Hello to everyone! This is my first post on this forum. Actually I just wanted to ask anyone about adjusting electric powered bike assist while pedaling.
Because powered bicycles in our country is very much not yet popular, I guess, no one here has the idea on how to work these things.
My cousin a few months sent me an electric powered bicycle from China. I was impressed with its performance. But of course, I cannot deny that because I am new to these things, I got pinch flats and having my rear wheel be punctured by thumb tax. Eventually I need the rear wheel's interior tube replace, where the local repair shop was very enthusiastic in trying to change my interior tube. Because I have no other place to ask for help, I let them do it even though I know that it is their first time to tinker this kind of bike.
Eventually they got the new tube in with many a hitting and pulling, forcefully trying to unhinge the rear wheel from the screws and whatever it makes it be attached to the bike. Anyways, they where successful in putting in the new interior tube of my rear wheel even though they put in 2 inches larger (orig 22 x 2.125), as the size is not found anywhere in my place (replaced with 24 x 2.125). I don't have any complaint about that as I still haven't any flat for a week now.
The problem started after that. The bike has became more sensitive to pedaling as just a simple pedal would initiate the electric motor to go by itself. But if I don't pedal the motor also does not go. I can still use the right hand throttle by itself, but of course, sometimes I wanted to pedal without any assist, for that is a bike for, right?
Can anybody help me to understand how I can adjust the sensitivity of the electric motor to my pedaling?
Thank you for at least reading my inquiry.
