EZ Electric Power Steering
Speed Sensor Conversion for Electric Power Steering
This is an option to use a speed sensor for your electric power steering installation.
Background:
All of our kits are load sensitive, as are most hydraulic systems. This means that at low speed, the handlebars are heavy and the torsion bar has maximum twist. The torque sensor senses this twist and therefore the ECU calculates the maximum assistance. As you drive faster, the steering gets lighter, so the torsion bar twists less and the ECU calculates less support.
If the kit is equipped with a potentiometer, the system uses a simulated speed signal that can be adjusted manually. Turning the knob counterclockwise creates a low simulated speed signal resulting in maximum support. When an EZ standard kit is fitted with a potentiometer, then this has been a well-considered choice by us. The choice of potentiometer may have been made because of driving characteristics, but sometimes also because a speed sensor does not always fit or is difficult to mount.
A real speed signal can be obtained by an electronic speed signal that can be taken from the speedometer or by mounting a speed sensor/pulsifier/transducer. The speed sensor is an additional feature and not usually necessary or an improvement, but we offer it here for customers who wish to go this route.
