You need a torque arm for that motor. Did you get one with the kit? If not. here:

d8veh, the hub kit has a new 6-fet controller 17A. It's not as brutal as the one on the Big Bear. You won't break the dropout but there is no harm in installing them.

is the cables waterproof could i run them down next to battery tray or underneath next to other cable

 

[Woosh]

I usually run the waterproof cable next to the existing cable, under the top tube. I think it looks neater.
I tuck the excess cable inside a large heat shrink tube and cabletie the heat shrink tube to the seat tube.

 

[johny]

this look ok and bring it up and under crank housing

 

[Woosh]

that looks very neat, johny.

 

[johny]

this look ok next to brake cable

 

[Woosh]

I usually run to motor cable below the chain stay but your way is equally good.

The speed sensor head looks good - it could do with a second cabletie (to tie the sensor cable to the chain stay) to be on the safe side.

Check later that you see the LED on the speed sensor flash each time the magnet passes over it.

 

[johny]

yes not finished yet just wanted to check gap was ok im using spare thin cable ties i had lying around il go round putting cable ties you gave me once it up and running

fitted sensor and disk the magnets in disk are to low for the sensor it looks

BPM motor + 17 amps + Aluminium frame = torque arm required in my reckoning.

there is an LED on the pedal sensor.
Height-wise on the seat tube, I can't see from your picture.
If you think it's too low, move the sensor up a bit.
As long as the magnets pass in front of the sensor, the LED should flash.
I am a bit worried that the head is too far away from the disc though.
Later, if the LED on the sensor does not flash when you rotate the cranks, I may have to make a spacer for you to bring the sensor nearer.

 

[johny]

no the sensor is as low as it can go and the magnets still below the sensor

 

[Woosh]

no the sensor is as low as it can go and the magnets still below the sensor

I understand now.
I will make a new spacer with vertical adjustment just in case the magnets are not close enough to flash the LED.
I will send you the new spacer on Monday. In the mean time, it the magnets are not close enough, you can still ride the bike on throttle.

 

[Woosh]

no the sensor is as low as it can go and the magnets still below the sensor

Just to confirm, when a magnet is vertically in front of the sensor head (which is in the middle of the sensor block), how far is roughly the distance between the middle of the magnet and the middle of the sensor block?

If you can post a picture like this one, I can estimate it myself:

 

[johny]

is this ok and ive noticed my pedal not going on properly il need to file doen the fins slightly so the disk fits on bit more
