I have a Bafang 500w geared rear hub drive. I swapped out the stock controller and display supplied with the kit to a KT 22A controller and a KT LCD8H display. Everything works great except the speedometer. When I stop pedaling, the speedometer drops to 0.0 when coasting at low speed, or registers 49.6mph when coasting at higher speeds. When I start pedaling the correct speed is displayed once again. This also impacts the odometer since the correct speed is not being recorded all the time.
From what I have read, I would need to connect an external speed sensor to allow the bikes speed to be recorded and displayed correctly when not pedaling. MY controller has the waterproof typed connectors, but there is no wire to connect a speed sensor. Is there a simple way to connect a sensor without having to disassemble the controller and start splicing in wires? Would a speed sensor even work with my KT controller?
