Brompton electric kit install issues and work around 

Hello, i would hope so, though I sold it last year for money towards a Brompton superlight as felt guilty not peddling 😊..

@@anticat900 @anticat900 Haha, i wouldve bought it if i knew you were selling! I'm in the process of doing a diy electric brompton. I was wondering if you can help me with a few questions: 1. Can i ask where you got your kit? Ove found one in China but unsure of import costs. 2. Do you remember your PAS sensor model? Did you remove the bottom bracket to put the silver ring on first, then the magnet disc and then the crank? 3. How did you go about with the battery mount? Does it automatically connect when you mount the bag to the front carrier block, or did you have to manually connect the cable? 4. Did you end up using the Brake lever cut-off switch in the end - or was it not needed? Apologies for bombarding you with all these questions! I hope you can help. Thank you.

@@dval2437 hello, I nearly went for the switch kit, but in the end went for a likely Chinese kit on eBay which was alot less. It did work great however, but some fiddling to get the increased amount of cabling needed and to allow it to still fold. I took off the crank and put the sensor on, but with hindsight put it on the wrong side, where it still worked but was an alot tighter to fit. My kit came with options of crank sensor, power lever and brake levers. I went with the crank and handlebar lever, the brakes were poor quality compared to the Brompton ones and not needed anyway, as you don't tend to peddle when pressing the brakes too? I bought a smaller bag and clamped it to the front bag holder, this was tidy and very compact, but couldn't be removed easily, as unlike the switch kit, there are multiple cables to disconnect, so go for the switch kit if you will want to remove the battery quickly. Over all it worked great, just felt a bit guilty riding it as it was so easy, just select the amount of peddle assistance you want and go, or just push the handle bar power lever for even more of a boost. Having said that I'm now selling by replacement Brompton for a electric mountain bike 🙂
