Hello, I deeply apologize the misspelling, MABMAN! :-[ ;)
Then to my new problem; when connecting the battery and turn on the key, the wheel is spinning like when disconnected.
It is not similar to put on power to a steppermotor at all, if that`s a good comparison...

Svein,

If the motor still tries to run with the brake levers held in, and the battery LEDs lighting have stopped working, then I would say the fault will be somewhere along the black ground wire, as a poor ground connection would cause this exact problem.
Double check that all the joints are good at each connection to the black wire where it links across to each of the other items that share the same common ground. (pedelec, brakes, cruise, LED light supply etc.)

Alan, you were absolutely right! The two black cables in the blue connector on the wheel side had been pulled out of the connector.
I replugged and took my MP-bike for a ride in the night! Great fun!  ;D ;D ;D
Thank you Alan, for your great expertise!!!!

Good to hear your problem is solved Svein. It's surprising how much trouble one failed connection can cause.

But now it's sorted, you can get on with enjoying your Pie! ;)

I thought Id bring this post up a level in the thread.  This is a good alernative to replacing wires.  an excellent suggestion too.

I have had that problem with the MagicPie. It was a broken white wire between the 8 pin connector and the controler inside the pie.
I changed the white with the unused yellow wire.

That's pretty cool.

Make proper use of an unsused wire.

Bring it on
