Changing the number of PAS levels on a Bafang C961 / C965
The C961 offers 3, 5 or 9 levels; the C965 the same plus level 0. It is the PAS item in the basic settings.
Step by step
- Switch on, then hold + and − (up and down on the C961) together for about 2 seconds until the settings screen appears.
- Step through with power until the PAS / Level item flashes (after Wheel Size and Speed Limit).
- Choose 3, 5 or 9 with + / −.
- Continue to Exit and confirm.
- On the riding screen press + until the level stops climbing.
Tip: The C961's bar graph has 9 segments; in 5-level mode it lights 2 segments per level, which confuses new owners but is normal.
Can't find it?
If the item is missing, the OEM fixed it. On BBS01 kits with the C961, 5 levels is the factory default.
Frequently asked
More levels, more power?
No. Top level is the same in all three modes.
Why does level 1 already feel strong?
Controller level table; changed only with the programming cable.
Level 0 on the C961?
The C961 has no level 0 on old firmware; the C965 does.

Still stuck? Take a photo of the display and show it to a local e-bike workshop. Bring the bike's system name (e.g. Bosch Performance Line CX) and the exact code; that saves diagnostic time and money.
