Does your new one have the torque sensor in the bottom bracket or does it have the big thick chainwheel with the torque sensor in the back?

I think it's in the bottom bracket

We need to be sure.

I'm only guessing there is a plate at bottom by the pedals with screws in

There's no thick chain that I can see?

It's not the chain that's thick, rather the chainwheel because most have the torque sensor mechanism in it. A normal chainwheel is just a big cogwheel with the pedal arm attached in the centre.

Takes some photos if you're not sure.

That's for the motor controller.

That's enough, thanks. The photo shows that both bikes have the later BB torque sensor. That system is more difficult to deal with on a DIY basis. Everything is sealed and you need specific diagnostic equipment to figure out what's going on, and I doubt that even Halfords have that or understand how to use it.

All I can suggest is that there's normally a self-calibration procedure at start up. If anything touches the pedals at that time, it can mess up the setting, so make sure that everything is clear of the pedals when you switch on.
