April 9, 201610 yr fitted the 8Fun kit today. But the speed sensor cable is to short. You can see the unusual mounting point for the mid drive,in front of the front wheel. The sensor will never reach the back and is still short of the front wheel?
April 9, 201610 yr Can't view pics so assume its for the recumbent, as the speed sensor is only 3 wires or maybe 2 easiest option is to splice in a new piece of cable with solder and heat shrink, Thin 3 ore servo wire would work.
April 9, 201610 yr Author Yea Nealh. It's the bent. Splicing is possible but I'd prefer to plug and play. So now to look for the right din set.
April 9, 201610 yr Author Bottom pic is before work. Top pic is motor fitted. But sensor is dangling down in front of forks. Also in aligned with hydraulic brake line.
April 9, 201610 yr Any supplier of the BBS01 should be able to supply an extension lead, my trike is about 1.5m motor to rear wheel sensor mount and 1 extension reached it just. My supplier is no use to you as he is in Oz If you want to use it in the mean time stick a magnet on the front ring and cable tie the sensor close to it, it will work without error codes but with incorrect speed and no speed cut off.
April 9, 201610 yr Matt from EMPowered Cycles supplied me with my new upgraded BBS02 controller with no fuss. He has speed sensor extension cables too: https://www.empoweredcycles.com/collections/8fun-bafang-bbs02-accessories/products/8fun-bafang-bbbs02-mid-drive-motor-electric-bike-kit-speed-sensor-extension-cable Edited April 10, 201610 yr by Fordulike
