Coyote Connect folding e bike

[slowman]

I have just bought a second hand coyote connect folder which is generally in good condition but I have noticed a slight creak from the bottom bracket.There must have been hundreds of these sold over the years and I wondered if any one could give me any advice regarding the availability of spares -oem or otherwise-thanks in advance

Show us a a pic of the BB, but one expects it is a generic part available from any good bike outlet whether in/out of town or the www.
The creak could be anything from a pedal or a crank that needs tightning.

on the drive side there is some sort of plastic washer which has cracked-

The BB is a generic part, It looks to be a std english thread UN68 BB usually square taper. A UN66 socket is required to remove the UN68.
The plactic bit, if one means the end cap on the crank arm then this is not part of the BB unit. If the washer is something else another pic of the item.

I'll get a pic tomorrow-its a large thing as if it screws or pushes on the bb.I notice that the bb is wired up so i think it might be something to do with that

I expect it is the Pedal Assist Sensor (PAS) which has some small magnets intsalled.

yeah thats it was hanging loose and when i tried to see if it would screw back on i managed to crack it and a small piece has dropped of -clumsy i know but it must have been very fragile.Any idea where to get another

Show a pic later so we can see the exact type and connector , what ever type/model most are easy to source as they generic and 3 wires.

Heres a pic-ive stuck it together with araldite so I'll see how long it lasts.btw thanks for your help nealh

One can get them on ebay for about £10 so worth getting one anyway ready for when it breaks again.

 

[slowman]

Thats what i was thinking-its 5 magnet-I'll get the same but i wonder -would the number of magnets make any difference ?

I shouldn't do an 8 or 10 pole disc just means pedal sensing being a bit quicker.
