I just picked up a MP5 with pedelec along with a 52v Luna battery to replace my borked Tidalforce hub on my Montague Paratrooper. Everything is working right now except for the pedal assist.
I'm wondering how far the sensor has to be from the magnets, and if the magnets have to be perfectly centered with the sensor? For some reason my sensor and the magnets do not line up perfectly - the sensor is set out a few mm further so that the magnets on the disc are a bit off center when passing:
Is that the reason why it's not working? The only way I can think of resolving this is drilling the hole that the sensor is sticking through to be larger, then twist it a little so that it is in line with the magnets but wanted to see if that actually would help. The sensor is about 1.5mm away from the magnet disc. I'm pretty sure the disc is installed the right direction, and that the sensor IS working (if I hold a magnet on the disc over the sensor and swipe around in circles, it'll trick the bike into thinking I'm pedaling and the wheel starts spinning)
