I am trying to install a new voilamart 1000w hub motor for a friend. I have installed the wheel, throttle and battery and have connected them to the controller. The kit comes with a crank movement sensor but I was hoping for simplicity to have the motor controlled by the throttle regardless of pedaling. But without the crank movement sensor installed, when I twist the throttle the motor simply moves at a snail's pace, regardless of how far I twist it. Is there a way to get the bike to only be throttle activated?

Hi Stu,

Check that the rear wheel spins freely with no throttle whilst off the ground.

Thanks guys for your suggestions. I figured it out. You have to have the pedal sensor plugged in but you don't have to use it.
