Installing Hydraulic Brake Sensors for ebikes 

This is good. I thought that the magnet needs to touch the sensor, but in this instance my brake levers won't give a lot of a gap when pulled. I've still yet to fit my recently bought kit, but this was concerning me. Now I understand to put the magnet right at the point where *(!)* doesn't show up on the display, which gives plenty of space between magnet and sensor when lever is pulled. Thanks for this. This might be the only video that shows this 👍🏻

This made it really simple to wrap my head around how these work, thanks!

This video needs more love, couldn't work out where to put the sensor and magnet until I saw this!

Great video! Thank you this worked perfectly

this really helped me, thank you!

I made a mistake thinking the glue would hold.. If the magnet falls off on a remote ride, you are stuck.. I lightly sanded the lever, cleaned it with alcohol, then use hot glue to stick it in place (checked that everything was in the right position) then i took a piece of shrink wrap to go over the lever and magnet. That insures that if the glue fails, i will still have use of the motor.

Very useful. Good to know the glues you use too. Thank you.

what sensor brand do you use?

what type of sensor is this. where do they sell it and is it a transistor based or mechanical..!! thank you

THX !

Why didn’t you use the same glue for the magnet as you used for the sensor?

Hvorfor er der ingen fodbremse på El cykel med centermotor på

What if your not using a cycle analyst, can I hook that up straight to my controller? Which wired would I need to connect it to? And hope does it work? How does the absence of the magnetic create the cutout that tells the motor to stop?

Thanks

Is the sensor not confused by all the other metal things nearby?

Link to sensors please

Would the work on hope technology brakes?

Can i know what this sensor called ? Where can i purchase it ?

Could the magnet be glued inside the handle?

Is there a better way of doing this. instead of bojing it up ?

I'd prefer to just but these OEM, but none of the best brands make them so I'll stay cable until they do. Jeeze we can put a man on the moon, but 2 years later still can't buy Shimano hydraulic lever with factory sensors.. SMH

Why not drill an M2/M3 hole and attach that magnet with a screw?

This is NOT a hydraulic brake sensor, this is a magnetic sensor, hydraulic would be inline

My bike thinks its braking and it wont give power

i noticed something totally un-related to the topic. You have your brake levers where you get the most stopping force;...on the top portion of the handlebars. That makes a lot of sense. Your body weight will do more than the pulling strength of your fingers in a situation where there is an accident waiting to happen...you need all the braking force possible.
