Product Information

Full details

The Hope E-Bike Speed Sensor (R24) is designed for e-bike riders looking to replace or upgrade their current magnet sensor system for use with 6-bolt brake rotors. It provides a robust, precision-engineered solution for tracking speed and motor assistance, though users must verify their specific e-bike's magnetic field and clearance requirements before installation as compatibility varies significantly across manufacturers.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Will this work with Centerlock rotors?

No, this sensor is specifically designed for 6-bolt rotors.

Can I use this on a Specialized Turbo Levo SL?

No, this product is not compatible with Specialized Turbo Levo SL models equipped with the 1.2 SL motor.

What happens if my magnet is not 24mm from the center?

The system will likely fail to register speed correctly, as the signal timing will be incorrect for the motor controller.

Are the mounting bolts included?

Yes, the product includes 2 mounting bolts.

Does the sensor have a specific magnetic orientation?

Yes, e-bikes use specific magnetic fields; ensure your bike's system matches the R24 specifications before purchase.

Troubleshooting

Bike display shows 'Speed Sensor Fault'

Verify the magnet is exactly 24mm from the axle center and check that the gap is precisely 4.5mm.

Erratic speed readings while riding

Ensure the sensor is tightened securely and not vibrating; also check for dirt or metal dust buildup on the sensor face.

Sensor hitting the brake caliper

The R24 is 3.5mm thick; if your frame clearance is tighter than this, you may need to adjust your caliper position or use a different sensor orientation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction typical of Hope components
  • Versatile design fits most standard 6-bolt rotor setups
  • Slim 3.5mm profile prevents rubbing against frame components
  • Includes necessary mounting hardware for quick setup

Cons

  • Not universally compatible due to varying e-bike magnetic specifications
  • Incompatible with Specialized Turbo Levo SL (1.2 SL motor)
  • Requires precise 4.5mm clearance for optimal signal reading

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires removing the existing 6-bolt rotor and securing the sensor unit using the two included mounting bolts.

Compatibility Checks

  • Rotor Type: Must be a 6-bolt system. Centerlock rotors are not natively supported without an adapter.
  • Clearance: You must maintain a 4.5mm gap to ensure the sensor triggers properly without mechanical collision.
  • Motor Exclusion: This model is explicitly confirmed to be incompatible with Specialized Turbo Levo SL bikes featuring the 1.2 SL motor.

Care Instructions

  • Periodically inspect the sensor for debris or metallic shavings that may accumulate due to the magnetic field.
  • Ensure the mounting bolts are torqued according to your rotor manufacturer's specifications to prevent vibration.
  • Clean the sensor surface with a soft, lint-free cloth during your regular bike maintenance routine.
