![](https://ebikes.ca/pub/media/wysiwyg/news/splitpas (2).jpg)
We have a new supply of 12 pole PAS sensors for the V3 CA devices. These units have a split magnet disk and adjustable position pickup so there is no need to remove your cranks or bottom bracket to install them on a bike, and have been wired up for plug and play compatibility with the CA3 harness.

1800km later Justin and Robbie have completed their electric cargo bike ride from Vancouver into San Francisco and had a fabulous time meeting up with everyone at the San Mateo Maker Faire over the weekend. All prototype gear under test held up to the task. A big thanks to Frank, Ken, Will, Wake, Otmar, Pete, Bill, Michael, Eric, Patrick, and the many others who took them in and helped along the way make this a trip to remember.
Maker Exhibit: Powerboards, Powerunicycles, and Prototype Ebikes Parts Galore
We are registered as "EV Grins" at the Bay Area maker faire, May 18-19th. As part of this we're trying to encourage a small gathering of DIY ebike builders who can make it to participate and show up with their home-brew ebike build. In addition to the custom Edgerunner builds we'll be riding down, we've also got a weight activated power skateboard and a continuously variable geared electric assist unicycle.

Tour of Cascadia, Vancouver to Maker Faire, SF

On the subject of tours, both Justin and Robbie are preparing to ride a pair of electric Edgerunner cargo bikes down to San Francisco during the first 2 weeks of May. Along the way we'll be meeting up with a number of ebike enthusiasts and businesses dotting the west coast. The trip will be detailed in this endless-sphere thread, and if you are en-route and want to be a part of the adventure or offer up some shelter and charging outlets, then drop us a line.

For those who haven't been following, our intrepid Anne-Sophie has successfully covered thousands of kilometers through Chile and Argentina on her handmade touring unicycle. Other than a few crashes and rough patches, the trip has been a delight of amazing sights and experiences, rendered more interesting by the many locals and friendly travelers on similar journeys.
Visits and Helps

Just a short shout-out to some people who have helped us recently. Thank you to Eliza, a former engineering physics classmate who just finished a 2 month stint here in between her outdoors ed program. And thanks also to Abraham of Glow Worm Cycles in Australia, who came to visit for a week in April and helped us restore our cargo trike back to life.
