With the continuous development of technology, the e-bike display has now become a standard feature of ebikes. The display can record a lot of riding data such as the distance traveled, speed, and power. These data are crucial to the rider's decision-making. Whether to continue riding or go home depends entirely on these data.
Ebike display main functions
- Speed display: This is a basic function of all Electric Bicycle displays. It is usually displayed in the middle of the screen with the largest area. Some displays can also switch data according to units.
- Battery level: The general power area is displayed with a progress bar to show the remaining power. It is located at the top of the display screen. The display position varies depending on the brand.
- Riding mode: Generally speaking, you can switch the riding mode directly on the display screen. There will be a dedicated button for switching modes. You can switch modes at will according to different terrains and different modes.
- Mileage record: total mileage, single riding distance and other information, providing data support for each ride
- Some smarter and more advanced screens will also have time information, temperature information, lighting control and other intelligent information on them, so you can get all the information in detail through the screen.
Display type
Generally speaking, Ebike screens are of two types: LCD and LED. Each type of screen has its own advantages and disadvantages. The following is an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the two screens.
LCD Display
Advantage
- More information displayed: The LCD screen will display more detailed information, and will display it through a combination of graphics and text, which looks more intuitive and contains richer information.
- Ebike screen has wider viewing angle: LCD screens usually have a wider viewing angle, so you don’t have to worry about reflections, and you can see a clear display when you look down at different angles.
- High resolution: LCD displays usually have higher resolutions and can display details more clearly.
- Energy saving: LCD is relatively more energy-saving and consumes less power when displaying content for a long time.
Disadvantage
- Update Delay: LCD screens will have greater delays in extreme environments, and the update speed will be slower than in normal conditions.
- Diaplay may reflective: When exposed to strong light, the screen will be difficult to see directly, requiring a brighter screen or an anti-glare screen design.
- Higher price cost: Generally speaking, excellent performance means higher cost, and the display is no exception. LCD display is a high-performance display, so the price cost will be higher.
LED Display
Advantage
- Higher brightness: LEDs usually have higher brightness, so the data is still clearly visible when riding in strong light/during the day.
- Less affected by extreme temperatures: Compared with LCD, LED is less affected by temperature, and its response speed will not be greatly affected in extremely cold or hot environments.
- Easy-to-read cycling data: LED ebike screens usually only have numbers or simple symbols, which are relatively concise and simple. They are suitable for riders who only need basic information and some older riders. This type of screen is also more intuitive and convenient to operate.
- Simple and durable: LED has good anti-impact and anti-vibration effects, and rarely has problems due to bumps and impacts, making it suitable for more complex riding environments.
- Low screen cost: LED Ebike screens are cheap to produce, suitable for more cost-effective ebikes and suitable for most riders
Disadvantage
- Less information displayed: Generally, LED screens can display a small amount of information, only basic information, and cannot display more complex graphics and information.
- LED screens have a narrow viewing angle: riders need to be at a specific angle to see the information on the screen, and sometimes the information cannot be viewed intuitively and comprehensively due to the angle problem.
- Higher power consumption: LED screens have a higher brightness, so they consume more power, and the battery power they consume is higher than that of LCD screens.
Conclusion:
- If you need the information to be displayed on the screen as detailed as possible and pay attention to better aesthetics and visual angles, LCD screen will be your best choice
- If you don't have too much demand for data recording and response speed, LED screen is a good choice.
