Installing the Pedelec sensor


Thumb throttle works perfectly.



Now, we want to try the Electrical assisted pedaling using the Pedelec sensor.

It consists of a disk with 5 magnets and a sensor to detect the movement.












I was not able to remove the pedal until I used an extractor.















The sensor (with the plastic side looking outwards) is fixed with the shaft nut (which needs to be removed first).









Then the disk with the magnets is inserted in the axle. But, surprisingly, the sensor detects the direction of the movement, so the disk has to be inserted as in the picture below. Be careful with this, otherwise, the motor will start only if you pedal backwards (which is funny, by the way).

































Finally a picture of the sensor and disk properly installed.
