I recently purchased a BBSHD kit and wolfpack battery (from Luna). I installed them on my Fuji Traverse last weekend.
I road the bike to work today (about 8 miles). It worked great at first, but then problems.
1. The throttle only works sometimes. More than 1/2 the time it doesn't. Whether the bike is moving, and/or I'm pedaling, doesn't seem to be a factor.
2. The pedal assist cuts out frequently. Shifting gears will cause it to reengage about 3/4 of the time. The remaining times (when it wouldn't re-engage) I stopped, walked the bike for a bit, and then it 'magically' came back (only to die again shortly thereafter). I do have a shift sensor and brake cut offs installed.
I have pulled apart and re-attached all the connections. That doesn't seem to help.
I rode to work in a light rain. Could the moisture be a problem? If so, the bike is now junk, as I built it to ride as a daily commuter. I live and work in Oregon. It tends to rain here.
Is this all 'normal' for these kits, or should I simply resign myself to the fact that I have been taken advantage of?
