I'm hoping someone can help with fitting a new hub to my existing setup. (i.e. without replacing everything)
I'm disabled and ride a wheelchair with an add-on powered front wheel that turns it into a trike. (To be recommended, I can now get out with the rest of the family).
The 'but' is that I'm pretty dependent on it and after several thousand miles grinding up the steep hills where I live it's now showing signs of wear. I contacted the place that sold it, intending to buy just a new motor and wheel, but it will take months to get a replacement. On a previous 'add-on' I replaced its original powerless 200W 'whatever' and fitted a MAC motor and used that VERY successfully for some years before getting this latest model.
What I'm wondering is whether I could replace the wheel in this latest model with a MAC motor without having to do th whole shebang. It has the 'usual'?? blue, yellow, green phase wires and red, black, blue, yellow and green hall sensors, and if I married these with those from the controller, would that work?
If the answer is 'DON'T' is there any way a novice like me could tell what is what in the wiring? Or would you advise starting from scratch if I can't get hold of a new wheel?
