Speed Sensor. Two terminals in a flat three terminal shell. Connects to matching connector
on the cadence sensor cable.
Serial Port Interface. Flat 4 terminal connector coming out of controller. Normally uncon-
nected. This is where you can plug in a laptop computer or other device having a serial port and
modify controller settings.
There may be other connectors coming out of your controller as well. These are for future use
and may be safely ignored.
CHECK FRONT DERAILLEUR ADJUSTMENT
Triple chainring version only: Test front derailleur adjustment and adjust as needed. It’s espe-
cially important to adjust the derailleur so it doesn’t over shift on the big ring and drop the bike
chain onto the motor chain. The inner guard provides some protection against this, but adjust
properly anyway.
If you don’t know how to adjust your derailleur you can ask your local bike shop to do it, or go

on the Park Tool Company web site for an excellent how-to article on front derailleur adjust-
ment.
FINISH UP AND TEST
With the rear wheel suspended off of the ground, turn on the battery pack switch and press the
throttle to test the system. Run the bike through all of the gears to make sure the derailleur is
properly adjusted. Look at the motor chain and verify that it is running smoothly. Make sure
that all wires are out of the way of all moving parts. Make sure axle bolts or skewers are tight
Proper adjustment of the gears and making sure that the rear cassette and bearings are in good
shape is especially critical given the extra load the drive train will be subjected to. Also, check
that the rear axle skewer or bolts are fully tightened. Axle bolts should be torqued to about 20
ft-lbs (28 Nm). Skewers should be as tight as you can comfortably make them. It is possible for
the motor to pull the axle right out of the dropouts if they are loose.
Road test. Run through all the gears making sure they are shifting smoothly. Test full throttle
in each gear to check for skipping of the drive chain. Keep speeds low at first until you’re sure
that everything is functioning properly and you become familiar with riding with the motor
assist. Be sure to always start off in a reasonably low gear (“low” means easy to pedal without
the motor being on). Starting in a high gear strains the controller and may cause its stall detec-
tion feature to shut it off for self protection.
