LOL - i just hope not as I have paid for 2 kits! However everything has gone very quiet!

The first batch of the Swytch conversion kit is due in April. Has anyone received one yet?

Hi Woosh, I have been looking at your excellent website. I have friends that are looking at buying electric bikes and I will pass on to them. My disc needs a 45mm cutout and it might be easier to buy one of yours if that is possible. I like the way that you have tied on the disc with cable ties. As regards my sensor, you have the KT-D12L in your photographs with the kit and with the Higo connector. I was expecting that i would need the KT-D12R with a Higo connector. How do you get a sensor that works the right way around? Thanks Mike

I have bought the KT-D12L to check it out before the main kit as I was concerned that it would not fit on my Koga Signature bike - it would fit on a much older bike with a square taper BB. I will upload the sensor head which is inscribed KT-D12L

You are right that I don't yet have the kit but I want to be ready to install on my bike when it arrives. There seems to be something wrong with your answer though I am sure that you are trying to be helpful 1. If i can can take the magnets out and re-insert them then that is no different to flipping the whole disc 2. If I use the KT-D12L and pedal backward then the motor would start on the front wheel and would go forwards 3. I doubt that flipping the sensor would work as it must be within 5mm of the disc Thanks though

Thanks for your reply. So I think that the only way is to buy a KT-D12R and to add on a 3-pin Higo connector if it is not possible to buy a KT-D12R with a Higo connector. Please confirm.

I have mounted absolutely none! However if I turn the disc around so that the magnetic side faces the sensor then it would look like the bike was going backwards. The sensor has to be less than 5mm from the disc so can only be mounted on the left of the disc. All the disc is doing is to provide 12 magnets and no intelligence is built into it. I think that one way would be to cut the wire to the Higo connector and to change around the 3 wires.

I doubt that it is that easy. One side of the disc is much more magnetised than the other. The sensor would detect it going backwards and the motor would not start

It comes in a kit based upon the disc being fitted on a square taper BB on the left hand side of the bike. The sensor is KT-D12L I believe that it should be quite possible to fit the KT-D12R but I will need to switch to a 3 pin Higo connector

The Swytch controller has to have a 3 pin Higo connector. The only controller that has this connector is the KT-D12L I believe See https://www.pandaebikes.com/shop/conversion-kits/road-legal/swytch-ebike-conversion-kit-bike/

Thanks for your help & I can see how to 'dremel' out the disc. However the sensor connects by 3-pin Higo connector to the controller at the handlebar. I don't think that it is possible to buy a KT-D12R with a Higo connector - I have searched. I have found a KT-D12R with a 3 pin JST SM connector. So my solution would be: I could buy a KT-D12R sensor from eBay with a 3 pin male JST-SM connector https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272864678672?ViewItem=&item=272864678672 Then cut off the JST SM connector. Then cut the KT-D12L lead with the Higo male end (which I have bought) to 2 inches. Join up the two ends with solder See http://e-bike-marke-eigenbau.de/index.php/en/connect-cables-by-soldering/knots-preparing-the-cable-ends This should work - any better solution? Thanks Mike

I have ordered a Swytch conversion for my Koga hub gear belt-driven bike. The bike does not have a square taper bottom bracket which would make it easy to fit a PAS system -a KT-D12L with a higo connector push-fit /waterproof type. I have checked with my local bike shop and they say that there are two ways to go ahead: 1 Change over the BB to a square taper BB but they say that this would be a retrograde step, and it would be expensive. 2 Attach the disc with the 12 magnets to the "Belt-Ring". I would need to cut out the centre of the disc - my local bike shop told me of possible places to have it cut out. It would then be screwed onto the "Belt-Ring". However I would need to switch to a KT-D12R conversion kit. I have found one possible supplier - www.e-go-trips.co.uk. I have sent them an email. Does anyone know where else I might get one? It must have the 3 pin higo connector. Thankyou Mike

I have been watching Youtubes so I could understand BB more. I think my type is a Truvative Howitzer type and I can't see how I could het a PAS disc to fit. However the PAS disc could be superglued to the inside of the belt crank but I would need to put a hole 5cm wide in the PAS disc. Is that possible? I have seen PAS discs that are 3 inches in diameter. What is a PAS disc made from? Are there wider PAS discs?
