Brake sensors are just simple sensors sensitive to magnetic fields, you glue one to the static part of your brake lever assembly, and on the lever itself next to the sensor you glue a magnet, pulling the brake moves the magnet away from the sensor and triggers the controller (when plugged in)...

Hope im wrong, but dbl check you have cover away from your home and its not just covered at home locked up in the garage/shed.. I had a similar low quote from my home insurer but for away from home cover it was extra..

Ball park motor (£150) KT brand Controller + display (Upto £100) Brake sensors (£20-30) throttle (£10+) leads (£30+) Battery £250-600+? depending on range requirements cable ties epoxy heat shrink, spiral wrap etc (£25?) And a fair bit of bodging but the cycle style of the chair pictured...

+1 on the spiral wrap.. 90 cm lengths via ali express are dirt cheap too. longer lengths are a pita to wrap/unwrap, BUT YOU CAN and the re-wrap is just as neat as the original.. just take your timer a twist is easy to introduce and wii require backtracking to the point of error.

Wanting to 'own' stuff you buy needs no qualification ..

Sums it up pretty much as i see it.. My bike was nothing special pre kit although it suited me, the kit cost significantly more than the bike, For local 10 minute stops i pull the battery and lock with a good standard D lock (not the best tho) thru frame wheel and anchor point. for the city...

Only when drinking too much and browsing in solitude late at night ( so frequently..).. this forum could use a devil emoticon within easy reach Cat meet these pigeons TTFN.

Is it a new bike with a warranty etc? if so you may wish to hold off as any mods could invalidate your guarantee etc.. If brand new and you need more speed return it and buy a more suitable bike. Your pics indicate the controller talks to the battery via the canbus protocol which could...

look at the 1/2 grip throttles too perhaps they also allow easy fitting of end of bar mirrors. be mindful tho that end of bar mirrors can pop off with a slight graze so buy cheap and buy a few.. my nice expensive 'oxford' branded version lasted a day.. ali express specials (check the 1.99...

I have not read/heard a single good thing about halfords after sales service, Woosh and Wisper have very loyal customers who post in here.. worth a look see and probably a phone call imho ;)

Is your chain too long, try removing a link and check you can access all gears?

and 25-30 would be safe on a clear 5m wide cycle track with the occasional oncoming cyclist or vacant clear straight stretch of footpath too imho I think its safe to assume not all riders of bikes capable of higher speeds are inconsiderate dicks I will accept some are.. ive seen video...

Im a strong believer in ' if it aint broke dont fix it', unless your 100% confident in the dis/re-assembly procedures.. threadlocking the disk brake screws was the only waterproofing/weatherproofing advice given to me for a new kit install..

You need a new controller/display combo that has not been loaded with hobbled f/w topbikekit stock similar under the battery slide KT-controllers with full control over all parameters or if available still the yose-power 350w kit controller and display were sold as yose accessories.

I would probably err towards new forks, with suspension.. but if the budget jar is empty after getting the bike,,, drilling and chopping out the back of the slot is your only option, it will weaken the metal since your removing some but i doubt it will be significant enough. Perhaps a scan of...

carrying too much on the front (mass) can have a negative impact on steering creating a strong bias as soon as you leave the straight ahead path.. (see profile pic) For lights etc amazon/ebay/aliexpress etc or your local bike shop can sell you an accessories bar to bolt onto your handle bars...

with no brake sensors or throttle fitted that only leaves the pas sensor to connect with 3 wires. if snagged (see above) check and perhaps post pics of your pas sensor, has the magnet ring moved?

Whats at each end of the connectors that came apart? if caught and snagged the sensor may have been dislodged?

If your crank is 16-17mm in diameter the cheapest type should be ok, This type will fit a standard bottom bracket and can be fitted either side. NOT recommended sellers just google links with pictures

Sorry I misunderstood, and though you had the kit and were looking for aid in setting up. If you can source a suitably sized hub motor and wheel, (see above?) . the suggested seller 'topbikekit' will be able to provide everything else. as will ebay and amazon if you dont mind paying the...
