    Diagnosing a fault - motor or controller?

    Thanks, cable is on the way courtesy of shemozzle999 so I'll have a go.

    Diagnosing a fault - motor or controller?

    I've checked all of the connectors and re-seated them but no difference. I also checked the connections between the controller connectors and the connector halfway to the motor and they are all fine. It looks like the break is between the external connector and the motor and adjusting the...

    Diagnosing a fault - motor or controller?

    Yes, apologies - I was under the impression that the plastic housing was the controller and that the white gunk was as far as I could go - didn't see the screws at the time. I'll try that tonight.

    Diagnosing a fault - motor or controller?

    I did a bit more disassembley yesterday and took the side off the moulding that houses the controller. I discovered that the wires all have connectors on them before entering the controller. I'll run the DMM over the wires to the motor connector so I can at least see if that section is broken...

    Diagnosing a fault - motor or controller?

    The connector is pushed home so it isn't that but I think you are right about the connection fault - I can occasionally get it to make connection by manipulating it and the motor will run. I can't find a position to clamp it that lasts for more than a few mins though. Without a spare bike to...

    Diagnosing a fault - motor or controller?

    I'll do that tonight - reach or bury the line?

    Diagnosing a fault - motor or controller?

    Yes I believe so - I line the arrows up and pushed it home firmly. The thing that puzzles me is that once it has stopped (after about 5 mins) I can't get it working again, but generally the next day it will start again. Unfortunately so far, there has always been some fiddling done, so I don't...

    Diagnosing a fault - motor or controller?

    I asked the former owner - "It happened going up hill steep peddling hard. Graunchy noises. Lost all power."

    Diagnosing a fault - motor or controller?

    Thanks again for the help. That's useful info. I wouldn't describe the graunch sound as a judder and it lasts maybe half a second and then there's silence. The sound is more like someone grinding the gears on a car because they've mistimed the clutch. The wires disappear into the bottom of the...

    Diagnosing a fault - motor or controller?

    Thanks for the info. I've checked the connector and its pins are clean and shiny. The wire exiting the motor has a spring wrapper that appears undamaged. Can you explain why you say it is a connection fault? Thanks

    Diagnosing a fault - motor or controller?

    Hi all, I recently posted regarding replacing the motor on my oxygen e-mate. I've done some further tests and I'm not convinced it is the gears that are at fault. The motor will run and drive the wheel for about 5 minutes but then there is a graunching noise and the motor stops driving. No...

    New motor for Oxygen e-mate 2010

    That's really helpful, thanks. Can you point me to a supplier for the gears? Is it worth pre-emptively changing the clutch?

    New motor for Oxygen e-mate 2010

    Thanks for the reply - here is a pic of the hub... is it enough to ID the motor? Are you saying I could replace just the gears/clutch?

    New motor for Oxygen e-mate 2010

    Hi all, my first post! I've just been given a 2010 oxygen e-mate but with a non working motor - the gears appear to be stripped. What's the best option to sort this? Would a new motor from oxygen be best or are there aftermarket options that would be better? Has the motor technology improved...
