Bionx SL 350 - help with brake sensor setup
I bought a Bionx SL 350 kit and have it all set up but for the brake sensor. I have inverse levers on the bike and need the sensor to be in normal mode when the sensor and the magnet are far apart and to be in regen when the magnet is in proximity to the switch.
I thought I read somewhere several months ago this was just a simple setting in the console but I cannot find any information now.
Is this possible, or am I mistaken and I need to buy an inverse switch from Bionx?

Until you can switch the console you can try the switch on the inside of the brake lever and that could do the trick... Maybe...

Official response from Bionx translated into "real" English: you used to be able to do this free from the console, but we thought it would be better to make you buy a $25 part to do it, so that's how we do it now.
Which explains why I thought I saw that an article saying "change the console" but couldn't find it again.

BionX had me thinking they were going to fix the battery I sent them, via my bike shop. Never did they warn me:
They NOW conclude it is out of warranty.
It costs about $80 to ship the impaired battery back to me. (My bike shop is horrified and in shock at this "customer service". I am, too!)
If I want a refurbished battery, they will sell one to my dealer wholesale for $200. Not to me. It is then up to the dealer what level of markup to apply.
Worse, the contact person contradicted himself, telling me I was recharging it correctly, but later telling the shop I wasn't. Also, he knew it had less than 30 recharges on it, yet told the shop it had been heavily used.

Dude, I'm sorry your experience wasn't good, but are you seriously going to track down every Bionx thread and hijack it with your off-topic piss-and-moan story?
Keep it on the topic at hand. You already posted your story elsewhere.
