I fully undersood that. Did you check the sensor or are you happy to carry on complaining?

 

Woah there, buddy. Wind your neck in.

 

You really don't seem to get what I mean either.

 

I'd rather you refrained from "helping" any further. I shall refrain from calling you what I'd like to call you.

What vfr400 has stated is correct in terms of how the PAS operates on my kit. My (12 magnet) PAS only needs a 90 degree rotation of the cranks to start working and it will keep the motor engaged even if the cranks are being rotated at a very slow rpm.

 

I'm far from being an expert on e-bikes, but if you are having to pedal at a high rate to get the motor to engage, then it sounds like there is an issue with the PAS or the controller.

Do you want to call VFR400 a taxi? Having to pedal fast on for a cadence PAS, for it to start assisting seems awry - I'd be horribly disappointed with a PA system, that only provided assistance when I pedalled fast! Who designs a PAS system to operate like that? Mine takes two turns of the rear wheel to kick in - but if you're happy with how your bike currently works, there's nothing more to be said about your PAS.

Decent controllers like the KT and a correctly mounted and set up pedal sensor is very responsive /instant in operation.

I quite often find that the magnet disc can get knocked on things and get twisted as it is quite exposed, so turn the crank a full revolution and see that it is the same distance away throughout and try and get the gap to the sensor to be as small as possible without touching.

 

On my controller there is an "aggressiveness setting" which controls how quickly the power is ramped when the PAS rotates. Could be something similar on your controller if the magnet disc/sensor are in order.

To change a bike cassette, you can easily remove the rear wheel or the bike wheel with the cassette with the following steps: Start by turning your bicycle gear to its hardest gear or the smallest cog. This will help the wheel come off easily since the chain won’t get caught when pulling the wheel out. You may also want to loosen your brakes slightly to allow more room during the removal, giving you more leverage to work with.

You should be able to release the brake cable enough by popping it out of the adjustment screw at the lever end. Screw the adjuster fully in, line up the slot, put brake hard on, as you release pull the cable out and out of the slot in the adjuster. Presuming you have rim brakes.
