    Hub motor swap from Bafang to MXUS

    Okay great, I will check that site out. If they do not ship from Germany and only China I will prob have to pay VAT & Duty to UK ? Was it the Brainpower controller you got as that seems to be the perfect pair for the KT-LCD3 ? Did you have problems with the wiring or did you cut off the wire...

    Hub motor swap from Bafang to MXUS

    Hi Ross, your post has added more weight now for me to change the controller and display unit. I was also looking at the KT-LCD3 setup, what controller did you pair it up with and did you also add the throttle function to it? If you able to provide me any links of what you purchased and from...

    What is the purpose of the extra solder then on the shunt, is it to add additional heat protection? As it does look quite messy now that WheezyRider has pointed this out.

    Hub motor swap from Bafang to MXUS

    They not even big inclines, they just flat road hills, with maybe about about a 10-15' degree incline. Yes it is a 20" bike, have posted a pic of the bike now. Wow, that is such a good observation. This is a brand new bike and I only I have had it unless this is a factory issue at time of...

    Hub motor swap from Bafang to MXUS

    Yes, and even if I get the reseller to take the bike back, I wont see it a for a few months. I made a big mistake buying from just a shop that does not specialise in bikes, anyways mistake made .. time to move on. It is a good build bike overall, and yes I agree with you that I do need to find...

    Hub motor swap from Bafang to MXUS

    Hi, yes the bike is still under warranty, just over a month old. The problem is I have to return the whole bike to the reseller, that alone would cost me around £70 just for shipping, then the other issue I have is that if they ride it the fault may not even show up, its totally intermittent...

    Hub motor swap from Bafang to MXUS

    Okay that makes sense, so if I get a 1 or any other reading indicates the mosfets are working and no issues with the controller. If I had a 0 reading then mosfet's could be damaged. So with all these tests, it has to be the motor at fault then. Anyways have now mounted the new MXUS XF15R...

    Hub motor swap from Bafang to MXUS

    Okay thanks, I will try that , as the battery is concealed in the body of the bike and will only connect to the battery plate when closed could be a bit difficult to do. Quick question, can I damage any of the electrical components of the bike using a multimeter or even if the probes are...

    Hub motor swap from Bafang to MXUS

    Yes, sure here they are. The 9.8 reading is on all the 3 phase wires on the black battery terminal. The other reading is on the Red terminal of the battery, repeating again 2 min later gives a 1 now constant.

    Hub motor swap from Bafang to MXUS

    Okay so the money is still on the speed controller , perhaps I should upgrade it with a 36v/48v and higher amps then as maybe the controller is unable to handle this additional load? I now have the new MXUS motor mounted, so will see I have the same issues with this one, if I do then it has to...

    Hub motor swap from Bafang to MXUS

    I measured upto 20k, what do you mean by shorting the probes exactly. I am not familiar with using multimeter so learning as you ask me to perform the steps? I have no put the controller back in the bike and all wired up with new MXUS motor, to see if I have the same issue or not. Worth...

    Hub motor swap from Bafang to MXUS

    Okay so the conclusion is controller is all good and working. You could be right, must have overloaded and burnt the windings, as once this issue happens and you turn off the battery and allow motor to settle all is okay until another incline comes. This is the cheapest range of motor that...

    Hub motor swap from Bafang to MXUS

    Thanks for the reply, Sorry that was not correct what I said, I got a reading of 1 for all 3 phases on the red wire. So does this indicate that the controller is okay and mosfet's are all working. The issue could be the actual motor then? I now have my new MXUS motor on the biked and will...
