Bafang E-Bike How To Reset Trip

Common Methods to Reset the Bafang Trip Distance

To reset the trip meter on a Bafang e-bike display, use the button combination matching your specific display model. Most units require holding the Power and Minus (–) buttons or the Plus (+) and Minus (–) buttons together, or navigating the internal settings menu via the Info (i) or Power button.

• Basic Displays: Turn on the display, then press and hold the Power and Minus (–) buttons at the same time until the trip distance clears to zero.
• Color Displays: Turn on the bike, make sure the screen displays your trip stats, and firmly press and hold the Plus (+) and Minus (–) buttons together for about 2 seconds, or check if a quick simultaneous press clears the current trip counter.
• Advanced/Menu-Driven Displays: Double-tap the Power or Info (i) button quickly to open the settings menu. Scroll using the minus key to find "TRIP Reset" or "Trip Clear", select it with the i or power button, change the option to "YES", and confirm to clear the data. Be sure to navigate to "Back" or "Exit" to save your changes before leaving the menu.

E-Bike C961: How to Reset the Trip Distance

The Bafang C961 display provides basic controls for powering your e-bike on and off, changing pedal-assist levels, activating walk assist, controlling the backlight, and resetting the trip distance.

Before riding, install the display and control pad securely on the handlebar and adjust them to a comfortable position. Make sure all components are firmly attached.

Bafang C961 Button Functions at a Glance

1. Bafang E-Bike C961: How to Reset the Trip Distance

The C961 allows you to clear the current TRIP distance without deleting the e-bike's total accumulated mileage.

To reset the trip:

1. Turn on the e-bike and C961 display.
2. Press and hold the Power button and Minus (–) button simultaneously.
3. Continue holding both buttons until the TRIP distance resets.
4. Check the display to confirm the trip reading has returned to zero.

Does Resetting TRIP Reset the Odometer?

No.

Resetting the TRIP distance does not reset the odometer. Your e-bike's overall accumulated mileage remains stored in the system.

This makes the TRIP function useful for tracking the distance of an individual ride without affecting the bike's lifetime mileage.

2. How to Turn the Bafang C961 On and Off

Before turning on the display, make sure the e-bike battery is switched on, if your battery has a separate power button.

Turn On

Press and hold the Power button on the control pad until the C961 display turns on.

Turn Off

Press and hold the Power button again until the display switches off.

Note: If the display does not turn on, check that the battery is charged, switched on, and properly connected to the e-bike.

3. How to Change the Pedal Assist Level

The Bafang C961 control pad allows you to increase or decrease the amount of motor assistance while riding.

Use the:

• Plus (+) button to increase the pedal-assist level.
• Minus (–) button to decrease the pedal-assist level.

When the display is first powered on, the default setting is PAS Level 0.

At Level 0, pedal assistance is not active. Increasing the PAS level provides progressively more motor assistance while pedaling.

For example, a higher PAS setting can be useful when climbing hills or when you want stronger acceleration, while a lower PAS setting can help conserve battery power.

4. How to Use Walk Assist Mode

The C961 also includes a Walk Assist Mode, designed to help you push a heavy e-bike while walking beside it.

To activate Walk Assist:

1. Turn on the C961 display.
2. Press and hold the Minus (–) button.
3. A walking icon will appear on the display.
4. Continue holding the Minus button.
5. The motor will move the bicycle at approximately 4 mph.

You must continue holding the button for Walk Assist to remain active.

To stop Walk Assist, simply release the Minus (–) button.

Important: Walk Assist is intended only for moving the bicycle while you are walking alongside it. Do not use Walk Assist while riding the e-bike.

5. How to Turn the Backlight On and Off

The Bafang C961 has a display backlight for improved visibility in dark or low-light conditions.

To turn on the backlight:

Press and hold the Plus (+) button.

The C961 display backlight will turn on.

If your e-bike is equipped with a compatible front light connected to the Bafang system, activating the backlight may also turn on the bicycle light.

To turn it off, press and hold the Plus (+) button again.

What If the Bafang C961 Controls Don't Work?

If the display does not respond correctly, first turn the e-bike off and restart the system. Check that the battery is charged and properly installed, and inspect the display and control-pad cables for loose or damaged connections.

If only one button is not responding, the problem may be related to the control pad or its wiring rather than the motor or battery.

Keep in mind that these instructions are specifically for the Bafang C961 display. Other Bafang displays may use different button combinations for Walk Assist, lighting, settings, and TRIP reset.

C965: How to Reset Trip

If your e-bike uses a Bafang C965 display, you can reset the trip information directly from the display controls. Unlike some Bafang displays that reset only the TRIP distance, the C965's Data Cleanup function clears several pieces of temporary riding data at the same time.

How to Reset Trip on the Bafang C965

1. Turn on the e-bike and C965 display.
2. Locate the UP (+) and DOWN (–) buttons on the control pad.
3. Press and hold the UP and DOWN buttons together for approximately 1 second.
4. Release the buttons after the temporary riding data has been reset.

The reset clears the current trip statistics and allows the C965 to begin recording new ride data.

What Data Does the C965 Reset?

According to the C965 Data Cleanup function, pressing UP + DOWN together resets the following temporary data:

Important: More Than Just the Trip Distance Is Reset

Be aware that this button combination is not a TRIP-only reset.

When you reset the trip on the Bafang C965, the display also clears your average speed, maximum speed, and trip time. If you want to keep these statistics from your current ride, record them before performing the reset.

Does Resetting the C965 Trip Reset the Odometer?

No. The Data Cleanup function is intended for temporary riding information. Your e-bike's accumulated odometer mileage is not part of the temporary data listed for this reset.

