Material received

On Thursday July 23th, we have received the kit: rear wheel (26'') with electric motor and 5 gears, 2 controllers (regular and regenerative), thumb throttle, pedelec sensor, brake levers, and a bag to carry the battery and the controller).
It has taken 10 days. Not bad.
Everything seemed to be in perfect condition, but when we have started assembling the components, we have had two problems. One is a small issue, but the other one is a show-stopper:

• The rear wheel, when mounted, was not exactly centered. It was slightly shifted to the left (the gears are on the right hand side), so it was not possible to mount the rear brake (the left pad was always in contact with the wheel). We have been able to solve this problem (at least partially) by smooting out the hole that holds the wheel axis.
• The big problem is that there is something wrong with the gear bearings: the gears are stuck to the wheel. So, the only way to ride the bike is not to stop pedalling (not very nice in an electric bike, by the way). We need now an special tool to disassemble the gears... Damn!
