed something else,,, when I first got my bike I found someone on FB that showed me how to change each power bar to change each speed tp it etc,,, I had it set nice with out making it run full power at full speed , I didn't want to burn up the motor or the charging system , would like to put it back to factory settings but cant find the video on you tube that has the older style / Original LCD Screen
@@MikeAndTheGreatOutdoors This video is helpful it you mention changing speed settings but what about how the bars stay full and or drop 1 -2 bars , then while riding it never goes to 1 bar blinking it stays at 2 -3 bars and as I ride , when battery is dead it just turns off , then I'm stuck peddling home with out any power ,, does that explain my issue better ??? Thank you for your help
Well when its on its last bar it doesn't have like a percentage legfton the gauge. I've gotten a feel for the bike and use my miles riden as a guage also. My son has a rad mini, which has the same specs as my my bike. My bike shows less power left than his but we still can go the same distance
I absolutely recommend the air shocks. Not sure you would notice the difference between the 500 watt and the 750 watt unless you're in a hilly area. My son has the 750 watt and we dont notice much different unl6we are going up hill
Thank you!! I was having a hell of a time trying to figure that one out with the manual!
Most welcome!
I have used my Sondors fold for 2-3 years and have been trying to find a way to increase the speed since then! Tysm for this tutorial:)
Very welcome thank you for watching !
Thank you so much for making this video, you brought my Sondors Fold riding experience to a whole new level!
You're the Best!
Most welcome
You are still the man in 2021!!! Much thanx👍
Lol glad I could help
Thank you! Just changed my setting from the factory preset of 32 to the max 40. Took just a couple of minutes. Much appreciated!!
Your very welcome, thank you for watching
Thanks for the video. Just did it to 2020 FoldX and it works. Factory set number is 32.
Thank you so much for that help! Hard to find that info and I made the changes with no issues following these instructions. Awesome!
Hour very welcome thank you for watching !
Thanks . From Dundas ont Canada

Glad I could help! Love the Torch Red enjoy!
It also works on the 19-2020 models
Worked great on my 2018 Fold X! THANK YOU MIKE!!
Your very welcome. I’m glad it worked
Can you do the top speed solely with throttle?
Worked on my Fold X. I also lowered my tire size because i did switch tires to street tires. I don't think that increases or decreases the speed but I'm going for accuracy. I'm gonna use map my ride to check it. The speed on mine was set at 35 and I increased it to 40.
So wait, you can change the "Max SPEED" from 20 mph to 40 mhp? Dude I'm so close to buying a FOLD X. What do you think?
Elle Star no it’s in kmh
@@X82oo781 ooh so bout 24 mph max. That's a cool little boost
Charlie Stone can it do 40 solely with throttle?
Thank you for making this video ! You are the man !
Thank you This really helped, Great job showing how to do this
Glad it helped. Thank you for watching!
Thank you Sondors Brother
Thanks for watching!
Works on the newest model of the fold x as of April 11 2021

