    I'm now fairly sure it's 250w because it originally came from cyclotricity and their's are 250w.

    motor testing

    I've just realised that I don't actually know the wattage of the motor or controller. There's plenty of 350w controllers on ebay and several 250w. I'm not sure which to get. Can i measure the motor wattage? Or can it be ascertained from the information on the existing controller (see top of...

    A couple of updates: There was no sign of life from the newly-working motor using the known working throttle with the questionable controller by connecting white to white, red to red and black to blue. Although i didn't have the hall sensors connected. The known working system works without...

    Slight change to the above. Upon reconnection, although the questionable motor ticked and occasionally twitched when throttle was applied, it barely moved. When i disconnected the hall sensors from the known working motor and applied throttle the (no longer?) questionable motor started to...

    Latest developments: I connected the 3 thick wires, of the questionable motor, to the existing functional system, without disconnecting the hall sensors of the known working motor. The questionable motor ticked and moved when i applied a little throttle. I then disconnected to avoid damage. I...

    I used the throttle. I assume it works. I can try the known working one. I didn't have the PAS connected. Would that matter? I'll try the 800w controller. Thanks again for all your help.

    Mixed news. The lcd display works. But no signs of life from the motor. I tried without the hall sensors and then with. Can i try with my working controller from the 800w system? Or how do i get a compatible controller? I read elsewhere that some work without the hall sensors and you seemed to...

    Ah, i thought the meter might be on the way out. I'll try what you suggest with and without the hall sensors. I should have a result in the next couple of hours.

    The battery gives 39.x V one way round and -41.x V the other, which is odd. Can i safely connect it to the controller without anything else connected?

    I've actually got 2 batteries which both work fine with another electric bike (36v 800w). I'll have to dig out the possibly faulty controller for the 250w wheel. Could i test it with the controller from the working 800w machine? Thanks again for your help

    Hi guys n gals, I've got a working 36v battery, a possibly faulty control box and a 36v 250w hub motor which should be working. I just want to test the motor before proceeding. It's got 3 thick blue, green and yellow wires and a further 5 thin wires of the same colours plus red and black. Is it...
