Hi Folks,
I think I've burnt something out on my converted ebike, too bad since it was working so well! I've taken 2 short videos to show you how its behaving now, as you'll see when I turn the crank to activate the pedellec function -instead of the motor kicking in as usual, it just clicks:
YouTube - Hub Motor Problem 1
YouTube - Hub Motor Problem 2
It happened after a steep winding climb of about a mile! Nice picturesque cycle too, and it happened at the top so at least it was downhill all the way home! First I thought it was the battery, but that's fully charged now...
Anyway a bit of background info:
used a 24 volt Alien kit
Its about a year and a half old
Its just pedellec no throttle
I haven't interfered with the controller
I wonder did I damage the controller or perhaps the motors!
