Short Circuiting or Reverse Polaritizing may cause permanant damage!
should be
Reverse Polarity or Short Circuiting may cause permanant damage!

Makes more sense to swap the two so you don't have to incorrectly suffix polarity.

In instruction #2, "properly" fits in better than "perfectly".

In instruction #10, "your done now" should be "you're done now".

That's all I've noticed, hope I caught it before it went off to the printers!

What's that resistor between +5 V and Pedelec on the controller? I have a 3.18pcb and I don't have that resistor.

Thanks for it !
If the project was to make the max in one A4 page, it's a success !
I think that your customers are wishing more details : one page by operation, in the mounting order, for instance.

But that's a good beginning !

It needs more information on technical specifications of motor, controller and battery. (take ping's battery measurement parameters and use them so we can make an informed choice)

I spent days having to research options on max amps of internal controller and external controller - what the real expected wattage output of the motor actually is and a whole host of other things that are just not on your website. Granted it's far better than ebay sellers who just state 1000w motor, controller, etc.

for example, I have ordered a MP with external controller but I have absolutely no idea which model of controller I'm going to get with the kit. I get the feeling that I get a either 50A or 16A controller or somwhere vaugely in between.

This is a massive implication because it affects everything.
it needs more info for technical people - and an explanation of what AMPS, voltage, watts for newbies actually means and how it affects performance of a MP would be great. - use some of the information in here for a start: http://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/energy/question501.htm

I know it's a user guide but it really needs to be on the website if you're going to educate and inform people why they should be buying your products.
