Hi all,
I bought a 2nd hand ebike which had a 24V battery (I don't remember if it was lead or lithium), some years ago. I converted it to 10s lithium a while back and it worked great but much too fast for my needs (the bike could go at 38 kph if I pedalled enough). I bought a CycleAnalyst V2 in the hope that I could limit the speed of the motor. Unfortunately, whatever the changes I made in the CA settings, they didn't do anything (whether it was Max amps or max speed). Oh, and I forgot to say I added a CA-compatible plug to my generic controller thanks to this page:
How To Add A Cycle Analyst Connector To A Controller (thank you very much to the author)
The CA sees the battery voltage and bike speed so I figure the plug works.
As I said above, the controller doesn't seem to take into account what the CA tells it to do (I think it's normal at this stage).
Since I don't want to buy a CA v3 (these beasts are quite expensive and I do want to use the CA v2 I have), I thought about disconnecting the PAS connector on the controller and fit a throttle to the CA. That would probably work (I haven't tried), but would be tedious.
So before going this route, can anyone confirm I won't be able to use the ebike PAS (cadence PAS) with my CA v2 ? Thank you very much
