I've found a problem which happened a few days ago on standard Chinese dd 1000w, was crusing along on the throttle and the power cut,
Having hand spinning the wheel the motor kicked back in and got me home .

Didn't think much to it but today after getting the bike out fresh battery etc
Bike wheel wouldn't spin
Works sometimes after moving the wheel (not wires)
Wants to spin but doesn't
Or nothing,
I can fix this by playing with the wheel

Any suggestions
All my wires are good, not breaks or drops

Wheel spins freely with no power,

Possibly blown mosfet (I did tinker and shunt mod)
And noticed this initially after crusing at 35mph on throttle

Hall wire connections have melted and sort of. Fused together I taped all three together obviously mistake on my part going to rewire now. And check

they're the phase wires. It's quite a common problem. I always solder the wire together on higher current motors like that because those bullet connectors are unsuitable.
