To dive into the settings menus that control the e-bike’s features, press and hold the “+” and “-” buttons on the controller for two seconds. The settings screen will pop up shortly after.

In the settings menu, navigate through options using the “+” and “-” keys. To transition between different screens, press the “i” button which also saves any changes made. Below is an overview of what each screen represents:

• tc: The initial setting screen, titled “TC-n,” serves as the trip distance monitor. Alter the “n” to “y” to reset the trip distance measurement, starting your mileage count afresh. Hit “i” to confirm and proceed to the next screen.
• bl: The second screen should display “bl-1,” where “bl” refers to the backlight brightness settings. Use the “+” and “-” buttons to adjust the brightness between 1 and 3. Press “i” to save changes before moving on.
• u: The next display should read “u-1,” designating your unit of measurement. Setting “u-1” showcases speed and distance in miles, while “u-2” switches to kilometers.

If needed, a long press of the “i” button (for over two seconds) will save all your settings and exit the menu to reveal the main display once again.

Can the Top Speed of Your Buzz Drone E-Bike Be Altered?

The three settings mentioned above encapsulate all the user-friendly customization options available for this electric bicycle. Buzz has stated that the maximum speed and other parameters are “locked by the manufacturer to guarantee compliance with Class 2 regulations.” This means that speed enthusiasts or those looking to modify their e-bike will find limited flexibility—what you see is what you get.

Should you encounter any numerical error codes on your Buzz Drone, here’s what each one signifies:

• 22 & 02: Throttle or cable connection issue
• 23 & 03: Controller or LCD malfunction (possibly due to bent pins)