Very helpful
Thank you for watching
thank you , i have the sondors fold my LCD screen flashes ERROR 30 .. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN AND HOW TO FIX IT . YOUR INFO WILL REALLY HELP
Error 30 is one of the most common faults that occur, it is a communication error between your bafang components...usually the display and the controller.
Unfortunately the Bafang set up
First check all your connections and make sure they are connected solidly.
Jiggle your connections and look for kinks in your wiring harnass.
If this still works you probably have a fried component. Here are things it could be:
Display (most common culprit)
Wiring Harness
Controller
Speedo
Good luck
I have the sondors folding x i followed instructions set to 40 it only went up to 23 mph. Does it take several rides to adjust to new speed setting. ? Thanks😊
Should work the first time. Make sure you have good tire pressure
@@MikeAndTheGreatOutdoors thanks 19lbs was lots of cold headwind in pacifica ca
That will do it!
Muchas gracias, en el manual no mencionan esa combinación i- 😸
De nada
Thanks for the video! Do you know if this would work on the Sondors X as well?
Depends on the model of the lcd. At the end of that video there is a web site that has instructions on how to to the increase on most models good luck thanks for watching!
Is that a regular fold x bike with and what kind of suspension fork is that?
Hi, yes, it's a regular fold X. It has the Sondors air shock fork. You can see if the sill carry it on their website. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for making this video. Wanna know if this will harm the motor?
Shouldn't, the only thing it should affect is your battery charge. It will drain your battery slightly quicker. Thanks for watching!
thanks. not sure why sondors keeps this information a Secret ? 2nd year w/the FoldX at 700 miles.
Reason why I believe its be becase the bike is rated at a class 2, which is not to go faster than 20 mph. Thanks for watching
I found a trick take the tire size to 17 inch an watch your rpm ..you will need to buy another speedo though
I heard of people doing that. Haven't tried it. Thanks for watching!
Have you thought about going to a 25a controller??? I just did made a hug difference from the stock 15a, I'll be doing a how to video soon😁
I had thought about it. Couldn't really figure out how much of a difference. Let me know when you do a video
Any idea where we can find the full documentation for all the advanced settings on the LCD? I’m managed to change something that has disabled all throttle & pedal assistance on my new Fold X (I suspect something in the CUr or SYs menus since I can make sense of most of the other options)

Did you get it working?
@@MikeAndTheGreatOutdoors I thought I’d perhaps blown a fuse or something that would account for the total lack of boost. However it intermittently started to respond and operate after I re-checked the connection point where the cable meets the motor. As far as I know I have yet to fix anything meaningful in the settings so I now suspect the connections. But it’s working at this moment. 👍
Where did you get your suspension fork for the sondors fold x from ??
From Sonders parts department
@@MikeAndTheGreatOutdoors thanks! Did it go on pretty easy?
Very easy, just make sure you release any pressure out of the shock you are replacing.
Curious I can only peddle 26.5mph then it deals as if the motor is breaking and won't it go faster, do you know if there is a restriction I can get rid of to peddle faster thanks
Hmm make sure you don’t have a brake or brakes dragging, proper tire pressure. Double check your settings
Do you happen to know how to get to the changing amp settings?
Hmmm, I've never been in those settings. The bike is storage now, so I'm unable to check. I'm sorry. Thank you for watching
Is the sondors site the best option to buy one of these, or are there better deals, like Amazon per say?
Hi.. I would say deal directly with the manufacture. I never tried order through Amazon. I do need to warn you, shipping takes forever. Have a great day.

Thanks! Enjoy the new ride!
Thinking about getting one. Is there a problem with your knees hitting the frame when pedaling.
No problem with me the seat has a ton of adjustment
Thanks
Does it kill the battery faster ?
Yes, slightly, doubt you will notice. Thanks for Watching
Change your tire size to the biggest size. Your speed will increase, but your speed accuracy will be wrong.
Is this true
@@patleahy1985 Yes, I have it set that way, It shows way to be miles now. Not sure if speed increased, but torque at start up is more sgnificant.
Thanks 😊

should i get the xs with the 750 watt motor and air shocks!
I absolutely recommend the air shocks. Not sure you would notice the difference between the 500 watt and the 750 watt unless you're in a hilly area. My son has the 750 watt and we dont notice much different unl6we are going up hill
@@MikeAndTheGreatOutdoors thank you I will just go with the x and order the forks later save some money cheers!!
Can you take the litter off. Thanks for the video
Sorry I dont understand
Im my gosh I'm sorry I meant the limiter for the speed
Is this bike the X or the XS model?
It's for the fold X, not sure what display the XS uses. Most menu's are simular.
anyone know how to do a factory reset?
Whats your top speed now?
Between 23-24 mph. Downhill grade I can get 25.
40 mph?
No not 40, 23-25
It’s probably 40 kilometers per hour which is about 24 mph