Bafang C965 Trip Reset Quick Reference

C965 Reset Combination:
UP (+) + DOWN (–) → Hold for 1 second

This resets:

TRIP + AVG Speed + MAX Speed + Time

It does not reset the bike's total odometer mileage.

If the reset does not work, make sure the display is powered on and press both buttons simultaneously rather than pressing one before the other.

DPC-18: How to Reset Trip

If your e-bike uses a Bafang DPC-18 display, you can reset the trip information through the display's settings menu. The TRIP Reset function clears the current trip data so that your next ride starts from zero.

7. Press the Information (i) button again to save the setting and exit the option.

Once the reset is completed, the applicable trip readings will return to zero.

What Does the DPC-18 TRIP Reset Clear?

The DPC-18 TRIP Reset clears several temporary riding statistics at the same time:

Therefore, this function does more than simply reset your current trip mileage. If you want to keep your maximum or average speed from the ride, record those values before performing the reset.

Does TRIP Reset Clear the Odometer?

The TRIP Reset function is intended to clear temporary trip readings rather than the e-bike's permanent accumulated mileage.

After the reset, your TRIP reading returns to zero, allowing the display to begin tracking a new ride.

Bafang DPC-18 Trip Reset Quick Reference

Settings → TRIP Reset → Press (i) → Select Reset with (+)/(–) → Press (i) to Save

This resets:

TRIP + MAXS + AVG

What If the DPC-18 Trip Won't Reset?

If the trip data does not return to zero:

• Make sure you selected TRIP Reset rather than another display setting.
• Use the Plus (+) or Minus (–) button to change the reset option before confirming it.
• Remember to press the Information (i) button again to save your selection.
• If necessary, turn the display off and back on and repeat the procedure.

The exact menu appearance can vary slightly depending on the DPC-18 firmware version and the e-bike manufacturer's configuration, but the basic reset process remains the same.

500C: How to Reset Trip

If your e-bike uses a Bafang 500C display, you can reset the trip information using the display's Data Cleanup function. This clears several temporary ride statistics at the same time, including trip distance, average speed, maximum speed, and trip time.

You do not need to turn the display off or remove the battery to perform the reset.

What Data Does the Bafang 500C Reset?

The 500C Data Cleanup function resets several temporary riding statistics:

This means the button combination is not only a trip-distance reset. Your AVG Speed, MAX Speed, and Time data will also be cleared.

If you want to keep these statistics from your current ride, write them down before resetting the display.

Does Turning Off the Bafang 500C Reset Trip Data?

No.

According to the 500C instructions, these temporary data cannot be erased simply by powering off the display.

Turning the e-bike off and back on will therefore not reset:

• TRIP
• AVG Speed
• MAX Speed
• Time

You need to use the UP + DOWN button combination to clear them.

Does the Bafang 500C Trip Reset Clear the Odometer?

The Data Cleanup function is specifically described as clearing temporary data. The total accumulated odometer mileage is not included among the data cleared by this function.

Therefore, resetting your trip statistics does not mean resetting the e-bike's total mileage.

Bafang 500C Trip Reset Quick Reference

UP (+) + DOWN (–) → Hold together for 1 second

This resets:

TRIP + AVG Speed + MAX Speed + Time

The data will not be cleared simply by turning the e-bike off.

What If the Bafang 500C Trip Won't Reset?

If the trip data does not reset, make sure the display is powered on and that you are pressing the UP and DOWN buttons at exactly the same time.

Hold both buttons for at least 1 second before releasing them. If nothing happens, restart the display and try the button combination again.

Keep in mind that Bafang uses different reset procedures across its displays. Instructions for the C961, C965, DPC-18, or other Bafang displays should not automatically be applied to the 500C.

DP C07: How to Reset Trip

If your e-bike uses a Bafang DP C07 display, you can reset the trip distance through the display's MENU. The reset function also clears the maximum speed and average speed recorded for the current trip.

2. Quickly press the Information (i) button twice.
   Each press should be shorter than 0.3 seconds. This opens the MENU interface.
3. Look for “tC” on the display.
   This is the mileage/trip reset setting.

   • y (YES) – Reset the trip data.
   • n (NO) – Keep the existing trip data.
5. Select “y” if you want to reset the trip.

The DP C07 therefore does more than simply reset the TRIP mileage. Your recorded maximum and average speeds are also cleared.

If you want to keep these statistics, record them before performing the reset.

Does Resetting TRIP Reset the Total Odometer?

No. The reset function described above is for the daily trip data. It does not reset the e-bike's total accumulated odometer mileage.

After resetting, the daily TRIP starts again from zero while the bike's overall mileage remains stored.

Bafang DP C07 Trip Reset Quick Reference

Turn on display → Press (i) twice quickly → Find “tC” → Select “y” with (+)/(–) → Press (i) twice to save and exit

Selecting “y” resets:

TRIP + MAX + AVG

Does the DP C07 Trip Distance Reset Automatically?

Yes, under one specific condition.

According to the DP C07 instructions, if the daily trip distance accumulates to 9,999 km, the daily mileage will automatically reset.

For normal riding, however, you can manually clear the trip data at any time using the tC setting described above.

What If the Bafang DP C07 Trip Won't Reset?

If the TRIP value does not return to zero, check that you selected “y” rather than “n” in the tC menu.

Also make sure you save your selection using the Information (i) button before leaving the settings menu. Simply entering the tC menu without selecting and saving “y” will not clear the trip data.

The reset procedure is specific to the Bafang DP C07. Other Bafang displays, such as the C961, C965, 500C, and DPC-18, may use different button combinations or menu procedures.
