BAFANG Empowers Smart Cycling Ecosystem: Achieving SeamlessCAN Bus Integration with Terasilic’s Market-Leading Safety Radar

BAFANG, a global leader in electric drive systems, continues to redefine the boundaries of the E-Bike industry by fostering an open and robust ecosystem. Today, BAFANG, in collaboration with Terasilic, a pioneer in millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar technology, proudly announces the successful integration of advanced radar safety features into the BAFANG electric drive platform.

BAFANG: A Global Leader Fostering a Collaborative Ecosystem

As a cornerstone of the global E-Bike industry, BAFANG has built its reputation on high-performance drive systems that power millions of riders worldwide. Central to BAFANG’s success is its commitment to an inclusive ecosystem that welcomes innovative third-party peripherals. By providing a stable and scalable CAN Bus architecture, BAFANG enables industry partners to integrate cutting-edge technologies—such as Terasilic’s safety radar—seamlessly into a unified cycling experience. This collaborative approach ensures that BAFANG-powered E-Bikes are not just vehicles, but intelligent, safety-conscious mobility platforms.

The Path to Integration: A Collaborative Technical Journey

The successful synchronization of Terasilic’s radar with BAFANG’s system was the result of a rigorous, multi-stage engineering partnership. Key milestones in this process included:

• Protocol Alignment & Optimization: Engineering teams from both companies engaged in deep technical discussions to align communication protocols, ensuring that Terasilic’s high-frequency radar data could be transmitted across the BAFANG CAN Bus with zero latency.

• Hardware Validation & Testing: To ensure maximum reliability, BAFANG provided specialized drive system hardware and testing equipment to Terasilic’s R&D center. This allowed for real-world verification of signal integrity and system response, ensuring that the radar functions flawlessly as a native component of the E-Bike's "nervous system."

Terasilic: Defining Safety with 60% Market Share and Functional Safety

Complementing BAFANG’s drive expertise is Terasilic’s dominance in the sensing market. Holding over 60% of the global market share in bicycle radar tail-lights, Terasilic brings unparalleled precision to the BAFANG ecosystem.

Terasilic has completed comprehensive "Functional Safety" R&D, ensuring its mmWave radar delivers professional-grade Rearview Collision Warning (RCW). This integration provides riders with a proactive safety shield that remains stable under extreme conditions, fully compliant with international safety specifications for hardware diagnostics and reliability.

Technical Progress: CAN Bus Integration Completed; HMI Development Underway

The partnership has already achieved its primary technical goals:

• CAN Bus Integration Completed: Terasilic’s radar data is now successfully transmitted via BAFANG’s CAN Bus. This eliminates the need for external wiring and allows for a cleaner, more integrated bike design.

• HMI Display Integration in Progress: The next phase of development is currently underway, focusing on the BAFANG HMI (Human Machine Interface). Soon, riders will receive intuitive, real-time visual alerts directly on their BAFANG display, creating a seamless and distraction-free safety interface.
