    Cyclotricity Revolver 250w front hub motor - bearing adjust / replacement?

    It's taken me a while, but I finally fixed it and it's running great now, thanks to everyone for their help and advice! When I last posted here, I'd got the motor apart and removed the smaller, most damaged bearing. But the larger one was stubborn and very close to the motor, so I couldn't...

    Cyclotricity Revolver 250w front hub motor - bearing adjust / replacement?

    Looking on the internet for suggestions as to what grease to use when I've cleaned up the gunk currently in there, I am very confused, so many differing opinions! Eg lithium is bad for nylon gears, or lithium is best for nylon gears. Can anyone tell me what they've used? Currently it looks...

    Cyclotricity Revolver 250w front hub motor - bearing adjust / replacement?

    Ah, I had no idea I had the motor in upside down, but I now see how water would trickle in that way. I looked at photos I took of my bike when I bought it, but can't see if it's always been the wrong way round as the cable is always out of shot. Anyway, thanks for the advice, I've now ordered a...

    Cyclotricity Revolver 250w front hub motor - bearing adjust / replacement?

    Thanks for all your help. I've taken the motor apart today, but have a few further questions. One bearing seemed to have a lot of play, and I've successfully removed that one by tapping it in a circular motion with a hammer and a punch. This bearing partly fell apart as it came out. Markings...

    Cyclotricity Revolver 250w front hub motor - bearing adjust / replacement?

    Hi, I've had a Cyclotricity Revolver 250w since Summer 2017, and use it regularly. It's obviously built down to a price and over the years I've had to replace some parts, but overall it's done me well. The front motor hub has now developed significant play on the axle, but there doesn't seem...

    Puncture proofing tyres

    I got my first e-bike (Cyclotricity Revolver) 6 months ago; had a puncture on the very first ride! I changed the tyres for Schwalbe Land Cruiser Plus and also fitted Schwalbe tubes, and I've not had any problem since. (900+ miles) [edit to add] As I was keen to go out for a 2nd ride on my new...

    Hello from Cyclotricity Revolver owner

    Hi, I bought a Cyclotricity Revolver back in June, and have since cycled 600 miles on for work/shopping trips as well as leisure. I'm very pleased with it. On the first day I rode the bike I had a puncture, and I decided to change the tyres and tubes - I'm now using Schwalbe inner tubes and...
