Crank arm wireless cadence sensor solution?

[ezryder]

Hello,

As my first post in this community I would like to ask about a question to which I simply could not find an answer:

Is there any way to buy a wireless cadence sensor for ebike like for example Vekkit brand uses in their conversion kits and one other brand too,
or does it require DIY parts, if yes, are there any suggestions which components I would need and where to buy them.

Wireless cadence sensors are readily available for normal bikes but I believe those can't be used just like that?

thanks a lot for any advice

the traditional pedal sensor that fits between the chainring and bottom bracket is difficult to beat. It is simple, sensitive, reliable and usually fit and forget. It does not have moving part which is a big plus.

Thanks for your reply Woosh!

can you recommend which is the best one in traditional style? I guess the 12 magnet round version?

Of course a 12 magnet disc is twice as sensitive as a 6 magnet disc but the choice depends on how the controller was programmed.
I like simple, solid discs that don't catch mud.
