Hi all
I recently had this misfortune to inadvertently cycle into some water up to my knees on my Ezee Torq. As you can imagine the bike stopped. I turned off the power and dried everything out by dismantling the controller, battery and motor.
I suspected the controller was damaged and hence have purchased a new one from Cyclezee. Now I have changed the controller, my suspicions are confirmed, as I no longer get any LED errors and the motor now tries do to the right thing.
My Torq was one of the early ones that had the motor wiring all confused, ie Yellow goes to Blue, Green to Yellow etc. Having now installed the controller, I have been trying to align the motor power wires up in the correct phase. I have had the normal judder and nothing happening at all. However the best solution now appears to be to have the wires straight, colour for colour. This gives the impression that the motor is turning and I can adjust the speed, however no power is transmitted to the wheel.
I suspect that one of two things is happening, either the motor is going backwards, or the freewheel mechanism is permanently disengaged.
I have also done the trick, of supplying 5v to the motor and testing the hall effect sensors, these seem to be triggering correctly.
Could anyone answer the following questions?
1 I’m assuming that the hall effect leads are not transposed and if they were, moving the motor power leads around would correct this?
2 Has anyone taken the motor apart to know any detail of the freewheel mechanism inside?
3 Finally, anyone got any other bright ideas?
Thank you very much in advance
Regards
Ian
