hi Panda, I managed to repair my bike, well its running and I ve been cycling to work this week in the lovely weather, One thing I have noticed is the "power" the bike/motor offers me has somewhat reduced. Its seems ok, but a steep hill and the motor really does struggle and offers little...

Re-assembled and its all working. I must say its running smoother and quieter than previous, but with still an obvious whir. Its much better now and I have learnt a lot - again! Thanks again both, I hope to be out on my bike this weekend now!! A happy pedelec!

Hi D8veh, Shemozzle, I appreciate the advise, but I think even for me this might be a little too much for me. I dont want to damage the planet cogs. I have just tried the 3 screws again on supporting jig so I can get enough purchase but they arent moving! My plan is to clean everything up as...

Teeth are looking nice and sharp on the cogs, a little dirty but they have cleaned up nicely.. I will give them another go later. I will keep trying to prize the back off, do you think its worth it or should concentrate on getting the 3 screws off the planet plate?

Hi Shemozzle, Firstly, 3 holding screws on the other side are still unfortunately stuck. The mechanic had a good go but was unable to get sufficient grip. A little bit frustrating! As mentioned I was able to get behind the plate and give everything a good clean, it just means I cant access...

As you can see we managed to prize out the perimeter screws on the rear of the hub! Do I need to remove the 6 central screws around the axel too?

thanks both for your kind advice. I will give it a go today and try wheel it round to the local mechanic so they can give the hub screws ago. As you say if it come out, it should go back!

Perfect, I think I will have to bite the bullet you say and wheel the bike round to a local mechanic. I am sure they will be able to help. I will also ask about the screws on the rear side of the hub too. I am just trying to put the bits back together so I can wheel it round and now I cant get...

Hi Shemozzle, So close yet so far! I really dont think these screws are going to budge. I will give them one last go, but i think they are seized in. Is there any more I could do without removing the plate? thanks again!

Those screws are not budging! I have tried a near perfect match with the screw heads and they will not budge. Slightly irked! I have sprayed some WD40 on them in a hope they will ease tomorrow. On a positive note, I wired up the motor and the hub is back turning again! Still quite loud but I...

Good morning, this is great, thank you, thanks for the tips too! I have spent must of the weekend cleaning the hub and getting rid most of the the gunk and dirt. I even managed to get behind the planet gears and fish out a lot of mess. The gears, when using my fingers, are now turning all in...

hello again shemozzle, the link is great thank you! I will have a good read through and see what I can achieve. I have struggling to remove the plate which covers the 3 cogs. any tips to help remove the screws? thanks

Hi D8veh, I am giving it all a good clean, the housing is looking nearly new, whilst the hub itself is also starting to look good, I am really struggling to remove the screws and plate/clutch. I have put some WD40 on in the hope it help loosen them. Am I supposed to be cleaning it to free up the...

Very messy! I have some wire wool and WD40 and will be attacking it soon. The cogs dont move at all - is it best to remove the 3 screws shown above to get into them? i really dont know where to start!

Hi all, struggling to source a brush motor and the other option of total refit is putting me off simply down to price and also time. I have managed to buy a hydraulic push and opened up the motor. Photos - to follow

Hi D8veh, thanks for your help. I think you are right! I am going to take both pieces of advice. First I am going to see if I can prize open and fix current brush set up. If that fails I will look at purchasing a full new kit for my bike. Thank you so much for all your help. I will probably...

Hi d8veh, shemozzle, thanks for both replies. I am still weighing up both options. I can get a new wheel/hub for $120 and sent with a work consignment from work, so cost wise its reasonble - however with the brush issue I am now not sure if it will work! My bike at the moment has 250W battery...

Hello, again, are there any other specifications I need to consider when choosing a replacement hub? My bike is set up as follows. Used solely for 5 mile commute. road terrain. 250W Controller set up 24V power 26" Wheel Do I need to consider brush or brushless?
