hi pedicab....thanks for the email, sorry been busy today

well this post should keep you learning for the next 6 months, like when we all started....where are you based ?

thats the great thing about this forum, you got Bikemad and Monkey and a wealth of others to push that snowball down the hill :)

and as always, someone has to do it.....ditch the throttle, aim for home,and get one of these ( red light incompatible)

I was thinking that a simple brake latch circuit would work.

Every time the wheel rotates it pulses a switch that
charges a capacitor. 

As long as the wheel is spinning the capacitor stays charged.
The relay would drain it, but if the wheel is spinning it would
charge faster than it drains.

The charged capacitor holds a relay on.
The normally closed relay is connected to the brake
switch (parallel so the brake switch works too.)

The down side to the whole thing is that it will drain the battery
while running.

Hi Guys,

Thank you very much to all of you. I am really glad lucky to find this wonderful online community. Again I would like to thank you all for taking time to provide answer to my question.

I am based in the UK but the motors are used in Netherlands. Do you know anyone who can help me with carrying out the work of one of these solutions in the UK or Netherlands? At least showing how to do one of them so I can replicate on the rest of the motors?

Thank you in advance

Bill

Tell you what, what is it you are trying to achieve with the system, is it for safety or something else in mind ?
