Strongly agree with vfr400.The front wheel needs to be securely held. I knew a boy whose front wheel fell out and he fell onto one of the handlebar ends which was pointing upwards. He punctured his abdomen causing internal injuries.

Thanks for that. At the motor hub the connector has 6 pins, 3 bigger pins and 3 smaller ones. Does that limit the choice/availability of controllers? I think there is a spare Julet connector tucked away under the controller. So I assume that is an unused PAS connector. If I buy an add on PAS sensor does it matter how many magnets - I see some Bafang ones on eBay with 12 magnets? The Sparticle display does not have any menu or settings except on/off and power level 1 to 8 and 0. The thumb throttle only works on 0. So I don't think I can change settings like number of magnets.

As a newbie I would be very grateful for help with Search. When I do a search, I get lots of results but none of them are live links so I can't click on them and read about what was posted - what am I doing wrong? !

Hi, I have only ridden non-electric up to now but I did convert my partner's Dawes Discovery 201 with a front hub kit from eBay several years ago. My own bike is a Dawes Galaxy and I really like it. I have just bought another Dawes Galaxy with a Sparticle front hub conversion fitted by an Electris Bike shop in Bristol. It has a Sparticle badged Bafang motor but it is hard to get information about Sparticle kit. It only has a thumb throttle and I am trying to find out if I can make it a true pedelec with a PAS. The motor control has lots of heat shrink over the wiring which is neat but makes it hard to know what connections are available. I am hoping I can find some information and advice on this site. Cheers to all.
