Tech Help / DIY ebike conversion
« on: July 03, 2016, 06:57:17 AM »
Hi. IM upgrading my bike to an ebike using a DIY kit. I live in an area that doesn't have anywhere to get this done. I've got it all together and the battery turns on the LED, but I can't get the pedal assist to kick in. I disconnected the brake inhibitor so it's not that.
MAybe it's something obvious...with pedal assist, why do you need a thumb throttle if the motor automatically kicks in when you're pedalling? I turn the battery on and start riding and pedal assist should just kick in correct?
I've asked the seller where I bought it for support but it hasn't helped. It is a front wheel motor hub with PAS. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Lisa
