How it started

These photos show the latest version of the S866 Display Cover, its design was a journey over many iterations. Originally the concept was to provide a place to hang a microphone onto the bottom of the display, it was just an open frame with some elastic cord.

Some e-bike owners were complaining that their S866 display was getting water inside and fogging up, so the design was adapted to include a soft front screen. The various iterations are shown below.

Original open frame in hard plastic

We tried to print a soft cover but could never get the necessary clarity

So a PVC window was added

Version 1 with a soft plastic frame with the PVC window

Version 2 with the window inserted from back

Version 2 with a soft plastic frame that could hold itself in-place

Version 3 with the window bonded to front and covered with an outer bezel
