    hub motor running but no wheel motion on FreeGo Hawk Electric Bikes

    Thanks. i just managed to get the first circlip out. can now see more circlips battles coming to remove the nylon gears. also seen some on eaby uk. [not sure how reliable they are though but can't find postage pricing on greenbikekit to get an idea of the cost]

    hub motor running but no wheel motion on FreeGo Hawk Electric Bikes

    from that youtbe video, if it's anything like my motor, i can see how i could swap each of the gears themselves.

    hub motor running but no wheel motion on FreeGo Hawk Electric Bikes

    Hi, I finally got time to open up the motor. The gears look smashed. Any ideas whereas I can swap them with new myself (how doable?)and pointers where to find gears if it's at all possible, I'm up for it. Trying to figure out how to get them out... See photos below. Thanks,

    any recommendation for a bike mechanic who could do the job in London? always trying to stay local as much as possible (+small businesses need support down here with excruciating rent costs!)

    i mean labour and parts. Thanks for your reply, I now have an idea of what labour could cost. I have looked into the topic of wheel rebuild and even if I love being temeraire, I would not come near. This is a specialist job in my opinion (unless perhaps if you have access to the right tools and...

    The question is how much cost a rear wheel rebuild? (I'll need one once I'll have the motor fixed!)

    hub motor running but no wheel motion on FreeGo Hawk Electric Bikes

    Hi, All was well til this morning when the motor would run but 'empty', not creating any motion. there was a bit of a pull (in the morning first thing) for 2 min and it felt as if it had disconnected from the wheel. Another thing I noticed is that when rolling the bike backward, something seems...

    Help with brakes

    Done it today. Took crank, chain wheel and magnet disc off, clean it all up. (Straightened the teeth a bit but unless I'd insert some material in between they'll go bent again.) Wrapped pvc tape on both side of disc and it worked out. Their is almost no gap between disc and sensor (as it was...

    Help with brakes

    its behind the chain ring. Gaffatape won't work as it is almost not moving. Seems stuck in one position unless i apply force to turn it around. at times it gets free and goes a little together with the pedal then stuck again. [edit] it got looser now. It could be that teeth are worn out as it s...
