No Pedal Assist
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hello, I’m 14 years old and Ibought this ebike as a DIY project a few months back. I determined that the controller was faulty and I ordered a new one. When it arrived i hooked it up to test as shown in the video. The kit included the controller, a screen and a new PAS sensor. When I tested everything the wheel started spinning by itself and when pedaling there was not a difference (same when tested on road). When I change the assist to the second option the motor starts spinning a bit faster by itself. I suspect it has something to do with the 6KM/H button on the display. I sctually got the spinning to stop earlier when testing on the road. You could hear the motor spinning but wheel not turning. I can’t get it to happen again. Could that be a lead?
It feels like a simple issue. I suspect that I need to install the PAS sensor included in the kit but I’m unsure if it works with my bike. There is also a 3 pin wire that comes from the thick motor cable that has nowhere to plug in in the new controller (see video).
Thanks for the help!
