The bird 590 controller is a proprietary one that requires an unlock/on signal from the top controller, I don't think anyone's figured out how they communicate in order to replicate the signals. So without and OK signal from the top controller it won't let you activate the main board to ride it. Swapping the basic 350w ebike controller bypasses all that junk and just lets you run it. Hoping someone can unlock the stock main board to get a little more speed out of it.
I'm worried about swapping a m365 one on since they're 250w motors and the 590 has a 350w, not sure if it's doable or if you'll burn it up? My 350w ebay controller doesn't have a screen, works fine but it seems like no one's really getting over 16ish mph which is slow for those if you've ever rented one!
Not that I have any idea what I'm doing but I want to plug the main into a serial breadboard and see if I can pull anything from it
Maybe when I'm home in a couple weeks I'll dig that stuff out
