What the dongle is good for

ACCESS THE
CONTROLLER.

The adapter does not create extra motor power. It provides wireless access to supported FarDriver controller settings and live information through the FarDriver app.

CONTROL

Speed limits & modes

View or adjust supported speed-limit and riding-mode parameters when your exact controller allows it.

FEEL

Throttle response

Compatible controllers may expose throttle sensitivity or response settings. Small, documented changes matter.

BRAKING

Regenerative braking

Review supported regen behavior without confusing it with the bike's mechanical brake performance.

DIAGNOSE

Live controller data

Monitor available voltage, current, temperature and fault information while setting up or troubleshooting.

Check before ordering

THE FRAME NAME
IS NOT ENOUGH.

The controller and connector decide compatibility. The linked Amazon listing names newer FarDriver/Nanjing controllers manufactured after July 2022. Different production runs of the same bike can use different electronics.

LISTED COMPATIBILITY
  • Yozma IN10 with a compatible FarDriver controller
  • Tuttio Soleil 01 with a compatible FarDriver controller
  • Heybike Villain with a compatible FarDriver controller
  • Other bikes only after matching controller model and plug
Before buying

Photograph the controller label and programming plug. Compare both with the Amazon listing or ask the seller to confirm. Do not assume every IN10, Soleil 01 or Villain production run is identical.

Connection walkthrough

HOW TO CONNECT
THE DONGLE.

Work slowly and keep the bike powered off whenever you connect or disconnect wiring. If the plug does not match or seat easily, stop.

  1. 01

    Confirm the controller

    Read the controller label. It must be a supported FarDriver/Nanjing controller generation with the matching programming connector. Compatibility follows the controller—not the logo on the frame.

  2. 02

    Power everything down

    Switch the bike off, remove the key and disconnect the battery when the bike design allows it. Never plug or unplug a programming dongle while the controller is powered.

  3. 03

    Reach the controller harness

    Remove only the cover needed to access the controller. On supported layouts, look for the dedicated matching programming connector—often a small white or four-wire plug. Do not cut, splice or guess.

  4. 04

    Connect without forcing it

    Check pin orientation, align the connectors and press them together gently. Secure the bike before powering on, with the driven wheel clear of the ground and the throttle untouched.

  5. 05

    Pair with the FarDriver app

    Enable Bluetooth, open the official FarDriver app and stay close to the bike. Power on and scan for the controller. Use FarDriver's official download page or your controller seller's verified link for the app.

  6. 06

    Save the factory baseline

    Before editing, screenshot every parameter page and record controller model and firmware. There may be no simple factory-reset button, so these records are your restore point.

  7. 07

    Change one supported setting

    Use only a value documented for your exact controller, battery, BMS and motor. Save one change at a time. Never paste a stranger's complete tune or raise current, voltage or field-weakening values blindly.

  8. 08

    Power off, disconnect and test

    After saving, power off before removing the adapter. Refit the cover, first test at very low speed, then use a closed private area. Stop for heat, unusual noise, fault codes, rough throttle or abnormal braking.

Speed-limit guidance

HOW TO “UNLOCK”
RESPONSIBLY.

“Unlock” usually means changing an available speed-limit or riding-mode setting—not magically adding power. The exact menu and safe value vary by controller firmware, motor, battery and region. Use only a bike-specific value confirmed by the manufacturer, seller or a qualified FarDriver tuner.

Do not change advanced motor parameters to chase a number. FarDriver warns that excessive current or field weakening can greatly increase the chance of controller damage. More speed also means less range, more heat, faster tire and brake wear, and a longer stopping distance.

LOWER RISK

Documented speed-limit or mode changes, one small step at a time, with a complete factory backup.

EXPERT ONLY

Battery current, phase current, rated voltage, field weakening, FOC, Hall or motor-identification parameters.

LEGAL & SAFETY CHECK

Changing assisted speed or power can make an electric bike illegal on public roads, invalidate insurance or warranty coverage, and exceed the design limits of its brakes, tires, frame, battery or motor. Check the rules where you ride. Use modified settings only where legal—normally private property or designated off-road areas—and always wear appropriate protective equipment.

Search questions answered

FARDRIVER
DONGLE FAQ.

Does this dongle work with every Yozma, Tuttio or Heybike?+

No. Compatibility follows the controller, not only the bike name. The Amazon listing specifies newer FarDriver or Nanjing controllers made after July 2022 and names the Yozma IN10, Tuttio Soleil 01 and Heybike Villain. Check the controller label, connector and seller guidance before buying.

Does a FarDriver dongle add power by itself?+

No. It gives a compatible phone access to supported controller settings and live data. Any change in speed, response or regenerative braking comes from a saved controller setting and remains limited by the battery, BMS, controller, motor, gearing and temperature.

Can I unlock the top speed with it?+

A compatible FarDriver controller may expose speed-limit and riding-mode settings, but there is no safe universal value for every bike. Use only a setting confirmed for your exact controller, battery and motor. Higher assisted speed may be illegal on public roads and can reduce range, increase heat and void warranty coverage.

Should the Bluetooth dongle stay connected while riding?+

Power the bike off before connecting or disconnecting it. Some bikes may show an error or behave differently with a programming module attached, so disconnect it after saving unless the controller or dongle instructions explicitly say it may remain installed.

What should I save before changing a setting?+

Screenshot every factory parameter page and record the controller model and firmware. The screenshots are your restore reference. Change one documented value at a time and never copy a complete tune from a different battery, controller or motor.
