Pedelec sensor not recommended

After some trials with the Pedelec sensor, I do not recommend it (at least the one I tried).

I found two main drawbacks:

- First of all, it's not a progressive system. I thought that the faster you pedaled the more power the motor would supply. But, it's not like this. If you move the pedals (no matter how slow), you have full power from the beginning (there is a 1 second delay). If you stop pedalling, the motor stops completely (with a 2 second delay). This is not a good thing when it comes to comfort and battery life.

- It takes about 2 seconds for the motor to stop once you have stopped pedaling. This is really dangerous with a 1KW motor. It has some delay (about 1 second) when starting pedaling, too, but this is not really a problem (you get use to it easily).

To sum up, I was really disappointed with the Pedelec system. It needs lots of improvements (we may develop our own Pedelec system in the future).
