I just got this pedal assist sensor, and of course it has no instructions, and I can't find any videos online for this exact one. I assume the piece on the left goes inside the chain ring, and the piece on the right goes on the bottom bracket, with the light facing outward. Is that all there...

Thank you. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with me.

Thank you. Sadly, Johnny Nerdout doesn't sell replacement PAS. Should any new PAS that has the same yellow connector work, or could there be compatibility issues? For example I like the looks of this one...

I got a 500W Bafang Rear Hub-Drive kit recently, and it's mostly been working well. The chain ring was wobbly, and I got some advice at my local bike shop today about how to reinstall the bottom bracket and I got that rock solid. When I put it back together though, the PAS was no longer...

The key position was the issue! It's working great now. Thank you for figuring it out, taking the time to help me, and not writing in a demeaning way. I appreciate this very much.

Thank you. I got this one - https://www.ebay.com/itm/376009867144?var=644818382478 It also says seller pays return shipping. I am going to go to my local bike shop with it to see if the owner has any ideas or can help me figure out what's wrong. I know him well, and he likes getting involved...

Thank you, Harry. The instructions, which are not written well and probably sent through Google Translate, say to have the power switch on when charging. I hadn't noticed that before I charged it overnight. I can't remember if the red light ever went on. There was a fan on initially on the...

I just got this UnitPackPower rack mount battery off of Ebay,. I plugged it in overnight, but not with the power on. I realize now I think I was supposed to leave the power on while charging. Anyway, at this point, if I plug it in to the charger, and press the battery level indicator, it shows...

Thank you! This is very helpful. My first ebike I built was a Bafang with a 750 Watt motor and it always felt like overkill for my needs, but I wanted to check.

I have converted bikes to ebikes before with Bafang motors. I am looking at converting a Specalized Crosstrail with a toseven motor. For my needs I think 500W should be enough but I'd like others opinions. I weigh about 185 pounds, and I will occasionally have up to probably 50 pounds of stuff...

Haha, well it's my friend's bike, but I was the lead on building it, so I can certainly take the blame. :) I'll give that a look when I see him to help him with it.

You rock. Thanks Tom.

Thank you! Much appreciated.

Great, I will help him get those working again. I think the problem was just that the sensors and/or magnet weren't sticking to the brake levers correctly. I guess super glue might be in order. :)

Thank you. I have never heard of that and have had no problems on my bike which has a Bafang mid-drive kit too. (Again, this post is about my friend's bike that I want to help fix for him) What do you do when the overrun happens? Just wait for it to stop? Does using brakes with sensors stop the...
