Magnet Sensors for Two Wheeler and E-Bike Side Stand Sensing
Motorcycles, Scooters and other motorized E-bikes have a side stand and a main stand under the chassis. A quick and easy motion of the riders foot gets the side stand out and helps park the vehicle. The problem arises when these motorized two wheelers are started up and driven away without raising the side stand as this could cause a serious accident during turns. This is where Magnet Sensors help by sensing if the side stand has been raised and if not, give an indication on the instrument panel, as soon as the engine is started. Magnet Sensors have high repeatability when working in dirty applications and in dirty environments such as the under carriage without any change in the actuating distance. The basic principles of position sensing remain the same. The Magnet Sensor can be fitted on the chassis near the side stand, with a magnet fixed on the moving stand.
