Bosch Electric Bike Magnet
The Bosch electric bike magnet is an essential component of the speed sensor system, which measures the bike's speed and ensures the motor assists function correctly. The magnet is typically attached to the rear wheel spoke or brake disc, passing by the speed sensor with each wheel rotation, allowing the sensor to register the rotational speed.
Magnet Types:
- Spoke Magnet: Directly attaches to the rear wheel spoke.
- Brake Disc Magnet: Installed alongside the brake disc mounting screws, either with a 6-bolt pattern or Center Lock fitting. This mounting option offers a cleaner look and reduces the risk of damage to the magnet.
Compatibility:
It is crucial to ensure that the magnet you choose is compatible with your electric bike's speed sensor and motor system. For instance, specific magnets are available for Bosch speed sensors to ensure the system functions flawlessly.
Installation Tips:
- Distance: Ensure that the magnet and the speed sensor are at the correct distance from each other, usually around 5–17 mm, so the sensor can accurately read the magnet's movement.
- Attachment: Mount the magnet securely, but avoid overtightening to prevent damage to the spoke or brake disc.
- Direction: Make sure the active side of the magnet is facing the speed sensor for optimal signal reception.
Regular inspection and cleaning ensure the flawless operation of the magnet and speed sensor, which is essential for the performance and safety of the electric bike.
