wakefield

Well I am the one who is sat looking at this thing prodding n poking it, so your gonna have to take my word for it. it is as i say it is. Thanks for the help btw

if you look at the pictures of the bike vfr put up, this one is set up the same. i think there was confuddlement because i took the picture when the bike was upside down, Mind you I did say so....

We could have a little bet here. if you can unscrew the brake drum i would give you the bike. Loose and i want yours? confidant?

Do you go to Squires in Sherburn? IF you do Im gonna rock up on the Zipper in my leathers n sidi's then take the thing apart infront of you....

OMG Honda riders... LMAO.

I have just asked my son who is in the Fleet Air Arm.... He says: shut up. stop being a cock! ? kids ehh. B.Z.

But there is no need as everything is on the correct side! all the threads run the correct way. just the same as in the photo you put up.

At the min it stands me at £75 i need gear kit and shifter so i guess £120 all in. Came with a brand new battery pack which i am going to rebuild to 42v 10A and fit it without the standard battery case which would only allow for 36v. With left over batteries i may make a rack mount battery . all in all not bad for the cost.

maybe so, we live n learn. I dont believe its mounted incorrect as I always thought chain was on the right? And that is where it is. the confusion was the clutch freewheeled the wrong way which wasnt apparent to me at the outset. so i was looking elsewhere.

The picture is taken with the bike upside down. Chain on the right brake on the left. The wheel is centered ok. There is no thread on both side though, if you look at the hub only one side comes off.The brake side is intergrated with the hub cover plate to the motor. I have 30-35mm available to try fit a seven speed freewheel sprocket, so that is the next job then cobble the brake kit to be secured to the frame. It did have a single speed freewheel sprocket on so the threads are correct. i just removed it. My guess is the wheel is for a different bike alltogether but im almost there so we shall see how it looks when finished.

Done. Still no wiser what the motor is though. SO. the clutch. I took the grinder and opened the back to find a SMJR spring mounted jamming roller ( made up terminology ) remove the spring wedge the roller tight-weld Job done. Hope it helps someone in the future.

My wheels no longer runs backwards.....As explained someone cobbled the motor together unknown to me, the clutch freewheeled the wrong direction. the cure was open the clutch mech and weld it fixed, no clutch. job done. A little bit more digging on this forum and I have the perameters set up and working a treat. If anyone wants any pictures of the clutch fix let me know.

Anyone want to buy a clown ebike?

Well Having striped the motor down and powered it up out of the wheel hub it does indeed spin both ways. the gears however have a one way clutch! quite how this motor ever worked with the chain gear on the normal right hand side is a mystery. Maybe its the Australian version . Bin Fodder i lost the will to live lol

Strange behavior... He wants respect but generates disrespect. wish I had a quid for every Andy i have met. .

an hour spend on a cold kitchen floor later.... all permutations tried. Nada i'm afraid. some times the motor runs the correct way very slowly with no torque whatsoever but as soon as throttle is applied it flys off the wrong way at full pelt - open the throttle and motor stops and again slowly rotates the right way with no torque. Never having played with ebike motors before i dont know if this is indicative of a fault but when the learn wires are disconnected the motor does not do anything at all. no hum nothing. Not wanting to buy new parts until i can work out what is at fault controller or motor? im half suspecting the Controller but like i said this is the first time playing with bike kit.

Thanks Neilh, Thats what im planning to try today.

Show me where in my original post that it says i swapped ALL 3 phase wires? That's rights it Doesn't.. Your a know nothing bell end if truth be known. Stop trying to make yourself sound clever when a newbie ask for help, leave to the real experts.

Apparently 36 x willy nillys i would have cracked it. I would have just said I dunno pal. if you tried swapping Phases maybe the controller is goosed. already done that. just say You dont know if you dont know. I shall try the hall permutations (thank you neilh) as well as doing learn wire a few more times.

no i am daft but not that daft i only swapped two phase wires. for clarity i also swapped hall sensor leads a few times in an attempt. I dont quite understand why the swapping phase wires failed. but it did. I was hoping someone may have had the self same issues and solved it before.. SORRY YOUr GONNA have to take back your gotcha pal.

Unfortunately I didnt know they are troublesome until now. or i would have steered clear.

so you didnt read i have already swapped phase wires?

I will give the learn thing another go tomorrow...i just wanted to get it running to sell then look for something much better.
