I had to get creative with my PAS sensor as well.

Well did 10 miles on the recovered battery (start of thread), starting voltage 41.8, end voltage was 40.6 so not bad really. Pedal assist on all the time and a bit of moderate work from me, but not too shabby. Proving it can be worth while to recover a "dead: battery if you've got the patience...

I have a pin that goes through between the two mounts to stop the battery being slid up. With a padlock through the end of the pin (or round bar) on the new mount. With the original battery I'm probably going to fashion a metal loop attached to the top plate that a cable lock can go through.

The mount is just two bars of tubular aluminium with two thin plates across it (like a ladder) that slots into the powabyke mounts (see earlier) and then i've got a pin that slides in to stop it sliding up out of the slots. The tiny bag was a mistake (for the controller) gets a bit too hot in...

Loving the A2B metro at that price, will need a conversation with the wife!

Stops you accelerating (either by the pedal assist or throttle) when your brakes are pressed, sometimes a single pedal turn can trigger the assist and lurch you forward. Its just a safety feature, worth having for the sake of a few quid.

It may be an inline sensor like one of these. http://www.greenbikekit.com/hidden-wire-brake-sensor.html I know the nano conversions don't usually swap the brake levers out. If it is one of these and it's broken, maybe d8evh could find you a spare at a good price :)

Hi Dawn welcome aboard. Sure you'll get some help on here. Don't leave it disconnected forever though! Replace it at some point, comes in handy.

Batteries tinkered. Time for some test flights when it stops hailing!

I think Dave means where did you buy it from, paste the link in so we can do a little investigation. Some pictures of the pack might help as well.

Nothing that a bit of tea tree oil and easing off the shaving can't fix. And get a gel saddle might help. My wife rides electric and suffers the same and both the above helped.

Great controller and LCD from Dave. Get it set up right and the PAS is very smooth to come in. Had my first ride on my build today and was very impressed. See the build on the "recovering my batteries" thread.

Nearly finished the bike now. Had a test spin today, very smooth ride and the PAS is excellent. Used the recovered battery (after making a mount for it) and all good. Just need a right angled plug for the power as it's too close to the front derailleur. Just need some fine weather to start using...

Have a few different ones to go at, all bottom tube mounts, nothing bigger than a bottle battery, that picture was just an example of the kind of thing I meant.

I have a WEEE cage as well at my NHS Trust, that's where the laptop batteries I have may ..erm come from.

As it's chuffing freezing, would there be any benefit to putting my battery inside one of these to retain a little heat...

That's some heavy duty stuff, looks good though and very well laid out.

Bet it's a Renault Twizy! Hello from West Yorkshire by the way.

Found and ordered some from Hobbyking, £8, so got two!
