Got a weird problem. Seems like crank axis has shifted to right side?

I've not got one, so this may be incorrect, could it be as simple as a plastic cover on the left hand case being dislocated?

Never mind the sideways shift, how do you pedal with both the pedals at the same position (not 180 deg apart).

Looks very, very wrong to me. Cranks don't appear to be on same axis at all. Look at the angles.

And this is a new replacement motor I've got from bosch. Made just 200km on it. ;(

Clearly 2 photos joined together Wander ;)

The ISIS axle is actually floating, there is a circlip on each side. Worth centering with a mallet and checking for the circlip on one side. As although I have never come across this before, it could be missing.

Then again you could speak to your dealer, that's what they are there for!

Can't imagine how one can bend that crank. Thanks for the info on how it should be though. There are no weird feelings just the sound and I don't really like a crank hitting the motor in a 5k pounds bike ;)
I've had sooo many surprises with this bike so far.
