Great tip. I’ve been having trouble with my track bike and it would seem that the sensor and the magnet are not talking to each other no matter what I do Do they get dirty and cause issues? And last question. How difficult is it to replace the magnet that is what is required?
Would add that carrying a spare OEM magnet with your tools in your saddle bag is a good idea also as well as a quick link for your chain and a chain tool (ebike chains get much more torque than normal mechanical bike chains and they do break.) Anyway, your magnet falls off you are pushing that heavy bike home or calling Uber (hey almost never would happen but on a trail and miles from the nearest road...)
I thought I had to send my bike in for repair when my speedometer startet acting crazy. But after seeing this video I found that the magnet only needed to be adjusted. Thanks!
My girlfriend's hibike sduro 2.0's speed sensor is in the right place but it's kind of off center? Kind of Twisted I guess. Should I loosen it and make sure that it's flush lined up with the sensor?
Thanks for the help two days I have been riding manual my friend he turns this speed magnet until I watch your video I fix it now My bike is working😂😂👌👌👌👌👍👍
The speed sensor magnet on my electric bike is located between the rear wheel and the cadence sensor. How can I check for the speed limiter if I'm using my 48V 21ah extended range battery that makes a buzzing noise when I'm riding.
I have a speed sensor which is located on the frame of the bike, but I'm using a 48V 21ah extended range battery. When I'm riding using this battery I hear a buzzing noise as I'm pedaling ? Am I doing something wrong when I'm riding, and if so does it have anything to do with how I'm using my PAS, and gears .I also wanted to mention that the speed cadence sensors are located on the bike frame.
Thank you for the video! Just one question, when not riding for some days, should I remove the button battery from the sensor? Or maybe it doesn't drain when the magnet is not turning in the wheel?
I have an issue I can't really seem to fix. History is bought my e-bike of of internet. Top speed was 30 mph. Months later e-bike was stolen and parts removed from frame. I got some parts back to get it running again after sitting weathered for about a week then got it back together. When I logged my top speed more than once it topped out at 14 mph. How can I fix speed?
No, it does not affect the speed reading... 1 magnet gives 1 pulse per rotation to the sensor. With the correct wheel size (and or number of magnets = 1) set the computer reads/counts and displays 1 x wheel size circumference per pulse = X speed. So you should place it at the correct distance between the magnet and the sensor, distance from the rim doesn't change the set wheel size and number of pulses per rotation.
Just wondering if this could be the sensor cable? I keep moving the magnet and sometimes it works but it keeps going back to error 503. Can anyone help?
Here's a great troubleshooting tip: NEVER buy a shimano steps system. I have never in my entire life come across such a bug-ridden, unreliable system. Steer well clear if you value your happiness.
Please could u help I have a new rock machine crossride e400 with shimano steps 6100 I can't see any markings where the speed sensor should pass the receiver. Where do I position it please?
It's funny how everybody is looking for higher speed which they can get but they have to buy the right bicycle mine does 42 miles per hour and it's a mid-drive
I drive without this fuckin sensor. If its to near it dont work and if its to far away also. You have always problems with this. I wanne drive and not looking on a display. Never needed a speedometer.
Yes, you could spend thousands of dollars on an eBike th-cam.com/users/postUgkxUiL0GnyDjP32RJdd660sP8mZk4CRLTCJ and get something much higher quality. However, if you're looking for a basic model to try out eBiking this is a great choice. The assembly is easy as far as bikes go (took about an hour for me to do, I'm not an expert). All tools needed are included. I added the plastic mud guards you see and a more comfortable seat. The other reviews are correct that you're probably going to want a better seat (Giddy Up! Bike Seat is what I got - super comfortable). The battery easily handles a 2-4 hour ride if you add some of your own pedal power. I haven't even gotten it up to top speed yet - it is very fast. Components are not top of the line, but decent for the price and work just fine. It works great on dirt roads and singletrack and pavement although too heavy to do tricks or any serious technical mountain biking. I'm looking forward to using it a lot over the summer. Tons of fun!
"On Bosch there's a nice little slit that you can align the magnet to", RIGHT AT THE MARK! Thanks from Holland!

