Thanks. That makes me feel better, in case Currie won't send it to me. Sounds like you've got this bike and have tried this jumper?

I obviously don't have a full grasp of how all the wiring works, because I'm thinking if the pedal sensor doesn't work at all - it seems the throttle wouldn't work, because it was my understanding that the throttle won't make it go if you aren't pedaling (ie. if the pedal sensor doesn't think you're pedaling).

Although I'm curious about the PAS/TAG throttle, I don't think I'm going to ask for one. I honestly can't imagine ever wanting the motor to kick in automatically. It is very common for me to get up to a speed where the motor wouldn't help (but I'm still pedaling). I'll try the bike without the jumper just to see how it works, but then I'm fine with it being off forever. It is also possible that switching throttles will cause problems, or at the very least, the lights on the throttle indicating battery power won't work right, since the PAS/TAG throttle was made for SLA batteries. I have a SLA conversion kit from Currie that stopped working and they've stopped selling it because of problems, particularly with the wrong throttle being shipped (and the don't have the right one). So I'll be returning that...

On another thought... Given Currie's logic for creating it this way (forcing users to pedal will save the battery) makes me think that they think of their customers as lazy people who, if given the chance, will not pedal and will just use the throttle (but then, why didn't they just make it throttle-operated where the throttle doesn't work if you're not pedaling?). They need to think of their customers (or at least some of the customers) as fairly in-shape people who like biking, but need a little help to make a long bike commute feasible.
