powabyke caution

[electric.mike]

not a problem warning but something for powabyke owners present or future to beware of,as you know the throttle only works when the pedals go round, so i normally sit at road junctions with the power full on and then one good push down on my right pedal gets me across fairly quickly.
today though my pedal was not in the correct position so i spun it backwards, fortunately when the bike tried to shoot forwards i also had the brake on.

That's the pedelec function Mike, the same on all pedelecs that use a multi magnet ring as a rotation indicator, not just Powabyke. The problem as you've found is that the sensor works in either direction.