cabbynate I’d say if it’s still functioning well then leave it. Love that these videos are getting you to check your bikes out though!
@@FlyRidesUSA We try to keep them up as best as we can. We also went tubeless. Easy to do and better peace of mind.
Thanks for the help two days I have been riding manual my friend he turns this speed magnet until I watch your video I fix it now My bike is working😂😂👌👌👌👌👍👍
Thank you so much. I was going insane because it wasn’t showing the speed I’m going. The magnet on the spoke wasn’t aligned correctly. ❤❤❤❤
Gosh thank you gentlemen. This video just saved me a half a day headache
You saved me a trip up the shop.
Thank you 👍
So you don't align the magnet with the end of the speed sensor But in the middle of it ?
Can you take out speed sensor without trouble
Hector you are the man. Thank you so much for making this video!!!
khcopter Hector is the man!

Is there a way to use a stronger magnet or move the magnet so that it gives more pedal assist?
No the magnet is just for registering wheel speed.
Hi, thanks for the video. Could you please recommend a decently priced speed sensor?
That was exactly what was happening to my Gazelle - thanks!
Thank you for the video! Just one question, when not riding for some days, should I remove the button battery from the sensor? Or maybe it doesn't drain when the magnet is not turning in the wheel?
Is there a difference if you put your sensor not in the middle of the fork? When you make the sensor higher or lower in place
Should the sensor be placed nearer to the hub or the rim?
Is it same for giant e bike eg Roam ?
Thanks 😊
Thank you bro you help me a lot, stay healthy
Glad to help!

Hello can I use the Swapfiets e bike and I’m getting the WO11 error code. How do I solve it
If you put the magnet closer to the centre and the sensor too, will it make a difference on the speed ? I think not .. ?
No, it does not affect the speed reading... 1 magnet gives 1 pulse per rotation to the sensor. With the correct wheel size (and or number of magnets = 1) set the computer reads/counts and displays 1 x wheel size circumference per pulse = X speed. So you should place it at the correct distance between the magnet and the sensor, distance from the rim doesn't change the set wheel size and number of pulses per rotation.
The problem is the magnet hit the sensor, so now what do I do?
Why do people remove it upp ,do it get stronger or faster .....tryed on my GIANT SYNCRONE DRIVE SPORT........DINT GO MUCH FASTER AND NO STRINGER..😊
I got a new speedometer for my e-bike it all powers that but it says error what's wrong with it
Just wondering if this could be the sensor cable? I keep moving the magnet and sometimes it works but it keeps going back to error 503. Can anyone help?
Thank yu so much, you just saved me a phat headache
Muchas gracias
Man I hope every night when you go to sleep, you remember that you help so many people and that you contribute to other peoples lives
EXCELLENT PRODUCT!!
Great chanell grettings from Netherlands !
How do I ring out the sensor to make sure it is not faulty
So where is it if my bike doesn't have one?
Here's a great troubleshooting tip: NEVER buy a shimano steps system. I have never in my entire life come across such a bug-ridden, unreliable system. Steer well clear if you value your happiness.
I don't think I've seen an e-bike without them..
Please could u help I have a new rock machine crossride e400 with shimano steps 6100 I can't see any markings where the speed sensor should pass the receiver. Where do I position it please?
Sorry, I'm not familiar with this bike. I'd recommend taking it into a shop. Good luck!
Hey guys I don’t see any magnet on my spoke where else could it be??
I don’t see any kind of magnet on my bike anywhere. I have a bike from Lectric
I lost my magnet so please suggest me how can make a new
So by doing this it will go faster?
Hi do you have any thing speed hack for flyon? Thank you
Hi, my doesnt have too, did tou solve the problem and how
Its still dont show my speed at the display 😢
Hey Adam! You might needs some help from your local shop. Could be a different issue. Good luck!
It's funny how everybody is looking for higher speed which they can get but they have to buy the right bicycle mine does 42 miles per hour and it's a mid-drive
rocket science...
I drive without this fuckin sensor. If its to near it dont work and if its to far away also. You have always problems with this. I wanne drive and not looking on a display. Never needed a speedometer.
So what were the tips again? Useless.
total crap
My eBike does not have such a magnet
