Pedelec problems
« on: March 04, 2015, 04:05:27 PM »
Hi !! Try to install a new MP4. but the pedelec not work. The three-wire (black,red,green) connector is in  correct position . The tension of the red and black wires is 4.34 v ,
The battery voltage is 38.9 V and testing it without pedelec has a lot of power and it works great but in Europe we are forced to install the pedelec.
Thanks for your help!!

I don't know how old your MP4 controller is but some of the very early vector controllers did not support pedelec.  :(

Try increasing the "(PAS Ratio ( 0.1 times )" setting to 50 and see if it makes any difference, and also try pedalling backwards to see if you get any response. This can sometimes happen when the magnet ring has been fitted with the arrow facing the wrong direction.
If it responds when you pedal backwards, you will need to turn the magnet ring around so it rotates in the right direction.
On my original Magic Pie I seem to recall it only responded to one side of the magnet ring and only in one direction, which meant it had to be swapped to the other side of the bottom bracket for it to work correctly.

With the power turned off, unplug the BAC-601 Display unit and see if it makes any difference.
(My pedelec still worked at a fixed level without the display unit connected)

If there is no response whatsoever, you may need to email David at Golden Motor in China and see if he can help.

P.S. It makes a change to see some substantial torque arms which should definitely prevent the axle from spinning in the dropouts.  ;)

Hi again!

Magic MP4 received a week ago and I've done all the suggested tests and some more without getting any results .
I do not understand how this company sell a MP4 with PAS and BAC 601 and not work .
It's a shame you can not use this wonderful engine with the European laws without PAS .
I will try to get a controller with PAS support ....

Thank you very much for your help.
