Just installed my 250W/500W kit and have integrated gear/brake levers on my 7 speed hybrid so can't install the brake levers/sensors that come with the kit to cut off the motor.
FIRST QUESTION!
I rode the bike for about 30 mins and can't really see the need for the brake sensors. When I need to brake, I naturally stop pedalling and the motor safely cuts out. I am guessing in an emergency I grab the brakes, but will always stop pedalling as a natural reaction. Am I missing something? Or is this just a safety add on that people don't install?
SECOND QUESTION
Because of my integrated 7 speed gear selectors the thumb throttle stops them from dropping down a gear as they are "thumb/index finger" controlled. I would like to replace the selectors so they are 'thumb only' and the up/down selectors are mounted underneath. Can I buy these separately or do I have to replace my rear gear deralier to match?
