This morning the motor cut out on a gentle hill, and did't work for the next 5 miles of the commute, after work it went with no problem all the way home. When it died the battery indicator remained full and the battery was fully charged having only travelled 1 mile before the problem. Any...

thanks flecc, I have managed to strip down the gearbox and found a disintegrated bearing, will see if I can get this repaired locally. Eric

Hi, my Tonaro Compy made a "bad" noise and stopped driving, have removed the motor and started to strip the gear box, the motor still works but the cog that it is meshed with is seized. Does anyone know if spare parts are available or can it be repaired? Eric

Thanks for the help, spotted that one of the Hall wiring connector pins was not pushed in fully, retensioned and pushed home. Bike has been used everyday for the past week without any stopping , so consider it fixed.

Managed to get the motor to run, although with vibration and more noise than usual. If the motor is given a quarter turn, then it runs. Measured the volts on the motor winding wires when the motor is running, between 2 there is 2.6v but the last one is very low 0.15v. So could this be a...

Have checked the gears and bearings inside the motor assembly, all turn freely and are not worn. Split the motor from the crank gears and tried to run the motor but it doesn't turn. Measured the motor windings, all 3 are equal at 0.8ohms, do I need to check the other 5 hall wires ?

Thanks for the offer, but I am in Co Armagh. I was riding round the back garden to see if it would start, then there was a strange noise like a chain jumping over teeth or perhaps cogs not meshing properly. It only happened for about 3 seconds and then went quiet. Maybe worth looking at the...

I measured across 2 of the pins and got 4.5v, which shows the controller is alive. Then shorted the 4.5v onto the 3rd pin to simulate a fully open throttle, this should over-ride the pedal assist, but not a kick from the motor.

It doesn't have throttle control, found the 3 way connector in the frame tube and tried touching the volts onto the middle pin, but no response from the motor.

Have taken the connectors out of the tube and tested the brake sensors, these need a hard pull on the lever to give a closing contact so are not stopping the motor from going. What else can stop the motor, I was cycling along and it just stopped. I don't suspect the battery as the Leds show full...

Have tried tracing the cables for the brake sensors, the 2 figure of eight cables go into the hole in the frame tube but do not come out at the bottom, maybe this explains why the brake sensors don't work. I can account for all the other cables going to the controller, The problem with no power...

The bike is about 3 years old and was 6months when I got it, but is in good condition. When I rode home this evening it worked perfectly, except for a 2 second loss of power, later I had a look at the connections to the controller unit, all seems good with no burnt contacts. Have remade all...

Hello I had a problem this morning when the motor cut out, on previous occasions it has cut out for a few seconds and then restarted, but this morning it did not come back leaving me with 2 miles still to go. The battery Leds remained at full charge so I don't suspect a battery problem, could it...

fault was sticking brushes in motor. Has been running fine after cleaning

does slime work ? I have green slime in the front and nothing in the rear tube, tyres are identical Schwalbe City Jets and over the past 6 months I have had 3 punctures in the rear but none (that I know of) in the front. I think I will get a green slime tube for the rear as glass is my main...

Hi This happens maybe every other day, the motor will cut out when riding along and come back a minute or 2 later, sometimes helps to ride over bumpy ground to bring it back. I have replaced the motor controller (spare was supplied with the bike) and checked the connectors, all seem in good...

experience of Izip Hello Coops and all, I am now using the Izip 2-3 times a week for commuting to the station a journey of 6.5 miles, am doing it in 28 minutes in the morning, but 38 minutes in the evening. The feewheel does seem to be working well as I can get over 35mph down a long hill...
